Sometimes they even go to the store and return with cleaning items and paper towels for me! Someone once said on my blog that it is a bore to try to explain yourself to people who will never understand.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724127668983231150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-24512778821664677332010-04-29T17:05:08.269-04:002010-04-29T17:05:08.269-04:00@Erin - oh goody!

There are individuals who need to avoid picking up cold and flu germs due to weak immune systems, etc. Thanks for pointing it out.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-81240377400943210832010-04-27T19:18:53.611-04:002010-04-27T19:18:53.611-04:00I tend to be a bit of a germaphobe a do try to avo...I tend to be a bit of a germaphobe a do try to avoid colds and flu, but that's mainly due to the fact that I have asthma and what is a minor illness to others will set off a major attack that can land me in the emergency room. The difference is that I believe soap and hot water, and perhaps vinegar or other natural substances are adequate cleaning substances. The hand sanitizer I carry is made by Burt's Bees. As a nurse, I have long been aware of the proliferation of drug resistant germs due in part to the overuse of antibiotics and antibacterial products. <br /><br />In most cases, proper hand washing with soap and water (and plenty of friction) are all that's necessary.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113928043039917799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2928117252460676054.post-50200159011795321352010-04-27T16:33:55.880-04:002010-04-27T16:33:55.880-04:00This reminds me of a post on One Green Generation ...This reminds me of a post on One Green Generation recently about how people call us abnormal.
