Don't know what to be thankful for this thanksgiving? Be thankful you don't live in Indonesia. More than 140 people have been killed by the eruptions of Mount Merapi over the past two weeks.

(warning: some are really sad..)

Cool. In April, my mother-in-law finaly passed away after more than 15 years of living with brain damage due to multiple strokes and heart attacks. In early May, a good friend hung himself. His corpse was discovered by an even better friend who is now a shattered shell of the man he used to be.

In late May, my niece's dead body was found under a bridge in Bancroft. My mom died in June. I found out two days ago that my grandfather's common law wife finally succumed to cancer.

I can be thankful that I'm still alive, but I'm not liking my chances.
