Ok so I'm back and hopefully I won't have to be away for so long ever again!!! This has been a totally messed up year for us. Not only due to covid and losing close people in our lives but on August 10th we went through a huge storm called a "derecho". 160 mph winds for over an hour - an inland hurricane (we are in iowa, no where near an ocean). I live in the 2nd biggest city in iowa and not a single city block went untouched. The whole city was devestated. We lost approximately 80% of our city's tree canopy. We were without power for 7 days, without a refrigerator for 2 months, our back wood privacy fence is down, and we lost the remaining tree in our back yard. Oh, and my poor vegetable garden :( but... we were lucky compared to pretty much everyone else on our block because our tree in the front yard had previously been taken down. Thankfully, otherwise it would have landed on top of our house, like most of the other people on our street and in our city. Anyway, I could go on and on about it - but I'll save you the boredom.

TL/DR - this past year has been a big pile of shit, but im back.

Here's the contest...

1.) If you remember me from before - tell me what you missed about our friendship.

2.) If you don't remember me or are new - tell me something cool and interesting about yourself!

3.) US only, sorry everyone else :(

4.) As always... DBAD.

5.) I will gift at least 1 person whom I previously knew on here, and 1 person I dont know. Must have gifted before and have an intro prior to today.

6.) Will end sometime tomorrow. Random gifting may occur before then.
