This question is for everyone, not just for couples in love. 

If COVID-19 is still a threat in October, then Halloween will be dramatically different.  No traditional trick-or-treating, parties. or parades.  However, people are very creative and will find alternative ways to celebrate. 

What alternative ways of celebrating Halloween can you think of?  Especially, what will be the alternative to traditional trick-or-treating? 

And how have you usually celebrated Juneteenth, if you celebrate it at all? 

Do you go to a rally? Church service? Volunteer? Read certain books or articles? Watch certain movies or TV shows? Read up on history? Eat certain foods? Listen to MLK on YouTube?

So far I can think of Donald, Dennis, Darren, Dorian, Dwight, Darryl.

More ideas, please?

An episode of the 1960s TV show Wagon Train showed flashback scenes set in Hell's Kitchen in Brooklyn, NY. I know that Hell's Kitchen is in Manhattan's West Side. Did the show made a mistake, or was there another Hell's Kitchen in Brooklyn in the 1800s when it was its own city and not yet part of NYC?

If so, when? If not, why not?

There's a novel written by a social worker in the 1960s or 1970s about an intelligent teenage girl living in a New York City welfare hotel room with her mother and younger brother and sister. Although the mother and the two younger siblings are broken by the system, the oldest girl is determined to finish high school and go to college. What is the name of this book, please, and who is the author?

I'm thinking of giving out animal crackers with my Halloween goodie bags this year because the crackers match my costume theme. Right now, a pharmacy chain is selling individually-wrapped treats, including animal crackers, very cheaply. However, these crackers contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a chemically-treated sweet that can wreck your body. I know where to find individually-wrapped organic animal crackers (without HFCS), but they cost three or four times as much. What do I do?

The Four Living Creatures are heavenly beings described in Ezekiel 1 and in the Book of Revelation. They have four heads--a lion, a bull/ox, a man/human being, and an eagle. They have wings, and they have eyes all over their bodies.

I'm open to suggestions about how to do this costume. Let's hear what ideas you have!

If this is true, why and how? If not, why not? Can you back this up with facts or statistics?

From what I understand, Trump wants a full-blown military parade with tanks and missiles. I know we've had Memorial Day and Veteran's Day parades with marching soldiers and veterans. But have we ever had an American parade with tanks and gigantic weaponry?

I love to make Valentines for my co-workers, family, and friends. Past themes: Olympic medals, 2014: inspirational quotes, 2016; love songs sheet music, 2013; famous fictional couples, 2012; Inaugural balls, Make America Love Again, 2017.

Now it's 2018: Winter Olympics again, Ash Wednesday falls on February 14, and our country is in turmoil because...well, you know. So, what would be a good theme for this year's Valentines? I have only two weeks!

I have an idea of making Valentine cards for my friends featuring couples who immigrated to the USA. They can be real or fictional, human or animal, past or present. They could have come here together or found each other here. They could be one immigrant with a native-born American.

Ideas? Thanks! ♥
