Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

You peeps are lucky! the churches around here do not allow animals to attend. NONE!

Well, even if I was I'm not sure I would. I can just imagine right when the preacher is making a solemn point or hitting the height of a particularly electric sermon, 3 roosters start a crow off contest!

Supposedly you push it onto the spur and twist.

The potato works! Trust me. That's how I do it!

I take it you don't understand the reason for wearing a mask. It is not for your protection, it is to help protect others from you. Since you could be sick and not even know it for several days, The mask you wear limits the amount of particles that come out of your mouth when you cough, sneeze or even just talking. By limiting that, that in turn limits the spread of the virus. I wear a mask at work for 9 hrs a day. Do you think I really like wearing it when I get off work? No I don't but that fact is I could be sick and not know it, and the last thing I want to do is make someone else sick. The people walking around with out them are doing nothing more then saying they are more important then you or your health is. I for one am not that selfish. I care about the people in my community to much. They mean more to me then a bit of discomfort the mask I am choosing to wear to protect them is causing me.
Rant over

You are mistaken, I do understand the role of wearing a mask, specifically the non-respirator masks. Masks do not limit what comes out of your body, they simply restrict it.

You seem to be under the impression that I am anti-mask, which is also erroneous. It is highly unlikely that anyone has contracted the virus simply by walking past someone who has the virus. This is based on understanding how a virus works, not on vanity or dislike of a protective garment. A virus must attain a certain virus load for it to propagate.

FYI, the eyes are as effective for virus infection as the nose or mouth, so eye pro should also be part of the normal PPE if you are worried about getting infected.

My concern is not about PPE, it is about forfieting liberty for security and how many are so willing to do this. That is what I consider selfish.

Maybe if pastor was quoting what Jesus said to Peter, about his denying him three times?

I would only bring 2 dogs at the most

A good start ... but what's the plan for the SECOND year? Go ahead and let us in on it ... we won't tell!
The first year we went, we took two dogs and a picture of our cats. The next year, two dogs, both cats. Year three, two dogs, two cats - one of which escaped and had to be coaxed out of the rip-rap on the riverbank - and a rooster. Since then, we've taken a varied assortment every year. One fellow brings some pond scum every year ... for all of the living organisms that sustain all life. Another brings two massive Muscovy ducks (they're SO cool - and they like pickles!) One of these days, we're taking a calf. We just haven't had the combo of great weather and a calf the right age and temperament small enough to fit in the back of my van. One of these days, it WILL happen!

Be careful, not to bring a lamb. (If it's a Temple)

I wish I had a goat I’d bring it lol

No they don't. Athletes foot is compounded by the moist, warm conditions in your sneaks. If you go barefoot then you learn to avoid hazards, your skin becomes healthy like good leather if you take care of your feet. Shoes have nothing to do with the decency of a person; they used to indicate "status" and I find nothing decent in that.

I literally have nothing against running around barefoot but I understand that businesses and companies have policies and they could have many reasons for it and I personally am fine with that. I run around the house barefoot and many times go barefoot around the property though I love my sandals. When I was a kid we went most places barefoot like up the road to visit friends or family or to the park fishing etc. I had a few encounters with some rusty hidden nails, fish hooks, and one time a 6 inch long splinter went 4 inches lengthwise into the bottom of my foot between my toes that was fun. However my mom who is a nurse was always cautious not letting us go barefoot in high traffic public places because of the "nasty stuff we could pick up" and keeping us uptodate on our tetanus shots lol.

Rest assured that on Animal Sunday, there is no such formality ... AT ALL! In fact, at the last one, my roos were particularly quiet and Fr. John was concerned that they weren't there. Who knew that he now expects roosters every year? I assured him that they were, indeed in attendance and he shocked us all. He CROWED! And of course, The Boys responded in kind. The whole place erupted in laughter. It was quite awhile before my boys settled back down, but everyone was great about it. I LOVE my church family!
