It happened in Galveston, which is south of Houston about one hour. Gov. Abbott’s lifting of the mandate had some fine print which this lady evidently didn’t see: that if the business still wants you to wear a mask and you refuse, you can be arrested for trespass. Which is what happened. She was at the bank (Chase, iirc) to withdraw some money, so I’m hoping she moves all of it somewhere else!
Good for Tennesseans! I considered heading there since you also ended the covid restrictions, it’s closer and I LOVE Tennessee and its people. I’ve spent a week in Gatlinburg every year for 8 years until 2020, visited Memphis twice for a week each time, and was in Nashville for 5 days - all for bridge tournaments. But this is a golf trip and I wanted something a little warmer at this time of the year.
The power of our dollar is all we have and I will not enter establishments that require a mask when there are others that do not.
Wonder what would happen if somebody tried to BAN masks.
For me, it’s not just 3/16 - it’s happy “can collect Social Security at a reduced rate if I want” day.
Thank you - enlarged, it means a lot more!
Does this mean you’re getting ready to leave Canada for good? Can we say “Welcome to America!” yet? I hope so! :-)

Awwww! You are too sweet for words!
I’ve been thinking hard about it. I have a business here and would need to sell that first so I’ll have enough money to support myself. If the walls start closing in and PDJT is thwarted in his return, and therefore unable to free the countries of the world, I will definitely plan my escape. I think I’ll know by the end of this year, if not sooner.
I’ll practice rinsing a-boat (about - I’ve never heard anyone say a-boot) from my vocabulary so I fit in better. And I’ve never in my life said “eh” so there’s no problem there. You’ll all hear it here first.
Finally got to the bottom of the situation here in Palm Beach County, whether it was stores’ corporate policies or the county itself mandating masks. Husband was curious, and got on the county website. He found that they have a place on the site that says masks are mandated “for the next 10 days”, and they just keep extending it every 10 days. :(
So it does seem that someone in the County is continually flipping the bird at Gov. DeSantis.
Spit!
Thank you for the information, ichabod. I hope The Woodlands is north enough and that there are plenty of good restaurants in the area that don’t require a face diaper to get in. It will be my first question when making a reservation anywhere.
Words have gender people have sex.

When I’m feeling playful and a form has a line, rather than a box to be checked, next to the word “Sex”, I usually write in “often”. I figure my name identifies me as a female, so no harm done, and I relieve the boredom of form completion just a tiny bit.
We have never had mask restrictions except in doctor’s offices and by some liberal mayors of the big cities. Small towns haven’t made restrictions. Businesses don’t even try. My problem is that some say they are required but they don’t enforce it. I will only go in where they are enforced by the business. At the same time I’m glad we don’t have mandates. Leave it up to the businesses. If a person like me won’t do business where they aren’t required, people that won’t wear one can do business where they are not required.
It should be a choice, either way, by the businesses or the individual. I just don’t like them lying and trying to trick people.
I went to Tractor Supply the other day because when I drove by the door it said “masks required”. When I got in there most customers weren’t wearing one so I left and ordered what I needed online. I’m not forced to shop there.
Nobody should be forced either way by government. Businesses can make their own rules, either way, but don’t make false claims to get me in the door.
As usual, you wrap it up neatly and tie it with a bow.
The good news is that I actually know a few people under 40 who get it. There is hope.
We need more people like you to come to America! Don’t worry about trivial things like how you pronounce words - it’s the common-sense conservatism that matters most! :)
That was laugh-out-loud funny, though I can’t imagine any woman saying no to you, Bagster (*wink*). I feel bad for you. Bait-and-switch is one of the cruelest things women do to men.
thanks for that response.
Re: Scotch-Brite roll
How do you fasten them to your face?
As long as you don’t buy grah-ceries instead of groceries, and park on parkways and drive on driveways, you should be fine. Oh, and never get kittycornered.
:) ditto! there are still clocks to change...
