I love reading Stone Soup. It's a comic strip I can really realte to. (When I'm in a really good mood and feeling goofy - Calvin and Hobbes are the way to go. But I digress .....). So I'm reading the comics this morning, and this strip struck me as a conversation piece.
I was reading something the other day that said we were harming our children by trying to be so clean. By not exposing them to 'minor' bacteria, they weren't able to build up any kind of resistance, so when they did come down with something, it really hit them hard. There was a lady on the news the other day as well, that washes down her whole house - everyday - with bleach. They do not touch a shopping cart or anything until she has wiped it down, they do not open doors unless they wear gloves, etc. I think its a little extreme. Of course, her and her kids have never been sick. Not once. Is she setting herself up for something bad down the road ?? Who knows.
You may wonder where this whole thing came from. I don't know. It's just one of those things that comes to mind from time to time, that you just have to run with.
Hey, on a totally different subject .... There's a Delcor truck out in our parking lot. Delcor is one of our service providers at work. They do painting, and ceramic tile installs for us. I'm tempted to go downstairs and introduce myself, and watch them work. LOL. Man I am soooooooo going to have to be re-trained when I go back. All this relaxation is hard to take. And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you .....
Game 4 of the Oilers-Detroit series goes tonight! I'll have to flip between that and Survivor. I wouldn't say I'm a reality junkie, but I like Survivor, the Amazing Race and the Apprentice to name a few.
