Well said Pat and Billy. Funny how people sometimes take things for granted. Yesterday, I was on the verge of bitching about the quantity of leftovers, even after sending people out of here with food. Stopped myself before I had a chance to vocalize it by thinking to myself "you're a freakin idiot. Shut the #&#k up and be thankful".

I know exactly what you mean chief. My wife is Filipina originally from Mindanao (northern part of the Catholics, not the southern terrorist state) and her entire family still lives there out in the jungle, in nepa huts, with not even the smallest of what we would call "normal" living conditions. It so so primative it's really hard to describe, they have nothing in our eyes, but everything in theirs and are thankful for it. So for me nowadays I don't complain about much, other than about the boneheads I work with at times and the bonehead crap they do, but day to day living.... nope, not complaining, just thankful for what I have.
I hope everyone has good health, happy families, food on their table and a very Merry Christmas the rest of this holiday season.
