I am so happy for you. You don't know me at all and we'll never meet. But from all the way over here in the North East of England I've watched all of your videos and I just want you to know you're a really great person. You make the kinds of videos that KZitem should be all about. So, I might be a Brit, but this Thanksgiving I'm grateful for you. Have an amazing Christmas and a beautiful New Year. Love, music and peace.

I would rather live under a rock before doing that again! Glad you found a nice place to call home Shoestring 😎😎😎😎

Eggactly. This is what I mentioned in our Thanksgiving prayer. Makes me very angry and sad that she is continually being hated and disrespected by flag kneelers and people trying to change our constitution declaration etc. who flat out hate the Greastest land on Earth. United States of America. I wish we had a order that we could enforce that if its proven or if you amit you don't agree with American values and beleive in our constitution,stand and Pledge to our flag, give thanks to the 100's of thousands of men and women whom have died been disfigured mangled physically,mentality disfigured do to fighting for our forever loving freedom which by no means is free. I wish there was a haters island that we could send USA haters too and let them stay there. We have to forever speak out and fight for our freedom. Not to mention the fact that family's of these soldiers are changed forever. So yes by all means I give thanks to first Jesus Christ. I give thanks to health of family and my health I give thanks to all military personnel I give thanks to all soldiers who have died for this country and would die for this this country . I give thanks to all 1st responders,who put there life on the line to save and protect ours everyday I give thanks to medical doctors, staff etc who work tirelessly sun up to sundown 24/7 365 a day. To make you or I family ,anyone at any time survive to see another day. Right now at this very moment my 85 year old mother is hanging on to life after having a stroke 2 weeks ago. So yes medical staff definalty has my deepest thanks and appreciation as they work tirelessly to get my mother better. I give thanks to the USA. Happy Thanksgiving to Americans who love this country.

Your videos are always a treat, Shoestring. Thank you for allowing us to peek behind the curtain from time to time, and open up your home to us in this way. More often than not, our own lives can become burdensome and overwhelming, and KZitem has provided me a sense of escape to unplug from my own world when I need to. Your videos allow me a unique and welcome opportunity to feel like I am riding with you, or in this case, just hanging out and getting to know you better, like a regular friend. I think you are, indeed, the kind of friend we should all desire to have and also the kind of person we should aspire to be. You're a good human being. Humble, kind, generous, loving, and caring. You make me want to be a better person, and I'm thankful for that.

Happy Thanksgiving too ! I have a roof over my head too, yet, it will need torn on down soon. The ratcoons came in from the roof. Possums eat up the cat food. A big one was here eating the cats food. And the ratcoons eat up all the cat food, then the birds, then the rats come. The month of November is all about gratitude and what I am thankful for. That I am sober and clean just for today ! That I have something to eat. That I have clothes to wear. In 1980 was on the streets of Tuscon, Az. sleeping and eating out of dumpsters. Was not fun got the runs too and just about got me stuck in a tall dumpster. Had to wait in a long line to get a big burretto. Then go to the nooners meeting of AA. I still take it all one day at a time and just do my best. When I get new stuff share that with others. I share and share on here and many will copy the mail, yet, they don't share back with me. Bruce is one he doesn't share much new stuff of his back to me. I would like him to do so. This doesn't happen. I got to watch a train engine being built with the two pins underneath it. A disel engine to drive a gennerator to drive the electric drive wheels. The big fuel tanks and so on. The I saw a big yard making up the trains with all the cars on different tracks and this was neat too. I watched them repair the tracks. I see the trains pull over and let another one go ahead. KZitem put trains stuff on for me to watch. They have a two day train from Montrel, to some other place and it is 430 us bucks to have a hotel room in the car and meals. I think it goes to Novascotia. I would just pay if I am going long distance. I have been blessed richley the last 41 one years. Not with cash yet with blessings that I am thankful for them all. I cannot be greatful enough for the guys that helped to save my life. I could not stop drinking and drugging on my own. I had to have help. And I got to find a higher power again to help me too. I still have some turkey left, I ate most of the bird myself. Some one brought one some food too. Enjoy the meal. I can only eat so much at one time. Oh am reading another book about another lifestyle change. Am cleaning up the clutter. I moved in here with nothing years ago. I used my bicycle to move in a lot of stuff. Today I have stuff, my stuff has stuff, and it is stacked up in some places. Slowly I am reading the book and attending to my matieral things. Enjoy the day. Paul
