Can't complain, been to about 30 states and 7 >countries. That gets easier as the years roll on :( Did you have to isolate in Florida? I suddenly found it difficult to be on my own again after 23 years, as did some others in this condo building. So we set up a Saturday night get together in the lobby, sitting socially distanced in the chairs there and some wine on the table in the centre, self serve. It helped. Today is the first day some restaurants can open, amongst them my favourite pub so a friend and I are going for a socially distanced lunch :) |

| Bruce <bruce@null.null>: Jun 05 09:23PM +1000 >> socially distanced lunch :) >How do you plan to eat your lunch without lowering your mask? >"a socially distanced lunch" lol Why are you being so difficult? What's wrong with people being careful? Even if you can't be perfect, it's still better to do what you can. |

You can now sit inside a restaurant to dine but you have to wear a mask to get inside and also sit "socially distant." So if you need to wear a mask just to get in the door, just how are you supposed to eat inside without removing the mask? Or just why is it ok to remove the mask once inside? |

Or just why is it ok to remove the mask once inside? I think it's a compromise between what's perfectly safe and what's practical or feasible. |

That's not convenient, have to change about 3 times and there is no nearby airport anyway so one is renting a car and driving. So we rented a bus, made two overnight stops in interesting places, went to the tournament and came back via Freeport and I had a wild time in L.L. Bean :) The trip down and back became fun. |

It helped. >How did you drink that wine without lowering your mask? Very simple, I don't wear one! I have one in my purse in case I have to, but from choice do not. We figure we're all in this building together, so it's our 'bubble' and people who feel they are more at risk, do not come. >> socially distanced lunch :) >How do you plan to eat your lunch without lowering your mask? >"a socially distanced lunch" lol The social distancing is because of the no masks thing. |

At no point did I say I wore a mask. However I have heard more than enough about the correct wearing of one and how to handle it, usually from doctors on the radio and they should know. >So if you need to wear a mask just to get in the door, just >how are you supposed to eat inside without removing the >mask? Or just why is it ok to remove the mask once inside? Strictly speaking, it doesn't make sense - unless you have another unused mask with you to put on afterwards. |

That's the way I feel too but for now, I'll continue to opt for the safer version. Lunch today for me will be socially distanced...alone at home. So anyway...argument resolved? I do wish you a nice lunch and continued good health. We can't all just sit at home alone forever. I'll just wait a bit longer and see how this social comeback pans out. I suspect we'll all get a various dose of this virus before a vaccine comes out. It's drifting around the world like a fog. |

It's drifting >around the world like a fog. My daughter wondered if when I was so ill over Xmas and NY's and had to be in hospital, I did have it. The most striking thing was that all food tasted foul and even though I am fit again, I don't really eat the same things I used to, they still sometimes taste bad. When I can, I am going to get a test and see. |

Last week I was waiting for curbside service at a pet shop. An older couple came along wearing masks. The woman gave me a bit of a disdainful look because I was not wearing a mask. Then she came up and stood about one foot behind me. I was tempted to turn around and couch. |

Not something that I would actually dare do but it would be funny. Case in point: My joke comment about wearing a mask to the grocery store the other day. https://www.hostpic.org/images/2006012231170082.jpg It would make a great "Candid Camera" skit, just showing how people would react to it. LOL |

I can't explain it, but they taste terrible for all I know what the real flavour should be, beef/barley or notbob's Minestrone etc. I suppose I could better explain it by saying I no longer like that flavour. In the hospital they made me drink that Ensure, it tasted like pure sugar and just made me throw up! |

I had a craving for it about 20 years ago. It was not as good as I had remembered it. Another big disappointment was that Italian soft drink Brio. I used to like it once in a while. I bought a case of 24 cans and after 3 or 4 I lost all interest in there. I found the cans years later, buy which time there were almost empty. |
