What are you selfishly thankful for?

Asked by Blondesjon (33994points) November 27th, 2011

Thanksgiving has passed, along with all of it’s syrupy sentiment. Christmas is now about to begin with all of it’s syrupy sentiment.

I would like to take a moment and allow everybody to give a shout out from their baser selves.

Confused? Let me start.

I am thankful that, since I had to get laid off from work for the holidays, I have a nearly unlimited amount of time to devote to Bethesda’s new Elder Scrolls release, Skyrim.

spoiler alert: it fucking rules

How about you folks? What are you thankful for that is exclusively, uh, you?

Computers and internet, so I can explore it for hours.

I’m thankful that I live alone and there is no one here to force me to watch hours upon hours of the Military Channel as my brother did while here for the holidays.

I have used an alarm clock twice in the last year. I don’t have a real job and can sleep whenever the fuck I want. And I don’t really worry about money either. No car, no kids, no job, and no real worries.

I am incredibly thankful that I have not had to work a full-time job since my kids were born. That may sound like it is selfless and all about the children (who will think of the children?), but they have all been in school for five years and I could totally hold down a full-time job and be there for them at the same time, so yeah that time is pretty much mine to do with as I please. Tons and tons of thanks!

Everything we’re ever thankful for is something we’re selfishly thankful for. I am thankful that my kids are healthy and that my partner is intelligent since so few are.

I’m thankful for Tim Tebow making this football season exciting for Denver Bronco fans.

I’m also thankful for my husband’s enormous schwanzstucker. ;)

I’ll just steer @jillthetooth away from this thread.

I’m thankful that I, too, am banking hot dudes who know how to use their equipment properly.

I’m also thankful for @jonsblond‘s husband’s enormous schwanzstucker.

The two are not necessarily related.

I’m thankful we have what we want and want what we have and can play with abandon. At ‘50— something’ that’s awesome.

@KateTheGreat I hear that.

I’m thankful for shotguns in Uncharted, because it makes getting trophies easy. XD

But seriously…unlimited shotgun shells!

I am thankful the 99 showed me that wasting time in a tent is not equal to wasting time getting a message on some South Sea island with an umbrella drink.

KatawaGrey's avatar

@janbb: Just come on over. There’s plenty to go around. ;)

@chyna: Oh she knows, and she announced it at Thanksgiving dinner. :P

I’m thankful that I still get to wear shiny men’s dress shoes to work.

Mariah's avatar

That I finally feel good!

Oh and the soon to be had Zelda game too, yeah. Would Skyrim be any good on the PC you think?

judochop's avatar

I am selfishly thankful for everything.

I’m living alone and can eat whatever whenever or not at all. I can watch tv, movies and stop halfway through or read at the same time. I can wear the same clothes for 2 days or change 3 times a day. I rule the thermostat and the number of blankets. There is a box of chocolates in my fridge. And I have friends and family to visit with.

KatawaGrey's avatar

@faye: I also live by myself and it is amazing. People tell me they’re afraid they’d get lonely or think it’s dangerous for a woman to live alone and they are nuts. Living alone is the best and I am thoroughly in favor of it. :)

@KatawaGrey I am missing the man who knows what his stuff can really do though

ucme's avatar

I’m thankful that although I may hit the occasional “flat hook” off the tee, my frustration is quickly transformed into a much more pleasant feeling….....when the offending ball twats off some unsuspecting fuckers bonce!!
A sheer delight, the sound alone does it for me.

@KatawaGrey : That’s not what I announced at dinner!!! :-P
