Just came back from my local Home Depot. I walked around for about 20 minutes, checking out their gardening supplies.

Then I heard the loudspeaker announce a "Code M". I was thinking, Geez, I hope nobody was having a serious emergency in the store.

I continued on walking, and was met my a young man asking if I needed a mask. I said, "No thanks" and went to check out.

That's when it dawned on me...
I WAS THE EMERGENCY!! 😲 An unmasked person walking alone in a non-crowded store is a freakin emergency now! I am deemed a danger to the public. My, how far we've fallen. 😞

**Please pray for me. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

🙏 I know how you feel. Another HD story. We are in TX however, many stores still have signs requiring a mask. Went to HD on Sunday. My husband and I begrudgingly both put on a mask to go in however, I noticed a couple buying plants that didn't have masks so I removed mine and walked in. I noticed most people had masks on but several didn't. I was getting some looks however, remained unmasked. Did some shopping and then when I was getting ready to check out I noticed that a man and a women (who were clearly not together) and had previously been masked, had removed their masks and were still shopping. Sometimes it just takes a few to get things started. 👍
