Yucko!<BR/><BR/>I also kringe when people chew with there mouths open, especially gum because you have to endure listening to it longer. Errggghhh!<BR/><BR/>As for snorters, well I had to drive for 6 hours with a co-worker who snorked as I call it all the way to Nashville. Ok, I dealt with it for 3 hours. On the way back to Memphis I couldn't take it anymore so I begged him to stop, pull over and blow his nose. He didn't. I eventually told him that I just knew he wouldn't be hungry for dinner when he got home since he snorked up so much snot! That did the trick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-28471428459003561422008-03-05T18:52:00.000-06:002008-03-05T18:52:00.000-06:00OOps; it's NOT getting sick that bugs me; it's jus...OOps; it's NOT getting sick that bugs me; it's just touching other people's disgusting fluids.Mrs4444https://www.blogger.com/profile/06426176094895489541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-72344978397393212392008-03-05T18:29:00.000-06:002008-03-05T18:29:00.000-06:00Actually, I'm not worried about germs; the feel of...Actually, I'm not worried about germs; the feel of the meat is what skeeves me out. And it's getting sick that makes me gross out about door knobs; it's the fact that I see kids with their fingers up their noses, in their pants, and can only guess what their bathroom habits are. It disgusts me to think about touching someone else's bodily germs.....agh!!Mrs4444https://www.blogger.com/profile/06426176094895489541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-24616995191244993232008-03-05T12:52:00.000-06:002008-03-05T12:52:00.000-06:00Oh my!

You know- Scots-Irish stoic on dad's side... :) My friend Marlene's (Who I stole from Mary) mom Myrtle got me to eat raw ground round with onion on dark bread at least a few times and I survived! I liked it even... Marlene also insisted I eat green peppers from their garden till I liked them. Of course, mom will tell you that I LOVED cod liver oil! So, I have made it to 57 after eating raw cookie dough, raw meat, being older sib to 9,day care provider to many, mother to 4, step mom to 4, grandma to 23, and lots of little snotty noses. Bottom line: I am sorry that you have all those little challenges, but I think that the reason that we all rarely get sick is due to our great genes and not wiping all surfaces etc... Still, keep on using those wipes etc... I do that on grocery carts too. I have watched too many shows on germs not to... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-16405071741430955912008-03-04T19:28:00.000-06:002008-03-04T19:28:00.000-06:00Well, Bossy has you on her official list so you'd ...Well, Bossy has you on her official list so you'd better put the kettle on.

As for the mayo, I'm guessing eating a Big Macs or Filet o Fish would definitely out for you then?<BR/><BR/>ANW-So cute; the railroad tracks thing. I don't know about Bossy...we'll see if she comes this way. Now that Brett's retiring, what's the point of going to GB? JUST KIDDING<BR/><BR/>Terri-Yup; me, too!

If even the slightest smear gets on me I almost vomit. I have no idea why. I have no problem touching raw meat except organ meat -- there's something evil about organ meats!<BR/><BR/>For surfaces, handles, shopping carts, etc., I ALWAYS carry moistened handiwipes that sanitize.
