(62,530 posts)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.

(62,530 posts)and if you were homeless you would also know that if you don't get to the "free" dinner in time, you don't get any.
I know of what I speak.
Don't get me wrong, I see this guys point, I stated that in the headline of my first post, but not everything is black and white.
