@vahnj @green I am glad I have a box of these on hand and it sounds like that's a good idea for you folks, too. :( - 3M 8511PB1-A-PS Particulate N95 Respirator with Valve, 10-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YKBV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ciTRzb9QZ2V5Y
@Jacel ...the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

depression, anxiety
I will miss @Jacel very badly while sie isn't here, I always do, but the fundamentally unaddressed depression is what scares me the most.
depression, anxiety
The thing that upsets me most about @Jacel having to go back to Wales is that I know sie doesn't get the kind of social contact sie needs there, and I feel powerless to do anything about it. Depression has been rough on both of us and there's so much less I can do to help

@vahnj Next up, open-source federated Reddit. If this is Mastodon, I guess the Reddit-alike would be Smilodon.
@indi Although I was also disappointed when we moved from the bowling alley with colorful lighting to the one with plain lighting. My father had a very good reason, though - he had found a bowling alley that was willing to ban smoking in half the facility, permanently, just for us- reducing my asthma problems. They later banned smoking entirely after they discovered how many people the non-smoking section was drawing in.
@indi I remember the automatic pinsetters (which required manual intervention about every third game), the lights over the lane showing which pins were up and tracking frames and balls (with the correct tenth frame strike/spare rule handling), and paper scoresheets, although they eventually went to computerized scoring - which was disappointing to 8-year-old me, I liked the lights indicating pins!
