hiking with me and brings their flask, or has wine every night with dinner, or is into beer
Let's hope you meet someone who doesn't do any of those, there are some around

Welcome Fantail
Thanks Venecia - it wasn't a big deal as it was just the one time, I was partly relieved to be honest.
Enjoyed the musical flash mob, have been a passenger and a supplier of parts to the Copenhagen Metro, it is fairly new, this century anyways

Morning
Happy Thanksgiving Americans!!
You know what?! I have never had a single drink on thanksgiving. ever.
No one in my family drinks except me ( my brother RARELY) and I liked drinking alone.
I've only drank at one xmas party about 10 years ago, total secret wine binge drinker.

Ha, thank Mecanix! I guess that's true. Maybe that's a bad example. In general I just mean, people who drink but the drinking's kind of an aside to the REAL things they do are fine with me. By the hiking I meant, I really like backpacking and camping. I don't want to date someone whose definition of camping is parking a car, building a fire, and drinking a 30 pack. But if someone wants to go on a big hike with me, if they pull out a flask and have a drink at the campfire, that's fine with me. Ya know? Alcohol as a side dish to the real activity.

I'm online dating though, which is really nice... I have on my profile that I don't drink ever. So that already weeds out the heavy drinkers I think. Not one of my dates has been at a bar. Hallelujah. I was worried about that.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans, and Happy-Nother-Sober-Day-Thankful to EVERYONE!
Making my assigned dishes. I spend Thanksgivings with my partner's extended family. We've been together a very long time, so they are my family, too. But there is always some grief and guilt mixed in that I can't spend an enjoyable holiday with my original family, too....distance, loss, estrangement, and too much sadness....turns me into a coward, and I stay with the happy partner's happy family instead.

grateful
good morning everyone, and happy Thanksgiving!
So much to be grateful for this morning. I'm even grateful for the fact that I can once again feel gratitude in my heart, experience it wholeheartedly. There was a time when that part of me was kind of dead to that experience. So now I have meta-gratitude. And metta-gratitude.

I haven't been part of this weekly thread for all that long, though I've been on SR for a little over two years. For me, I was hoping to find an extra place to hang my hat, particularly since activity in my SR class has become somewhat more infrequent.
Please know that everyone on this thread started out as a newcomer to it at one point. Just jump in. Tell us as much as you'd like about yourself. The people on this thread are so friendly. The next thing you know, you'll feel like you've known them forever. I'm glad I climbed on the bus and you will be, too.
Just be prepared to talk about food. A lot.
Happy Thanksgiving, Healthygoals!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I had the best day ever! I woke up at 8:30 am with lots of energy, put on my headphones to sing while I cook, and started on the meal. Hubby heard me singing and came in the kitchen saying he heard a beautiful melody that woke him up....lol...Later my sister, 3 nieces, and my sister in law came by and we had a wonderful time. They adhered to my rule of no alcohol in the house and everything went smoothly. I ate like there was no tomorrow and really enjoyed every bit of it! I even ate the candied yams and chocolate cake. I wanted to make the most of my being able to eat sweets now that I'm sober. I am so thankful for this day. I feel wonderful!

Thanksgiving in the Guatemalan Caribbean has been quite a treat. Of to hit the water soon, thought I'd share a few pics and check in. The drive up here was a bear, but well worth it.
And of course, Thanksgiving Dinner:
