That’s right! Do not pay any attention to the Mandates, be they Federal, State, Local, or School level. Just put them out of your mind.

You are right to think that your battle with Covid-19 is personal. Just like it was personal when you were a kid and you got that smallpox vaccine (I bet most of you still have that faint scar on your shoulder where they kept sticking you with that needle). And, it was personal when they gave you that sugar cube with the polio vaccine.

Think for a moment, where would the world be today without those two vaccines. How many millions would have died, would still be dying?

Now, do the math. Count the vast number of those who have not taken the vaccine shots who are now on respirators in ICUs across the nation. To them, Covid-19 is real personal. It is real personal for the hundreds of thousands in our country who have already lost loved ones to this pandemic.

If not for yourself, make it personal to get the vaccine for your family, your friends, your community.

For reasons I cannot understand, my grandson did not take the time to get the vaccine, and now he, his fiancée and their two year old daughter have all tested positive for Covid-19. He really regrets not getting the vaccine now. For me, that is real personal!

Rational people do not need mandates to do the right thing, they step up and make it personal.

So, FORGET THE MANDATES, make it personal. ❤️

That's because it costs cash to kiln dry lumber and mill it to standard dimensions. People have been building stuff with green, rough cut lumber for 1000's of years. Most builders find it is much better to pay for kiln dried lumber milled to standard sizes. Moreover, green lumber rough cut to 2x4 won't stay there for long. The size will immediately change to almost random dimensions after cutting, not to mention serious twisting, cracking and checking over time. Jerry thinks 1/32" is a problem. He'd love using green, rough cut lumber I bet...
