The thing is, Gary is using the kind of masks he used when employed as a professional house painter. They're intended to prevent inhalation of paint fumes. I'm sure there are more comfortable masks available. I've seen people wearing bandanas as a mask, looking like the folks who plan to hold up the stage coach in old TV Westerns. :) Jill |

My wife was at the bank today and a white lady was twirling a mask in her hand saying that you don't have to wear a mask in the bank. My guess is that she said it to my wife because she was the only other white lady in there. Everyone had masks on and were struck speechless. My guess is that she was one of those nutty/pushy Trumpeter ladies. Her lord and master, king trump said it was okay. I wish I was there because I could have used the laugh. Oddly enough, I was in the same building on the 4th floor having my teeth worked on. That was a 4 hour ordeal. === I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. It shouldn't take 4 hours though .. hopefully!! |

You can always just pinch the outside of the mask to lower it down to your chin or neck. Then raise it up the same way. Might depend on the type of mask. The ones I have don't hook around the ears. It's a molded cup mask that has straps that go around you head and neck. Good for reusing many times too. Just let them air dry to remove the moisture from your breath, then store for the next use. I keep one in my van and also one at home if I walk to the nearby convenience store. (I also still have 3rd unused mask in box) Those are they ones we have, but D. cleans them with a UVC wand. Any bacteria or virus on them will be dead within 1-3 days max. These will last a long time just for the occasional store use. This is a pic of the ones I use: https://www.hostpic.org/images/2006031558400088.jpg They work well but are thick and annoying. Even in a store I'll occasionally pinch it and pull it a bit off my face just to get a breath or two of fresh air. The moment I exit the store, it goes down around my neck. |

Touching the outside of your mask makes no difference to the inside of it. The virus stays on the outside where it was in the first place. Or on your hand, it still transfers to the outside of the mask and the mask protects you from what's on the outside. Think about it again. Regardless, that's what I do and it makes sense. So far, so good. I do also carry alcohol wipes and use them after stores and also wash hands after getting home. My point here...ok to touch your mask from the outside to pull it up and down. Just don't touch the inside with possibly contaminated hands. |

One day the gator > gabbed has hand and IIRC it was so badly damaged he ended up losing it. When people moved to "Jilligan's Island" in the 1980's after the property was developed they were mostly snowbirds looking for vacation homes. (A large number of Dataw homeowners are seasonal residents.) These people didn't have a clue about alligators. Thought they were quaint. So yes, they'd feed them. Then peoples pets started going missing... and the DO NOT FEED signs went up. Just a few years ago there were some people pet-sitting for a couple who had gone out of town. The dog somehow got away from them. Parts of the dog were found a day or so later in one of the ponds. Very sad. Never underestimate a hungry alligator. I don't live near one of the ponds but alligators get around. I think it was 2010 when I got a call from my neighbor who had gone out to water the plants on her patio. "Did you know there's an alligator in your back yard?" I didn't know what to do (other than stay inside) so called Security. I expected them to call a professional critter catcher or animal control or something. Nope. They sent one of their guards over with a long pole with a wire loop on the end. By herself! She managed to get that loop around the gator and dragged it between our houses, across the street and between two other houses to a pond. Amazing! I have to wonder if that was in her job description. ;) Jill |

Might have been sound advice, Graham. I actually had a TV get fried (this was back around 1984) during a thunderstorm. Lightning struck nearby. I heard a POP! and that TV was history. When I was a teenager we were told not to talk on the phone during a thunderstorm. Might get shocked! Ah, the good old days. ;) Jill |

Ah, the good old days. ;) I've even heard not to bathe or shower during a thunderstorm. I suppose a close stike could even make that dangerous. Of my 4 ferrets, only the large male one was absolutely terrified of the thunder. I felt so bad when that happened while I was at work. I knew he was freaking out. Anytime at home during a thunder storm, I would pick him up and hold him close and constantly reassure him that he was safe. He was a cool ferret but he didn't deal with that well at all. |

Hadn't you seen the previews? > 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 In the movie, the young kids were sleeping in their parents' bed because they were scared by a huge storm. The parents (Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams) were smoking a joint and having a good time when the little boy came in to say the storm was scaring them. The dad convinced them the storm was moving away, know how to tell? Count the thunder after the lightning. Boy was he wrong. LOL The kids ran in to sleep with their parents. Everyone was asleep when Carol Ann woke up, climbed to the end of the bed and got down in front of the TV and put her hands on it. And then the hand came out of the TV... I have to wonder why those folks never turned off their television sets when they went to bed. "They're heeeere!" Scared the heck out of me and I was in my 20's. I can only imagine what impression it would have had on your 6 year old daughter. Jill |

My cat Persia didn't like thunderstorms. She'd hide under the bed. There was a time when a tornado came very near our apartment in Cordova. The warning siren was right on the corner but the really loud storm had already awakened me. It was about 3AM. I went into the living room and turned on the TV. Tornado spotted in Cordova, take cover! About that time the TV clicked off (electricity out) and the siren started wailing. It was then I found out the siren was hooked up to the national weather service and I heard a loud booming voice "TAKE COVER, TAKE COVER!" That startled me. Well, I went into the master bathroom (yes, I had two bathrooms) with a pillow and a blanket, a flashlight and my little weather radio. I had parakeets at the time so I brought their cage into the bathroom, too. It was an inside bathroom, no outside walls and no windows. Pipes in the walls are supposed to help provide cover, too. Persia was hiding under the bed. I was fretting, how am I going to get that damn cat in here? Right then she joined me and hunkered down between the toilet and the tub and I shut the door. Good girl! Fortunately the tornado didn't hit us directly. All I know is it knocked out the power and the phone lines in a very large area (West TN, North Mississippi) in some places for several weeks. Lots of damage nearby and the office where I worked was closed. They were running on emergency generators, critical things like the computer room. I happened to know the break rooms with the ice machines were connected to the emergency generators. So even though the office wasn't open I knew I could go there and fill a cooler with ice and take it home. Other people were desperately trying to find bags of ice at the grocery stores, which were also mostly without anything but emergency power. My cat Persia, bless her, figured getting out from under the bed and joining me in the bathroom was a good idea. :) OB Food: I cooked a lot of food on the trusty Weber kettle that week. It took that long to get the electricity restored. Thankfully I knew where to get ice so nothing spoiled and I had cast iron cookware. Grandma's cast iron griddle worked a treat for cooking bacon & eggs. I made cornmeal griddle cakes, too. Veggie beef soup in a big cast iron pot. Jill |
