Y'know, we're so clingy with our avatars. Have we ever asked what they want? Maybe they just went for a walk. Or maybe they want to escape from the neverending struggle. Let them go. Who needs avatars anyway?

I don't have the energy to make an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner, but I will miss some of the meals I'll be skimping out on. And I hate canned cranberry sauce, I just don't feel up to making my homemade version. And I don't know if anyone will be willing to give a plate of food. Is there still a way I can regain some of the Thanksgiving meal goodness I'm used to?

Draw yourself an old-fashioned hand turkey like you used to as a kid, and just use your imagination to convince yourself that turkey has always had a bit of a paper-and-crayon taste to it.

I'd really like to write something for the upcoming Issue 1000 for the Neopian Times, but coming up with an idea and writing it out in less than two months is a bit of a daunting task - especially as someone that can never seem to complete things in a timely manner. How can I get the creative juices flowing and the motivation worked up?

I say, hire a ghost writer. Have them do all the writing while you and I play badminton!
Just be careful you monitor the ghost; they are known to plagiarize ideas.

Get a big, high-interest loan so you can buy them all and have everything you want. Debt isn't real, but Christmas presents sure are!

Find a secluded, less-traveled place and bury it. No, not your backyard, everyone will think to look there, especially now that you told the internet you're securing money. Just create a list of clues that will tell you how to find it if you forget! Try to keep them vague, so that if anyone finds the map, they will have trouble following your clues. Then hide the clues in various places, including the very first clue. Safe and secure!

There are places that need to be open on Sunday that are not open on Sunday. What can I do to ensure this place's expansion of operating hours?

Do whatever it takes to get to the highest level of government. Engineer fake news, bribe people etc. Once you're at the very top, pass a law to make it illegal for places to not be open on Sunday.

I feel disconnected from my professors and friends. I attend events and lectures when they are available on Zoom and try to go to campus when I can, but it's a 3-5 hour round trip each time. I can't comfortably afford to live there at this time. What do?

Home-schooling is always an option! See if you can get a prof. to come to your home, and they can teach you there. See if you can make your friends join you; bribe them with pumpkins tickets if needed.

Move to the southern hemisphere for the upcoming season. Sure, depending on the elevation you stay at you may still have snow, but it'll be in summer, not winter! Problem solved!

How can I stop doing all the side-quests in this video game and instead focus on the main quest?

Either skip the side quests, or order someone else to do them for you. And nothing beats sending a strongly-worded letter to to the game manufactures, demanding they remove all the side quests else they want to keep their houses. *** My beloved and most sought-after Party Candle Tact is still on sale!

With the tact of a party candle! Burst at the seams and yell and scream about it until you get what you want.

Gather everything you have. Everything. If it's not enough, borrow other peoples' things too. Then set up a display. Then get the somebody in question and bring them to your presentation of your dazzling display! Go over everything you have! That way it'll stand out to that somebody just how much that thing you asked for is missing from this otherwise perfect collection! Be sure to drive the point home at the end too. Then they'll know that it is up to them to complete the pile and make this truly the perfect collection.

I want to go somewhere very far very quickly, but I don't want to take any of the time to do it, nor deal with the hassle of plane security, and teleportation has not been invented yet. What's the best way to accomplish this goal?

Use your computer device and watch one of those "touring city" videos. Then you can imagine yourself being far away for free!

Write an extensive report on the benefits of retail therapy and how indulging in hobbies can have incredibly positive effects to one's mental health... and then perform it to her in song.

Agh! It's snowing again, and the temperature has dropped into the negatives. My window is leaking in frigid cold air. I am currently wearing three sweaters, and I'm still cold. What should I do??
