sigh. much of what you say applies to many of us... big sigh. and most of the restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving.. and only serve fake turkey if they are open.... but the local BBQ place will be open guess I'll eat there...

Have you checked with your local church? Or what about the local rescue mission? They often serve a special meal for the homeless... and it would do you good to help there too, plus get a free meal.. not be lonely... it's quite an experience...

just a thought.
