I have been reading some of your posts & they are educational, easy to read, often funny. So thanks for them. I signed up in late 2018 but didn't go on this site very much until I came back in mid-summer & particularly w/ this pandemic I was thinking could be a good place to share, maybe laugh & spend worthwhile time. Am a bit "tired" w/ wearing masks but feel it's the best thing we have right now to protect ourselves & others. Have you tried any of the Etsy masks? Kathy

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the kind words. I've never bought any masks because I make them - have done several different designs and give them to family and friends. I have also donated many to the local school districts and senior outreach. It's my little bit that I can do during the pandemic while staying isolated.

@katiejo59, I agree with what you wrote about the value of these forums, even more now with the pandemic turning all lives upside down.

Here is a link to my favorite mask ordered from Etsy: it is lightweight and comfortable, has a pocket for replaceable filters and the best advantage is the velcro strap that once fastened behind head, allows one to remove ear straps while not completely removing the mask. I placed a second order for this one: This is the one I ordered and highly recommend for comfort and easy breathing: $13 https://www.etsy.com/listing/813425809/purple-dare-active-wear-sports-face-mask?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=nylon+facemask+with+velcro+strap&ref=sc_gallery-1-5&plkey=4cd3efd9022d888fc821702318cced1d3c104213%3A813425809&bes=1
