You should have seen them yesterday. I actually took a scissor to them this morning, they were down past my eyes. I couldn't see.

Me Hawkeye Smart ass!

A vendor sent us a bunch that his wife made. We gave them out to our drivers but I grabbed one that I thought I could rock.

I'm tired of hearing government leaders, news casters, and so-called experts etc. preach to me that masks absolutely work.
If you're going to tell me I must do something, then you're going to need to show me the data to justify your position. The CDC has totally dropped the ball, they're largely clueless (somewhat thanks to the Trump administration), and also in bed with industry (same goes for FDA). I cautiously pay attention to their recommendations. I trust the WHO way more than the CDC as they are a group of global medical professionals with far less affected by lobbying and political "input".

I am not conspiracy theorist or anti-government type of person, but how easily people are going along with this mask thing and not asking questions and worse, becoming very ok with potential government tracking measures, is a bit disturbing. As I tell my clients: Trust, but verify.
What's grinding my gears right now are the folks in public with the epidemiology degrees from CNN hopping up on their soap boxes and lecturing anyone with ears that aren't securing fabric to their faces. I had an administrative employee at a facility I was visiting get on my ass saying, "you're the person that is trying to kill me. Murderer!" All of this because I wasn't wearing a mask in front of her in an area that does not require PPE (but I was never any closer than 30 feet to her or anyone else in that area). Little did she know I was in full Tyvek and N95 just minutes prior in the active covid portion of the hospital helping save the folks. But you keep saving the world, Karen. I'm sure that cotton thing you made in your basement and have worn everywhere and anywhere for the past seven days straight without cleaning is SO safe

Slightly OT but I see a correlation between people wearing masks while alone in their car and asshole drivers.

LOL. So true. I also note that wearing a mask in a car while alone can also apparently make you drive extremely slow and with a death grip on the wheel.

Again, this plays into to opinion that most people are clueless to this whole mask thing like how to use them, how to wear them, when to wear them, how to remove them, etc. I suppose they could all be Uber drivers, but I haven't seen a single one of these cars with an Uber or similar window light.

Almost every day driving home on a two lane highway, I have two cars driving side by side doing 40 in a 50. When I manage to push my way through, both have on masks and yes to the death grip. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage when traffic returns to normal.

I feel that, the way I normally style my hair it doesn't get in my eyes but if I let it hang I can have hair in my mouth - which reminds me, does anyone know of good tasting shampoo?

There are several coconut ones my wife uses. Haven't TASTED them, but they smell appetizing. And I recall Strawberry as an option once upon a time.

Maybe I need to be in that old thread instead, remembering back when I HAD hair

There's a hair salon near us with a big sign out front that says:

"Don't Cut Your Bangs!!!!"

I'm not a hair stylist, but I assume this means it could cause irreparable damage? I'm certainly considering using my beard groomer to give myself a wiffle.

Second, this is what we have been provided. Funny thing when I sent the first batch to my team in PA a few weeks back they asked if we made them ourselves. Basically t-shirt material stamped with slits for the ears. Not sure how much good they really do honestly but we are supposed to wear when we are moving in the building.



This made my night.

Yeah, I stopped to put gas in my car today, no mask on. I wear the gloves for handling the pump but I'm not within 30 feet of anyone. Mean while the guy two pumps over is wearing a beat up paper mask while filing his car with no gloves giving me dirty looks. Guess he doesn't care about the countless number of people who have touched the gas pump but I'm the stupid one for not wearing a mask.

Bringing some youth into this thread.

Going to the store to get a case of water (hence mask) then will be taking some graduation photos for a few friends. Feel bad for them with no graduation ceremony, so I am going to attempt to do them with my old Rebel T7i free of charge. Figure it will be a good learning experience considering we're taking them at noon.

P.S. I am smiling under here, I swear.

I botched my hair once as a kid. I have cutting the bangs down to a science as they seem to grow lot faster then the rest of my hair. I'm thinking hairstylist will have lots of fixing to do when they open.

As far as color goes, I'll keep the grays and roots over attempting a DIY. I know my limits.
