Oh yes and most people I know make sure they invite friends who don't have any or much family etc. as I havre been invited as well.

Trevor I didn't mean to step on your toes, but for 30 years I have known people I worked with always having family celebrations for Thanksgiving.

Hope you are doing o.k. Trevor.

Thanks, Jake.

In Canada, Thanksgiving is not really a big deal, our biggest Holiday is Christmas. Several years ago, I got fed up with feeling sorry for myself at Christmas and started organizing what I called an "Orphan's Christmas."  I call a few lonely friends and had them come over, but there was a catch;  they had to bring someone else who was also alone for Christmas. This extra guest could be a street person, someone sick (as long as not actively contagious), an acquaintance from work, or whatever. The result was many a great and memorable "Orphan" Christmas Dinner!

BTW: if we knew the background of the "extra" guest in time, we always have a small token gift.

Hi, I hope that you all had a good thanksgiving.  I know that many of you live a lone and have no family and may have had no friends to be with.  I hope you did get out, go to a diner, grab a paper, a book, or made dinner your yourself.  I know it feels lonely on a holiday.  i should have said something beforehand.  I had not been feeling well lately and not in the mood to openly tal. For some reason, today, i feel pretty good.  Anyway, sometimes it helps to volulunteer to feed the homeless on a holiday, or some think like that.  Try to plan out in advance and give yourself something to do.  Even a movie.   Or a movie and a diner!  perhaps there is a friend who is a lone.  Get togehter. A neighbor? 

So start planning on christmas!  There may be a gay youth center, HIV center.

Anyway, i put up a article in Twink wars today called: The Self-Destructive Insanity of Pro-Palestinian Gay Activists. I was wondering if any one read it.  It is some what of a trick article.  Opps, I just made it easy for you.  Now, right what is wrong, right, or what well know public person could have written it? 

It could be fun!
