I am going to die

[tiggersmom2]

After reading numerous threads tonight...it is obvious to me that my time on this earth is limited. I soak in the hot tubs, I trek through my hotel with bare feet, I sleep under the quilts, I soak in the regular bath tubs, I swim in the "feces infested pools", I use the strollers in the parks for my 2 yr. old (god forbid..he is going to meet an early demise too!!!!! ), AND I even SIT on the toilet in the public restrooms............

I am saying my Hail Mary's now.

Can someone point me to the direction of this thread? It sounds interesting...I read the one about the bed spreads and am thoroughly disgusted. I, for one, will be requesting fresh blankets the moment we get to our room.

I know exactly what you mean........it is by pure divine intervention that I have survived thus far..and fyi tiggersmom2, I graduated from high school the year you were born! So you can IMAGINE how lucky I feel! By the way,
do you use the cashier's "public" pen at the supermarket.....how about the occasional (gasp!) PAYPHONE!!!!! perhaps I SHOULD get
started on that will I have been putting off..........................

Joining the prayer cicle of barefooters who roll around gleefully on hotel sheets and bedpreads and fall asleep with the hotel pillowcase right by my nose and mouth, after spending the day sitting on toilet seats in various countries, touching door handles, dangling my tootsies in the pools and hot tubs and subjecting my DS5 to a BATH in the hotel bathtub every night.

Hey, I just finished the battle of my life/for my life with Breast Cancer. With my immune system at a low point, and inbetween chemo drugs, I had the full blessing of my oncologist to head down to WDW and have a ball. No silly restrictions regarding my "room safety" so now a year later, I feel pretty safe.

Be happy!

Good one! I was laughing when I read your post. I have a friend who the other day showed me an article from the web. The article went on to say that if you eat out in restaurants alot, you end up eating 50 body hairs a year! He's one of those people that keeps his toothbrush in the bathroom closet so there is no chance any fumes from pee or feces coming from the toilet won't settle on his tooth brush. I'm not kidding you, he does this and I tease him every chance I can! He would read that post on the dirty blankets and freak out. People can take the germ thing too far and I'm glad to see someone here on these boards has a sense of humor about it.

I clean carpet,drapes,furniture,etc for a living and I have seen it all and even I am not this afraid of all the evil germs laying in wait! I run a small janitorial company so I clean 7 days a week and Disney keeps their hotels and parks in good shape. TRUST ME ON THIS! Just use common sense and quit worrying about getting sick at every turn. No carpet is really clean and I can clean it and 2 days later it can be considered dirty if a lot of people walk on it. You can literally make your sick by worrying too much. How many of you have swam in pools or slept in hotel beds years ago before the country went on a "Get rid of the germs" binge? I did and I felt fine so let's put away your Clorox wipes and protective body suit and enjoy yourself. Come on I'll race you to the hot tub! LOL!!

 

[pattyT]

ok -
I am NOT putting wall to wall in our new house cuz I have pulled up too many in my life too see underneath

I do remove the bedspreads RIGHT AWAY (I don't want my kids sitting on it JUST in CASE!)

But I am quilty of all other offenses listed I hope I survive too

 

[tikkipoo]

And I eat hot dogs too!

 

[safetymom]

Add me to the club. I travel quite a bit so I get to experience these dangers all over the country. I haven't had any problems.

I don't have carpeting in my home and I love it. So easy to clean.

 

[zurgswife]

I'm still alive too....amazing as it may seem....i actually snuggle up in the blanket and comfortor...plus i crawl on the rug playing with my kids....amaze myself everytime i come home alive...

 

[moopdog]

Count me in.... I never considered myself one who "lives dangerously", but now I think I just might go be on Fear Factor or something (Just Kidding - blech!). I sort of go on the premise that "won't you don't know won't hurt you" and so far I think I'm okay!

Count me in as well! Having traveled all over I'm surprised that I haven't kicked the bucket yet!
I guess that we've been lucky considering we use the pools, hot tubs, beds, shower\tubs, toilets, phones, remotes, door handles,dressers,chairs,desk,faucet handles, etc...

I hope that we are all able to continue our travels considering our dangerous ways!

I have a friend who won't hold on to the bars on the shuttle at MCO, the monorail (or other public transportation). I told her she's more likely to die from a head injury than from any dried up old germ.

My kids have developed super effective immune systems by:
Chewing on shopping cart handles (I tried to stop them but when I'm comparison shopping I lose track)
Patting strange (but friendly) dogs
Playing with other children and their toys when the other child has sniffles

They are rarely sick and when they are, they don't seem to be as sick as the kids of the antiseptic toting mothers I know. Maybe we're just blessed but I think it is because their immune systems are in a constant state of vigilance!

My middle DD takes it too far by seeking out gum under table tops. Even I can't abide that

Nicely Done.

You're a "Goner"

Seems like another thing to drag along with you...don't have it at home...won't be carring it on vacation..

 

[buckeye]

MinnieM3,
Congratulations on your successful battle! Puts things like everyday germs into perspective, doesn't it?

Enjoy yourself in Disney---the happiest place on earth!

 

[Ibelieveinfairies]

Germs?! At Disney World?! Never!! I guess I'm a goner, too! Add my DH and two DDs...we all apparently have limited days to live!

 

[Tissa]

Maybe we should create a support group since we are all going to die soon I'm also guilty of sitting on toilet seats and bedspreads etc. I grew up with a mom who didn't like to clean so if our house didn't kill me nothing will

 

[imatoad]

Oh boy, I was going to share some of my Mexico surf trip exploits, but you'd probably think of me as a modern day Typhoid Mary, and I'm not talking cushy Cancun.
