Ordered this a few days ago. Pricey, but I usually don't spend much on haircuts so feel I can afford to try this. DH is not thrilled because I want him to cut my hair. There are tutorials on Youtube. There is no way I would try cutting my own hair.

I have been cutting my own hair for 40 years. Most people would say “well, it looks like it!” Haha but I am ok with that. I am trying a shorter version and that works, too.

I had purchased some masks that I found uncomfortable, but DH and Dsis found acceptable. I then bought masks from this place which I find much more comfortable: https://www.shopprefix.com/. Apparently they donate part of their proceeds to a foodbank in LA. We liked the masks well enough to order a couple more. Since we can't very well go try these things on before we buy them - ha! - I do appreciate hearing product reviews from my SLF family.

PS: It looks like the masks favored by Dado are sold out.

Oh yes, and those must be horrible jobs under the best of circumstances. I really feel for all those "nonessential" workers in GA, FL, TX too.

+1.

That's my position. I'm a little iffy on the "if" part, however. I'm pretty sure there will be at least one more wave.

We are going to push forward, not hang back, and try to get our move accomplished to be near parents, children, grandchildren, and siblings, so that if any of us gets sick, we'll have the others for emotional and practical support.

In nursing homes a majority of people are not dying. More people survive than die. One of the hardest hit nursing homes in my state was Soldiers Home in Holyoke. 77 of 230 residents died during a covid outbreak, though not all the deaths were attributed to the virus. Of those testing positive about half died.

Woohoo. Only half died! Score!

No one cares about the useless old people anyway so a 50% death rate is no big deal. And bonus, Medicare and social security will be on a more secure footing financially. Smh.

I hope Costco now has big pallets of body bags for sale. That way it’ll be easy for the nursing homes to deal with the carnage when the worthless old folks die in bulk. Very efficient. Capitalism will he so proud.
