drown my sorrows in fried Cajun Turkey.  I fucking hate you Eatzi's.  
I really, really do.

Holy crap.  That's awful, Ellie.

the first post-divorce nuclear melt down, which played a little 
something like this:  Act I:  Five hour car ride from Mom's to 
Dad's.  Act II:  Dad throws frozen turkey into the street at Mom, who 
burns rubber back to her lonely singleton Thanksgiving.  The turkey 
skids into the gutter where it sits moldering for days.  (I never did 
find out how long it sat there.)  Act III:  Thanksgiving at the local 
Jack in the Box--but not in the warm, posh inside of 
the "restaurant," oh no.  It was drive-through for us.  They get 
awfully snobby about grown men crying and chain smoking inside of 
those places.  Bloody righteous prats.

We're going out of town to Lisa's parents' house for T-day, so if you 
decide you want to avoid all human contact instead, feel free to come 
to our house, turn off all the lights, and hide under the bed.

If not, here are some hugs to help you get through.
