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.

I know it is summertime, and we have been dealing with some warm and humid weather conditions. I also know that the airflow in my house is subpar. Like many homes, the (cold) air conditioned air works its way to the basement, while the upstairs is much stuffier. Unfortunately, my bedroom is upstairs. Iāve actually […]

Woodstock 2029?
Netflix just released the new documentary highlighting the train wreck that was Woodstock 1999. Woodstock 1999 was commemorating 30 years since the original Woodstock in 1969. The two concert festivals were not held in the exact same location, which, according to the documentary, might have actually been part of the reason why it went so […]

Unread E-mails
Iām going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in […]
