So much time, so many comments. Thanks Neil. The fedExed turkey was just fine. I feel like you're the native American and I'm the pilgrim that doesn't know what to eat. Well shit, It's obvious that you can eat a turkey. I hope you and Sophia and the rest of the bloggers will have a nice holiday. Geez, it’s easy to see that all the Americans are taking a holiday.

So here is my thanks to my first commenter: mimi in houston,tx who commented on March 7,2006 about the post describing deer crossing the roads, both in New York and Texas state as well as in France - see how all favorite themes of the current blog are covered by this wonderful first comment! I will definitely have to write a note to thank her now. But thank YOU Neil for your blog that I will now read more regularly I promise. Happy Thanksgiving!

Tho I had a guestbook so I guess that counts, but that sucks too because the last one was actually the second guestbook, so I'm missing the first REAL guestbook entry. So here's to my first actual REAL blog commenter, <a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/thelynnsterzone/113767299213981373/" rel="nofollow">Carmi></a>, in January 2006, who congratulated me on finally getting my site out of the clutches of AOHell. As far as <a href="http://members.aol.com/lynnstermc/" rel="nofollow">my old site guestbook</a>, turns out *I* am the first signer there as I was testing. Unfortunately the next REAL signer, I can't thank because it was my lifelong friend/slash/bane of my existence KC, who wrote that back in 1998 and who is no longer with us. So a little teary-eyed here for a moment, but it was nice, too, to see that that's who my "first" there was. :) What sucks for me is all the years I had the site on AOL I didn’t have comments so that’s nearly a decade without comments.
