Anyone that knows me well, knows that I am an absolute germophobe! I didnāt always used to be that way. When I was a kid, I always touched everything in sight and had dirty hands pretty much constantly. I would only wash my hands before eating because my mom told me to. But as I got older, and started to realize that germs are the cause of illnesses, combined with the fact that I am the biggest wuss when it comes to getting sick, made me change my ways. (I really am such a crybaby when it comes to being sick. Even a cold will make me panic, lol)
These days, I am much more vigilant about keeping my hands clean and avoiding germs. I donāt touch door handles without using my shirt. Iām also the guy that doesnāt āsit downā in a public restroom. In fact, I only flush toilets with my foot. No way my hand is touching that nasty toilet handle! When we go to a buffet restaurant, that presents a challenge to people like me. The solution? Serve with the right hand, eat with the left hand! Especially when itās finger foods. Keep that left hand away from the buffet, use your right hand for any serving, scooping, or utensiling and youāll be good to go. Or āIā will be good to go. Until someone walks by me and sneezes, or I chew my fingernails again. Thatās an entirely different blog topic, Iāll save that one for later.

This Time Itās Painfully Different
If you have listened to my ramblings over the past couple of weeks regarding the kidney stone, youāre probably sick of hearing about it. But I can assure you not nearly as sick as I am of dealing with it! I had surgery on Tuesday morning to remove the stone. At least, thatās what I […]

A Cell Phone At How Old!?
I saw a post on Facebook the other day from a guy whose seven year old daughter has a cell phone. I think for most of us, that seems a little young. And the general consensus in the comments section of the post was exactly that. Lots of different opinions were represented! That brings up […]
