Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2006A Blessed Thanksgiving to All
With all of our ailments and troubles, I wish the very best to all. No big thread need be started...I know how we feel about each other...or we wouldn't be here trying to help and lend support.

Essential services continue here on Bank (national) holidays too, they include hospitals but not clinics. Doctors and nurses on hospital wards and A&E are on duty. Mary >>> Do your doctors work on Thanksgiving Day? >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Mary We have another post Thanksgiving tradition which has developed in the last few years. Many people have Friday off from work, and so it is a very long weekend. For years the day after Thanksgiving was the busiest Christmas shopping day of the year, and stores were really crowded. The tradition has now developed to the point where stores open *very* early in the morning----some at 12:01 a.m----and have special sales prices for the earliest shoppers. People here in the north are *lining up* (queing to you Brits) in the cold, dark, early morning hours and waiting. Then they open the store, and there is a mad rush to get the most limited items and best prices. In past years, the news on Friday night has shown some of these stampedes where people have gotten trampled. And we think the Running of the Bulls is crazy.....(I wouldnt go near a mall tomorrow.) > We have another post Thanksgiving tradition which has developed in the > last few years.

Christmas shopping here begins in October - or earlier :-( Yet the shops are still overflowinig on Christmas Eve! It's known as siege mentality, the shops (some of them) are closed for a whole two days so shoppers MUST stock up with enough to keep them going for a month. Not this family ... I hate shopping of any kind except for tools and over half a century we've accumulated far too many, although all have been used at one time or another. It makes it difficult to think of a Chrimstmas present for Spouse :-) Mary Mary |
