We set sail into the weekend with a bit of humor and some light hearted fun with these videos. The one above from The Babylon Bee just had me chuckling, half in amusement and the other half in total agreement, because of the accuracy of it all.

My imagination drifted for a second and wondered what would happen if I posted an actual "masker's anonymous meeting" memo on our building bulletin. So many neighbors of mine woke up one day with a terrible phobia of the face and the exhaust that comes out of our little nostrils, I wondered if they would even recognize it as a joke. Oh my...perhaps it's not so funny when I think about the people who would probably attend a maker's anonymous meeting if there was one. I had a friend in the building who refused to meet indoors when the hogwash began. Despite the "stay home alone together" rule that was in place, she wanted to catch up. So we met at the rooftop where she came with her mask, a mask for me (just in case), sanitizer, cigarettes, and a glass of wine (because, you know, health!). We're slowly getting into the topic at hand and as she's lighting up her cigarette she drops her sanitizer on the floor. Oh no! The germs on the sanitizer bottle! What do we do?! But my friend is ever so clever! She smiled between her sip of wine and proudly whipped out her well-thought out solution from her back pocket - a sanitizer for the sanitizer! Wow. Without hesitation she slathered her hands, arms, and elbows with the life saving, germ destroying, home made sanitizer and then proceeded to bathe the bottle of fallen sanitizer with... more sanitizer. I couldn't stop laughing when this was happening because I was sure she was putting on a show for me. Sadly, the end of that night was the end of our friendship. She just couldn't be around or respect some one who was so selfish and so ignorant of the science. I thought the same.

Fast forward to April 2022 - it's so nice to see everyone's faces. Even my "seriously bought in" friends like my rooftop pal is enjoying the air sans suffocation device and the people who cursed me out for stepping in the elevator with a face is carelessly packing themselves in like sardines with the fellow humans. I wonder... did they attend a masker's anonymous meeting and finally get the treatment they desperately needed? Perhaps they came across one of Peggy's videos (like the one below) and got a dose of common sense and courage? Or maybe they ran into one of our Healthy Americans at the store and listened to them reciting the laws to the clerk?

All joking aside, we've all been through a lot the past two years. Everyone; on that side and on this side. Why not sprinkle in some humor and give a chuckle or two as we continue to stand our ground in this very serious fight against tyranny. Laughter instantly soothes us and a comical spin on events can even take a sad memory of a withered friendship and turn it into a funny story to share. It can turn turmoil into peace, pain to hope, an ending to a new beginning, anger into compassion, egotism to humility... Next time you feel yourself boiling over because of opposition to your beliefs, just think of them coming right out of a maskers, vaxxers, & boosters unlimited anonymous meeting. They're like newborn babies just learning how to breathe all by their bare-faced selves using their natural, God-intended, bodily mechanisms. Be gentle, be warm. Breathe and just laugh.

Now let me go and put up these posters!
