If you're not a writer and just wanna talk Halloween, I'm in 100%. I freakin live for Halloween. HMU on my Halloween thread and let's discuss candy and spooky things.

and not related to Halloween---- Thank you to EVERYONE who reached out to me during Hurricane Laura and the aftermath. I am so lucky that I still have my home and that I only went 9 days with no electricity and utilities.That was the most scared I've ever been in my entire life. It was still a Cat 3 when it got to my house and it was honestly like being inside of a tornado for 8 hours straight. Many people in Louisiana are homeless and living in 3rd world country conditions. Please don't forget about Louisiana. I love all of you. We have the BEST community. THANK YOU.

Ok, I've posted this one before, but I'm a sucker for love songs and this one has been my 2020 favorite because THE WORLD IS ENDING. Don't tell @FUNKbrs I posted a love song, since he doesn't believe in love. Oh snap, I tagged him. Too late. FUNKBRS I KNOW YOU HAVE A WIFE BUT PLEASE ENTER MY WRITING CONTEST THANKS.

.... let's go out with a bang

I'm ready. I aint even gonna lie.

They'd better not eff it up!

...is the best damn show ever, fight me.

I have a family member who is blind now.

It's his fault, so it's a little frustrating. We knew he had diabetes. We'd been telling him, "You have diabetes idiot." He refused to go to a doctor--- hadn't been to see one in literally 15 years---- refused to admit he was going blind! Totaled his truck. At the ER they were like , "Yeah your blood sugar is like 500, that's why you can't see." And we just shook our heads because we'd been BEGGING him to see a fuckin doctor.

Anyway he's had multiple eye surgeries and his diabetes is now controlled but it's too late.

He can see light and blurry color but that's it.

Can't read. Can't drive. Can't work anymore. Can't watch TV. Walks into walls and people and such.

I had an ex with a blind dad so I know a lot about the things out there for blind people.

We're getting him a new phone with vision impairment accommodations and a new computer with those accomodation programs as well.

He won't do a cane--- but he needs one!

I might look into a seeing eye dog.

You guys know anyone who's blind? What do they use/need daily?

So as a Louisiana resident, I'm surrounded by rednecks who have refused to take any of this seriously and it got way out of control down here. You don't have to live in fear, but maybe cancel the crawfish boils and stop bringing all 6 kids to Walmart every single day?

We have a huge number of cases for such a small state, population wise/per capita, and same for deaths.

I personally know probably 100 people who have had it. I personally know about 10 who have died, a few of whom I was pretty close to.

We couldn't have funerals for them, no more than 10 people---- it's bleak.

So ASIDE from that awful mess------- What has Coronavirus messed up for YOU, personally?

For me, it was my second job.

I had a pretty sweet part time gig. A few times a year they'd fly me out to random cities to teach in-services/give classes/go to other trainings myself.

I love traveling. I got to go to Kansas, Illinois, Virginia, back up north to Massachusetts, Delaware.

Not only has all of that been canceled but the company for which I was working is founded on communication and doing things in groups--- this might put them under. I may never get that back.

So far I'm allowed to work at home for my full time job, which I'm hoping continues until we can go back to our physical building. I have pretty good job security but I know many people are in a tough spot now.

So what about you guys? Anyone out of work? Come have some coffee and unload your drama. Canceled ceremonial/trips? Any bitching allowed.
