We Quit Cigarettes

[Kiki]

You're too young for laughing=peeing.

I haven't actually peed my pants but I do get to laughing so hard sometimes my eyes pee.

I still don't understand the gloved nutters walking around everywhere.

I truly do not understand how a glove is going to protect them.

The gloves protect other people (as long as the wearer doesn't put their fingers in their nose, etc.) as much as they protect the wearer. But the way gloves protect the wearer is this: person *a* rubs his nose, maybe clears his throat with hand over mouth, then picks up a poultry feeder, looks it over, puts it back down. Glove-wearer comes along an hour or so later, picks up same feeder.

You have to be conscious of what you're doing, though. Have a "clean" zone which you will not touch until you unglove (and if you should need to access it, unglove first; do what you gotta do; put on spare gloves)--and a "dirty zone" containing items you will likely need like money, card(s), phone. When you leave the store, discard any used gloves, sanitize cards, phone, etc. with hand sanitizer (bleach wipe may damage phone surfaces if unprotected), discard gloves on your hands. (Always remove gloves by turning them inside-out, enclosing second glove in first one. Touch only the inside of the gloves as you take them off.)

The virus can stay viable on a plastic surface three days (I've been told.) One day on cardboard--no idea why this would be but that's apparently what research has shown. At any rate we have store packages still in the car waiting for their appointed time. And there are no known cases in our county. DH has good reasons to be very careful, but if you consider all outside items as potentially contaminated, that's how you ought to deal with it. (Do not buy produce that cannot be adequately washed or peeled--particularly produce that is not sufficiently packaged on the shelves.)

I got accustomed to thinking about these things doing sterile procedures (up to and including dressing a guy's open cardiac cavity in MICU--not something you forget--he did recover. You had to be careful reaching in there to avoid being pinched by the two halves of his sternum closing as the ventilator worked his lungs.)

At any rate, gloves used properly do help.

If we could leave sin, praying, and God out of this, it would be a lot more helpful to me. The way this was written implies in a way that humans are weak and it is up to a higher power to help you quit. I much prefer to exercise an internal locus of control. It Isn't God's fault I picked up a bad habit of smoking, surely.

Oh...are you quitting smoking also?

Maybe you need to come here and tell my grocery store's glovers that they shouldn't be touching their face with their gloved hand.



NOT ONE gloved person I have seen knows how to wear a glove properly.
I think that people are just too stupid to understand that the gloved hand touching their face isn't going to protect them.


This whole glove crap is going to drive me nuts...I see it coming.
I better start practicing deep breathing now.

Cj wants me to Zoom her doesn't she?

Hug Puckers!

Lol
What are you going to say?

Puckers is being a fantastic boy lately. Other than our trip to work, when his leash slipped out of my hand... I spent an hour chasing him around town. I got him back into our yard, and it took another 45 minutes with 4 of us trying to catch him. He thought it was the greatest game ever!

I don't know.
I'll just distract her with a million questions while you BYC.


Poor dog.
He's a little pooper isn't he?

While at the store on the 14th, there was a person coughing into their hand, then touching the produce!

Disgusting

 

[sourland]

@Kiki you sure pee your pants a lot. I would hate to be the person doing your laundry! Have you seen a doctor about this, by chance?

My exact immediate thought, and then I thought, "What is she going to do when she's old?"

I haven't actually peed my pants but I do get to laughing so hard sometimes my eyes pee.

SMH, and you call me a nutter?

I have 2 kinda funy PSA's to share with yall via my Step-son....

(i've edited *from* my cell phone to cut-n-paste, now its looking better. tthat on screen KB & editing browser stuff in this forum is so auto-correcting-distracting, yeuck.)

... so here ya go. The 2 are funny but, truthful to all I've ever known. My kid likens him to the Bill Nye-Science Guy of the Foodie world.

Hand washing PSA
1) mild humour

2) silly humour at end

Good to the first part... the second part just... sounds... ew. I know what you mean, but just, the wording... ew.
