    Mrs Salty and I had a friend over on Monday for a 4th of July cookout -
    Donna has been friends with Mrs Salty for well over 20 years, as they worked together for many years.
    In fact, Donna was the maid of honor at our wedding.

    Before I go on - will mention this
    About 10 years ago - Donnas husband left her (and then divorced)
    They had 5 kids - and over the past 5 years - the kids want nothing to do with mom.


    For the 2-3 hours that Donna was here - she was talking nothing about all these theories.
    She is extremely right wing. She was talking about how the Chinese virus was a plot of the rich and famous to control the world, Doctors are leading us astray - We should not use sunscreen or wear sunglasses.
    And then she told us that by 1 Sep 21 - Trump will be reinstated as President.

    I was telling Mrs Salty that Donna is using these theories to replace the family she lost.
    Would you agree? What other reasons are there for folks to believe these extremist ideals.

    I agree with all of it except the Trump part. Research UV lenses and skin Cancer. The studies are quite credible. I don't wear sunscreen. Don't wear sunglasses unless I am driving a boat.

    Rarely ever. I know the windshield blocks UV, and such......
    I am just not in habit of wearing them. Quit wearing them a while and your eyes adjust to dealing with light.

    It’s difficult to say why she believes it, though the time line might correlate.

    Curious if she mentioned whether she’s seeing someone? Sometimes people embrace the theories of folks they are involved with.

    peace to you

    No, she did not say whether she is or not - but I assume she is not.

    I have not been wearing sunglasses for a good bit - thus the reason, last week, I went out to purchase a pair! (usually get the flippers)
