  • Thanksgiving

    From Sean Dennis@CAPCITY2 to All on Wed Nov 20 14:30:45 2024
    Hi everyone,

    So I'll be spending Thanksgiving alone and I wanted to buy some turkey loaf.

    At Walmart, they wanted USD$15+ for 2.82 pounds (1.28 kg) of turkey loaf.

    Looks like I'll just buy some lasagna instead...or maybe a ham.

    What a ripoff.

    Sean, I remember a local meat company advertisement showed a Turkey saying PLEASE BUY their brand of Ham for Thanksgiving.

    Yeah Turkey is insane.

    Only trump could afford ham here.

    I'll probably just buy some ham. Spendy but very, very tasty.

    I'll be alone this Thanksgiving so I won't need much food.

    I can get a frozen "family size" Stouffer's lasagna for under USD$10. I'll just go for that. I can make four meal out of it.

    If I had a car, I'd go volunteer at a local soup kitchen on Thanksgiving to help out. It's lonely enough as it is and over the holidays, the loneliness
    is just that much more acute.
