Mass. confirms 7 more swine flu casesBoston Globe - United StatesBOSTON—State health officials say they've confirmed seven new cases of swine flu in Massachusetts, bringing the total number of cases in the state to 88. ...See all stories on this topic

I still use hand sanitizer to prevent catching the swine flu. Yes it takes some effort to be more conscientious but it helps that my significant other is just as concerned. It would be alot harder if I was with someone that didn't care... and I have heard my fill from people like that. Even dear mom is not concerned...how appropriate for Mothers Day...she just doesn't think it's anything to worry about. Won't use hand sanitizer...won't change the way she does things one bit.

9 May 2009 -- As of 06:00 GMT, 9 May 2009, 29 countries have officially reported 3440 cases of influenza A(H1N1) Infection

It's going to be a long hot summer...it's already been in the mid 90's in May which is unusual this early as it is supposed to be spring still...had to turn on the ac last week just couldn't take the heat anymore...last time it was this hot this early was the year 2004 when Florida had lots of hurricanes. I have a feeling we are going to see alot of people suffering in this heat if it keeps up like this. We only go out early in the morning to work on the boat and after 6 in the evening.

WHAT ME WORRY - YUP I STILL DO - ABOUT SWINE FLU

We are going out more now these days - went to a small marine surplus store and also a paint shop - hardly anyone there...then stopped for a sub and even ate it where we bought it...but Bunnell is far more rural so no one was around...my guy feels safer in small shops and small towns - so do I. Though we still use hand sanitizer after touching store door handles. No crowds to contend with and if you know where to go there are still bargains to be found.

Swine flu is still in the news though not as much as in weeks past... CDC now confirms 1639 cases in 43 states


We are in the process of restoring a 36' project boat and are just now getting started on it...looking at everything we need to sand and paint the bottom and then compound and polish the hull. Then on to removing and replacing the marine engines. This project will keep him at home with plenty to do for the next 6 months I am guessing. Just in time for the 2nd round of swine flu in the fall. The prices of boats have dropped drastically in the last few months as the economy goes into freefall so there are plenty of great deals to be found out there.

Keeping People & Pets Safe from Viruses

Some more advice from my friend Lynda about keeping germ free....

"Another tidbit: When you go to a public building that does not use door knobs but rather those handles. I make sure that I pull from the bottom of that handle rather than the top. If you look closely you will notice that the handle is well worn at the top but the bottom may have the original patina. Eric does one better he uses the bottom but only with his little finger. I've just learned something new today :-)
Siberian Kittens
When I became a cat breeder it was absolutely necessary to wash my hands including up to the elbows when I would go from kitty room to kitty room. Sometimes that meant as much as 60 times per day!

The purpose of segregation of mothers with young babies from the rest of the population is to safeguard those babies with lesser immunities from those that have better systems to fight viruses and the transmission of diseases. If I don't wash my hands up to the elbows I am the reason that illness are transmitted.

In humans it is the babies that have the most danger of becoming ill.

When I am doing my duties I start with clean clothes and work with the babies first and then the youngsters then the adult population. I also realize that viruses and bacteria can hang onto the clothing that we wear. Never do I start with the adults and work backwards. If I do, I change to a clean set of clothing.


Just a little more babble........My cat nursery (where moms and very young babies reside and grow up) is empty. I birth my queens in my bedroom just in case they start in the middle of the night. My nursery is the bedroom next to me. Before I move these next mothers and babies I will steam clean that room...... ceiling, walls and furniture and especially the floors. After I have done the floors I will still disinfect the floors especially the grout before I will allow those precious babies into that room.

After I started passing this blog around I got some feedback from various friends and relatives about what they do to stay flu free. I thought I would quote one of them here.

"Thanks for the article, I keep hand sanitizer in my car and in my purse. I wash my hands for at least 30 seconds and especially when I am in a public restroom I continue to employ that methodology. AND when I am done wiping my hands I save the paper towel using it to open the restroom door. This is for all those people that don't wash after peeing.

When I got out to grocery shop , I make absolutely sure that I do not touch my face while in public, even if it means chanting silently to myself as a constant reminder.

