You're doing that correctly, it seems many do not know you should not
touch the mask anymore than touching your face.

When you pull it down you defeat the whole object of wearing it!

Bruce, haven't you learned that lesson well enough from me saying
I wasn't serious or Just kidding. You only get accused of
backtracking to save face. lol
 
RFC, for the most part, doesn't understand a "straight-face"
joke. Only ED here can pull that off, for some reason.
 
Even with my joking and being accused of backtracking, some
would say, "If you're joking, you should add an emoticon to
indicate that."
 
So I started adding a ;-) face to indicate "just kidding"
 
And now, the same crybabies will still yell at my joking...
"Just because you add a smirky face doesn't absolve you.
 
LOL Ya can't win here.

Not true at all. Think about it. Pulling it off for a moment in
store is only when no one is around.

weren't we supposed to leave the N95 masks for the medical
professionals because the N95 were in short supply?

Oh please, don't start. Always some argument here no
matter what is said.
 
I bought these 3-4 years ago at a paint store.
They are painting grade masks, not medical grade.
There is a difference.
 
I needed these for myself. I'm required to wear them.
I didn't have to buy any and reduce the supply that others
might need.
 
It's not like I hoarded 300 boxes in my basement like someone
here has in the TP shortage.

There was more information in The Sun this morning. Cops had been
called because the woman was fighting with her father and brother. Cops
had them all out in the hall. The woman pleaded to go back into the
apartment to use the washroom. The then bolted out to the balcony,
threw some small appliance in front of the door and then tried to jump
to the balcony next door... didn't make it.

You're missing my point. If you are wearing one, the minute you pull
it down it is no longer effective, you've touched it and it should now
be disinfected or washed. That's why some people are seen driving with
them on, they are the people who know how to properly wear one, if
that's what you feel you should do.

I'd trust the Sun about as far as I can chuck it - who was it who told
them all this?

The primary purpose of wearing a mask in public is to protect others
from yourself. There is a certain amount of moisture in the air you
exhale and a virus could possibly go for a ride on it. The bigger
problem is coughing and sneezing, which will blow out larger chunks,
blobs of mucus and saliva. The mask should hold that stuff back. All
that yuckiness will be affixed to your mask, probably inside and out.
It's just not getting blown out into a cloud that travels a couple yards
and hangs there for a while.

That's okay. I am not the list bit surprised that you would dismiss a
news report that disagrees with you opinion. There are a number of other
sources that have reported that the mother claimed the cops has shoved
her daughter off the balcony and that she later retracted that claim.
Now they are complaining that they police didn't handle the situation
well. Once again we have seen a person who has been let down by family,
friends and the mental health system, and when they have to get the
cops involved.
 
 
Frankly I am getting frustrated with people demanding that the police be
better trained to tell with people in crisis. These people have
invariably been let down by their family friends and the health car
processions. The police end up getting called when things go bad and
then the cops get blamed from not being as well trained as the mental
heal professionals who had not been much help either.

Just make sure they're not wriggling around when you go to
pick them. heh heh
 
When my daughter bought that baby australian python, it was
the size of a pencil.
 
Her snake escaped one day and was missing for about a month.
Then one night I went to the bathroom and as I reached for
some toilet paper, there it was coiled and resting on top of
the toilet paper holder.

My mother never made it either. Matter of fact, I've never
had it at home or anywhere. Funny how it seems to be so
popular and even a tradition at holiday times.
 
I would probably like it. I even considered making it once.
Maybe I should someday just to see why so many do seem
to make and love it.

I always use butter for eggs.
Crack your eggs into a bowl so they're ready to use then
Add butter after the pan is hot
then continue to move it to coat the pan and cook until it just
starts to
turn brown, then add your egg(s)
 
The browned butter adds a bit of nice flavor.

Like most quick breads, it doesn't want to be overbeaten. A few lumps
are not a problem, but if you develop the gluten (provided your recipe
has flour in it), the outcome won't be as tender as it should be.
More like pancakes or muffins than bread.

As a matter of fact there are signs at all the ponds that say "Do not

I almost bought one - a 4-track just so I could add tracks to
my own songs and make it sound like a band was playing.
 
I did make a few "duet" songs of myself. Very cheap versions
though. I used my duel cassette player. I recorded a song
with microphone and played guitar and sang. Then played that
back with a microphone next to speaker and one for myself and
the second cassette recorded both. Fun to do.
 
Would be very cool to do it right with a multi-track recorder.
 
George Harrison did that for his "All Things Must Pass" album

I'll always remember that movie. First saw it on HBO in the
early 1980's when my daughter was about the same age as
the little girl, "Carol-Ann," I think.
 
Well, my daughter saw the previews and really wanted to watch
it even though it was after her bed time. She wanted to
watch as the girl was about the same age.
 
So we let her stay up late to watch it. *BIG MISTAKE*
Seeing what happened to the little girl, getting sucked
into the tv to another dimension land scared the hell
out of her and for the next month, she would only sleep
in our bed right between "safe" Mom and Dad. lol

Not only unplug the tv but also unscrew the cable line too.
Had a friend once that lost her tv. She had unplugged it but
didn't think about the cable connection. Nearby strike took
out her tv.

Don't know how your whole house one works but I have a few of the
individual outlet ones. At least in the past, they would work
only
once then you had to replace them. The steady red light indicited
that they were good. After a power surge protection, that red
light would blink to let you know it needed to be replaced.

We had a crazy storm here last night. The sky was like a stroboscope for
a while with constant flashing in all directions, constant rumbling and
a lot of nearby strikes. Then there was the hail... 2cm in diameter. I
had never seen hail stones that big around here.

The potato bread is my project. She's making some cookies. I'll try to post
a picture when she's done.

That would be good, but I am very interested in your project:)

chili powder (a combination of seasonings) or a chili pepper. What is

Never!
1) read what I said above..."No big deal"
2) I rarely multi shop stores in one outing.
If I want to go to another store, it's a
separate trip on another day.
 
I do enjoy early shopping but it's
an 'in for what I want then get the hell out' thing.
