– most stuffing is mid.
– at thanksgiving, you are supposed to reflect upon the things you are thankful for, so I wanted to say that I’m thankful for caleb and rafe and for all of the members of this discord server. last year, my wife and I split up around this time and then I lost my father. I have come to terms with some personal issues, overcome a huge weight problem, and am now employed full-time. the love and support here has been immensely strong and has helped me achieve those things, so I am eternally grateful. thank you. I love you all!
– I’m thankful for you all as well. on a less serious note, why can’t the family make just enough thanksgiving dinner instead of so much that at least one-third inevitably gets thrown away?
