To all my SSO Film Friends -
I just want you to know how THANKFUL I am for YOU!
I have lots of things to be thankful for in my life, but I won't blab on about them here; I'll tell the people in my life that those things matter to. And those same people could care less about classic film. (My best friend confuses Cary Grant and Roc Hudson. I guess she tries.)
Classic film is such a big part of my life; it brings me a lot of relaxation to watch my favorite characters and a lot of joy to talk about them with you. Thanks for your insights, your photos, your fun comments and your joie de film.
I hope each of you has a wonderful holiday filled with as much of whatever you want to eat.
And guess what?
It's Fred Astaire Day!

Re: Thankful
Miss Birdy, you are one of the best things about this place! I'm thankful for you, and so many others. I can't start my day without SSO and a cup (or 3) of coffee! So cheers to all of you, and may you each find something special in your life to say "Thanks, Lord, for my special something".

Re: Thankful
Just thought I'd add my thanks for your presence on this spot on the internet. I was musing about ways that Thanksgiving was celebrated in the Finnie household (along with all the cooking) and I remembered that Peter and the Wolf (read by Peter Ustinov) used to be a record we always listened to. After hunting around a bit, I found this brief glimpse on youtube, which seems to feature some imaginatively staged live action (including Brian Blessed as narrator). All I have to do is hear those strains of music at the beginning and I'm off...Enjoy!:

Re: Thankful
Well I was envious that I was missing out on Thanksgiving but missing Fred Astaire day. Oh no! Poor me.
Birdy, you've voiced what I think about this place, thanks for saying it.
Mistaking Cary Grant and Rock Hudson
well she tries, that's more than my buddies do.

And if I may expand upon that, please, everyone, take advantage of your little family reunions today to tell every individual member of your families how much they mean to you, and how much you love them - 'cause, without going into detail, let me gently remind everyone, that anyone can be gone from your life in just one single beat of a heart - or the stopping of one.
To all our Beloveds - here and Over There - Happy Holidays, and Welcome Home!

Re: Thankful
You are each on my long list of things in my life to be thankful for! I hope that your turkeys are moist, your hearts are as full as a brimming cup of cheer, and that your thoughts and memories are all warm today and everyday.
Re: Thankful
Better late than never. I too wish to express my thanks for the wonderful SSO site and the wonderful people that inhabit it. May God bless you all.

So, happy Thanksgiving Day to all my friends from the United States and thanks Jon, the Administrators and each & every SSO member for keeping this place a wonderful haven for us all, including we people from outside the US. Thanks!!! SSO has become an important part of my everyday life.
