@BelovedBirds thank you for the education!
And I hope I didn't offend anyone, as that was not my intention at all!
@JacinLarkwell here is the link to their website, I think it is a bit different from what you may be thinking of.

I was talking about the actual Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans

I know! Don't worry you are perfectly respectful!

There are big infamous Mardi Gras celebrations in many major cities around the world...
but, yeah, NOLA is the first I think of.
I had my unoffical senior trip there back in '77.

Oh interesting. I wasn't aware it was public outside of New Orleans

The next 'biggest' one is in Rio de Janeiro.

Isn't that Carnival? Or is that different? I honestly don't know

It's called different things, but it is a 'party' on the (Fat) Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.

And exhale
I may talk a lot on here, but in real life I avoid people, just, in general.

I just got home from a walk and hear a "Do you have ducks??" From my neighbour, and damn the anxiety just climbed in fear of some kind of problem
I immediately responded yes and made sure there was no issue with noise or anything, she said not at all, and that she doesn't mind them! She was just being social and interested in how I came to have them. She found it all very sweet.
This neighbour happens to be vegan, same as me, so we ended up having a lengthy chat about things. I know for a fact I will still be overthinking that simple conversation all day and night- but I am SO relieved my closest neighbour is happy about the ducks

So happy for you! For some people this may seem so insignificant, but it really isn't! I'm also a very anxious person, and I very frequently think of how others perceive me. Even when I'm writing things on this forum, if people don't respond quickly, intrusive thoughts start, like oh no have I offended them, am I being too much of a nuisance, am I going to get banned for writing something wrong? It's annoying, and I wish I didn't constantly think about these things. It's very nice to know that your neighbor is totally OK and likes the idea of you having ducks instead of feeling guilty for having them
