Well, we made it to Halloween! Next up will be the holidays I love – Thanksgiving, then my birthday, then Christmas! I know, right? The year has been flying by waaaaay too fast.
This past weekend marked a sad event – everybody’s ‘friend’, Matthew Perry sadly passed away.
This was floating around this weekend and really hit home:
I recently just finished binge-watching all the FRIENDS episodes, so it makes the loss of Matthew that much more profound.
But lest we not dwell on the “FRIENDS” aspect, Matthew Perry’s true legacy is that he was more than his iconic acting role on “Friends”, he wanted to help those struggling with addiction. So he did exactly that.
There have been rumblings that he was using again and that that’s what ultimately caused his death. No illicit drugs were found in his house or on his property, the only prescription drugs they found were anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medications, including pills for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
He played pickleball 5 days a week – including just hours before he died. His pickleball partner said he looked fatigued that day, and only played an hour instead of the usual 2 hours… methinks his heart just finally gave out. I choose to believe he’s truly been sober since 2021.
May he rest in peace.
Enough of the sad stuff – since there are only 8-ish weeks until Christmas (egads)! I’m of course keeping this countdown active, either it will be helpful or annoying – or annoyingly helpful!
Let’s dive into the funnies, shall we? Of course, since it’s Halloween, I’ve gotta go with a Halloween theme… This cracked me up:

So sad about Matthew Perry. I hope he is remembered for the help he tried to give others dealing with addiction. There may be a lot of people that don’t know that side of him, though. Dang. He was so young. I, too, believe his heart just gave out. On a brighter note, sheet show was my favorite! But that last one is truly frightening!
My condolences to Mr. Perry’s family, friends and fans, which means pretty much all of us.
Thanks for the laughs, I hope you and your family have a fun and funny Halloween!
These are funny, I say as a non-celebrant. The last one is disturbing and also a genius idea…
Halloween is that magical time of the year when the ordinary turns extraordinary. From spooky costumes to eerie decorations, it’s a night of frightful fun and imagination. The thrill of trick-or-treating and the warmth of pumpkin-spiced treats make it a unique, joyous celebration that brings out the child in all of us. Happy Halloween, where the supernatural meets the super sweet! 🎃👻🕷️🍭
