Val-the-nomad Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 As a British citizen I don't have any real connection to Thanksgiving, and to be honest until I moved overseas I didn't really know anything about it. Now I have lots of American friends I get at least one invitation to feast on great food, although I'm told many of the components are not authentic as it's difficult to find the exact ingredients needed. Tomorrow I will enjoy turkey, (don't ask how much it cost!), stuffing, broccoli casserole, various potato and vegetable dishes, and of course pumpkin pie, (thanks to Costco). I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a fabulous holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacelover8126 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! I started mine off with a 5K race, but we just walked and oddly enough, drank. People set up tables with mimosas and beer and it was fun. Then we went to my in-laws' house and had our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It was a good day.

Val-the-nomad Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks Spacelover. Your day sounds like it was fun. I nearly missed my party as the transmission on my car gave out, but luckily someone offered to collect me so it all worked out well in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacelover8126 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 That's a bad day for your car to break down! I'm glad you got to your party and I hope the car's transmission isn't horribly expensive to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you got to your party and I hope the car's transmission isn't horribly expensive to fix. Thanks Space. I think it costs around $2-3000, which is more than the car is worth these days. The good news is that the garage owner found it is subject to a recall for transmission faults, so it will be replaced for free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacelover8126 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Oh that's great! I'm so glad you won't have to pay for the repairs; I bet that is a load off your mind. I know I would have been stressing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-the-nomad Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I can hardly believe it's a year since I posted this. It's odd, but it seems like both yesterday and ten years ago - not sure how that is possible; perhaps the concept of time is not as straightforward as it seems?
