Please Wash Your Hands!!!!!

Did you know that 90% of people say that they wash their hands, however, only 68% really do after going to the restroom? I could not believe this, so I have been watching and it is true! I cannot tell you how many people I watched just walk right past the sinks. Why? How hard is it to get a little soap and wash your hand for about 15-20 seconds under water? The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states, “It is well documented that the most important measure for preventing the spread of pathogens is effective hand washing.”

I have seen people walk right out of the restroom and then later I see them getting free samples with their unwashed hands. It really makes me wonder if people really are washing before returning to work. Are you making my pizza, sandwich, or pasta with unwashed hands? Are you changing your child's diaper and then making cupcakes for the office? Are you the one who is coughing and blowing your nose and then ringing up my food at the store?

What kind of example are you setting for your kids? Did you know that only 58% of female and 48% of male, middle and high school students, wash their hands after the restroom? Then they are going to lunch and sharing those germs (i.e. their sandwich) with their friends.

So I ask of you, do you want to wonder about your food at a restaurant or if your child is going to get their friend’s flu or wonder if those cupcakes in the break room are OK? Just wash your hands, teach your kids, and then maybe others will see the great example and do so themselves.

OK, I can hope can't I?

One Year Old Cake

So last night was my one year wedding anniversary and of course came the eating of the one year old freezer cake. So far so good, no freezer burn, no bad smell, maybe this will not be to bad.

So we cut into the cake. It was to be a yellow cake but it is chocolate! Then if you look closely the color is a little off. We smell it! i say no to eating it. You know when you find that container in the back of the reflector and you open it and quickly close it again because the smell is going to make you sick, that is about what the cake smelled like on the inside. Yes, it was that scary! The "other half" puts a bite on a fork and feeds it to me. Before you go all sweet on me, it was so I would eat it! He put a bite in his mouth. He ate it but i could not stomach the food.

Why!!! Why would you!??! The truth is no matter how much they tell you to kept the top of the cake, don't! Just sever it to your guests and on your one year, if you want to be all sweet and gay then go to a bakery and have them make a small cake just like the one you had one year ago and eat that. It will be a lot better!
