Entry bubble You. Me. Thanksgiving.

By: Nancy | November 27, 2008 | Category: Home and Family

Here we are again for the second year in a row:  You. Me. Turkey Day. If you won't ask me what I'm doing blogging all by myself on Thanksgiving, I won't ask you why you're reading a blog today instead of watching to see which balloon pops first in the Macy's Parade. Or eating a hunk of pie. Or, ideally, doing both at the same time.

Jake's already given you lots of great Thanksgiving tips from USA.gov and around the government web to help you make sure that—

Regardless of how you're celebrating today, you'll know the story of what happened that first Thanksgiving...


You'll practice safe food handling in preparing your turkey...


You'll know what to do with all those leftovers...


Yep, we've covered it all now, except for one thing—what we're thankful for here at Gov Gab headquarters:

You.

Thank you for stopping by, for reading, commenting, emailing us, and for telling your friends and your coworkers about Gov Gab.p

When we're counting our blessings today, we're thinking of you.

Your posting was full of joy and happiness, and seems like you are in the holiday spirit. All that joy-joy is really meaningless to the poor. A turkey in many families across this great nation can't fit it into the family budget. Christmas this year will not only be a flop for the stores but the for the rest of the nation as well. Maybe we should out source some of government jobs, look at all the money we will save.....

Guru, I agree--it has really been a heartbreakingly difficult year for so many people.

A number of my recent blog posts have been about layoffs and finding work and saving money. I was hopeful in this blog post that even during this difficult time in our nation's history, we might still be able to find joy in family and friends and in a few silly videos.

I want to say thank you to Gov Gab team. The information that you all share with us has been a blessing in my life and those around me. Just that other day I printed off the post about quitting smoking by Colleen and gave it to one of my fellow coworkers who is trying to quit smoking. He was thankful for the phone number that provided in the post.

I found that joy or happiness does not come from money or the things that I have. I found that joy comes from time I spend with family and friends, but more importantly that a greater joy comes from knowing that my God loves me and that He gave his life for me.

Again thank you Gov Gabbers for all that you all do.

Guru,

I respect your opinion regarding outsourcing. However, my experience has been that one to two more full-time government employees could have done the work of 2 government contractors (employing 4 employees plus administative staff). The full-time government employees, who were supposed to have their workload reduced by the employing of contractors, ended up spending a lot of time helping the contactors do their job. There was definitely no savings by outsourcing!
Perhaps you had a different/better experience with outsourcing!

Thank you very much Gov. Gabber's. I was just looking around and this is really cool.

Thank you again. I was looking for somebody to talk to on here like a chat room. But I think this is alot better. :)

Have a wonderful day. Keep up the good work that you all do.
