Well like if I'm at Walmart or the grocery store, I love smiling at everyone and not real often but once in awhile someone will look like they want to just chat a little bit and we do. I specially enjoy when I see some older person that I think really looks good for their age and their hair looks beautiful and all, I don't feel bashful to tell them so. And I really do mean it. I think it's important to let those people know they look great and some of those are handicapped and it just doesn't matter to me what they look like in the face. It's just fun to say hi and smile to people.

@LadyGrace I think what bothered me about the Covid rules in stores was that people no longer were approachable. Everyone was standing way back from one another while waiting in line at stores etc. That sort of isolation doesn’t make for a healthy society…it was demoralizing in fact. I like to smile and say a few positive things to anyone who seems open for it. Those little things like that can be so encouraging after a person has retired and is alone most of the day.

@LadyGrace I remember when the Covid fear was being built up before those mandates began. I was in Walmart in the clothing area and was trying to stifle an allergy sneeze. But had to give way and I covered it by putting face in my shirt. A lady in the next aisle who couldn’t see me said “God bless you.” And I thanked her. But after the mandates started I didn’t dare even do that. People were so paranoid. Not too long ago I sneezed once again in the store and someone told me God bless you. Now they are wanting to start up with the fear & panic again. They can go jump in the lake.