Another way of transmission is the daily purse that we use. Going to a public restroom and setting the purse on the floor or even in any floor in any public place is cause for concern. If it is necessary for me to place my purse on any floor surface, it is disinfected that day. I still haven't gotten into the habit of cleaning at least the bottom of my purse daily but I am working on it ;-)

One other hint from Heloise. That shopping carts with the openings to carry babies is the worst place to put any produce products. Babies often times have dirty diapers when they are sitting there! Yuck!

When I worked for AT&T before I met you, I carried a bottle of alcohol in a spray bottle. Before I would use any operator station I would spray it down especially the keyboard and wipe it clean. Some thought that I was paranoid. But I didn't get the colds that were going around in the room.

Paranoid?? Maybe.

Cautious?? Yes

Sick?? Nope.

That last time that I got sick with flu like symptoms was 1988!

No brag just fact! ;-) " - Lynda


Thanks Lynda for those words of wisdom - Ann

USE HAND WIPES ALOT to PREVENT CATCHING SWINE FLU

From this article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/05/04/boyce.flu.hands/index.html
"One study conducted with a regular seasonal strain of influenza virus found that the virus could survive on facial tissues for several minutes and for two to eight hours on stainless steel or plastic surfaces."

Many of us don't consider all the times we touch surfaces strangers have touched in our daily lives. You pull in to pump gas - you touch the gas pump handle. You walk thru the door of a convenience store or any store for that matter - you touch the door handle.

I keep anti-bacterial Wipes in my car and purse and next to the kitchen sink - especially for the refrigerator handle. Some people aren't as careful as others so the rest of us have to make up for it. Even though the media is soft pedaling the symptoms I would rather err on the side of caution and remain vigilant in fighting all those nasty germs out there. Keep on washing your hands people and avoid crowds- this ain't over yet.

Since the media is now soft pedaling the symptoms people will not be as careful about things and more people will let themselves be exposed - thinking it's not that bad...until Fido and Fluffy get sick.

We were thinking it was ok to go out to eat - until I also read this:

Well from what I've been hearing the symptoms of the swine flu are not so bad...
3 days and it's done...you may be contagious for a bit longer than your symptoms but it doesn't seem even as bad as the common cold from what I've read.

So now we will go out for those .50 cent chicken wings on weekdays and take our chances. Restaurants aren't as crowded on weekdays either. I can go without seeing relatives and going out to bars...we never did that much anyways...
but kinda tough to quit going out to eat at least once a week. I'm a great cook but even I need a change. I am hoping if we do catch it - it will make us more immune to the next strain coming in the fall or winter.

Luckily I work from home so I don't have to deal with all the co-worker issues...I think people will still stay at home more and do more gardening...maybe fix up their houses a bit to pass the time. I think people will have second thoughts about going out to public pools and entertainment venues. You will see more at home birthday parties for the kids. Mom will stock up the pantry a little more this summer. I already put my garden in so now have lots of weed pulling to do. Wish it would rain more - the pond is dry and it's getting to be in the 80's now. I already ordered masks and had some leftover from when the Bird Flu was in the news a few years ago. Well it's back to posting ads for harleys for sale and such...have a great day.

Got invited to a pool party today here in Orlando but some guests will be flying in from Europe so not too sure I wanna be around them so may not go-it's harder now to stand there when someone gets right up in your face to talk...from what I've read people can be contagious without even having any symptoms at first...I catch things pretty easy...even if someone coughs on the other side of the room I seem to catch it.

Such a shame as we liked going out to eat but now when you do you have 2nd thoughts. Best to stay home as much as you can and out of public places. Kids are great for spreading germs so I try to stay as far away from them as possible. Bought lots of anti-bacterial wet ones (they come in the yellow packs) for wiping my hands off after touching grocery carts, door handles, even my own groceries. Be sure to wash your hands and all your produce real good.

That flu germ lasts 15 minutes on surfaces so wipe off your counters with lysol or vinegar. If you share your frig with a roomate you may want to have a talk and wipe off the frig handle regularly. I love my family but my sisters kids are not going to be as careful as I am...so they can just email me...heard they were shuttin down schools in Dallas and Houston which are two really big cities I have relatives in so...soon it shall be over this way. My cousin in New Hampshire said it was already up there...and she won't be flying down to see me anymore for awhile. It was not crowded at all in the grocery stores thankfully but I'm sure by next weekend it will be. From now on we will be going early in the morning when it's cool and not that crowded on weekdays. Have a great weekend.

