Betty LaRue Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I ordered a half-dozen or so masks from fine art America with my art on them. So far, so good. So yeah, stylish! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be permissible to use unapproved materials in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like FAA is printing the photos on the mask material...so the mask may or may not be imported but the printing is probably done on site or at a contracting facility.

I don’t go anywhere to have them on over 30 minutes, but I’m sure I can get a snootful of toxic waste in that time. And of course, cumulative, like sun exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no strangers in this world, just friends you have not met yet. However in your varied career and active life travelling the world I should think you have met most of them by now.😉 I know we have not met yet, if we had I am sure I would remember the meeting. Perhaps I will take a trip to Liverpool one day in the not too distant future to see if I can find you walking the streets. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First drink since I had a glass of wine over thanksgiving. I do love my margaritas but sometimes a year or two goes by before I have one. I bought some beer before Jeff came, and it is Michelob Ultra Infusions, which has lime and prickly pear cactus in it. Very light, crisp and refreshing. I did have a bottle of that a day or two before the margarita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 Imagine, tomorrow is July 1st. In the UK, we've all been in some kind of isolation for three months. The natives are restless. Allan, if you avoid alcohol, that's probably a good thing. I used to drink only 4 things: coffee, beer, wine, and water. This past winter here in Liverpool, I added brandy to the mix. I practice 16/8 intermittent fasting. That is I eat breakfast and lunch only. That's nothing to eat or drink at night except water. I used to drink 10 to 14 drinks a week. With the brandy and the lockdown, I'm up to about 21 drinks a week. The American medical community says that 21 drinks a week is where alcoholism begins. Hmm.

John Mitchell Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I never drank much to begin with, three or four drinks per week. However I am imbibing a bit more during the pandemic -- downing a therapeutic glass of wine or a beer almost every night with dinner. I've never liked hard liquor (margaritas excepted, of course), which is probably a good thing. If you think the natives are restless now, wait a few weeks.
