I have been for the last 8 years avoid touching any public door if it is not a self opening door to a public place. Using a public bathroom is also another challenge. I will use my foot, or leg, to open the door and when finished in the bathroom, use the paper towel to open the door. I will not enter any establishment where there is any types of crowds. Especially with todays H1N1, I won't hand shake anyone bare handed unless ofcoarse I have on gloves.

 

How about everyone else? Do you practice a similar technique daily?

 

I also will not go into any big populated area like NYC. Ever since the 911 and Anthrax incident, never again would I go into NYC. Not that NYC is not safe today and not to discourage people from going there, or relocating elsewhere if you reside there, I just feel that in todays world, it is too much of a ticking time bomb. I do commend the NYPD and all the others who keep it safe today.

 

They had on the news over the weekend, that some churches are doing the same stuff i practice and encourage people not to shake hands with others, so that germs can't be spread. I have not gotten sick from any flu since practicing this technique.

Just keep your hands off your face when in public areas. dont rub your eyes or your nose without cleaning your hands first.

I, for one, haven't been to NYC since 1983. :D

 

Seriously though, you'd be better off washing your hands a couple times per day, and not watching TV. :nonod:

I'm not so sure why people are so paranoid about h1n1....... The mortality rate is lower then typical influenza and you dont see people freak out over the normal flu......

Agreed. I try to use the hand sanitizers when I can. Otherwise just go about my business as I would regardless. Would I not visit anywhere for fear of my safety. Not in the USA.

 

I'm gonna die someday. Might as do some stupid shit on a dare, visit everywhere I can, and enjoy it all without worring about a cold or anything happening. Too much other shit to worry about besides getting sick.

 

Like coupes in parking lots - those I will avoid.

I don't touch anything in public bathrooms, except myself :D

 

And at the first sign of a cold or flu, use a neti pot to rinse my sinuses, drink 6-8 ounces of whiskey, and go to bed. In the morning, I'm fine, with no sign of sickness. I've been doing this routine as needed for the last decade or so, and have not had a single cold or flu in that time.

Hey Dave (OP),

 

Did you wear rubber gloves when you beat the shit out of that guy in the road rage incident last year?

 

Just curious?

I only have sex with barn animals and I tend to stay very free from disease. I think I am on to something.

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

 

daddy is a free spirit. :D

 

On the serious side. I use hand sanitizer regularly depending on what I'm handling, not to the point of being obsessive about it. If I'm at a restaurant, I use it after reading the menu. Saw the study that was done where they tested them for germs, they are covered with nasty ones. Wipe down the cart handles at the grocery store. I see plenty of people coughing, sneezing, spitting on them. Usually try to get a cart that's out in the parking lot getting plenty of sun. Those are the two areas I am most wary of.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
