• Stupid Things

    Barry,

    But, I get days when "nothing sounds good".

    So peanut butter on Saltines for you!

    How about Reese's Pieces Chocolate Chip Cookies instead?? <G>

    IMO some people are just being stupid. I'll admit to potentially being
    a little stupid as don't wear a mask at the grocery store -- neither do roughly the other 40% of customers. We do observe social distancing.
    OTOH if I go somewhere and the requirment is to wear a mask I have one with me and put it on. I am avoiding crowds -- mainly because I don't
    go much of anywhere -- don't really need to.

    Little Rock and Fayetteville have local ordinances, requiring masks in
    public places. The exceptions are when your food and drink arrives at a restaurant...when you're driving...under a certain age...or have certain medical conditions.

    I doubt we'll ever get back to what it was before COVID-19.

    Hi Daryl!

    You'll spoil your appetite!

    If/as required I don't mind and will wear the mask. Personally I wonder
    about the while driving requirement, especially if the windows are
    rolled up. Some masks trip the expelled CO2 and this can cause the
    person to pass out -- not a horrible thing if walking or sitting as
    compared to when driving a car.

    There are prior portions I'm hoping not. Some people had poor hygiene, putting the rest of us at risk of 'catching' something: not washing
    hands, sneezing/coughing into the open, for example. The one-way aisles
    when shopping aren't even that bad an idea, though modifications like mid-aisle shortcuts/turn-arounds would be nice with those from-front-to-
    back walks.

    That's the idea. LOL!!

    I don't wear it while I'm driving, but otherwise when I'm outside, or
    in a public place, it's on. At the urologist this morning, they were
    requiring everyone...even small children to wear a mask...even though
    the state health department directive exempts them from that. The look
    on this little boys face (my guess no more than 2) was pricess (I'm not
    wearing that stupid thing!! <G>).

    Even cleaning up properly after using the toilet, or changing a diaper. That's one of the fastest ways to spread disease.
