I recently moved to Denver and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving alone this year, for the first time ever. My loved ones are in Iowa and I was too cheap to spend $500 on airfare to see them, so here I am. Who else out there will be spending Thanksgiving alone? What should we do for maximum enjoyment of this day that won't lead to sadness, depression, and tears?

So far I have alcohol and weed on the list and maybe a box of stove top stuffing. Anything I'm missing?!

how do i incorporate that into essays about how fascism/communism rose to power in germany and italy/russia, and how controversy over rock and metal music affected American culture?

Hey wait a minute, you guys aren't helping at all!

I stocked up at the liquor store tonight and the marijuana store last week, so I am covered on those.

My parents want to skype with me tomorrow so that will be cool and probably weird and awkward since I haven't seen their faces in four months.

maybe you can compare fascism (bad) to being a lonely idiot on thanksgiving and you can compare communism to having a fantastic thanksgiving dinner with all your family members bringing food for everyone to experience and having a great time

From experience I advise you all. For dinner you shall have 10 McDonalds Snack Wraps. For dessert you shall have 2 boxes of wine. You will wake up on Friday with a 50$ credit card charge only pointing to a suspicious looking 900 number.
