Thank you Dan Gackle for making this site my happy place, the only place on the internet that I read every day. Thank you all for posting and upvoting the interesting stories. Thank you for replying to my comments. Thank you for upvoting them. Thank you for downvoting them, too. I come here to learn and be amazed at knowledge, creativity, and kindness.

I’ll upvote that. Being a mod is a difficult and nearly completely thankless (but utterly necessary) job, he’s got a good attitude and consistent enforcement of the rules. Cheers dang!

As an Immigrant to the USA, I did not get the whole thanksgiving thing. But then as I had a kid there, I warmed up to it. Then now I've been living abroad for almost 10 years without returning home to the USA and if I did not see this post I would not even have remembered. It's strange how we can so quickly adjust to holidays from different countries in just a few years -- while forgetting the ones back home so easil…

In the same boat myself. I immigrated from india to Canada many years ago and since then, Christmas is the only one I can actually remember and usually celebrate. The other traditional ones like Diwali, Durga Puja, Holi, Eid etc are all forgotten to me unless my family reminds me of it.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

I am grateful for this platform, the moderators and all contributors.

Thank you Dan.

I remember when I was new here. I was impressed and equally challenged by the achievements of people here. One of my first questions was how I could get a good remote job. Dan replied and informed me about the Whoishiring account. He sounded very positive and even wished me good luck. I felt so motivated and eventually used it to secure a remote work that I really like.
