Snow tubing? Wow.... I'm sorry I'm not there for that. :-)

Great idea! Wouldn't that be fun! :-)

I will be doing a dog sitting gig in Vallejo, but on T-day will come back to my house for the whole turkey dressing etc with Isa and Hawk (housemates and family of choice). But that will be just a couple of hours.

I think hanging out in the Planet's chat room would be good. That way any other orphans would have folks to chat with also.........

edited to ad: someone could at least keep a window open in chat and invite anyone else to hang with Skype/Yahoo if you wanted too.......shrug....

I've done that in the past, and it's a good thing. I hope you find something good, and please join us if you don't.

Cheer? Who said anything about cheer? ;-)

Hi Hollylane...I have also decided to do some volunteering over Thanksgiving...in the true spirit of the holiday :) There are plenty of places that would love to have you help out!

Toughy, that's a great idea accessing the chat room and opening up to a call.

i only have my phone.
No chat room for me.
Eldercare is kind of like a holiday every day-- food, naps, card games, not going anywhere, talking about the good old days. :tea:

Thank you all.
 

Let's touch base before Thanksgiving. :-)

No chat for me,it goes to fast.

I hear you, Rockinahigh. Maybe some of us can post a "hello" here for those who don't want to chat or talk or are working.

Checking in
 

I will be volunteering tomorrow afternoon as a greeter at a free community dinner, but I will check in tomorrow morning and evening and see who's around.

I hope it's a wonderful day, and I look forward to saying "hello" to folks tomorrow and seeing how your day is going. :-)

Well, how did you all do today? I hope you found something to make you smile. Maybe this'll make you smile as well. Sometimes there are worse things than being alone on a holiday!

I spent today with my dog at a nursing home. He is a "visitor" dog. This feels good, but I do miss some of the traditional things about the holidays of past.

For Christmas, I will probably some other kind of volunteer activity- as soon as my dog is all the way through training and fully certified, I can take him to children's hospitals. But not this year.

I would be interested in doing a conference call with folks from the Planet on Christmas day- LOL, someone will have to tell me how the do do one, but, it would be fun to yak with some folks from here!!

Hey all,how r u doing?Today I had some unexpected company that over stayed theire wellcome,corse I was a nice peron while they were hear.I watched the Macys parade like I do every year,took a nap,palyed with the fur kid.My son spent the day playing internet games..I have no ideal how any body can sit in one place that long,cant do it.

Happy Turkey Day to all
I went across the street to my favorite neighbor's home. They always invite me and I feel like family there. So I pigged out, visited with several people and headed home to watch the 49ers game. The dog and I fell asleep in the recliner. Just thought I'de check in here and say hi.

I'm glad folks found some good stuff to get into today, and thank you for stopping by. Here's to faraway friends and family on the holidays, even if we prefer them that way. :groucho: lol

May be away from my family for xmas too. I don't know yet. I guess that's the price I pay for moving away and trying to find my happiness and life. My daughter wants me to come see her but have to see if time and finances allows and when. I know I want to see her again soon and I will as soon as I can. If it's not for xmas we will have our own little xmas when it happens.
