I am....just like nearly every holiday. I get off work at 5am, and I plan to grab a couple Redbox movies and a newspaper. Thanksgiving will be spent watching movies, cleaning guns from the last range trip in April, and looking through the BF ads. Food will probably be Ramen noodles or some Chunky soup...maybe some nachos if I feel up to it...
Just me and the dog (who doesn't like me) |
|
Yeah, we just did this yesterday. I cooked a chicken.
For me and a dog. |

OP, consider at least half the folks at family gatherings will be miserable. |
|
at the very minimum, if thanksgiving means the slightest iota to you, you should spring for a nicer dinner. it doesnt have to be 10/10 on the arf scale but something nice and you enjoy.

Yes and no.
I'll spend the day contemplating who I will gift NRA memberships. Then, I will gift them. I will do what I can to improve the shooting community. It will be a difficult choice. A lot of good people answered my offer. So, I say to you, OP, take somebody to the range. It won't be on Thanksgiving, but it will be close enough. That's what you do with your holiday. Give somebody the gift of Second Amendment freedom. If it's a girl, you better post pictures. |

Perfect day for me to get some work done that would not normally get done. Got a scheduled shutdown at a hospital just for me to do some work there.
While you lazy Americans are stuffing your fat bellies with turkey, I'll be out working How else can I be expected to live the "American Dream".......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s |

You went shooting last April and are just now cleaning your firearms? |

Not just Thanksgiving, any day.
I draw comfort by throwing myself into my work, so my days off are the worst spots. |
|
Jeanie-O turkey and instant taters...that's what you should eat.
|
|
Wife is with her godparents for Thanksgiving.
I'll be sleeping after work. Maybe grill some dirty cheeseburgers. |
|
Going to make something on the grill here, then some netflix and go to sleep
|
|
Just two here might as well be solo, double the cooking one for me sides and other for a diet limited person.
Turkey got done not long ago, sides tomorrow and just pick and graze as we see fit. |

Being alone on holidays sucks, and I hope you find some friends to hang with. Dogs are great though, sure miss my 14 yr old lab that I had to put down this past summer. That dog was totally loyal and always happy to see me, of course we had a friendship based on me providing his food, but it worked.

What the hell is wrong with you not cleaning your guns...get your shit together. For Thanksgiving....go big...its only one day...get something other than ramen noodles. Plus, you got a dog...treat him as well. |

I'll be working alone 1530-2330. Girlfriend is bringing me dinner though so I guess we'll get to hang out a bit. |
|
I'll be stuck on a housing unit watching over 50+ inmates for 8-16 hours(depending on how many wonderful state employees get 'sick') on Thanksgiving if that counts... Hell I'd rather be alone.

Wife is currently at Ft. Jackson for BCT, so its just me, the dog, case of beer, 2 steaks and thousands of rounds of ammo to shoot at the steel gong off the back porch tomorrow.
|

Must be nice to be in the US for the holidays and not living in a tent in Africa.
|

There is a guy living in a box under a bridge and it's -10. Best part is it's not me.

Spending it alone here...small turkey breast, stuffing, yams, etc...for me and the dog.
Remaining family is on the other side of the country...Someone did call yesterday with an invite to their house for T-day, but honestly I rather like going solo on this day. Will probably catch up chores, watch some tv (twilight zone marathon on today maybe ?), and finish setting up my XL650 I bought two months ago. |

However, OP is so miserable, he wins. |

I am thankful for this thread, which reminds me that no matter how bad things might be...I am not OP.
|

You all that will be alone are forgetting to give a shout out to porn...microwave dinner, beer, cleaning guns, and porn.

Put some taters and gravy next to it and canned green beans. But do SOMEthing that requires even a little more effort than ramen! |

I'm 700 miles from home working a shutdown. I'm guessing that there should be a Chinese food joint open although.

Done it many times myself and I actually prefer it. I throw a frozen pizza in the oven and enjoy the day alone getting things done around the house(and getting paid, holiday ya know). Beats the hell out of spending a few days driving across the country to visit family or visiting friends and having to deal with their goofy over the top thanksgiving spirit families.
