I've never really been a fan of Thanksgiving. It always seems to turn into another reminder of how weak my relationship with my parents is becoming. Although it is always nice to see my brother and sister, I never really felt that sense of belonging that the season is supposedly about, at least I don't think so. Anywho, due to Canada's quirky customs, its already passed and I don't have to think about it anymore.
Spoiler:
Although I really don't mind all the food...

Sigh. I try to post something even remotely positive and it doesn't bite. One reason I hardly post in General anymore. We only have control over our own feelings and actions. Not anyone else.

True, but is possible to influence another's feelings. While it is much easier to make someone feel worse (which can be almost unavoidable in some situations), making someone feel better usually causes both party's have a brighter outlook. I must admit it is always nice to see when someone shares a nice story/post in here, so keep on with your happy [&@%!]. Makes this place more fun

Don't be disheartened. I'm sure lots of people agree with you and found the message warm and inspiring. I know i did. General Discussion has a way of bringing out the comedic, witty responses more than the heartfelt sentimental ones sometimes, is all.

I think I got a pinched nerve in my left elbow. When I try to straighten my arm all the way or try to bend my arm all the way, I get a shooting pain all around my left elbow, especially the back in the elbow. It hurts like hell. As long as I don't try to do those two things, it's just fine.
It's done this a few times before through the years. It'll get better after about a day or two.
