PENG User ID: 1159762 United States 11/21/2012 09:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My heart is breaking to see my friends and family. I'll never wish for that again. . Same here. Estranged from my violent crazy family and it time realised we all have a specific gene mutation or two. They weren't the way they were out of badness. They tried hard to be good with some serious challenges. I wish we could all be around the same table again. I wish I could have helped them more. I wish I had been more patient and more assertive with them. No one really wishes to be alone--to slip off and sit quietly--sneak off to the movies or to a nearly empty coffeehouse--but not to be really alone. Its OK though. I've got a choice of movies I want to see. I'll go for a drive and feel like I'm going "somewhere". I've got a pie pumpkin and spices. Maybe Saturday if money holds out I'l go to dinner alone where a friend used to take me for holidays until we realised it was just too tragic. That's very sad. Sometimes there are people who create so much pain, and continue to do so, without regard to all of the people they hurt. Those kind of people make these holidays dreadful. I choose not to be around them at all. I would go serve dinner at must ministries or someplace for thanksgiving. We don't have to be alone, and sometimes being around those who need company also, is worlds better than being with family. "May the road rise up to meet you.... May the wind be always at your back..." |

KungPowMeowMeow User ID: 27358318 United States 11/21/2012 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll be alone and working out of town, so a hotel room and maybe mcdonald's. It gets a little depressing. Quoting: KungPowMeowMeow People who are concerned about you salute you in your absence, and toast your dedication to your profession. If America had more people like you, we wouldn't be in this deep shit we're in. Aww, well thanks but my family won't be saluting me, they all think I'm an underachiever for what I do. Being a flight attendant isn't THAT glamorous anymore. lol. Being alone for holidays is part of the price I pay for doing what I enjoy. Luckily I have a good crew with me. Passengers are much nicer to us on the actual holiday, which is a nice bonus. Before and after its dog eat dog for sure! Cheers "Fortune, honour, beauty, youth are but blossoms dying.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15447489 Cleared out the muck. The best thing any compassionate, sensible human can do is get to know oneself, share your home/life with an animal, and respect and appreciate nature. right on, living on a sailboat at anchor and yeah, a thanksgiving alone but good to hear from others alike. great idea for a thread op. here's to a good day to all |

Great place to meet great people!!! No, I wouldn't dream of taking a meal away from someone who is less fortunate than me and may be hungry. I have the means to feed myself, its just the togetherness with my family I will miss. "Fortune, honour, beauty, youth are but blossoms dying.

Citizenperth User ID: 28245131 Australia 11/21/2012 09:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder how many people will commit suicide tomorrow? Suicide numbers spike during the holidays you know. Alot of lonely people out there. There lives are a living hell. Death will end the pain. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23766809 we are so used to noise and company...... here is something worth exploring..... if you are alone on a holiday.. take yourself where other people are.... not to engage, but simply to observe... feeling other people around you is a quick sure fire way not to be alone :) Last Edited by CitizenPerth™ on 11/21/2012 09:45 PM It's life as we know it, but only just.
