One GREAT thing about getting old!
Comments (19)I want to talk about age, not weight. One of the clerks at the market had sold alcohol to an investigator posing as under-age customer - a very bad thing for the store. So now she was required by management to ask every customer their birth-date and year if they purchased alcoholic beverages. Now I am so obviously over the top, I don't even get carded for the Senior discount any more, and here she insisted on my birth-date and year and ID before letting me have some wine. I couldn't help it, I said "Good heavens, not only juveniles, but geezers can't buy booze any more? What is this world coming to?" Cracked everybody up....See MoreCleaning Lady Refuses to Wear Mask
Comments (86)It isn't practical to test everyone, all the time to determine who is or is not a carrier on any given day. It's not even practical to test everyone who feels like they had covid 19 and are recovered. It's not cost effective. Just like it is not cost effective to drug test 100K welfare users at a cost of 1M to catch the 1000 who might test positive on any given day, thereby saving 300K. Do the math. To be economical, one parses sparse resources to where you will get the most bang for your buck. Not sure that all these people who feel like they should be an exception to the rule are liberal or conservative. In fact, they are just folks who get off breaking rules in some cases. Don't get me started on folks I know who work in retail and have to argue with people saying their dog is a "support animal" so that they have to bring them into a store. Or any number of safety rules that I have had to enforce that someone argues for because their case is special. No dogs allowed in the park but my dog is special, no collecting of plant material but I just took one small flower, etc. If the rules don't apply to everyone, that isn't fair. And if everyone gets to break the rules, then they serve no purpose. Rules help people survive living together in groups. Stores have safety rules. "Don't climb on the shelves" for example. Does that impede your civil rights? Perfectly reasonable for businesses to employ safety rules to keep their customers and employees safe. Also perfectly reasonable for an employer than to ask that their workers comply with safety rules. I had to handle lots of hazardous materials in science lab and in landscaping. I got in trouble if I didn't follow company safety regulations. I never felt my civil right were being trampled on. See someone get thwapped in the eye once by a branch ricocheting off a tree being cut down, and you'll never again whine about having to wear safety goggles when using a chainsaw, even if said goggles are hot as blazes....See MoreWearing a mask with glasses? Anti-fogging tips
Comments (13)part of the article say: Pull up your mask. An easier tip for day-to-day mask wear is to use the weight of your glasses to block the air. Pull the mask up over the bridge of the nose as high as you can (make sure it’s still under your chin too) and let your glasses rest on top of the mask. I tried this and it works pretty well for me, but it depends on the shape and style of your eyewear. ALSO: If nothing works, do I just have to live with foggy lenses when I wear a mask? As a last resort, you can try pushing your glasses forward on your nose to allow more air to circulate and stop the fog. The downside is that it could distort your vision. “This seemed to work best of all,” Ms. Lamb said. “The only caveat is that it threw off my perception slightly. It might be less disruptive with a lesser prescription.” Fogging also will be less of a problem as summer approaches and outdoor temperatures get closer to the temperature of your breath. Moni now: I wear glasses. I have tried and had success with putting the glasses ON top of the fabric... also, I put a folded tissue over the nose, changing where the expelled air goes... down, instead of towards my glasses, and sometimes I just pull them downward on my nose. It's a mess, but can be handled. Moni...See MoreDes anyone wear a "gaiter" or buff for a mask?
Comments (16)I have several Buff bands and wore them at first when I didn’t have but 1-2 real masks to wear due to shortages. They are thin and I didn’t feel like I had much protection, even doubled up, so it was really an interim thing....See More- 5 years ago
