Muh Freeedumbs!

 

Other than getting massage, having my hair done whether it's a cut and color or just a cut, is the most intimate thing I do in public with someone I'm not related to.

 

Going to the dentist is a bit more intimate, no?

 

True. Forgot about that.

 

Annual physical, too. Jesus if I didn't have to do those...

 

Stipulated that the gyno shoving his hands inside my body is more intimate than a haircut. But when you think about everyday things, when you're out shopping or eating or running errands, getting a haircut is pretty intimate.

 

True, true. I'm going to the dentist on the 29th. I assume that they'll test temperature and O2 levels before they'll even let you back in the chair.

 

My kids had a previously scheduled dentist appointment today and we decided to keep it. They came out and got them in the parking lot, everyone in masks, temp checks, staff in full protection gear including face shields (definitely not normal at this office) and then kids were brought back out through a different door. The kids said they weren't even allowed to put their hands in the after-appointment toy bin. I was not allowed into the building. No one else had an appointment during that time, at least from what I could tell from the parking lot action (we have four kids and all had appointments, so I'm guessing on the numbers measure we about took up that whole time slot). Seems about as safe as you can make it.

 

My dentist has been closed since the SIP started. Just got a notice my cleaning has been cancelled. No clue yet when it will be rescheduled. Cali will start to relax Monday but I'm not sure what that means for dentists.

 

Dentists just started here this week (Colorado). I think they are still trying to fine tune it all, but this seemed to work OK. I had one two weeks ago cancelled. I haven't tried to reschedule yet, but probably will here soon if all looks OK. My dentist office is also doing the get you from the parking lot thing.

 

There are likely a lot of people, in a lot of different types of industries, that are feeling like that right now. Who wouldn't rather make more, while not working at all, or not working as much?

The problem, though, is that unemployment benefits cannot go on indefinitely. They won't go on indefinitely.

And, there are many workers who are ineligible for unemployment, or only receive a specially designated stimulus portion of it that is only being given under the current special circumstances.

 

The turn your car radio up to drown out that strange noise gambit. That always works.
