Gratuitous Gratefulness
« on: August 14, 2014, 12:42:50 PM »

Inspired by a meme making the rounds on various social media whatwhozits, I'm starting our own thread. Every day you remember to read this forum, let alone be motivated to post something (you lazy selfish bastards), list the 3 things for which you are at least somewhat OR not at all grateful. Might as well throw in the fun of guessing which way you lean. (Ahem, slightly to the right. I've *seen* the pics.)

1. Temperate weather.
2. Automatic-drip coffee machines.
3. A questionable conscience.
