I have never understood the allure of outdoor formal events. Here-in the humidity capital of the US - some people try to have outdoor weddings/receptions in June - in formal wear - it is already between 80 and 90 degrees here. And buggy.

I mean maybe if you are having a beach party themed wedding with everyone in shorts - but otherwise - go inside and don't kill your guests, the musician, the caterers etc

The worst is up here where even in June evenings can go down into the 40s. Ok, let's say I'm am idiot and I agree to play it (disclaimer: I'd never do this to myself) so my viola which is worth 30 times as much as my car is totally wrecked and I need physical therapy for the muscle strain which takes about a month to heal. But then, the 80-90 yr old parents/grandparents/ whathaveyou-- out there too? What are these people thinking? It's like they'll kill their elderly relatives for a couple cute photos

I do walk my young dogs around the park without carrying water for them= I believe we will all survive an hour long walk without water. I don't have breeds with smushed in faces that make breathing hard and they are herding dogs who, as a breed, do have to work for a reasonable time. When they get home, there is water and a/c vents for all.

Someone is ignoring me, too. I'm equally perplexed.

If he is suicidal because he is a refugee, then it will get better as he settles in. If he was already suicidal before the civil war started, that's another story.

One tries to respond to a thread started by the ignorer. It comes up that you cannot respond because the OP has you on their ignore list. It is why the couch threads have to be started by someone who has no one on their ignore list. The ignore list benefit of being unable to have the ignored post on the ignorer's threads seems to be defeated if the ignored uses tapatalk. It also blocks one from pm'mming the other from what I have heard.

Also refuses to get any real mental health help (apparently that's supposed to change now with him in the motherland but I have little hope).
If he is suffering from a lack of stamina, then he might be able to game the system yet not be able to hold down a job. Likewise if he has sporadic breakdowns but occasional hours of clarity. Likewise if he is on drugs. Likewise if he suffers delusions. Etc.