STOCK UP FOR THE COMING FOOD SHORTAGES

I am truly a nut gatherer when it comes to winter and for months now I have been preparing by stocking up on all different types of food. I felt that no matter what Obama did he could not stave off the current and ongoing economic collapse that has befallen the entire world. This is not something I am blaming anyone for ....it's time to look past that... and look towards being prepared. I have always been the type of person that hoped for the best and prepared for the worst. Or at least hoped I did enough to prepare. It's hard to know what enough is.
Suffice it to say that if you have even thought of preparing for economic hard times you are now not just among the few ...but among the many. If you have tried hard not to spend and instead tried to pay off your debts - then you are thoughtful of at least that. That owing less is a better position to be in. And even if you can't get past that - and the best you can do is set aside food for yourself and your family...at least there was some forethought there. We all know that we can do more to prepare ourselves ...but we do the best that we can. It always helps to know that there are others that think the same way we do - so you are not alone in your thoughts. Keep up the good work and set aside dried goods and canned goods...no one expected the weather we are having now. Perhaps this is Gods way of reminding us to be more prepared. I would highly recommend even considering dehydrated foods from ...efoodsdirect.com...I have enjoyed their 3 day sampler and I think that after trying it out you will come to the same conclusion ...that the aluminum foil packaging and long shelf life of their products is the way to go. It takes up less space than canned food, for less money and stores longer without corrosion.... and even in damp climates. Give em a look see and you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that http://www.efoodsdirect.com/ - is the way to go.

BARTERING BECOMING MORE POPULAR

If you go to craigslist and click on barter you will see that more and more people in small businesses that provide services are willing to barter. This is because their businesses are slowing down in many parts of the country. People that provide services such as roofing, painting, carpentry, land clearing, construction related industries, t-shirt advertising, auto repair, household repairs, plumbing, electrical, lawyers...the more I look the more I see. It is getting harder and harder to sell things and so people are turning to bartering. This trend is a clear indication of the direction our country is headed. Many people are advertising used heavy equipment in trade for other things they are looking for. I have even gotten to the point where I have advertised things I own in trade. I am trying to sell the following items and am willing to do a trade or partial trade for a small economical sportscar, jewelry, gems, coins, bullion, etc.,. what have you got to trade?
Are you looking for a Backhoe, Boat, Horse Drawn Carriage, Emeralds...these are some of the things I have to trade. Perhaps you are a truck driver or former truck driver that owns his own truck. You may want to consider selling it on my used heavy equipment site. I only charge 5% of the sale and you would get great exposure because I post the ads for it on craigslist as well as putting pictures of it on my heavy equipment site. No up front cost here and nothing to lose - you only pay if it sells.

Fuel Prices are Still to High for Most Truckers

Even though the price of a barrel of oil has gone down it hasn't changed prices much at the pump. We are told that the reason for this is because the price at the pump now is a reflection of the higher oil prices over the last 6 months. It takes time for cheaper oil prices to affect pump prices since gasoline is bought months in advance. Maybe we will see lower prices right before the election - that would not be a surprise.
With fuel prices still high you will still see lots of used semis and used tractor trailer rigs for sale online and on the side of the road. So now is the time to buy that used semi you've been thinking about before fuel prices drop - because then heavy truck prices will go back up. Or maybe you are considering going into a different type of business that involves using heavy equipment.
Whatever you are looking for you are sure to find it at Used Heavy Equipment.

CHANGE CAN BE FOR THE BETTER

Sometimes it's ok to change - if the change is going to be for the better - change is always difficult at first...such as when my husband and I decided to get out of trucking 2 years ago. We came to the conclusion that it just wasn't worth it anymore. The insurance and fuel costs were killing us and we were fighting all the time about money. After sitting down and doing the math my husband finally agreed that it was time for a change. He misses driving his old Kenworth but I am happy he is at home more. At first it didn't seem like we were getting ahead as the big checks weren't coming in but we also weren't paying those huge bills either. After a few months he could see that it was the right decision. He does land clearing locally-and is now able to hang out at the local diner - a more leisurely pace - sees the neighbors more - works in the garage more. No more getting up at 4 am to rush to work - no more sitting in traffic - or rushing to meet delivery deadlines. The old Kenworth was sold to pay off the bills that had piled up from trucking - that was the hardest part. Be brave and do the math - there are other alternatives to trucking that you will find alot more profitable and less stressful in the long run.
