Thankful that Mrs. GL is one step away from a new job and everyone in this house is healthy. My biggest fear of the pandemic was my kids reading and math levels. This year they’ve exceeded in both and past the “normal” of where they should be.
Also thankful one of my kids ripped the doctor a new asshole when he stuck him with the first dose of Pfizer. Sure, he ended up getting another shot but screaming “I SAID I WANTED TO SEE THE NEEDLE” was priceless. I’m forever the proud dad.
The ability to see my friends again, go to shows and even a festival this year! not getting a severe case of covid, my family and friends are in good health. finding my wonderful partner and realizing i was way too fucking good to/for my ex after they broke my heart.

I'm missing Bonnaroo in 2022 cause Mrs. Dale Cooper is knocked up. First kid. Should be fun? Or terrifying? Both. idk But thankful we're healthy and stable enough to try and make this work to its full potential.

Your kid would be on our shit list if he pulled that at our pharmacy.

it is funny though.
Oh for sure. The doctor was obviously not happy about it. He didn’t even offer the kid Nerd’s after it was done. I had to go buy him cookies.
Didn’t help that I started belly laughing after the kid left the room.
I’m healthy Ball & Chain is healthy Having duck for thanksgiving dinner Retired from hell on wheels job Get to do what the fuck I want to now Cancer free still Music Music Music 🎶 🎼 🎵 Biggest problem is what’s voted out next in breakfast survey
I am grateful for the love and light in my life: family, partners, friends (yes, even my delightful weird internet frandos), my two purrfect kitty cats.
Got a new job a few months ago and am being paid more--still a nonprofit salary but actually livable now--and more importantly, am feeling more valued for my ideas and skill sets.
Bought a house earlier this year! That's pretty neat, still rather unsure how I managed to find something in my budget and have the offer accepted - but I'm super grateful that I did.
Music! Got some dope shows lined up over the coming months and felt so revived seeing Caro P in Sept then Charli in Oct - and a lovely intimate venue show from Pinegrove a few weeks ago too.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Grateful my mom is no longer suffering. Grateful for the friends and family that surrounded us when she passed (including many inforooers who reached out to me). Grateful for good health and happiness. Grateful for live music, my dogs, and my job and the good people I work with. Grateful to have stayed clean and sober through the worst few years of my life.
And grateful for all of y'all and your good humor. Inforoo gave me a good laugh almost every day no matter how dark shit got.

I'm thankful for my wife, our relative health, stable employment for both of us, the ability to move to Philadelphia earlier this fall, our pup Scarlett (even when she's five hand fulls), my parents, siblings, nephews and niece, in laws, serenity on the golf course, and queso.
I love all of you and like most of you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, I hope you are able to celebrate however you wish.
So many things to be thankful for. For the first time ever, I am making more than a living wage and have savings in my account and I am not hustling just to get by. That my breakdown last year actually put me on the path of getting and being healthy mentally and physically. My son didn't get super sick when he got covid last year and even though he got deployed last October, he came home in October this year (and will never get deployed again). I am grateful for my amazing hubby thejeremy, the support he gives and all he does for me emotionally. Plus, he hasn't had any severe MS relapses this year. And all you weirdos. Y'all get me through the day with your ridiculousness. Thank you. <3

Thankful for: Family, especially my parents for watching my kid and keeping him safe while I work. They're getting emotional about him starting preschool next week, and the bond they have is so special
Friends, I've gained a new appreciation for the people I love after losing my closest friend last year
The feral cat family in my yard, and the free program that will allow me to trap and fix them
Improved health that has given me newfound energy and enthusiasm for life
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Grateful for all of you. I have known some of you for over 10 years now, and you have been lighthouses in my life during some dark times.
My family and their health. My son doing well his first year of college. My other son and his lil family. My parents still being here. My brother's sobriety this year.
My BF, and the fact that he just landed a Financial Analyst job at the Clinic working with grant money! Finally able to get credit for the MBA he earned last year.

