But I pray Gov Cooper keeps the mask mandate through the summer. I have a fifty year High School reunion, and my eyes have not changed a bit.
Have ya noticed the biggest anti mask hell raisers have the ugliest faces? Damn, take advantage of the situation.

(9,273 posts)Because they wear a mask all day, (female) OR nurses are often quite artistic with eye makeup because its the only part of their face thats seen. Might as well make the best of it.

(51,626 posts)and the last time I went for my 32 shots into my skull (you can hear the needle go "crunch" as it enters your scalp) I told the doctor that people must be getting less Botox treatments in the bottom half of their faces due to mask wearing. He said that he only does medical Botox but he has heard from colleagues that my assumption is correct.
I wear a N95 mask and have only emerged from home once a week or two for a year but the N95 is so tight that I sweat and have a runny nose when I wear it. I have had pimples for the first time in 20 years from the mask. Now I am glad to wear a mask...it hides the pimples that the mask created in the first place. If you have never worn a real N95 you know what I am talking about. They are so tight I can't squeeze my pinky finger between the mask and my skin, and I have an extremely small head.

(8,791 posts)An ICU nurse and I have seen faces of health care workers after 12 hour shifts. I have no idea how they do it. I only go for groceries about every 15 days. So my time masked is pretty easy.
But, while I am out, I feel years younger.
Heros, that are the ones wearing them all day. I had to go to Lowes today. Every body was masked. Signs everywhere, required mask. Then behind me at checkout, a middle age Karen and her teenage daughter, no mask, even hanging loose. Believe me, both of them could really benefit masking those mugs.
I really was pissed for the lack of concern for the elderly cashier, selfishly being put in danger.
Lots of people suck.

(51,626 posts)but this week when I went to the store I forgot my N95 in the car so I took out the disposable one from my purse and as soon as I put it on I literally made a U-turn and went back for the N95. I can describe the difference: the disposable one was the equivalent of holding a tissue in front of your face versus clamping your hand over your mouth and nose.
The staff at the stores in my area have no problem telling people to put their masks on. I have seen the staff do it at all of the stores I regularly go to and I always thank them afterwards. No one has said "No" that I have seen anyway. I think that if they did the person would be as popular as Frankenstein was with the townspeople. When the staff asks someone to put one on everyone else turns around to give them the "evil eye". Talk about "if looks could kill...".

(8,791 posts)Pull off an outrage anger look just with my eyes showing. Enough so that no one says a word about my Shut the F**k up Donny mask over my N95. My Special Forces ball cap helps.

(51,626 posts)with a red slash through it on one of my masks last March. It is still my favorite one and it gets tons of compliments. I think I perfected my "evil eye" when I taught in elementary school. I could give the evil eye to a student and continue talking without skipping a beat. The evil eye and an anti-tRump mask are an ideal combination.
