I dunno. I just figure there's potential ick but I really want to sit down. So I shield.
Yeah, I don't worry so much about ick in general. I also open doors with my bare hands!
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
With swine flu, I've gotten paranoid about banisters, but I figure falling down the stairs will probably hurt me more than swine flu.

Oh, I've seen a new anti-Obama (I guess) sticker. It's a christian fish eating an Obama 'O' symbol.

Is pecan allergy as common as peanut allergy?
Tree nut allergies are pretty common in kids, yeah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I also open doors with my bare hands!
I notice that just about every woman I've seen in the washroom here opens the washroom door with a paper towel instead of her bare hands, which makes me feel okay with using my bare hands--it's when I notice a persistent non-washer that I start to get creeped out. I used to work at a healthcare-tangential place where the orientation included hand-washing instructions, and there was this one woman that never washed her hands. I don't work there anymore, but I see her around town, and it's all I think, there she goes with the ick on her hands.

The other ick I think about is shopping cart handles, for some reason. My hands just feel filthy after I've done grocery shopping. I must wash. But I don't think that's a swine flu thing.

I've seen sanitizers at supermarkets for those handles.

Oh, I think we've had this discussion before. I'm again in the "why bother?" category, unless you have an actual reason. Yuppie angst over germs doesn't seem like an actual reason to me.

And I totally believe that over-cleaning is bad for you, anyway. (As mentioned on last night's House, so it must be true!)

I just wash my hands when I'm done grocery shopping. I can't be arsed to actually santise the handle on the spot, although the supermarket I go to does have a little stand for that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
