have gotten to where I HATE being in crowds - unless the crowd is there for me, like if we're playing or something.. but, with covid that won't be anytime soon.. I don't mind wearing the mask in public because it allows me a better chance at not being accosted by wha tI call earF'ers.. the people you mention who get in your face and ramble on for 3 straight hours about crap you have NO interest in.. Can't stand it.. The hair gives me away a lot, but with the mask on I've been able to dodge a few people..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
