Nice link, I went there.  I need to breathe.  Which one did you order?  Many choices.  I read you got the anti fog one.  I can't see so well anymore. Would you mind?  Then I saw being able to order, shield or head gear separate.  Just order the most expensive?  Thank you in advance.

@LegalAmerican

Buy the OMNIShieldâ„¢ Clear Face Shield - Anti-fog - K3751-1.

You most likely don't do any grinding or heavy duty briar whacking,and it is anti-fogging.

The headgear on the all is the same. The different prices are based on different shield options. Shields are easily changed. Takes maybe 15 seconds if you are slow.

Yeah, I came into work one morning and the flag was flying upside down.  There's a phone direct to Security at the door where I used a card to open the door, and I picked it up.  I asked Security, "OK, what's the emergency?"  The guy said, "Wut?"  "The American Flag is flying upside down, and that's the distress signal.  Can I open the door?"  "Oh crap!  Yeah, we'll fix it!"

Sheit. Fer Chisakakes, who doesn't know how to fly a freakin' flag?

I was at the local grocery store last week,and it was really raining hard when I was ready to leave. Myself and several others were standing inside the entrance waiting for the rain to slack off,and evidently the store manager told a employee that was maybe 18 years old to grab an umbrella and escort customers to their cars to keep them from getting wet.

Good plan,huh?

Not really. He came up to the woman standing next to me and very politely asked her if he could escort her to her car to keep her from getting wet. She said "Yes",so he pushed the button on the umbrella and pushed it all the way to the top. Went past the normal stop,and the umbrella looked like an upturned bowl.

So he says "The umbrella is broken,so i am sorry,but I will not be able to escort you to your car." I told him "No problem,give it to me and I will show you how to fix it."

He got mad or scared,I am not sure which,and backed away. I guess the manager was watching,so he came up and took the umbrella away and  showed him how to fix it,and then told the guy to walk people to their cars.

I admit,I had never seen anyone who couldn't figure out how to work an umbrella before,and didn't even imagine they existed and were left to roam free.

When an idiot Hispanic intentionally hoists the flag upside down it is a sign of disrespect. I went back and reread my post and it still is clear to me, however you are quite confusing.

You did not say he was an hispanic doing that.  You said you asked him if putting Mexican flag upside down would be disrespectful.  Just another example of flag.  DOES NOT SAY HE WAS A HISPANIC.  I can't read your mind. Re-read your original post.  Why so upset?  I didn't know you hired illegals.  And my response was,  that upside American flag means DISTRESS.  What is confusing?  I don't want to fight with you.

maybe should specify has to do with your upside down flag
True story, I had to have my managers observe the person putting the flag up in the morning after having the police arrive to ask what the emergency was because an idiot raised the flag upside down and it happened several times. I asked the person if it was okay to fly the Mexican flag upside down and they said no it would be disrespectful, I got the problem solved when I told him the next time he disrespected the American flag he would be histor


Legal American post;
I thought American flag upside down means.....DISTRESS in America.  We are in distress.  Not about disrespect.

@LegalAmerican

One other thing I like about this type of face covering is that is someone sneezes or coughs in your direction,your whole face is protected 100 percent. Nothing is going to get through that plastic face shield.

You WILL breathe that stuff through a cloth mask,though,not to mention get it on your hands when you touch your face.

I spent the afternoon with an octogenarian with a compromised health issue.

I had a cloth mask with a charcoal filter on the entire time.

Yes, I was miserable and hated it but I did it.

Well our Independence Day shindig is on schedule for tomorrow. Little smaller than usual, my liberal sister and hers stayed home hiding under the bed... But my brother and his are coming up around the lake, even as we speak... All the way from Nashville, and we are gonna have a blast tomorrow.

And not a damn mask in sight.

Get one of the hard plastic face masks that I recommended. Protects you against sneezes and coughs,and doesn't restrict your breathing.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Here’s a dose of reality...anything and I mean ANYTHING that @Jazzhead says conservatives should do is 180deg out of phase with what conservatives should actually do.  The quintessential broken clock “conservative”

Thanks for the bump.   And if I'm right just twice a day,  then this is one of those times.  Here in New Jersey,  the Governor had given restaurants the green light to reopen with indoor table service on July 2.    Folks had spent money to reconfigure their facilities to make them safe,  hire staff and acquire inventory.   A couple of days ago Governor Murphy suspended restaurant re-openings "indefinitely" and basically just put a whole lot of working people in truly dire straights. 

And it wasn't on the basis of New Jersey data.   He was reacting to Covid spikes in Texas,  and photos of idiots like you preening around in crowds without masks. 

Look, if you want to make sure the economy fails to rebound, and the President is defeated,  just go right ahead and insist you'll wear no mask.    I say to heck with Gov. Murphy's ignorant petty fascism,  and to everybody else who is seeking to politicize this pandemic.   No businessman wants his customer to get sick.   I wear a mask for the people, sir, the working people who've been scattered to the wind these last four months.

@Jazzhead
Here in my state 0.5% of the population have been infected...TOTAL.
0.011% have passed away.   That’s 1/10 of 1%! All the available data shows that it is not nearly as deadly as once feared.  Do you advocate for a mask, etc, for the seasonal flu?  Why not?   I agreed with the shutdown, etc three months ago when we didn’t know anything. Now we do.

My mom uses one of those because of oxygen. I don’t go out too much, that I really need one to wear it a lot. To be honest, I don’t think I don’t think anyone really is comfortable wearing one,

@sneakypete

But I have bought a real pretty floral mask and that makes me feel happy.

@Gefn

I am glad it makes you happy as long as you understand it does absolutely nothing to protect YOU.

You wear masks to protect others.

I prefer the helmets with hard plastic shields because I have COPD,and the helmets allow me to breath as well as I am able to breathe. Which ain't saying a lot,but when you are gasping for breath,a little means a lot.

I have an experiment for all y'all... An exercise...

Wear your mask long enough to get it wet from your breath... About 10-15 minutes.
Light up a smoke, stand in front of a mirror, and with your mask in place, EXHALE.

Prove it to yourself.

Censored: A Review Of Science Relevant To COVID-19 Social Policy And Why Face Masks Don’t Work

Quote
Denis Rancourt, PhD, has published over 100 peer-reviewed studies in his career, but ResearchGate choose to censor and remove this paper because it didn’t fit the narrative of the Great Panic of 2020 over COVID-19. Such censorship proves the existence of an alternative agenda.

Again, this underscores the Technocrat methodology of shaming, ridiculing and censoring anybody that comes forth with real science that refutes their pseudo-science. ⁃ TN Editor
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
