You are right, JBen. That's the way it reads, and I would do like you said and just go visit her quietly. Kind of like going 85 in an 80kph zone.

Argument is not needed, any age heckler does not matter. They can be dealt with rather easily..lolQuote:

If your not willing to stand up for your rights and freedoms, why do you want to live in a free country?
If you want to listen to the lawmakers and stay home away from your family, but hit Costco for food, then to the gas station, beer store and go home to drink alone, go ahead.
Your lawmakers are drinking down south on a warm beach laughing at all their sheep they have herded in their barns..
If I remember correctly, "now is not the time to travel".
Off with the cameras, and Caribbean Vacation here we come....lol.
I still doing as normal. Spend time with family weekly as usual.
No beaches, not my thing, but heading to camp tomorrow for a week hunting instead. I will decide for myself what is essential for me.
As you should and I hope you enjoy camp. I just got back from mine. As for the stupid politicians, well there are stupid people in every group and politicians have more than most. I suspect most of them are regretting their decisions.Quote:

Both Canadaman and FishHog mentions valid points.
To each their own.
What bothers me in this COVID era is the death of the word"PLEASE" ,and the aggressiveness for standing up for COVID rules by every Tom-Dick and Harry.
Nowadays every one feels entitled to tell on the next person,with great agressiveness- in any store or institution(cashiers,"door guards" ,even shelf loaders-never mind the random idiot customer)
Who the heck they think they are?
Like I said, arguing is not needed in that type of example. Theres ways of responding without needing to speak, let alone argue regardless of age.Quote:

Sadly our politicians have no plans to stop living to hideout at home. Many have more than one home and travel as they please.
A far as a heckler yelling at me to stop doing something I am free to do by law, I would feel sheepish to cower and comply, to each their own
Sadly people are not even seeing their family, but meeting hundreds at the grocery store daily, weekly. Groups of 5 outside, but 500 inside Costco.
Sometimes following the rules may be doing more bad than good.

Main reason I brought my daughter in to it for some context/perspective.
Both her mother and I live 45-60min away. Whether she or I or us comply. It’s utterly ridiculous. That she can only have 1 “allowable visitor”.
Especially given neither of her parents, or a single friend, can or will visit every day, every other day, every few days.....
FFS she could in fact, get more social activity by joining 500 other people in a Costco line. But our oh so smart Drs and health professionals and politicians see no problems with that...
It’s one other “household”, not person, so it sounds like both you and your wife can visit....or your daughter can attend your residence.Quote:

So, as I’ve said it’s either one of her likewise single friends. Yes she has friends that are married, but...maybe her friends husband, or an elderly parent?.
Or my Ex (and her household where’s a child at risk).....
or my “household”. Where even I, I’m sure would be deemed moderate risk...
And I’m sure she’s “not alone” given the number of divorced people, single people out there who might have elderly parents, spouses, or children to think about.....
just because it says “household” doesn’t mean much.....
The risk factors are something you need to assess, as does your daughter. The Order however, allowed a person that lives alone to be in the company of “one” other “household”. So, that allowed a single parent that lived alone, to go have Christmas with a son or daughters household ....Quote:

1 household.
And each household could have 2-6 people. Each with elderly parents that are alone, and so on and so on..
The main point, is or was.
That people who live alone are allowed 1 visitor. Neither my Ex or I would go to see her with more than just us.
Or household if you prefer. And all it takes is 1 snitch..
Earlier I linked the mother that dropped her kids off with their grandmother.
But we can go join line up with “500” other people at Costco. Or hop on planes.
