I am going to die

Stitch Inside · Mar 19, 2005

I'd just like to shake all y'all's hands. :smooth:

epcotter · Mar 19, 2005

I hope I live:

I drink water from the hose on hot days
I use the comforter at hotels
I crawl around on the hotel rugs to play with my kids
I walk around barefoot
I use the pen and the checkout cashier at the foodstore
I use payphones
I touch the utensils at the buffets
I eat salad at a restaurant
I sit on a public restroom toilet
I drink water from public watering fountains

OMG - What have I been doing?? :confused3

I knew it!! We've all gone bananas from being on this board too much!!!!

Bluenoser · Mar 19, 2005

I say live dangerously - my dh and two ds share drinks and finish each others food - especially the ice cream!

In terms of living on the edge I have two words
Lawn Jarts
We would play this game all the time - it was a blast!

Ohhhh! I just thought of another highly "dangerous" thing we do......we actually hold on to the "smelly", spongy handle bars on Splash Mountain!!!! :eek:

Have you ever smelled your hands after getting off that ride? OMG! I think a public restroom smells better! :rotfl:

You just made me crack up remembering 16 of us coming off of Splash Mountain and someone said "smell your hands" and there was a loud group "EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!! That is a disgusting smell! We all couldn't pass around the raspberry flavor hand sanitizer fast enough!

LOL This entire thread is hilarious! I was one of the people on the other thread sharing "helpful" information though some thought I was being paranoid. lol I think people conjured an image of me walking around in bubble wrap or something.

I'm actually quite the opposite. lol I am a bit paranoid about STDs and lice though, I'll admit it! LOL

So why do I not walk around in bubble wrap?

I share my ice cream cones with my family's pet dog. :teeth:

I volunteer in the ICU and hug my husband when I get home. So most obviously both of us and are ferrets are going to die.

Mudsliding is a hobby of mine.

Imagine all the fun microbes at concerts when you do that.
I pick up every stray I see and get drooled on by a lot of strange animals. :eek:

I ignore the do not feed wildlife signs and feed the racoons by hand at the local metroparks. :cool1:

Now I have study partners when I go there! Clears all loud, noisy humans from the area and I have peace and quiet, with the exception of teh coons. Now when I run out of food for them thats another story... :crazy:

Dizz42 · Mar 20, 2005

I think I can out-gross all of you. When I'm at Disney.......I use the remote (collective gasp here)! Talk about living dangerously. :laughing:

MrIncreadable · Mar 20, 2005

What about the flush handle on the toilet? :confused3

I would have thought there would have been a post earlier about this one. Just think of what might be on a persons hands as they are flushing. :laughing:

Waaaay off topic here, but I learned the hard way why they say not to feed the local wildlife. My dh used to play mens softball at a metroparks up here in NE Ohio. There were three teeny baby raccoons that came around, not knowing any better. We would feed them -- they looked like kittens, and obviously had no mommy! Well, I felt TERRIBLE one morning when the animal wardens showed up and rounded up those babies. I THOUGHT they were taking them to a more remote location, away from people. Or a baby animal fostering program. NOPE, they had to take them and "destroy" them because they had lost their natural inhibition towards people. :sad:

The worry was that IF rabies ever reached Ohio (which it has, since then) then these raccoons who came around people would be a bigger danger to people than other raccoons who still were afraid of bigger animals (people) and kept away. Just something to consider, when feeding the local wildlife.

BTW, one of the babies wandered toward the woods and got away. We were standing and shouting, rooting for it to RUN, RUN, RUN! (The other 2 had already been caught).

From what I have been taught, a germ can only live a minute or two on a none living surface. Hepititus lives the longest, even longer than hiv.
Get your hepititus shots!!!!!! Hepititus is on the rise.

Jasminetigger · Mar 20, 2005

I don't want to gross anybody out, but when I am at WDW I breath the air. I am breathing the air everybody else is. So please watch out for me. I might be considered dangerous. LOL :rotfl2:

Dizz42 · Mar 20, 2005

Ohmygawsh, JasmineTigger! Does the name "Typhoid Mary" ring a bell?! :scared1:

Jasminetigger · Mar 20, 2005

Dizz42,

I'm not sure what that means. Does anybody else?

Kteacher · Mar 20, 2005

I take the comforter off the bed in hotels, but other than that :rolleyes1

I took a trip to WDw last spring with my DD and my sister. My sister brought disinfectant with her, and wiped everything down before she would touch it. Guess who got sick :rolleyes2

. I love the elementary school comment- I've had kids wipe their noses on me, drool on me, and throw up on me-i think I'm pretty immune to just about everything now :rolleyes2

soccer mom · Mar 20, 2005

We also enjoy every aspect of the World...even the germs. I figure that's why God gave me an immune system!!!

I am going to die
