Giving thanks in 2019

As another Thanksgiving holiday is upon us it's time for me to ramble about things and/or people I'm thankful for so without further ado:

• I'm thankful for online savings accounts...which give my money the ability to earn at least some kind of interest since my regular bank savings account does not.
• I'm thankful for smart TVs, specifically mine which enables me to watch YouTube and other streaming channels when I'm bored and/or disgusted with my cable TV viewing options...which is sadly quite often now. 
• I'm thankful for budget reading glasses that I can buy at a grocery store or pharmacy as it saves me from having to spend hundreds of dollars at an eye-wear retailer.
• I'm thankful that I can still work, even if I find myself taking "Aleve" a little more often than I like to take the edge off the pain in my joints.
• I'm thankful for "zero turn" riding mowers of which I own two now, which allow me to mow large properties without the wear and tear on my knees that using a walk behind mower would create.
• I'm thankful for allopurinol, a drug which helps prevent gout flare ups and gout attacks in my joints.
• I'm thankful for the small group of people (including myself) who participate in the forums at my 13 year old internet message board, Monsterland Forums (aka Monsterland Asylum).
• I'm thankful for my smart phone, an iPhone 8 plus which helps me stay organized and serves as a reliable communication tool between me and my (lawn maintenance) customers
•  I'm thankful for Amazon Prime as the majority of merchandise I order from Amazon is delivered much more quickly.
• I'm thankful for eBay where I can find kaiju and superhero(and super villain) toys at reasonable prices to help broaden my growing collection of toys and action figures.
• I'm thankful for scented, all natural bar soap (which I order off Amazon) which leaves me feeling clean out of the shower and not like I just bathed with laundry detergent.
• I'm thankful for classic "Hammer" horror movies which I watch regularly.
• I'm finally thankful that I've never gotten caught up in the materialism of Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays overall.
