First small costumed beings at 5:30.
Could be a busy night
#Halloween
👻

@TheNewsOwl first thing I noticed when I went on yesterday, was a celebration that "the pronoun people" were leaving.

That place is going to be an abhorrent wasteland of hate and violent threats, within a month (at least before hairplugs took it over, those posts got bans)

As I won't infect the trick or treaters, I think it will be a Friday the 13th PT 4 at full volume while they loot the candy bowl, night

@Sundae_Gurl you running out of eggs and TP???

Just removed a very good friend from all SM. Two of her kids tested positive last week.
She threw up pics of herself out for a birthday party at a packed bar/theater, on the weekend... Not even masked.
I will NOT have those people in my life. Selfish, ignorant and sociopathic cruelty.
(AND SHE'S A LC sufferer!)

@frankp that is one thing I have NOT noticed... I curated and constantly blocked/deleted followers like that... The only decline in numbers there for me, are those who fully deactivated their accounts

@LAHolloway people can't comprehend that the world isn't just what their little bubble of comfort, creates.

@lisamflower I forgot to count my stuff when I opened it, but I seem to have the same issue. How dare they say there are 100 in a box when it's only 80...sorry, 79.... Sorry, 78...

@LAHolloway hahahaha I have had to delete a few replies that I was about to send, and just swipe the app closed.
I have locked my acct and only have it open still, for the few good folks there that haven't left. I will NOT engage with the morons anymore ;)

Had to step away from Teams...
Was having a conversation with one of our sales guys regarding my loss of smell and taste this weekend, and he replied with "it's just a cold, you'll be fine."
If I'd pressed enter on my reply, I expect a call from the boss would have followed.
This is the guy I'm putting in front of perspective clients, and he's finally exposed that he's a hoaxer...
I can't, in good faith, inflict that on somebody!

@freakinbox do the greybeards cough to get your attention in this one?

@MochiBall tell her it has to be a trial for a couple of days...
Or, perhaps take her to a shelter and let her pick out a puppy (or a young dog as training may be too much for her right now) that you can adopt for her?

@MochiBall has he spent much time at their house?
If not, you could be correct about the "abandonment" concerns. But if he's accustomed to her and the environment it shouldn't be a big issue

@ianmhill I write the word "mask" on my face and there's never a more terrifying thing to behold.

@Madken65 that's likely the choice I'll make. I have spent 2.5 years calling people idiots for doing things while symptomatic, and recently for believing the "you can work 5 days later" garbage... I'd be a massive hypocrite to risk it just because I love seeing the work some kids/parents put into costumes

Question... If I've lost smell and taste, but otherwise seem to have finally kicked the other symptoms... Do I hand out candy tonight (in a mask just in case) or put out a bowl?
#Halloween

@nOOb that's likely where I'll try to start.

@nOOb lol you haven't tried to talk to a doctor in Alberta :(

@nOOb that's my concern... If this were 2 months ago, I wouldn't care. I could remain mostly isolated until I could boost.
That's not so much of an option at Christmas time

@SamaraR and that's the problem. The new variants can re-infect in a month (less, according to one report I saw a couple of weeks ago)...
I can't think that 2 infections in 2 months with the last shot 10 months ago can be remotely safe
