Be The Squirrel!

 

I want to tell you about my attic. There is a lot of noise coming from there. It's a good thing we have insurance for that! They will help me out--we have an animal! A real live wire!

Happy October Days Are Here!

The Great Pumpkin's cousins are HUNGRY!!!

It's October once again, you boys and girls out there! I found some really cool pictures of candles for Halloween, or whenever you want to be cool in a Goth sort of way. I'm trying not to think about candy!

If it's safety you are looking for, here are some LED flameless candles, which are especially nice for those with pets or children or if you are very clumsy!

This witch may be coming for you on Halloween!

Made for the younger set, believe it or not! Bobbing for apples, anyone?

Here is another cool bat themed Halloween decoration, or for anytime if you are into the spooky supernatural Goth stuff, love binging on horror films, whatever, or if you are just batty! Maybe bats are your spirit animal! What have you! It's a tea light candle holder.

This bat is gonna fly!
 

Anyone else reminded of a great movie series, about a certain magical school, when they see this hat?

What dorm do you belong in? Ravenclaw or Gryffindor?

I want to be with the good guys, but also learn a lot! How can a hat tell you? ha ha

These skulls mean business! They are scary looking, big time! Perfect for Halloween!

These guys can talk with one another, and have a good time!

 

A red skull looks somewhat menacing! Brilliant idea!

 

The one below is rated really high on the scale of menacing and mischievous! The 'Creepy Candle' literally looks like a real hand, which 'bleeds' as it melts, to reveal a skeleton hand sculpture!

Great for Halloween parties, if you dare!

This bat candle looks so lifelike that people will literally scream when they see it in your home!

You might want to keep it under wraps! Fear factor!

If you want something sweet, there's nothing like the smell of candy corn! With no calories, though!

This candle's too cute to be scary! Trick or Treat!

 

I hope you like my Halloween decor candle collection blog! Have a great month of October!

Nursing Home Residents Killed By Antivax Healthcare Workers

Lambert House Adult Day Center (not in article, in Oregon)

     I read this article about a nursing home in Montana, where nine residents vaccinated against Covid-19 died of the virus. Why did they die? They were vaccinated! They died, because even though they were vaccinated, there was a viral outbreak in their care center, with so many people passing it around that their new antibodies were not enough to fight against the ever increasing viral load of the virus in their systems. What would cause this kind of outbreak there, anyway? People are blaming the new law in Montana that makes it a crime to discriminate against anyone who is unvaccinated, and that includes nursing home employees, hospital workers, doctors and nurses. This new law unfairly discriminates against the elderly and the disabled and is a direct violation of the American Disabilies Act, which calls for inclusion of the disabled and makes punishable discrimatory practices that lower the quality of life of disabled people. The people that died were not treated as important as the workers who cared for them, ultimately causing them to lose their lives over the silly whims of the workers, who shouldn't be in the health care field if they don't want to prioritize other people's health as important enough to get a vaccine that can safeguard others!

Never Stop Learning! And Our Walk Out In The Woods

 

I am always learning. I read a lot, and I have begun taking online courses for free. But those online courses aren't all that good, at least so far that I have seen. I will alert you if I find any good ones, any really good ones! But mainly, they are sort of weird, I mean, really weird! They are so weird that I don't recommend the vast majority of them, at least on that one site I told you about, on Alison. Those courses lack any sort of uniformity. Usually, in a real course, online, probably, you can expect a mix of video presentations and written text-based lessons, bundled together with quizzes and final tests. But these, you don't know what to expect, because the creators were allowed to do whatever they wanted to do! They don't even tell you, in the description, if it will feature just videos, just text, or a mix of the two. You have no idea, before you click on the course. And what's the most weird, is that you are enrolled as soon as you click on it, the default is that you enroll. If you don't like it, you can disenroll. But anyway, I digress. Always be learning! I like to learn! Learning helps you in your life, in how good you are, at whatever you do!

Now, I went on a walk with Haven, a week ago, and I've been meaning to tell about it. When we went out, it was a very foggy morning. It looked sort of like how it looks in this picture:

 "The heart of another is a dark forest."

_Gloria Vanderbilt

As the day progressed, the fog made way for a sunny day, but it took its sweet time! In the meantime, it was slightly spooky! I like how its kind of hushed out in the forest, in the fog. In Portland, we get a lot of fog in fall and winter. It's very atmospheric! It helps me get into Halloween: the decorating and watching horror films with Haven. Anyway, the walk! It was so nice. We had been apart for a long time, and this was our first time hanging out since this whole Covid thing started up all around us. For one, she is a nurse, so she has to be super cautious because of that. For another, I do too, because I live with my parents now, and they are older, they had me older in their lives than most parents do starting out. They had wanted to wait, and didn't mean to wait as long as they did, but now they're elderly! Anyway, so I have to be cautious as well, for them, to protect their health. Like I wanted a job, and I couldn't work at a grocery store, because that would have put their lives in danger, since I live with them now. I had a good job, but I got layed off and had to move back home, because of Covid-19. Haven and I have been Zoom calling online, to stay in touch. It's better than the phone, because we can see each other, really big, on our computers, and you can see how the other person looks, which is so important right now, when you go out and everyone is wearing masks indoors. Well, so, I was worried, but it looks like we are going to stay a couple. Yeah! I didn't know... I mean, I don't work with her, and I didn't know if she'd found someone there, that, but no! No way! Oh, I am glad! This is just going to be fine. People have to live through things sometimes that they would rather not, but it can make them stronger in the end. Haven is really worried about the Delta variant. I am too! So we held hands, until it got warmer, and we had to take our gloves off. But it was fun! I'm going to marry Haven, if I can. I don't know now. I don't work. When we made our promises to one another, I worked and she worked. Now just Haven works, and I feel bad about that, because I want to be a provider for our household. As a man, I feel it's important, to be there, financially, for your wife. I need to work! It's just bad. Bad times!

We had on our stretchy gloves, but same difference--So nice!

A Good Day For A Walk!

 

It's a good day to have a good day!

Just a short and quick blog! I'm heading out today! I'm going to see Haven! She's my girlfriend and she's a nurse. We're allowed to do that now, and I am so glad! We've both been vaccinated. It's her day off and we are going on a hike in the forest today. We live near this place called Forest Park and it is B-I-G and goes through our town. Alright, gotta go! Bye!
