I want to thank everyone for joining in on my AMD Family Thanksgiving..........I read some great comments, some even brought tears to my eyes.........Although Thanksgiving should be a time of joy........my heart goes out to all the families of the military that can't be with their love ones during the holiday season, please keep thoughts and prayers going for them that soon we will have them all home and there is no need for them serving over seas.
I thought if any of you are awake you might want your mind tweeked a bit so I thought I would post another trivia game. Since Thanksgiving also brings out the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade I would give you a trivia game on that one...............as usual there is no prize just the satisfaction you tried it............I hope you are all getting ready to have a wonderful day tomorrow and I hope that none of you are going to be alone.............if you are come on up........we are ass deep in snow but there will be plenty of food to pass and any of you would be more than welcomed into my home.
Here's your trivia game.....Ill post the answers tomorrow.........
1. How long does the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade usually last (televised)?
2.At what time does the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade usually start?
3.What year was the first Macy's Parade?
4.Since the very first Macy’s parade, what character closes the parade?
5.When did the first large balloons replace real animals at the Macy's Parade?

2.At what time does the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade usually start?
Thanksgiving Day... sharp!!!
4.Since the very first Macy’s parade, what character closes the parade?
Hmmm...  Santa Clause??
5.When did the first large balloons replace real animals at the Macy's Parade?
As soon as someone discovered they could fly down the length of the parade in helium filled balloons... rather than having to walk it!!
11.What time period is the only time the Macy's Parade was not held and why?
Just so I can play it safe and save face... I'm gonna say: the day the Pilgrims landed and settled in Plymouth, MA. It took 'em all day to unload their ships!
HELL... I dunno! Trivia questions evade me!

ooh ooh ooh,,, that sounds like a really bad imitation of Horshack from Kotter.
I knew 3 of them.... yep, have to agree with OHT.
3 out of 12...that's an F on any test.  
But I learned more about the history of the parade.
