if it weren't from my own personal experience I can't say he's right either.

Many years ago, when I was homeless, I scraped together just enough money to get the 5.95 all you can eat thanksgiving day special at the local Mr. Gatti's here in Texas.

No home, no family, no friends.

I ate a hot meal in their dining room and watched a special on the dicovery channel on Tanks. LOL Yeah, it was sooooooooo much fun. not.

why didn't I go to a homeless shelter? because back then, it was like lord of the flies adult version. It was safer for me on the street.

Just my two cents.

I hated that thanksgiving.
