Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 No thanks!! We don't get the shots and we don't get the flu. And how do *they* know which strand of the flu will affect any/everyone?? Washing hands and the like works for us:O) Loree in MT I finally got to check this out!

And how do *they* know which strand of the flu will affect any/everyone?? Washing hands and the like works for us:O) Loree in MT -----End Original Message----- Hi Loree, First, did y'all get snow?? Next, funny you mention that about hand washing .. Yesterday I was reading an article in Entrepreneur magazine and they were talking to the guy who makes " Squid Ink " soap for kids .. It squirts a wash off dye onto the kids hands before they wash and they have to wash up long enough to get the ink off, which is how long they are supposed to properly wash their hands. He got the idea when he was doing something in some third world country and they had a bucket outside the tent and everyone had to wash in what was basically some tea of a poisonous plant or something like that - to remove the germs from the hands .. And it struck him that they totally got the concept of how cleaning/disinfecting hands properly is a way to prevent illness and many times in their case, save lives! So - now that I've gone off on a tangent - the point was - I agree ... just wash your hands a bunch as great prevention for colds, the flu, diarrhea, etc ... Oh, and forgo the antibacterial triclosan soaps - use artisan handmade soap and keep your hands soft and clean without creating " super bugs " ! *Smile* Chris (list mom) Pumpkin Chai Spice Artisan Handmade Soap Holiday Tradition With Real Organic Pumpkin http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 When I was at our county fair this year, I noticed, at the petting zoo area, they had signs up telling people to be sure to wash their hands with soap and water afterwards (they had handwashing areas set up right there). They said to soap up and rub your hands together long enough to sing " Happy Birthday " twice. I thought that was a great idea, seeing as most people seem to just run their hands through the water for a split second and then head for the towels when " washing " their hands. I don't think the split-second method does much good at all! Karen At 10:36 AM -0500 10/13/06, Christine Ziegler wrote: No thanks!! We don't get the shots and we don't get the flu.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I can't do video, it takes too long on dial-up, but noticed this link went to the good old Royal Canadian Air Farce! We used to follow them avidly way back when they were on radio. Apart from the universal (it ain't perfect but its there) health care the quality of comedy is one thing that makes Canada a great place to live. Entertainers are one of our main export products.
