Reply to How can I find when the power will be back? by porklomeinnoveg

I made a comment previously that my coworkers had the news on in the background and I thought I heard that eversource would not be able to get power to some areas for potentially a few weeks. I was really hoping I heard wrong but it's starting to seem true with the complaints I've been seeing. I really hope you and your family stay safe and warm out there. Eversource is able to shut off power this year even during winter. It's just disgusting.

No worries at all. Texting is awful for serious conversations with strangers, haha. I know there wasn't any ill intent. And I do sincerely apologize for my ignorance on Robin's suicide. You are 100% in the right for calling it out. I'm glad I know what really happened now.

I knew he had Lewy Body Dementia but was unaware that it was the main reason for his suicide. Depression was only a small part as explained from his wife. The very first thing that pops up for his suicide was how he was suffering from major depression. I do not dig deep into celebrities lives like that so that's just what I knew. Probably what a lot of people know because it's an instant Google search headline. Instead of telling people to just be accurate, maybe go with, "Hey. It actually wasn't mainly depression. They did an interview with his wife and here's what really happened if you're interested in checking it out." Followed with a link to back up the statement and/or claim. The guardian was the only source (that I saw within the first 5 links) that had that interview with his wife. Being rude deters people from listening. I know that probably wasn't your intent, but that's just how it came off as. Also, my story wasn't for the cause, it was just me sharing my experience. Thank you for the insight, though. I genuinely appreciate it.

I never understood how people could cry for celebrities that they didn't even know in person. Sad, sure. But to cry, I thought was crazy. Until Robin Williams passed. I teared up when I found out. Then when Chester passed, I just got done playing a few LP songs. Then I quietly wept in my car. Such good people to lose to depression after they had helped me get out of my own so many times. Will always miss them.

Edit: As corrected: Depression was not the main reason for Robin Williams suicide. While it did play a very small part, it was mainly due to his condition, Lewy Body Dementia.

Reply to What could be causing allergies now? by eresho

I'm actually going through the same thing. It initially felt like a cold but the next day, I'm just congested with less coughing. Probably all the leaves hitting the ground for fall time. Kicking up dust and pollen and whatnot.
