What are you going to do with all your covid masks when the pandemic is over? If it is ever over.

I’m going to save all mine and make a covid quilt…if I ever lean how to sew or knit or whatever skill you need to make a quilt. Or I might use them to smush spiders with instead of using paper towel to help save the environment.

    I have a friend who made me several custom-made masks for me - - with favorite cartoon characters on them. So, I'll keep those, probably.:)

    for some reason, I know the band Jimmy Eat World and I can't remember why. I looked up song titles and didn't recognize any by title. I'm wondering if you had posted other songs by them and I ended up liking them. I did enjoy listening to this one.
    :)

    Nice :) I have a few masks that were made for me too. I’ll be keeping those. I don’t really know any music by Jimmy Eats world. This song is a cover of an 80’s song originally by Teenage Fanclub. Some reason I like their version more than the original. I’ve probably posted this song and version before though so maybe that’s why you know them :)

    That might be it because I'm thinking I first heard of them here on the site. :)

    I have been throwing them away but your quilt idea inspired me to start recycling them. I am going to fill them up with a real light potting soil  - plant a pansie in each one and hang  them on my patio light line and a few tree branches. I kind of kicking myself for throwing my old ones away because I would have lots of hanging baskets by now. Cheers!

    I don't have any, I never had any, and I never will have any. I'm not a sheeple, and I'm not being fooled.

    Yeah, I think the whole mask thing is a government conspiracy against lipstick.

      Ok, Typhoid Mary, you plan to infect people with your disease-ridden used facemasks, right?

      “Implying”?  Remember, I’ve been married to you before (17 times), so I know what you have and don’t have. Go ahead with your lawsuit; you’re going to lose badly.

  • I'm saving them ... continue to use them in certain situations.  Besides preventing us from getting (and spreading) COVID, they've also prevented us from getting colds and flu. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at July 29, 2021 8:38 PM MDT

    Not a bad idea, I imagine many people will continue to use them.
