My oldest brother married into a family of PROUD rednecks years ago. His wife was well-educated and pretty bright, but not her parents.

They were shallow and covered themselves with jewelry. Money was the only measure of "success" or "intelligence" to them.

My brother was with his wife at their home when they started watching "Jeopardy!" on TV. My brother answered about 90% of the questions (you know what I mean) because the categories were more science and technology-based than normal, but he also had pretty broad knowledge about many subjects (except for art).

So they accused him of seeing that episode previously. He replied it was a NEW episode. They insisted that he was cheating somehow, because he couldn't be that smart! He answered that he was an electrical engineer, working at Cray Research (supercomputers) and his IQ was very high while he also read books constantly! They flat-out called him a LIAR!

My brother also told me that they thought our entire family was total TRASH because we weren't rich, and clearly we were stupid too. WTF?! They were both poorly-educated idiots who moved here from some "holler" in Kentucky!

I asked my brother how they could POSSIBLY think he was stupid, and he replied that it takes some basic intelligence to gage the intelligence of others.

The good news is that they're both long-DEAD! Lol! Otherwise, I'm certain they would both vote for Trump.

I see enough unmasked -- or "dick-nose" masked -- people at the grocery store, when I go once-a-week for essentials.

Yeah, I get it: my glasses used to fog up everytime I'd exhale, but there's an eyeglass defogger spray out there. Problem solved, and that argument is no longer valid.

After 4:20, I tuned out. That voice makes fingernails on a blackboard sound like a symphony.

And I think she needs to change her gym membership. From Planet Fitness to Planet Witless.

Wed Aug 12, 2020, 02:48 PM

bordered by walls and plastic sheathing, containing a mix of off-brand gym equipment, with a sign over the doorway saying "This space for ignorant, maskless assholes," and require the fools to wear a mask as they enter and as they leave. Better still, have a separate door to the asshole room so there need be no contact between them and normal people. Same for restaurants, supermarkets, etc.

She's a sad example of a spoiled, willful little Veruca, with an annoying voice to match a very annoying (and repulsive) personality.

They're self-indulgent, entitled, bratty jerks with no consideration for anyone but themselves. They don't deserve special treatment or special areas set up for them. These businesses are private property and have absolute authority to refuse entry to people who put their staff and other customers at risk. The jerks can either comply with the requirements or get thrown the fuck out. I am so sick of all of them!

On edit: Your idea is a good one, but I don't think the gym should go to any trouble whatsoever, even insultingly, to accommodate them.

And it is a private company that can set their own rules. If she does not wish to abide by that, she can end her membership with the gym.

A video showed her creating drama at a BMV in Mentor OH recently. She recorded herself as she argued and walked through the place, spewing her droplets towards everyone.

She cut the recording shortly after a bunch of customers started raising hell with her.

She was there with her mask-wearing boyfriend in that one, pointing out to the audience that he was her boyfriend over a dozen times (it seemed). The boyfriend told her at one point that the cops would show up, and she shouldn't be doing this AGAIN!

We've got all types in this state. From very smart to very stupid, and everything in between.

This is private property and we can impose any requirements we want regardless of the Governors mandate.

If that workout facility requires everyone to wear masks, too damn bad, wear a mask or get kicked out.

Wed Aug 12, 2020, 11:37 PM
Aug 2020

THIS PRIVATELY OWNED FACILITY REQUIRES THAT YOU WEAR A MASK TO BE ON THE PREMISES.
IF YOU REFUSE TO WEAR THIS MASK, YOU ARE A TRESPASSER.
TRESPASSERS WILL BE REQUESTED TO VACATE THE PREMISES.
TRESPASSERS WHO REFUSE TO VACATE THE PREMISES WILL BE PROSECUTED.

Of course there can be some deviation in the wording, but the point is that this is civil law 101. (If the state doesn't have a trespassing law, trespassers can be sued in a civil suit.) This has nothing to do with the Governor's mandate.

Did they ever get her out? I couldn't take more than 3 minutes.

She's correct about the Ohio mandate making an exception for exercising:

The individual is actively engaged in exercise in a gym or indoor facility so long as six or more feet of separation between individuals exist.


Which I think is foolish, BUT...

There were plenty of businesses that required a mask to enter THEIR premises even before the statewide mandate, and they can still enforce it!
