Vaccine Status

Vaxxed and masked only when required.  

There are two things in this world that smell like fish 

And Ditto, you two, for thread integrity.

Vaccinated.  Building where I live back to masks in all common areas, and office just reinstated masks at all times.  Bus/subway never removed their mask mandates. I wear a mask in any store I go into, and put it on if I’m walking on crowed streets.  

fully vaxxed. went to run errands last night, forgetting that our mask mandate was dropped. wore it in the stores anyway out of respect for those working there, who are all still masked. I really don't mind at this point. 

I see people out walking — no one else around but me across the street or a good distance away — wearing masks. I don’t see the need but if they feel they do, it’s none of my business.

(too bad most can’t mind their own damn business in general, but that’s another issue for another time)

tish, apologies! I blame the phone and my eyesight

Hi Renfield! It's good to hear from you, lady.

Fully vaccinated. I wear my mask pretty much all the time, sometimes when I'm outside, sometimes in the car, because I forget I have it on.

As someone with OCD, my greatest fear is the idea that I'll spread it to someone and there'll be a chain-reaction of infections with some deaths sprinkled in. In the early days (i.e., last year), that had me wearing a mask on my daily 15-mile bike rides (though I'd pull it to my chin when nobody was around). So, like we've always said, you don't know what's going on with someone else and even if their reasoning doesn't turn out to be particularly rational, so be it. (And I know you didn't approach them and aren't particular worried about it, but some people are).

I walk the dog in an urban environment and I don't even have a mask on me anymore. But I do see a lot of them on faces and chins. Part of it is that they're required on buses. So people have to bring them and I'd be some just forget about them after they get off the bus because, well, it's a minor inconvenience.  It's just so funny to me when someone gets visibly angry because they saw a guy wearing a mask in his car by himself. There are a few rational explanations, a few irrational explanations, and one response: "who gives a shit?"

Early in the mess, I was walking down the street with my mask on and a maskless guy walks towards me, gets within about five feet and says "you're outside; you don't need to wear a mask." Of course, his doing that tweaked my OCD. When people are going "too far" discomforting themselves for the greater good, just leave them alone. They really seem to think their very way of life is being threatened because someone's wearing a mask when not needed. Or maybe seeing them makes them aware of their own lack of willingness to sacrifice comfort for others. Either way, they need to keep it to themselves.

I will NEVER understand why people feel the need to butt into someone else's life and tell them NOT to wear something.

Maybe I should start walking around shouting at these folks:

"Hey pal, it's hot out, TAKE THOSE PANTS OFF AND PUT ON SHORTS, NOW!".

"IT'S DARK OUT. TAKE THAT BASEBALL CAP OFF!". 

FUCK OFF.

This is how the term "rad" came about.
