Looks great

Interesting! I'm not really an old soul. I don't have the same interests and hobbies as older people but I do resonate more with their attitudes. I'm kind of silly and obnoxious but really responsible about my finances and health.I'm almost 32 but 2 of my closest friends are ladies in their upper forties whose kids are in college. I consider myself pretty immature though. I was described as being 10 going on 30 as a kid and now I guess the opposite is true, 32 going on 10.
I always buy a 20-pound bag of rice and keep it in one of those. Also the dry dog food, but the wheels fell off that one :/. They're super useful for anything.
I wonder if that's where humans picked up that ritual by observing. But don't male elephants, even in the wild, have a higher mortality rate than the females from time of birth?Elephants even visit the graves of their dead.
I saw yesterday that the Orca mom who carried her dead calf for SEVENTEEN days is pregnant again! I wish her well!Katie M Good luck!!! You've got this! <3
In my animal behavior class, we watched a video about elephants. A mother lost her baby, but tried to carry/drag the baby as long as she could. Cue almost having a melt down during class. That was so heart wrenching to watch. It was so hard for her to move on and leave her lost child.
Who knows. I believe I gave away my privacy when I signed up for internet access years ago. About the mask, even if they don't feel it necessary, put it on. It's only for a few minutes in and out of the store. I wore a mask off and on before this pandemic because of seasonal allergies and it's not pretty to look at. I find it funny though the people that throw fits about wearing them though. At the least, can't they get online and look at the items from their browser? Most stores even have AR apps that you can see how it looks in your home (furniture). And medical really is no excuse. Sorry. My Mom suffers COPD and she puts hers on without complaint. I suffer sever claustrophobia and I wear mine. I can't take vaccines or any kind of med. I got messed up terribly with migraine meds years ago and am terrified to try now. It was at point that I double over in pain every bite I took So gave up meds that stopped. It's terrible when you wind up petrified to eat because you know the pain that will follow. Baby aspirin and topical meds is all I can do. So I have to rely on herd immunity.
I don't get why people are being so ridiculous about this mask thing. Politically, I lean more conservative. But the paranoia surrounding masks is just ridiculous. Someone made a post on a local Facebook page complaining that menards wouldn't let her shop because she doesn't wear a mask. No medical reason - she just doesn't wear one.
I only leave the house to take the baby to her checkups or use Walmart's grocery pickup service. I order everything online, park, and they load it in my car. No contact. It's a safety thing, not a political thing. I wear a mask in the pediatrician's office and yeah, they suck, but I understand the reason. And people saying the vaccine is an excuse to microchip people? Why would they bother? Everyone has a cell phone. If Bill Gates wanted to track us, he can through our phones and we'd pay for the privilege. It's laughable.
Just wear the damn masks, stay home except for essential business, and this crap might end before Ali is supposed to graduate high school.
Ok, stepping off my soapbox now.
