Grrross!

Word to the wise:  do not read the paper or the Internet first thing in the morning unless you want to feel sick for the rest of the day.  Eeegads...I'm actually thinking a "fast" from the news might be a really healthy choice.  There's not enough good news and w-a-y too much emphasis on negative stuff.

I did, however, get a kick out of one of the topics I saw on MSNBC entitled:  Think Twice Before You Take that Hotel Bathrobe.  Really?  Does anybody actually do that anymore, and if so, why not just BUY a new fresh one that doesn't have some nasty old body cooties from somebody else.  Yeah, I know hotels are supposed to wash their robes but have you seen how seldom they clean the duvets and bed spreads??  Please...they aren't fooling me.  I've seen enough microorganisms in my days as a nurse, in places that were supposed to be sterile, so don't even try that stuff on me.  Lice, bed bugs, and worse are right there waiting to just jump in your bag and go home with you, so leave that nasty robe where it belongs and head to the gift shop and just buy the damn robe if you want it that bad.   And since hotels are now micro chipping laundry (kind of like they do dogs)  if you take it,  they're just gonna add it to your bill anyway.  Do yourself a favor and go get a brand new clean one, ya cheapo.
