Original 'Rosie the Riveter' makes masks to fight COVID-19:
At age 94, Mae Krier is back on the front lines — hard at work, helping her country.
One of the nation's original "Rosie the Riveters" employed by Boeing in Seattle during World War II, she built B-17 and B-29 bombers to help support the war effort decades ago.
Now she's fighting a different war, as her still nimble fingers turn out face masks to prevent spread of the deadly coronavirus.
"People say to me, "You helped win WWII and now you are helping our country win this battle over this virus. These are nice things to hear," Krier said.
She makes the mask like the red polka dot bandanas she also makes to remind people of the Rosies, those women who toiled in manufacturing plants with their heads wrapped in bandanas so their hair wouldn't get tangled in the machinery they used to make supplies for the military serving overseas.
They were depicted by a World War II era poster of "Rosie the Riveter" created by J. Howard Miller in 1943.

Yes, I can read Koine and I know what aionios and kolasis (and for that matter, aidios and timoria) mean :) I, too, took the position of (eventual...) Annihilationism from a reading of the entire Bible, though I'm aware of people who derive Universalism from it and can see the logic in their thinking even if I disagree with the conclusion.
When my body dies, as near as I can tell, there will be a life review and quite a lot of decisions to be made. I suspect I will spend very little or no time "in Hell," but may be encouraged very strongly to reincarnate. This I will refuse wholeheartedly; I plan to become what, with apologies to Dio, I think of as a "holy diver" and assist souls who've fallen into their own Hells.
As to the rest? Don't insult me with that "God is Love" bullshit. Actions speak louder than words, and this Yahweh character would not know Love with either a capital or a lower-case L if it smacked him. The Bride of Christ is a battered wife. Once I had that realization, like the proverbial bolt from the blue, everything suddenly made sense. If your God exists, he is a blaspheming demon, a being claiming to be God without possessing the attributes and properties necessary for this to be the case, and with an odd, egoistic hunger for worship and acknowledgment.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
