content: Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow American EEVblog members. Please take the time to reflect on what the season really means, not just the food. To those EEVbloggers who don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I still wish you all a day of good cheer. Be thankful for all that you have, especially your family and friends and, considering the world economy, your job if you are gainfully employed. Also take the time to thank Dave for this blog where those of like mind can hang out, voice opinions and learn from each other. Have a great day!Tom, NW0LF

content: Quote from: c4757p on November 28, 2013, 04:15:02 pmThanksgiving is not just to thank our family; it is for us to thank those whom's grace help us in little (or big) ways.The origin of Thanksgiving I learned is: When the first bunch Europeans arrived, crop failure and a new environment was making the winter difficult to survive. But for the generosity of the Natives Americans, many of these new Americans would have been new dead ones. So, Thanksgiving was a feast to share and thank the Native Americans for their help.Well of course history continue to get rewritten. Now it is not important to learn 2+2=4 but instead it is important to explore why this student thinks 2+2=7. I have no idea what the story is now.Indeed,happy Thanksgiving to all. Particular thanks to those whom's path I crossed, and in their graciousness and their help, they make my life just a little better. (Hey, c4757p, that includes you and others on this forum. When my interest in EE was somewhat re-ignited, you helped me understand what a particular OpAmp was doing in a question I posted. With that understanding, I regained more interest in EE and now having fun toying with it - thankyou.)Rick

content: c4757p-probably a good bit of both. Rick, I do thank God for the people He has put in my path of life. I may not understand why some of these people have crossed my path when they did, but I usually figure it out. I also learned that grace isn't earned but is given freely. I try to give more than I receive from others, if for no other reason than that it makes me smile on the inside. I am grateful for the bounty of food my wife and I have been preparing since 6:00 this morning, the bounty of family coming to enjoy the foodand the Thanksgiving wishes by phone for those who couldn't be here. I also made it a point to add extra money to the grocery bill to go to the local food bank to help those in need. Soon, it will be time to eat and then time toTom, NW0LF
