sWHINE Flu

For those of you wondering if us Texans are :
Alive?.... yes!
Infected?..... No! (and hopefully never)
Paranoid? more than ever!! (Swine flu outbreak so close to home is really difficult for a germaphobe like me, however Russells thinks it is a part conspiracy)

So now to whine a little.........so why does it take being on the verge of a pandemic for people to realise the value of these simple things:
  • Washing your hands!!
  • Staying home when you are sick!!
  • Keeping your sick kids at home!!!!
  • Covering your mouth with a disposable tissue if you cough & teaching your children to do the same thing!

While reading some news articles last night they reported that in light of swine flu a major public venue will now provide hand washing stations by the port-a-potties & hand sanitizer at each food booth!! REALLY??? Bathrooms with sinks to wash your hands?? Those two go together??? What?!?! Cleaning your hands BEFORE you eat??? Wow, I love these novel ideas!!! See, out of crisis does come great ideas!!! Someone deserves a gold star for coming to that conclusion!!

"It was once said that a black man would be President when pigs flew....

Well behold, 100 day into his presidency and Swine Flu!!"

I'm starting to agree with Russ. Hang in there Mon, one of these days everyone will wash their hands. And one of these days I won't have to send my boy to school picking his nose all day long!!! :)
