Are you howling?

I could say the same about my wife.

I have a 5 year old grandT-Rex here that is trying to get into the Guiness Record books.

We howled outside tonight...we were already enjoying a toasty fire and a cold one, so we joined in. Good harmless fun that is uplifting to someone...

I asked my husband to participate. Hes kind of like a kiddo in that way & thought he would enjoy being loud since hes been stuck home with me. Boy, I was right. Giggle.

Then he came back in & asked wtf was that for anyway?

I got moved to nights for my work schedule during the shutdown, now the neighbors wake me up an hour earlier than my alarm every night.

First thing that came to mind. People that don't work shift work or fucked up hours don't even think about it, but the very people they are howling for, are the same people just trying to squeeze out an extra hour of sleep SOMEWHERE in their day/night. But alas, shift work has caused me to hate loud stereos and exhaust systems to, I'm now a grumpy old man I guess.

Feel lucky they're not doing it at an actual first responder typical shift change @7PM.

At least that's what my ex-Paramedic wife told me. Same one that's a Nurse and thinks what they are doing is dumb. But hey, if it makes you feel good.

I am not howling, nor have I heard any by people in this area either.

Often though, one can hear the real thing usually after midnight and before sunrise.

To me, it's partly just more virtue signalling with little substance. Just another stupid tide pod challenge.

However, if people need to do something to make them feel better and show appreciation, go for it. Don't expect everyone to join in, and don't assume that nonconformists are not appreciative.

A thought just occurred, not directly related, but...

What superstitions were to the greatest generation and older - that's been wholly replaced by virtue signaling today. There's few, if any superstitions that are broadly kept now, but if you don't participate in virtue signaling, you receive the same kind of scornful looks and shaking heads as if you walked under a ladder outside a restaurant in 1935. For both, there's a few people that never participate in any of it, and there's a few people that feel obligated to participate in all of it, practically getting a chip on their shoulder for "saving someone's life today", and then a lot of people in between.

My ex, the RN, said she hadn't heard of the howling thing up in ID. She didn't seem too excited about the idea...also thought it was silly. She said she'd prefer people just don't do so much stupid shit that made her job harder. "That would be a lot more helpful...if people weren't stupid." Her words. Almost sounds like she was married to a cop for 3 decades.

Yup, all I have to do is step outside my house and listen.

Not entirely, we are still waiting to complete a couple things before we can receive our home goods, and actually move in completely, but we have our keys, and have been spending some time here, as we are completely over the hotel life.

Have a guy and his wife down there told me, costco is almost fully stocked.

Thank you! Indeed we are, can't wait until the house is ready to receive ALL of our stuff, at least the kids can run around in the back yard, since all the playgrounds are off limits.

I caught wind from some co workers that the Costcos are pretty well stocked now, and they are allowing medical and first responders to come in at certain times, I foresee a Coscto run in our future.

I moved up here from Tucson 3.5 years ago but still have family down there. I usually drive down at least a couple times a year. My parents have stated that most of the stores are pretty well stocked at this time, to include toilet paper.

I have thought about getting my electronic caller out.

I'm going to light off a few shot gun bird bombs, tonight.


Instead of howling everyone should crank this up @ 8

My vocal chords probably wouldn?t hold up to much howling these days but I?d be happy to participate in some sort of outdoor desk-pop to show solidarity.

I gotta say I support Italians singing and some other stuff too. But howling, no.

I'm a fan of this group instead.

Nope. We hear people in our neighborhood doing it, but don't have the slightest inclination to join in.

After thinking about it, I think I'm going to start howling, maybe the occasional firework. But at 8:00 am instead.

If anybody says anything, just tell them that they've been doing it wrong. [Coffee]

Less howling tonight, think the cold weather is driving ppl back inside

Really get pumped for the day you know? Also a reason to not sleep until 1pm.

Looks like he's got a mole problem.

Or a gopher. Is Bill Murray in the group?

I would probably hit a sprinkler line.

Better than a gas line.

Very annoying. My kid is already barking about every 6 hours as a protest to buy/adopt a dog.
Thanks to the 8pm howling, it is driving me crazy.

We should add to the nonsense by firing 3 blank rounds at 2005...

It's bad enough with the fireworks.

The howling needs to stop. All the nonsense needs to stop. I find it completely absurd. Are the howling for docs and nurses that are being laid off due to no work? Howling for the emergency hospital facilities that were never used? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I’m bitter today.

This whole howling thing seems to be a group conditioning device similar to the "two minutes of hate" in 1984 (albeit appearing more positive on the surface).

More feel-good PC horse-puckey slactivisim. Who needs a "participant" trophy?
