Update XIX: Melancholy and the Infinite Napping

[King]

Talk is cheap, yo. I still remember the Ice Cream Challenge. Thanksgiving is coming up.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Thank you guys for your encouragement this evening.  It is time to put action to my plans.  As the Bible says in the book of James - Faith without works is dead.  This is just the beginning of our discussions of this journey.  Tomorrow, I will start putting it into practice as best I can.  I will likely fall short of my goal every now and then, but the key will be to get back up and do it again.  I will take a "break" for Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, but then again, I won't gorge myself either, limiting myself to one helping of each dish, and at least it will be mostly healthier options with turkey and vegetables.  The only unhealthy part will be dessert and I'll not overdo it there, either.  At least there won't be burgers, fries, and shakes at the holiday meals.  New Year's Day we always follow tradition and have black-eyed peas at dinner (except for Dad who detests them), so that's something to look forward to.

I am going to read my Bible for a little bit this evening and then go to bed at 2200 to get ready for a Friday, Day 15, and the closure of Week 3.

Holy sh[inks], yes! This! But you've got to DO, Jeff. And continue DOING. Don't stop.

A feast day on a couple of holidays isn't a big deal if you follow through on both eating well and execising every day.

The book of James has another gem in it.  "Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only."

Have you had a McRib yet? I think I'll get one tomorrow. So glad they're back!

That's one thing I do not like is the McRib.

Talk is definitely cheap.  I may have a little ice cream on Thanksgiving with my pie, but the non-holy-days I will honor the challenge.  With the Thanksgiving and Christmas clause in the challenge contract, this challenge will expire on December 31, 2014 at 2359.

EDIT: This one is a better and more realistic tool to use (at least when it comes to those that you don't have to create an account for; I don't want RealAge pounding me with never-ending emails saying "OMG You're Unhealthy As Hell" after taking the test as Bushie)

That said my virtual age was 1.5 years....

You're not going to behave yourself. I know you. You still refuse to eat vegetables. No weight loss will happen without vegetables in every meal. Sorry, friend.

He just needs to cut his total caloric intake. Bushie could drink water and take vitamins for a week or two and cut the 20 lbs. he wants to shed easy.

Bushie needs to go back to 1979 this season.

Thanksgiving is a holy day now?

Any given recognized day somehow owes it to Christianity in Bushie-Land.

Tomorrow, I will probably have Chick-fil-a for lunch and try to eat light when I go to the McDonald's on the turnpike for dinner.

Please tell me this habit will soon go away.

[Joe Biden 2020]

That's what holiday stands for - holy day.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

That's called an etymology, Bushie, not an abbreviation.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Bushie is as competent in handling of his life as Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was in handling Mexico.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Since when did Thanksgiving become a holy day again, Bushie?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Since when did Thanksgiving become a holy day again, Bushie?

Since Jesus went back to Earth to feed the pilgrims, os course.

Speaking of... Bushie, can you recall the time of day Jesus descended from the sky with the Declaration of Independence?  I want to know exactly when to set off the bottle rocket from my ass next July 4th.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I am seriously considering going back to my no fries and no ice cream diet that I did in September.  I will still eat potatoes when they are served to me, but I will not have any French fries.  Yes, my attitude needs to change and slowly, but surely, I will change this attitude.

You didn't succeed at the no fries no ice cream diet so forget it.  Explain to me why you have to eat potatoes if "served to me"?  What does that mean?  You're 33 years old and 100+ pounds overweight and your family knows it, so just say "no thanks". 

[Joe Biden 2020]

Thanksgiving is a Christian holy day because this country was founded on Biblical principles and the pilgrims celebrated and gave thanks for what God had done for them.  It is a fact that every good thing originates from God.  Today, Thanksgiving is a good time to give thanks for all God has done for us through that year and opens our hearts to the celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are connected and cannot be separated.  Both are Christian holy days and prepares us to receive God's blessings for the coming year.  That's why so many put Thanksgiving and Christmas in the same holiday season.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Bushie also thinks the 4th of July is a Christian holiday too FYI.

Indeed.  I touched on this a few posts back.

1. No it wasn't, and it doesn't matter how many times you Christians friggin say it. 

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact - "The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience."

3. Watch me.

4. Hmmm... I'll make a surprise appearance at a Jewish friend's house and make sure they are eating Chinese, then.

Wait, so do you believe that all holidays are holy days? What about Memorial Day, or Labor Day?

On the 4th of July Jesus returned to Earth once again, this time to free the Americans.

I don't know about Labor Day, but I'm darn sure that on November 11, 1918 Jesus did personally stop the war.

Doesn't that sound logical?

[Mr. Morden]

Thanksgiving and Christmas are connected and cannot be separated. 

In that case, what are your thoughts on non-Christians who celebrate Thanksgiving?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Thanksgiving is a Christian holy day because this country was founded on Biblical principles

If anything, the United States was founded on the 18th Century Enlightenment ideas.

[King]

Thanksgiving and Christmas are connected and cannot be separated. 

In that case, what are your thoughts on non-Christians who celebrate Thanksgiving?

Or non-American Christians who don't celebrate Thanksgiving?

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

And what about Canadian Thanksgiving in October?
