As I go about my travels, I begin to think there may be merit to Aunt Ann's anti-germ ways. Maybe it's just because I'm in public restrooms more, but I swear 50% of people don't wash their hands after using the restroom. I've started to use the trick of using the paper towel to open the bathroom door when leaving.

I've been using that trick for a long time. Everyone should know it.

Yea, there's a few people at Novell that I always see come out of the stalls and head directly for the door. Anytime I see them in the halls I feel I need to run and wash my hands. Aunt Ann, OTOH, is a special case.

Hey there was the story on National News a week ago where they talked about how 90% of the people in a luxury hotel got sick with a nasty, intestinal type problem, and they said that most of them wouldn't have gotten it if they'd just washed their hands. Precautions are a good thing!

PSU conducted a study to see if putting a sign in the bathroom saying “Please wash hands” would increase the likelihood of men to wash their hands more. They found 42% of men still didn't wash their hands after using public restrooms. So when your male boss motions to shake your hand, hand him your pen.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

potty training done

By -

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
