Look up, "John Menard, foul mouth".

You impress me as one of those people that have 100's of stickers on their rear bumper. You don't speak for anyone but your self. Another Hero/Narcissist isn't needed. Talk to the mirror.

At one time, there were a lot of small rural stores around here who had signs posted.......We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service To Anyone, and No Shirt No Shoes-No Service. I knew of several instances where they actually had to do just that. That was the store owners right, and if you didn't like it, then shop somewhere else.

I don't particularly like the mask thing, but if a store requires it, then that's their right to do so. If you get all pizzy about it, then go somewhere else. You don't own that store.....they do.

Here in Kentucky, the governor has mandated masks to be worn in all public places. I don't like him, or his liberal agenda, but it ain't the end of the world to have to wear one for a little while.............and it ain't worth getting your knickers in knot over.

I know some of you will come back with the argument that government has no right to tell us to wear a mask, and I tend to agree. I also believe in choosing your battles, and this is not one of them, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm all for personal freedoms as long as it doesn't effect the personal freedom or safety of others. I choose to wear a seatbelt and a helmet if on a motorcycle, but support the rights of others who may choose not to do so. In those and many other cases doing something stupid only effects you. And that is your choice. But drinking and driving, texting and driving or any other form of impaired or distracted driving will kill and injure others.

Wearing the mask doesn't protect YOU from catching the virus, it prevents people who have it, and don't know it, from spreading it to others. People who choose not to wear a mask in crowded areas should be treated the same as people who text and drive. You are putting others at risk and hurting the chances for a quicker economic recovery.

Stop being a pussy, man up and wear the mask.

Masks have been scientically proven to significantly help protect OTHERS from airborne droplets carrying virus. That's fact, not political conjecture. If we weren't such a self-centered, selfish, me...me...me society in general, we would recognize this as a medical issue and not a political issue and wear a mask voluntarily to help slow virus spread and protect others. I started wearing a mask before it became a mandate so no one is taking any freedom from me.

For those than shun the mask, consider this;

Unless you're retired (which I suspect more here are than aren't), Covid has a major impact all business in one way or another. Talented, hardworking people that are solid at their jobs are being furloughed or laid off with many businesses closing forever. We're all eating the same szchit sandwich and want nothing more than to put this thing in the rearview mirror and to return to some sort of normalcy.

So, if wearing a mask is even 1% better than not, are we that [bleep] narcissistic that even the slightest inconvenience to our comfort or "rights" isn't worth the effort - either emotionally or physically to others?
For every one swinging-dick that thinks masks are a joke - there are 10 people that are scared szchitless about this subject.

So if wearing a mask isn't for you in places that ask you to wear them - consider falling less in love with yourself and see the wee bigger picture beyond you.

The rebates are bothersome. So I don’t. Lol. But if I can’t bring my kids in their store, I can’t go to the store. It’s one thing with the older kids. They can sit in the truck. But I’m not leaving a two year old...who has become my shadow (and I love it) in the car.

His high-handed manner of running the company was detailed in a 2007 feature story for Milwaukee Magazine written by Mary Van de Kamp Nohl that I edited. The story reported that Menard’s managers had to sign agreements to be personally penalized for things that go wrong. For instance, having 15 carts in the parking lot drew a $10 fine. And the fine was $100 per minute if they opened a store late.

Managers were forbidden from building their own homes, to ensure they couldn’t steal any building materials from Menard’s. And Menard hired private investigators to check whether employees who undertake even minor home-improvement projects were using pilfered supplies.

Menard was aggressively anti-union and had a policy that managers’ pay would be cut by 60 percent if their store became unionized, former managers said. And all managers had to sign an agreement requiring them to go to arbitration – not the courts – if they had a dispute with the company. “Moreover, they’d have to pay their own attorney’s fees and half the cost of the arbitrator, even if Menards was found at fault,” the story reported.

On that weekend, Menard “demanded that Mrs. Hilbert join both him and his wife (Ms. Obiad) for sex after her husband went to bed,” according to the lawsuit. Tomisue returned to her bedroom and told her husband of Menard’s advances. “Mr. Hilbert believed that Mr. Menard’s judgment was impaired because of alcohol, that he could not be serious, and he would likely forget about it following a good night’s sleep,” the lawsuit recounts.

But over the next two months, the suit contends, Menard made more requests that Tomisue join him and his wife for sex, including two offers to travel to Wisconsin, all of which she rejected. Menard’s conduct “constitutes an invasion of Mrs. Hilbert’s human dignity and human worth” and has caused her “severe emotional distress,” the suit charges. The case is expected to go to trial in April 2016. Expect plenty of reporters to cover it.

Driving 5mph has been proven to DRAMATICALLY lower the number of traffic fatalities. You pushing for that or are you still a me, me, me type that drives 55?

I hope every narcissistic gun owner out there turns in their guns, even it only makes everything 1% safer.

I also hope all the narcissistic drivers out there lobby their legislators to lower the speed limit EVERYWHERE to 5mph. Do you know how many lives you could save by only driving 5mph? So if driving slower isn't for you, consider falling less in love with yourself an see the wee bigger picture beyond you.


Remember, if it only saves one child's life, it's worth it!
