Or slip the twist tie into the top hem of the mask by cutting a small hole in the hem at one end.

There are lots of hacks of YouTube to stop your mask from fogging up your glasses, such as taping the mask down across the bridge of your nose ...




or tucking in a tissue under the top hem of the mask:

Worse as time goes on and weather hotter. She is manager at large car dealership works long hours 10 at least per day and before she was able to take off mask in her private office but people are starting to get tested and more cases and she has to wear constantly now.

She said her throat hurts after wearing for hours. She has tried a bunch of different ones and all the same.

I think this has to be happening all over, people patient the first few months and now don't want to accept this as normal life.

My mask has two layers plus a pocket that I have several layers of shop towels in. I’m happy to be relatively safe but it’s not anything I’d wear if I didn’t have to, that’s for sure.

I’m glad your daughter is being safe, careful, and responsible despite the discomfort.

I can stay in that type all day under temperatures in the 70s (typical for cooled spaces). Outside in Florida heat, I can wear one for 2-3 hours, if I am just puttering around and not exerting.

9. They have injured my hand-made "Lock Him Up" earrings.

They were the only earrings I have worn for over 3 years and I hate the "fashion don't" aspect of it but they have has been my own political statement and I have the theory that if I wear them people will think it is OK to hate him in public (supermarkets, etc). They are large and hang so they get caught in the mask's straps. I have had to retire them for now.

I sort of compensated by writing in big, black Sharpie letters "tRump" on my mask with a big red slash (my big, red Sharpie this time) through his name inside a red circle. I get as many "that's great" responses as my earrings did so my political message is still coming through.

My phone has one but it's not connected to the internet.. not a smart phone. I'm always using it when I text to family & friends.. 'cause this is where we are now & look to be, for who knows how long, in the future.

I was actually hoping someone would post one here from their phone and here you are!!😷

It's so easy to copy and paste yours.. I'll keep it in my journal so I can post it when I need it!

Thank you! you got me a mask!

Yeah, that would be grand if DU had some MASKS, too!

The different phones often have variations of that but I know I have used it a lot on mine when texting!
