I'm spending Thanksgiving day by myself. My lady friend is coming over after she is done with her family stuff and we are jumping in the truck to drive down to southern Oregon to pick up my buddy who is getting out of jail at 7am Friday.
We're gonna come back here and have Thanksgiving dinner a day late with all the friends, since they all had plans Thanksgiving day anyways. I'm preparing a bacon explosion to get smoked as my entree. My friend's mother is providing the late turkey. I typically make a rum ham, but he's now on probation... It's just like Thanksgiving, except with all the friends that you would much rather hang out with. |

I am alone today, wife left yesterday to go to her mom's place.
I had to work late yesterday. I like being alone on these holidays, less stress.

Not really alone as wife and daughter at home. But I am working day shift, go home and sleep some then go back in for the over night shift and work Friday night shift. Good holiday pay though.

Family is all hours away. I have to work Friday, and all weekend--it's our busy season. I roast a turkey and make all the fixin's, have a nice meal and take a nap. I am truly thankful.

I'm 700 miles from home working a shutdown. I'm guessing that there should be a Chinese food joint open although. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote Ha! I've got that covered. My girlfriend is Chinese and is going to make eggrolls. I'm making the turkey, etc. After we eat, she'll go join her sisters and cousins and go power shopping. I will target shoot in my back yard then drink beer and watch football. |

Not alone, deployed. Just ate, it was good. Would rather be home alone than here, but I'm here until mid Jan or early Feb. Also 2 of our Brit brothers got killed yesterday. Could be worse.

We never celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday when I was married. It was always Saturday because it took extended family that long to get back to town.
So I didn't expect an invite to my old house by the ex today I'll be working a double shift later thanks to Black Friday mayhem. For now I have ribs in the oven and flipping through bad Turkey Day TV programming I doubt I'll be getting an invite for Saturday either |

In a hotel out of town for work. I might get a hooker off of backpage.

3 years ago, my beautiful wife of many years passed away. Thanksgiving was always a big deal here as she loved, loved throwing a big spread for children and G/C. The first year at Thanksgiving-- I stayed home, not feeling sorry for myself-- I just didn't have the heart to go any where. My sis and daughter both begged me to come to their home,, but did not want to.....
I have now been ''dating'' a very attractive widow for several months and we will have a blow-out at her home today. She has 3 grandsons in the military and all are coming home for today-- she is thrilled. Yesterday she baked a fat hen and made some dressing for me to feed my ''family'' [ 2 labs ] a ''Thanksgiving'' dinner before heading over to her place. I will bring all the scraps home for them also--- nice Thanksgiving for this household. I will bring her also and we will catch a cruise ship out of New Orleans Saturday for a 5 day cruise--- life goes on. |

I am. Worked all last night. GF's still asleep and when she wakes up she's going to her family's. I've been trying to get ahold of my parents, but no word from them, hopefully they're ok. So just me, the dog (who likes me), and the idiot cats. At least I don't really have to cook on my only day off.
Here's to lonely holidays and no food in the fridge! |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile View Quote Chinese places around here don't stay open on holidays anymore. It used to be my holiday staple when I first got my own place. Now my only options are walmart or denny's I believe. |

I'm spending it work, and I'm bring in a turkey dinner to serve with the coworkers and anybody else stuck on site for thanksgiving. And then I come home and crawl into bed and wake up and go do it again tomorrow.
yay for the single life! |

I can't imagine how much a loss like that must hurt around the holidays. Glad to hear you've got someone new in your life to be with today. |

Me too.
Been sick for way too long, family too far away. Watching some dogs I'm watching play in my backyard. Pneumonia sucks ass. I'd say maybe next year, but I'll be deployed. |

Definitely no family thanksgiving for me today. Dad went out of town to be with family, which is good. Mom didn't answer my calls, went over there and heard the dog barking, but nobody answered the door. Started to worry after 10 minutes, couldn't see any signs of life, so I tried to get the door open, at which point she looked out the window but didn't seem to recognize me. At least she's alive I guess. Maybe she just couldn't see me. She's pretty crazy, maybe legitimately crazy now. Hard to watch a parent lose their faculties like that.

I'm currently working in Newfoundland which does not celebrate American thanksgiving. It's just a normal week of work for me. Will be my first thanksgiving not spent with my family. No big deal though, I knew this when I took the job.

Some of my loved ones are.
I spent it with some good company, but it's the 3rd one in a row I've celebrated in Afghanistan. Generally a good day and plenty for which to be thankful, but not exactly ideal. |

I found out late last night that my range was open this morning, so I went shooting first thing this morning. Went by Walmart on the way home to do some Christmas shopping, which included 600 rounds of 9mm for me.
I woke up at 5:30 this morning which was stupid for a holiday, and even more stupid since I don't get up that hour on a weekday! I did some online Christmas shopping and got some good deals. I'm now having some snacks and running the dishwasher before I start to make my apple crisp for today. |

You all that will be alone are forgetting to give a shout out to porn...microwave dinner, beer, cleaning guns, and porn. I don't want my dick to smell like Hoppes. That's why you need to try FrogLube! This chick likes the minty smell. Much more pleasant than Hoppes. Speaking of which, I have to clean my pistols after shooting them today. |

I'm at work. My brother decided to no show all week so all the burden is on me to get these jobs done.
