Riddle Sideways: either cushion/pillow, it does not mater
Riddle Sideways: or does it?

Riddle Sideways: are you and your house getting all ready for Give Thanks Day
Adams Rubble: Steven Tainer said we have more sleeplessness as the days shorten until winter sets in and our bodies get uinder stress
Riddle Sideways: ah! you caught that last sentence
Adams Rubble: I should say we "can have"
Adams Rubble: it will be a quiet Give Thanks Day here

Adams Rubble: I am finishing up some projects here
Riddle Sideways: that will make you feel better, to get some done, finished, gone, off plate
Adams Rubble: once I start remember what else I have to do I will be up nights, pillow or no pillow :)
Riddle Sideways: we have a division of forces here. One carries heavy things, reaches tall places, chop vegetables. The other worries about it all night long, planning, checking.
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: oh, adds carry water to list
Riddle Sideways: ha, the wood is chopped and some carried in yesterday
Riddle Sideways: had forgotten the other task that went with "Carry Water"

Riddle Sideways: ok, back to how many things to be Thankful about
Adams Rubble: how many times a day can we be thankful?
Riddle Sideways: ha, read your blog

Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: times 25 hours in a day = 100
Riddle Sideways: neat
Riddle Sideways: easy
  --BELL--
Adams Rubble: every time a bell rings, a PaBer gives his/her thanks
Adams Rubble: don't think I misssed the 25 hours in a day :)))

Riddle Sideways: remember the 99 day projects?
Adams Rubble: yes, I remember when...
Riddle Sideways: never did make it every day

Adams Rubble: the squirrels would be more likely
Adams Rubble decides to go look
Riddle Sideways: new squirrel subway by-pass tunnel
Riddle Sideways: The local Neighborhood Watch Web site is all up in arms by a "Darn leaf blower at 6:30am" article
Adams Rubble hates leaf blowers
Adams Rubble: they are digging up in the apartment drive way
Riddle Sideways: all the way too "Leaf blowers should be banned"
Riddle Sideways: ah, good investigating
Adams Rubble: leaf blowers are bad for the insects who lay their eggs under the leaves
Riddle Sideways: they laid the eggs when the leaf was on the tree
Riddle Sideways: then it fall off
Riddle Sideways: to an unhealthy driveway
Riddle Sideways: now being blown by the wind to nice dirt pile place
Riddle Sideways: right, going to think of it that way
Riddle Sideways: makes one happier
Riddle Sideways: about not really killing mealy bugs

Adams Rubble put on some Mozart to drown out the jackhammer and is thankful for Mozart and ear phones
Riddle Sideways: so much to be thankful for
Riddle Sideways: maybe will go past 100 thanks today
Adams Rubble stuck on Mozart right now :)

Riddle Sideways: just noted that the Book "Chop Wood Carry Water" has a sub-title of "How to fall in love with the process of Becoming Great"
Riddle Sideways: trying to not skip the thankfulness of the Process of chopping vegetables to roast for some days away meal
Riddle Sideways: will be a full house. Must clear out office to make a bed in here
Adams Rubble: It was nice of you to come today when you have so much to do
Riddle Sideways: NO!! am going to Play with some boxes of memorabilia
Riddle Sideways: it is early here.

Riddle Sideways: both aquariums need some water changes
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: you have aquariums and a cat?
Riddle Sideways: little fishes will be thankful for clean new water
Adams Rubble: I guess a face cat is not a fish cat?
Riddle Sideways: yes,  kitties do not like wet paws
Riddle Sideways: right. Face cat 'was' a great birder, but not fish
Riddle Sideways: think she is getting old
Riddle Sideways: she falls asleep guarding the driveway from inside
Adams Rubble: dreaming of catching birds

Riddle Sideways: there will be a 2 year old at the Thanks Table this year
Riddle Sideways: only 1 child, so no separate card table for the kids
Riddle Sideways: growing up, there was always a separate small table for the kids
Adams Rubble: the two year old will be happy
Adams Rubble: yes, big thing back when we were kids
Riddle Sideways: wonder why
Riddle Sideways: well the kids were not going to sit that long
Adams Rubble: and we'd have to walk 5 miles through the snow to get to the card table
Riddle Sideways: hahahaha, Yes
Riddle Sideways: kids would just spill on the nice white tablecloth
Riddle Sideways: the card table needed a plastic mat cover
