Canada's top doctor says non-medical masks can help stop the spread of COVID-19.

HippieChick58 comments on Apr 11, 2020:

I made a bunch of masks for me, family members and some family associates. I wore mine when I went into Target to pick up a prescription (and found out they do deliver) and some other groceries. I offered some to coworkers, and they declined and scoffed (and yes I work with morons and mean girls.) I keep mine in my car and only use them when I am going from car to anyplace beside the office. After I wore one to Target I brought it into the kitchen, washed it with soap and hot water, then took it to the sewing room and steamed it with my iron. My employer (a hospital) is asking for homemade masks, but they had some hoops to jump through, the fabric could not be over a year old. I have fabric as old as my kids, and most of it I'm not sure exactly how old it is. So I did not make any for them. I did find I had a good amount of elastic in my stash, and I don't know how old that is either, but it still had stretch.

The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Nope, YOU are not a failure. You may have had some failures, haven't we all, but that doesn't get to define you. You've raised some children to adulthood, that is a success. Don't measure yourself by someone else's yardstick, find your own to measure yourself by. I'm 62, I got divorced about 10ish years ago. I am definitely not as well off financially as I was when I was married, but I have way more peace of mind. I have an "interesting" work history, some short tenures, and current job is on shaky ground, but I'm not a failure. I've been mostly employed most of my life, just not always gainfully. On the other hand, I have amazing, well adjusted kids, many interesting creative works that I have made. And the most important thought I have for you is this, and the caps are for emphasis. Tattoo this on your subconscious - FAILURE IS NEVER FINAL!!! You get up, dust your britches off, and take a step in a new direction. You're only a failure if you quit trying, except for dating sites.
