This one.. hits home for me. I see so many people NOT wash hands and think just rinsing under water is fine. Then they want to touch my keyboard or grab a cookie.. etc. Gross! I always use a paper towel to turn off water and open door. If paper towel not available I will use tp... I am def grossed out by germs!! And if no trash can i just let it fall to the floor in the bathroom. After a while they get a hint and put the trashcan there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098975016973548417.post-3250990265861918192010-05-07T23:51:58.166-04:002010-05-07T23:51:58.166-04:00“People with A blood type have a different set of ...“People with A blood type have a different set of characteristics from people who are Type O — they are susceptible to different diseases, should eat different foods and exercise differently,” says Peter on their website www.dadamo.com.The blood group diet chart suggests that ‘Type O' people should eat high proteins; ‘Type A' should avoid heavy proteins and dig on carbohydrates; ‘Type B' people should drink more milk and avoid fruits such as corns, lentils and peanuts.People with the rare Type AB blood group can go for a combination of the diet recommended for Type A and Type B.“In the three months that I have been on a diet, I have lost almost five kg. So far, everything is good,” says Akankasha Darswal, who is a Type A.“The only difficulty was eating more carbohydrates. I was a bit sceptical, because we all believe that we should avoid carbohydrates to lose weight, but the results are there to see,” she adds.However, Tandon says that one should not overdo this diet. Also, it is important to consult a professional and factor in your age into the programme.”P.

You can certain pick up a lot of junk there too!<br />Busy-Dad-E: true....I guess if everyone washes their hands well before drying, and the towel is washed frequently, it probably isn't too bad. I just wouldn't want to use a towel in public where you don't know how well people wash!<br />Mom-E: Really good question about hand sanitizer. As long as you cover your hands (in between fingers, back, and front, etc) you should be good. I really don't know that it kills anymore germs than antibacterial soap, if used properly. Don't quote me on that because I'm not entirely sure!!! However, hand sanitizer is a great thing to use. The only exception that I know of is that hand sanitizer doesn't kill C. Diff., which is a bacteria that sometimes develops with a lot of antibiotic use.Erin, MS, RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416858968974500802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098975016973548417.post-37351409546679444642010-05-07T14:57:07.791-04:002010-05-07T14:57:07.791-04:00Good points!

Although, I do hear that hand sanitizer isn't the best because it kills too many germs and then we weaken our immune system...or something like that...<br />Mom-EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098975016973548417.post-27460283992182188482010-05-07T11:36:44.312-04:002010-05-07T11:36:44.312-04:00It's interesting that we abandon the paper tow...It's interesting that we abandon the paper towels at home.

I wish all public restrooms would have a trash can right by the door b/c after I wash and dry I use my paper towel to open the door and it is nice when there is a trash can to throw it in once I have the door open. The thought of opening the door with my bare hands is scary when you consider how many people don't wash and then use that same handle to open the door. OCD???Erin'sMomnoreply@blogger.com
