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 MoreI’m befuttled...this mask thing is driving me crazy!
Comments (54)I'm so sorry that anyone should feel unsafe in their own community. We need decent respectful compassion for our neighbors and fellow community members by making us feel safe wearing masks and all physical distancing when necessary. It is just basic curtesy. I was hoping the rest of the country would learn from our mistakes in NY, NJ, Conn. Hit hard first and did what is best. We know so little about this virus but do know what works. Use all available precautions. Every precaution together adds to the percentage of less transfer. We had three unfortunate home tragedies. The AC went bust. The home softener/reverse osmosis needed service. On the phone they gave specific instructions for safety. Pre covid they would stack indoors and check the system. We asked they stack outside and did the filters ourself via chat. They were thankful and so helpful. Please ask via phone service calls what their protocols are before they visit. We have central AC. It just needed a reset that we could not find on-line. He never came inside and charge peanuts to re-set. (wearing a mask as did DH, outside!). The service fellow was so thankful we were wearing masks. We do 90% of our repairs by trouble-shooting. Remember the appliances forum will talk you through any issues before calling a repair service. Do try that first. I have extra masks. No one enters my home without. No need so far but not playing covid-roulette in my own home. If you do need service unavoidable, open all windows and use fans. Insist they wear masks before they come and be firm. The increase in the country is insane. So horrid for our health care workers. They are stressed beyond human normals. Holding the hands of dying patients. Shame on those not doing their part by wearing such a simple piece of fabric....See MoreAre you still wearing a mask when you go out among people?
Comments (109)"Me wearing a mask protects others, not me ... I have been innoculated plus I have the antibodies." Partially right........But why don't you care about protecting others from a highly contagious disease that might leave them sick for years and years to come? Regardless, here's why you're only partially right: Protecting others is also necessary for protecting yourself. The more other people that become infected with Covid, the more opportunity the virus has to mutate. The more the virus mutates, the less likely it is that the vaccinations (and especially natural immunity) will continue to protect us. I'm sure you can see that's particularly important when it comes to transportation hubs and methods, where people from a bunch of different places with a range of different immunity mix. It's not over anywhere, until it's over everywhere....See Morejoyfulguy
