During last week both myself and my hubby got sick with a nasty cold. First I got it and then a couple of days later he got it.
Some where I had either heard or read about how it takes a virus some 20 or 21 days to materialize. So when he got the same thing within a couple of days of mine I told him I did not do it. He probably did my cold. So it was an in house comedy relief for us to keep putting the blame back and forth because we were both so miserable. We just looked at each other in the most pitiful manner available and sniffled like little kids. Hay it helps to laugh at the other guy also especially when that guy is my hubby!
Well now last time we went shopping to get his prescriptions I got some new cold medicine that my mother used to have to get by prescription and that stuff really helped. I had to register to buy it because of the issues with meth cooking but we are getting better.
Yesterday my hubby decided to take all the blankets and pillow cases and wash everything to attempt to kill the germs and I washed the dishes and used bleach in the rinse water. I usually do that but it sounded professional didn't it?
So now my bottles that I use to freeze water in and have real cold water to drink have all been bleached and refroze. Here we are hoping not to get the same bug again cause that one is the pits.
Anyway see everyone in the threads. Have a good one.
Wow, I never use bleach anywhere. In fact, I quit buying it which is saying something with all the mold and mildew we have in Florida. I heard yesterday we have cases of Dengue fever here in Florida.

I never get colds or viruses anymore. I have not had one for about two years. I am a firm believer in people building up their own immunities, so my family knows me as being somewhat "careless" about germs. I mean, I take reasonable care, but I do not use hand sanitizer regularly (of course, I wash my hands), I do not bleach my kitchen counters or put bleach in any of my cleaning waters (dishes or clothes). I tend to not worry too much about drinking after people. I do feel like my dishes are sanitary because I use a dishwasher for most.
My grand-kids laugh at me because I will sometimes pick up a kernel of popcorn from the floor and eat it. :-)
Professor,
ReplyDeleteI have read your postings and when I had a dishwasher I did not use bleach either however since loosing my home and my little green organic acre I have to. My hubby with type 1 diabetes and definite weakened immune system must have germs killed.
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteSure, bleach kills mold as well. I need to use some soon in the car I have been driving which is borrowed from my ex. I see mold in the floorboards from getting wet in flooded streets . . . so they need to be cleaned with bleach to kill the mold.
