    Pence's face is hilarious!!

    No, my arms aren't nearly long enough to be 6 feet away from someone's face in order to bump elbows.

    No. I would be more app to do a fist bump but the elbow is too odd.  Also a lot of people use their elbow to open public doors....so not sure it is as safe a some believe.

    Nope. I general, I'm still in isolation.

    But I did go out for a World Environment Day picnic today. We all kept our distances, which meant raising voices to hear one another.
    Our greeting were palms together with a small bow.

    We missed the hugs and kisses.

  • From the start I thought the elbow bump was a bad idea. We are supposed to cough or sneeze into our elbow so how would it be any better than a handshake?

    You can't touch your face with your elbow.










    .....or can you? 



    lol :)

  • If you cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm, the germs would likely travel to the part of the elbow that you use for the bump.

    Ok.

    You don't have to do it in your arm, though. You can cough and/or sneeze in your mask. That's what it's there for.

    I guess I tend to wave - - and "thumb's/thumbs up."

    (I think that guy in the gif is hot -- no, definitely not Trump -- the other guy. Forgive me for not recognizing the guy.)

    :)

    I was doing the air fist bang  - we would go  to do a fist bang but stop short then say POW.  But yesturday I had to give my friend  a good old fashioned hand shake because  he did  me a big favour. But  I will go back to the air fist bang thing because I don't want to take too many chances. Cheers!

    No.  I don't shake hands with people very often.  Today I just made a gesture like a handshake.
