Did you know that the body has approximately 50,000 bacteria per square inch. These are harmless and beneficial to the skins protection and health.

But hands on the other hand (hmm…not sure thats grammatically correct!) come in contact with more foreign objects and pick up bacteria and germs by touching door knobs, telephones, toilet seats, shaking hands and by getting sneezed into or coughed upon…and THAT can be harmful to you.

Which brings me to my story of yesterday…I was leaving the local shopping centre when the trolley man loaded with a large line of supermarket trolleys stopped to blow his nose. Now whilst this was annoying to me as I was in a hurry and had to wait for him to move all the trolleys before I could exit the centre…it wasn’t a biggy UNTIL…

…he blew his snotty grotty nose into his hanky like a trumpet. Then he held it in his hand and proceeded to push the line of trolleys out of my way. Nice gesture except I was nearly vomiting at this stage as he did this with his snot ridden hanky still in hand. (on the handle of a public supermarket trolly!) OMG!!!

Now I can only hope people try to understand why I carry around my personal sanitiser and wont touch the railings on stairs or escalators. I mean who would know if there was snot or other disgusting bodily fluids on them, or even on the next supermarket trolley they push? (unless of course it was still wet…ewwww I’m cringing!)

Do you open up your inbox each morning to 100’s of spam mail sprouting guarantees of bigger harder erections, less wrinkles, whiter teeth, flatter tummys, tighter butts…you name it, there’s a product out there to fix it!

Well todays email definitely grabbed my attention!
The benefits of red wine without the calories, alcohol or preservatives!
These pills boast the ability to ’slow down the aging process’…’lose weight’…(cop this one) ‘Extend your life’…and…wait for it…‘Change your unhealthy lifestyle’! OMG! Its a frickin miracle!!

Now who’d have thought a tiny pill could do all that? How amazing? But wait…there’s more!

They’re even offering a ‘risk free’ trial bottle. Risk free? Now I’m concerned. I thought I’d investigate them a little more…afterall, surely they couldn’t claim to do all those fantastic things without some proof. Could they???

So I clicked on the link and you can imagine my disappointment when I was faced with this…

I can only guess they were inundated by people wanting those ‘risk free’ trial bottles of the red wine miracle drug…so much so that I missed out. So now I just have to live out my days with the knowledge I’m going to continue being a fat, old aging woman *sigh*…or, maybe I’ll just get pissed on the red wine and worry about it another day!

Cheers!!
