I... I see people in parking lots with no one within 25 feet of them with their ,mask on. I so want to say "Take that thing off and breathe the fresh air". I think all the hiding in your house and not getting outside for sunshine and exercise has been very detrimental to a lot of people's health and well being.
We haven't been hiding in out house at all. Why would we? We have been vaccinated, we wear masks around others, we wash frequently, and enjoy life. Last week, we went to the state fair.
The small changes we've made are worth it for ourselves and those around us.

Yep, wearing a mask and washing hands really are small changes....hand washing we probably were doing already and mask wearing is really no big deal....sort of like putting on our socks and brushing our teeth. I don't know why folks are making a big deal about it. Now something I really made a big deal about was not wearing high heels...yikes....they actually do harm your feet!

Ha! I gave them up long ago. Probably about the same time as pantyhose! Even before I retired, I stopped wearing anything other than pants (or capris in the warmer months).

May I ask what the Jesse mask is? I've been making masks using the Creative Grids ruler. While I am tired of the Coronavirus and everything that goes with it, I will continue to wear the masks and take the precautions until it is safe to not do so anymore!

of course - if one stays home no need for mask. If one lives in area with low case (or sickness) rates and high vaccination rates less need for mask. If one lives in a place like we do with minimal masking, people not social distancing, government rules prohibiting any safety requirements, hospitals full with COVID patients, unvaccinated dying at much higher rates than vaccinated then some of us will opt in to the mask. I don’t want to be even a little sick. Breakthrough infections very rare and deaths from breakthrough rarer yet. No vaccine is going to be perfect.

It's everyone's choice when there is no mask mandate. I do what I feel comfortable. Some places I do wear a mask, some I don't. I haven't seen anyone in their teens or young adults wearing a mask anywhere unless at hospital.

yes. Everyone’s choice. My choice is not to make anyone else sick inadvertently. Apparently some people choose to take the risk with their health and mine.
