Post here and whine if you are alone on the site!

I have to admit I couldn't cope with being alone at Christmas. I'd even be pissed off if nobody celebrated my birthday with me

I've been alone at Christmas a few times, when I studied at the uni. I liked it. Nice and quiet, and no musts.

I was all alone on my birthday. No one got me a thing.

That's mean. Your foster mum could have made a bit of an effort.

It could have been much worse.

I'm sure this is bad advice, but if I was in your position in USA on Thanksgiving with nothing to do, I'd have a huge junkfood, alcohol, and porn blowout. Get so off your face that you don't even know it's Thanksgiving.

Legal drinking age in the U.S. is 21, Duke is only 19, so he can't get alcohol.  

Do Americans actually pay attention to the legal drinking age? I'm not even sure what the legal age is here. I think it's 17 or 18, but I've been going out and drinking from I was 11, and so have most people that I know.

Well, with a fake ID, a lenient storekeeper, or an older friend willing to buy the alcohol, a minor *can* get it,
but most stores and do check ID, as they could get in trouble for selling to the underaged!  

OMG, that is cruel. We always knew of a shop that would sell to kids, and if we couldn't use it, we'd just get an older person to go in and buy it for us.

Never had to worry about fake IDs here.

21 is way too old to be the minimum age to buy booze anyway. It shouldn't be any higher than 18. I still wouldn't even be legal in USA

Land of the free. My fecking arse

It does seem odd that kids in this country can drive at 16, vote and join the military at 18, yet not be able to drink till 21.   


Of course, plenty of under-21s do get alcohol anyway, so don't feel too  bad! 

It's weird. Most countries have their inconsistencies, though.

I'm alone today and enjoying the peace and privacy of my apartment. I don't have to work again till tomorrow evening,
I have plenty of food (but of course!    ) and I have my INTENSE online buddies to help me pass the time.

I'm alone now! What the hell!

Damn, it's freezing Balls of Steel (TM) in my apartment! The built in heaters are worthless at keeping this place even remotely warm, it's like 30 degrees Fahrenheit outside.

Are the heaters actually working? Maybe something needs to be repaired.

Yes, they seem to be working properly. They just suck.

Do you have baseboard heat? Those radiators along the bottom of the walls? I have those too.

Yeah, I guess. I'm thinking of buying a heater with balls (and a fan perhaps).

Just be careful, some of those space heaters can start fires.

The fact that people could join the military and even be drafted at 18 was part of the rationale for letting them first vote and then buy and consume alcohol (in some states) at 18 as well, but the law for drinking age wound up getting changed in all states to 21 in 1984, I think because MADD pressured the federal government to use the federal highway funds as a carrot and/or stick to get all the states to comply.
