Please explain this to me

Why is something that is advertised or supposed to be sooooo easy, turn into the biggest nightmare and end up costing twice as much as originally planned??

Oh, I got my new shed. It's up. I'll leave it at that. :|(


(LOL. If I don't laugh about it... )

Before vicious gossip gets the better of some folks, I'd like to clarify that IL and I are just friends :).

OK, now that we have heard about the covid conspiracy, we now have to deal with a 'dictation' conspiracy. What is the world coming to? lol

It was Siri’s sister who wants to link me and Roger. We are innocent pawns in her Machiavellian game!

The commenter has declared there is no conflict of interests.
Comment: This article completely fails to consider the costs of mask-wearing. There's a reason why we don't do this. It impairs our quality of life. We like to feel fresh air on our faces. We like to go out and see people. We like to be able to talk to people unencumbered. We like to be able to see people's expressions, their smiles.

Sure, make a judgement about the relative benefits and harms of mask-wearing. But don't purport to be writing some kind of rational appraisal while completely ignoring the obvious loss of quality of life which universal, permanent mask-wearing would entail.

The pandemic may not be over in time. Today the World Health Organization said it may not go away. They compared it to HIV which has been with us for 4 decades now. Do you really think people will want to wear masks for 40 years?
