I’m old enough to make some of these jokes now.

One of the things that I love doing is monitoring my credit. It’s different in the different bureaus (which is, as I know, to be expected), but within the different… scoring models, is also different there, and when you have a sense of humor like mine, that can get amusing. Oh, why can’t all of these be the same? Why can’t there be just one credit score? (I know, I know. Seriously, I know. I’m old enough to joke and lament about this now.)

On to things that are very much not actual jokes now, though…

It still hits hard that Jason David Frank is actually gone, and why he is gone. I’ve still been trying as hard as I can not to actually talk about the cause of his death, which has been confirmed, because I don’t want to throw that into people’s faces — I don’t want to cause them distress or trigger them, so I leave it at the fact that yes, he has regrettably passed away. I did get the chance to watch the celebration of life that his loved ones allowed to be livestreamed on his official Facebook fan page, though. In the interim (November 22nd, to be exact), I’ve begun to develop almost excruciating back pain — sciatica — that I began treating with prednisone, which it was really rather responsive to, but I know that I can’t stay on prednisone forever due to the side effects… so it returned within about a day and a half of me stopping prednisone, and my care team has become aware of this. If sciatica came about due to the frequent prednisone use I’ve needed due to asthma and migraines, this would not surprise me at all, though… but this has become painful. I hate pain.

I will definitely be attending this.

I will definitely be attending this once the kids are done with their morning therapy sessions.

As a matter of fact, I will be attending this on my phone if I have to.

It’s been hard hiding his… cause of death from people who don’t need to have this thrust into their faces, but I’ve been continuing to do it for the sake of those people. I’m glad that Wikipedia has been protecting articles that have to do with him. It’s still been a shock that he’s actually gone, though. I grew up watching Power Rangers, and my two favorite Rangers (original Rangers? how do you say that?) are the two that are gone.

I hate the fact that I even have to ask people this.

For the people who have been attacking Jason David Frank because of the… cause of his death (which I am going to go to great pains not to say in here, and to be as vague about as possible in spite of the fact that more and more news agencies have been publishing it in news articles and mentioning it), coming after his estranged wife for being the last person that he spoke to before he died, thinking that she had a hand in causing his death… you people need to stop. People are coming after her on her personal social media pages as she mourns the death of the estranged husband that she had been, by the sounds of things, trying to make the marriage of work with, and his children are seeing this. His family members are seeing this. All of this is getting thrown into their faces. The cause of his death is getting thrown into his faces with every news article that mentions it, and I’m sure that can’t be good for anyone’s mental health… even the fans of his who followed his career through the Power Rangers franchise and beyond. Even though this feels a bit parasocial, even for me — who desperately tries to stay out of everything parasocial now — this needs to stop. He wouldn’t want this. Please let him rest. That’s what his family members and friends would want.
