I have a couple metal ones that I keep in my purse & car just in case.
We do now......
And I hate those POS paper straws that last about 2-3 seconds before they get soggy and become TOTALLY useless.

We are and have had the healthiest year in our lives.I would be really, really disappointed in anyone on TB adhering to mask mandates.

Unvaccinated, still distancing, still sanitizing. As old folks it is an easy choice.
I was verbally accosted at Costco for mask wearing.
I told the senior citizen I just got back from Texas and my brother knew the monkey pox patient.
The senior citizen scurried away.
I like the masks in that I can mutter and and frown and no one is the wiser.
Plus I don’t have to pluck my old lady chin hairs.
And yes, we wear out masks correctly.
A few days ago, I found the shoes I prefer and wear daily (slip-ons) on the Wally website. Ordered two pairs, and they were delivered two days later. I'm set!Boots and shoes per the shoe store we visited today.

I get my 18650 batteries from Battery Hookup. You will have to cut the cases apart to get to the cells inside but the price is right and so far the batteries have been excellent. I have built many 12v power cells with their surplus cells and just keep on buying more.
I ordered N-95 masks for everyone in my extended family. First time I have ever felt moved to do so. I also ordered the silly paper masks that don't work but do get me past Karen at the store. Again, enough for all my family and extra to hand out to elderly people in need.I would be really, really disappointed in anyone on TB adhering to mask mandates.
One has a different perspective once bitten by the Rona. I know that I do.I ordered N-95 masks for everyone in my extended family. First time I have ever felt moved to do so.

My thoughts also but probably just for the unvaccinated.This next lock down is going to be stay in your home. Do not go outside or you will be arrested. There isn't going to be any shopping, going to the pharmacy, or outside for just a little exercise.
That would turn the country into a smelter.My thoughts also but probably just for the unvaccinated.
I did the same. There is one pair of shoes in the whole world I can wear. Stretchy athletic shoes from Orthofeet.A few days ago, I found the shoes I prefer and wear daily (slip-ons) on the Wally website. Ordered two pairs, and they were delivered two days later. I'm set!
We are back now doing the same thing. Just hope the several months I saw a Dr weekly doesn't do us in. I also have DH wear gloves when he goes to the PO and bank. And anybody accosts us I'll knock them on their ass. Chimps ain't the only ones that can chimp.We are and have had the healthiest year in our lives.

I just don’t understand people actually going out of their way to say anything like that to others!We are and have had the healthiest year in our lives.

PLEASE if your putting a can opener in your car, use a real one, they fed us out of cans usually 6 days a week, these little things are a pain, ( they do work great tho) take a lot of effort and a older person with bad fingers wont be able to use it,
They are being made in China now and are NOTHING like the old ones>>>>I have had two in my entire life and they worked wonderfully, however the last one I got is about useless>>>>from China.
if you dont tave a can opener, rub the crimped end of the can on kind of smooth concrete, like a parking lot stop, back and forth will wear off the crimp. but watch carefully you dont dump the contents on the ground.

Well, then, you are disappointed in me.I would be really, really disappointed in anyone on TB adhering to mask mandates.

My wife is immunocompromised, and suffers enough with her cancer.
I do my best to keep myself free of any and all viruses - not just Covid - so I wear both a mask AND a face shield AND disposable nitrile gloves when I go into stores or other places where germs may be harboring.
I do NOT want to carry any germs back to my wife, if I can help it.
I understand where you are coming from, and I do not demand that you mask up to protect me or my wife.
But I do request that folks who choose not to wear masks respect those of us who DO choose to wear them.
You never know from afar if the person you are critisizing might have a legitimate need to mask up that goes beyond blindly following the crowd.
Have a manual can opener.
How about a collection of swiss army knives?TWO!

<delete.... as I am forcing myself to be more careful what I post on the public side of the forum>My thoughts also but probably just for the unvaccinated.
Tape them to the top of cans, followed by a snap-on lid, especially #10 cans of FD.For those that do not know, this is a military P-38 can opener. There is one that is slightly larger that is a P-51.
They are very cheap, and can be stashed in almost any size kit.
My wife has cancer,and although she is marginally ambulatory right now, that is not likely to continue.
She does NOT know this - but I bought a very nice wheel chair off of Craigslist awhile back, and hid it in the storage shed that she no longer goes in. When she does get to the point of needing it, there might not be one available.
I also bought her a slew of childrens coloring books, and extra boxes of crayons. She does not like the adult coloring books. She says they are too tedious to color. She wants something simple and relaxing, especially on days when she is not feeling good. She prefers the simple to color children’s books.
You might not have a wife with cancer, but if you have a family member with any kind of special needs, now is the time to address that.
You are an awesome partner.My wife has cancer,and although she is marginally ambulatory right now, that is not likely to continue.
She does NOT know this - but I bought a very nice wheel chair off of Craigslist awhile back, and hid it in the storage shed that she no longer goes in. When she does get to the point of needing it, there might not have been one available, hence I got it early.
