I don't know how many people here are aware, or concerned about these things, but they're bad for trees, and Blacksburg has so many beautiful and well taken care of trees. Because of the efforts of many, their spread into this area has been slower than many places, but I saw gangs of these nymphs right by Stadium Woods. If you know, you know, but if you're curious, just Google "Spotted Lantern Fly".
After finally deciding to seek help, after my wife becoming almost a vegetable, her becoming unable to communicate effectively, work, or do anything really, and our future disappearing, about to lose our house, I started seeing a psychiatrist. Turns out, our insurance was cancelled the same day I had my first visit, because my wife's employer terminated her, which terminated our whole family's insurance plan.. So that will be my first and last appointment with my psychiatrist, and things are now exponentially worse than they were at the point I decided to seek help, but now I can't even afford to get help. Crying and laughing, because of how ridiculous it all is. Everything we've both worked for will be gone. I was already at my breaking point, and now things are even worse. Going from two working adults and one child, to one working adult, the other needing to be cared for, and a teenager who would rather run away from home than help, I can't keep this up for much longer.
