Thankfully the 25th day of 30dbc

I'm grateful that it's the 25th and November 30dbc is almost over. Also, that merit badges are half-off. Will give out a bunch.

*Cappucine: "My go-to tea is oolong. I appreciate the use of this abcediary form. It gives structure, length, flexxxibility. Glad you are sleeping better. Now... if you just had a hot-spring (onsen) out the back." re "Gratitude, an Abcediary" 

Viv: "Keeping it simple. Everything else is like icing on the cake." re "Thankful List" 

Robert: "I do what I want all the time at home, so it was a surprise when our janitor was cleaning at 11 a.m. ... on a Thursday! Holiday hours was all he could say. I did get to take my shower. Whew... Billie Jo and I ate our turkey-provolone sandwiches and lemon-merengue. It's hard living alone with nowhere much to go. Every place is closed. I did like the old poem.

Sonali: "I loved the washing machine. I'd settle for a balcony to hang my wash outside. I also like that you point out your privilege. America is deeply divided into tribes with privilege... or with none. Americans will not even acknowledge this. " re "Gratitude - #30DBC" 

?QP: "You are blessed and willing to state that. Blogging allows writers to get to know each other. I see your comments spread around so thanks for building community." re "Thankfulness" 

Sue: "Many humans think that they are self-sufficient and that their personal freedom to do what they want when they want to do it is more important than the community's continued existence and welfare. Kudos to Western Australia." re "Grateful " 

Petra: "I'm glad he 'takes you out'. I don't get offers like that... " re "My companion" 

Sox: "I am grateful I had someone to share lunch with me." re "November 25, 2021" 

Sandy: "I have no family close... which is sad... and at the moment no close family... which is sadder." re "Grateful Pickings" 

Mike: "Yes, you are blessed with family and great memories. " re "Blessed beyond measure [30 DBC entry]" 

Jenn: "Well, I'm thankful that you're here as well! You were missed for a couple days. Maverick as in Mav? Ricky? Rick... or "Verick the Maver" when he grows up to be a goth prince... Neat name. Easy but not common. Covid is still raging here... I will only find out who has died when I emerge from my cocoon. " re "Invalid Entry"