I'm thankful for my electric mixer, for my dodgeball team, for Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago, for my dog, for new beginnings, for the prospect of new adventures in the coming year, for the plants in my windowsill, for SOPHIE, for my best friend from my hometown who I hope has great things coming in her future next and for my best friend from college who I can talk to about both Korean foreign policy *and* our boxed macaroni and cheese recipes, for my sister, my parents, and my grandparents.
This year was the hardest on record. I'm thankful to be crawling up the other side of the valley, however much I may stumble at times. I'm thankful for clarity and closure. I'm thankful for the friends who made their way from the far background of my life to the forefront - I've added another person to my circle of close friends, and that gets rarer the older I get. I'm thankful for a short, tender relationship that felt right at all points, including its end. It was completely pure, and not even bittersweet. Reminded me what relationships can be like. I'm thankful for every person that listened to me just fuckin' lasjf;alsfja;slfjalwkenfakwfj when that was all I had to offer. I'm so very thankful for my family. I'm thankful to learn how to actually use cannabis as medicine and find what works for me. I'm thankful we were able to salvage Bonnaroo weekend and make it a great time camping in the woods. Except for the wasps, fuck wasps. I'm thankful for my job. I'm thankful for the poor photography and lax attitude towards fire codes that enabled me to get a great apartment. I'm thankful for music! Sometimes it's the only thing that makes sense.
And of course, I'm thankful for you all. This site and its people have been a significant part of my life for some time now, and I'm grateful to be part of this community. Plus y'all let me both tell bad jokes and self-indulgently word vomit when I'm feeling gabby, and I appreciate that.

Things I am Thankful For, a List:
-My partner Neville, who puts up with so much of my shit. He has no idea how much I appreciate him, because I’m not very good at expressing it directly to him. He is the love of my life. -Science, which has given my Dad the ability to walk again, and for all of us to be able to gather this year for the holidays. -Breakfast foods, even the non-nutritionally dense ones. -Traveling, which I have been lucky to do a good amount of this past year and will (hopefully) continue to do in 2022. -The ability to meet so many of you lovely people this year, even though hurricanes tried to keep us apart. -My sweet furry baby Andy, the bestest boi. -This burnt orange cardigan I am wearing right now, it’s so comfy. -Experiencing live music again after ~18 months away. Getting lost in the beat with thousands of other strangers feels even better now.

No particular order:
- My sister, her husband and their two dogs - That whatever higher power exists, or simply pressure, gave me the strength to accept I'm trans and come out - All of you - the cabin trip and the people who went on it - my best friends - that my family is finally in good health again

Jesus, what a year. I’m thankful for medical science, both for the vaccines and for enabling the conception of my daughter, due in less than a month. I’m thankful for my wife, who’s my best friend, has kick-ass taste in music, and bore up like a goddamn hero during a long and grueling IVF process that was nothing but crushing disappointments over and over until it suddenly wasn’t. I’m both super-stoked for and terrified of first-time fatherhood, but I’m thankful I’m going to get to experience it.
I’m thankful I’ve been able to cobble together enough freelance work to keep us afloat this year, even as finding a full-time gig has proved elusive. I’m thankful both my wife and I survived COVID and came out with long-term effects that are only mild annoyances. I’m thankful for my therapist. I’m thankful for our dog, who’s my first, and is just the cutest, sweetest girl there ever was. I’m thankful to live in New York City, where it was kind of awful to be last year, but where at least I know the freaks and weirdos outnumber the conservatives and where fascism still kind of has to keep it chill (in most parts of the city, anyway) because it’s decidedly a minority point of view. Plus, we get almost all the good shows.
I’m thankful for music. Just all of it. I haven’t performed on stage since February 2020, but playing music keeps me sane and does things for my soul that nothing else can or does. I’m thankful for so much great music to listen to and with which to fill my brain and heart. And I’m thankful that, even if I haven’t been able to replicate past years’ torrid concert pace, I’ve at least been able to see a bunch of shows this year, including amazing sets from some of my all-time favorite bands. It’s church, for me, and not having it in 2020 hit me hard (as I’m sure it did for all of us here), so having that back somewhat was huge.
And, yeah, I’m thankful for this little online social circle. I was really looking forward to meeting a lot of you in person at Roo ‘21 (RIP), and I hope I’ll get to do that at some point in the future, but y’all are a trip even when it’s just people calling me an asshole in writing on a screen. I haven’t had much community since my theater career died out and my last band broke up right before the panini hit, so it’s good to have a place to come and bounce off other, like-minded (mostly) folks. Thanks for that.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

I’m thankful for a lovely meal for which all I had to do was make cookies and show up (and I didn’t even really have to make cookies). And I’m thankful for these sweatpants that I’ve changed into following that meal.
I’m thankful that I was able to get up before sunrise to go run three miles in the cold with a couple thousand people. And I’m thankful my mom went with me and was there at the finish line cheering me on.
I’m thankful for Josh and my dogs and my mom and my siblings and siblings-in-law and grandparents and the rest. And I’m thankful for my friends who I love like my family.
