I'm glad to find this group; otherwise, I never mention my TG plans, or lack thereof. The worst part is always other people's pity.

Enjoyable and peaceful TG to all.

It's surprising how often we find things in common.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jane!

That way those of us who love people but enjoy cyber company more than the other kind, can always find someone to share time with. We're not concerned about intruding or being intruded upon. My ideal percentage of face time is probably half an hour max per day, and I'm just as content when it's less. I think it's partly because my working years were so hectic and stressful that now I enjoy thinking of others and visiting online, maybe even on the phone a bit now and then; but if I don't see anyone face to face for a few days, it doesn't bother me. I used to volunteer a lot when younger, but there's precious little to do here. I started helping at the food bank once, but even there people fought among themselves so much it left a bad taste in my mouth. So now I stay home with my dogs and computer as much as possible. There's always plenty to do, especially in warm weather.
