Fresh out of the shower, he gets dressed. However, Edith's (Jean Stapleton) spider emergency interrupts Archie's holiday buzz. Archie's response to his wife is a comedic gem. He tells her that the spider will walk 'funny' for life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Thanksgiving in the 1950s Was Full of Gratitude</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/thanksgiving-in-the-1950s-was-full-of-gratitude/</link><pubDate>Wed, 15 Nov 2023 20:17:46 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/thanksgiving-in-the-1950s-was-full-of-gratitude/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It was a time when prosperity flourished, and families settled into their brand-new suburban homes.

Remember how it all started back in 1924? Macy's flagship store in Manhattan expanded to cover an entire city block, and they decided to throw a Thanksgiving morning parade to celebrate and kick off the holiday shopping season.

One of the reasons could be because of the food. Thanksgiving no doubt has the best food amongst all the holidays. When a scrumptious golden turkey is on the line, who can say no.

What these and other smart animals have in common is that they're vertebrates. Invertebrates -- insects, lobsters, earthworms, and the like -- hardly even have anything we could call a brain.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>These Divers Saved a Whale Trapped in an Anchor.

Unfortunately, I very rarely get the chance. These animals have marveled me for a long time. They are unique animals because they can be huge but friendly at the same time. Catching a glimpse of a surfacing humpback whale is a rare experience, but a beautiful one to behold. These giant mammals of the sea swim to the surface for air for just a couple of seconds before returning to deep waters.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Girl Gets a Gift From Stepmother and Gives Her an Amazing Thank You</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/girl-gets-gift-stepmother-gives-amazing-thank/</link><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jan 2018 09:03:35 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/girl-gets-gift-stepmother-gives-amazing-thank/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Finding exactly the right present for someone close to your heart isn't always easy.

Share it! We love animals and are curious about how they live and all of their different behaviors. We even have people who dedicate their entire lives to observing animals and all of their different behaviors. We know as much as we do about animals because of them, to which we can’t ever thank them enough.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Horse Has an Unusual Way to Thank Her Savior, Wow!</title><link>https://madlyodd.com/horse-unusual-way-thank-savior-wow/</link><pubDate>Sun, 26 Mar 2017 18:08:14 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://madlyodd.com/horse-unusual-way-thank-savior-wow/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I hate it when animals are chained up. It makes them miserable… and then people wonder why they are so grouchy if you go near them. Well, let’s see how you would react if your range of movement was restricted 24 hours a day while you stood out in the open. I have a feeling that you would be similarly grouchy. Well, fortunately, a horse in Romania had a kind soul come his way to rectify his situation.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Pregnancy Complications Caused Premature Birth.

However, when babies are born before their time, parents can understandably be very concerned about their precious child. At a time of what should be filled with celebrations and good wishes, fear creeps around in everyone’s hearts. For this couple, Thanksgiving of 2014 proved to be a tough holiday when their daughter was born early.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Chihuahua Sees Some Thanksgiving Food on a Counter.

They’ve raised it to an art form. Dogs especially. Why not? Their willingness to let humans feed them is how they transformed from being wild dogs to being domesticated ones. They know how to pluck at the human heartstring. But I don’t think many people have seen the artistry for begging raised to this level. The one doing it in this video? A Chihuahua named Sloopy.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Mom Is Preparing Food for a Church Thanksgiving Meal. Who Comes in?

Her son or daughter may be stationed thousands of miles away and it’s can be virtually impossible to come home for holidays. They generally have learned to accept it as part of the sacrifice of having their child protect their country. The mother in this video, though, was very upset at her son was not able to come home for Thanksgiving.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>This Cat Was Trapped in the Snow and Was Frozen.
