Litiquette VII

[Mr_bogey]

It's been a few years since I had an occasion to dress up.

I think the only couples costume I've done was she went as Dorothy and I was the scarecrow.

I won a contest back in college going with my roommate and 2 friends as the band Culture Club. Most of the credit goes to my roomier, who, with the help of a great wig, looked just like Boy George and a couple of the women on my hall that did the make-up for us. I likely looked the least like the guy I was supposed to be (lead guitar). Everyone said I looked more like Adam Ant. Obviously, that Halloween stands out in my memory.

My most frequent costume is Little Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Last couple times I wore it, it didn't get recognized, so I stopped. Went to an Academy Awards party where we had to dress as a movie character and got asked if I was Babe (Babe Ruth movie, not the pig) and some other shit. No one got it. I'm not sure anyone there saw the movie. Made me feel stupid walking around with a jock strap and big cup over my pants and attached to suspenders with eye makeup and fake lashes on one eye while carrying a baseball bat.

I would dress up if I had the occasion but we don't really any more. I plan to give out candy, weather permitting. I'm concerned that we will be a disappointment to the kids. About 15 years ago, I decided to go "full size" candy bars. It was a big hit and I got a real kick out of seeing the kids reaction (and catching some kids coming back for 2nds)
This year, the plan is setting up a table in the front yard, place big box of candy on table w/o touching candy. Set up a fireplace, cooler and a couple chairs about 15 feet from said table and watch the kids come by. The other option was buying a remote control car and wearing gloves to handle the candy, which would be delivered to the kids by the car. I have no clue if there will be trick or treaters. If not, I'm likely going to need a better post-holiday diet.

Aussie wins.

I will now cease complaining about my third-in-a-row, less-than-delightful Halloween.


Delivery in a mask?

Jesus. (Or whatever deity or deity associated person meets your needs.)

Yeah

My last delivery was 18 hours. And I couldn't stand having a lick of clothing on me. There's no way I can imagine wearing a mask whole trying to breathe through contractions.

The sucky thing about it all is if I get transferred into hospital I'll have no choice.

This is truly my covid year. We haven't left the house since March and won't do do until next year. Everything is cancelled in Aussie's house this year.

I had a friend who gave birth earlier this year when the infection rate in my state was pushing 20%. She was scared, but she said the nurses and hospital staff were amazing. In that case, everyone came out healthy, baby and momma included.

Are you having the baby at home, or are you just going to do it in the hospital. I know you're in the US, but maybe you can sneak into New Zealand when you're about to give birth? They're doing great over there.

I'm not particularly worried about covid at this point. It definitely would suck to have viral pneumonia during those first few weeks postpartum but I don't think that'll happen.

I'm birthing at a freestanding birth center. I don't live close enough to a hospital to feel comfortable enough to birth at home considering my history. This is the best of both worlds for me

I am thankfully living in a state that has one of the lowest rates of infection per capita but it is increasing steadily.

I just saw the news about Utah needing to ration care and that made me pucker a little.

I just hope that this holiday season doesn't exacerbate everything. It's so hard to know what to do and to trust each other to do the right thing for them and their families and yet that's what we're all going to have to really do over the next 2-3 months. I'm already seeing the judgy/defensive dances play out and it's ugly. I'm honestly just so thankful to have the ability to keep me and mine safe. I'm one fortunate Aussie over here.

So, we're skipping ahead to Christmas? Halloween gets shorter and shorter shrift!


Otherwise, I cannot even imagine having to birth during the Time of Covid. Your stress must be through the roof.

< Halloween has become more of a thing here in the last decade. But it's still Guy Fawkes for me.

I've always rather viewed Guy Fawkes as England's Halloween equivalent. I mean it's in the Fall, there's still begging (candy vs penny), and people run around at night.

More fire, I suppose….

Now I'm thinking of the Wicker Man….

Effigy burning.

It's a thing.

I only wear purple pants on Halloween, I feel like that's a regular Tuesday for pmann. But I am interested.

A Pmann Tuesday.

Pmann makes all conversations.

Fuck off. I’m delightful.

I don’t typically do Halloween costumes. The last time I dressed up, I went as Homer Simpson and I was spectacular.

If I was doing another costume, I’d be Wilfred, from the TV show. Although, I don’t think a lot of people would appreciate that as people are lame and they don’t know that show very well. But it would probably be more appreciated than my slutty Handmaid’s Tale costume idea.

Those pants were worse than ISIS. AGG has the fashion sense of a west coast hippie.

Wilfred would be awesome.

And why isn't there a Halloween Grinch alternative? Or do we just call them "Australians"?

... and vaginas everywhere just dried up.

Any vagina that stays wet after a close encounter with crabs like that is just the kind pmann prefers.

Also, the kind of vagina that can't differentiate between crabs and lobsters.

Et tu, Brute? You’re probably sloshing around at the site of those pants.

First of all, I’m classy AF. If I were to have some itchy critters down under, they wouldn’t be crabs, they’d be lobsters.

Australians are anti-Halloween. They’re very lame. It’s like they hate fun.

Yeah, I’ll second this painful memory that just flashed.

You’re definitely feisty firecracker being all cooped up.

Alrighty then.
Let’s get this show started this morning.

Does hardship make a person stronger?
If so, under what conditions and at what point is it too much hardship? If not, what makes a person stronger?

Good question. Insofar as the hardship(s) question goes then yes, I do believe it makes a person stronger but more importantly it affords them experience-based wisdom.

And as to the second question that one leans more towards the adversity side because it is either stepping on the coattails of continuation or has become continuous which can go either way in continued mental strength and flexibility.

It's Halloween. Those night terrors should be freely shared.
