In response to "48 hr media prompt. 10/30/25"

This reminds me of a news story in my neck of the woods in the last couple years about a guy who went trick-or-treating for the first time in his early 30s. He actually had lots of fun while going from house to house. I personally don't think there should be an age limit on trick-or-treating, myself. Social norms are bizarre things to try to change, though.

Thanks everyone. My wife appreciates all the cares and comments. Maybe I'll be able to convince her to come hang here with us rather than on Facebook with her mom.

If that's an attempt at humour, it failed miserably.

Wow, what a wicked thing for her to do to her own child.

This is a safe place to vent. I can only imagine how upsetting this must be for you both.

In response to "Bad times"

I hear you. Went through my own anniversaries of those lost last month and it knocked me out for two weeks straight before I could get my head around writing again.

Don't let guilt be one of the emotions. We feel what we feel. We remember, usually not when we'd like to, and often times, at the worst possible time.

I filled my time with memories- as many good ones as I could pack into my quiet time. I focused on watching the birds at the feeder outside my office window. Did the bare minimum at work. Tried to enjoy time with friends.

Eventually, it passed.

I've found that sometimes talking to them helps, even though they can't hear. Do the things that give you joy and peace, and most of all, forgive yourself for whatever wasn't done, wasn't said, or conversely, was. Let lavender winds ease your pain and remember, we're all here if you need us.

PROMPT November 13th

A Science-Fiction type prompt tonight. In your world, all citizens are temporarily neutered at birth. When you want to become a parent, you must prove to the government that you’ll be suitable caretakers and providers before you are allowed to procreate. How do you 'prove to the government' that you'll be a good caretaker/parent.

Of course, I would have a stock portfolio to show, and my selection of a financially prepared parenting partner would a point in my corner. I would offer up my extensive parenting certifications earned yearly since puberty. My house would be pre-baby proofed and up to the strictest of building and safety codes. In short, every aspect of my life would be certified from every angle to show my preparedness.
