What am I afraid of? (I answer honestly-- worse case scenarios). Then I ask myself, "and then what?" I keep answering and then I ask myself to access the risk. Is this HIGHLY likely to happen or very unlikely (most of the time the risk is very small). Then I think about all the other people in the world who touch garbage cans and continue on and they seem okay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-48659499636716294462011-07-24T15:41:20.277-04:002011-07-24T15:41:20.277-04:00Karin asked:

Not clean ones inside MCD's for example, where they just open it up and take out the garbage bag, but 'dirty' ones- the ones that might get touched by the garbage truck or overflowing garbage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-85747936781070107122011-07-22T15:20:00.437-04:002011-07-22T15:20:00.437-04:00I (Elizabeth) am Lady Delphinium by the way.I (Elizabeth) am Lady Delphinium by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-80160371313472017152011-07-22T15:18:57.443-04:002011-07-22T15:18:57.443-04:00I am glad to know that you got my comments.

I will try commenting as anonymous and see if it shows up.<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean about those feelings when the trash container bumps your leg. I too used to shower and change clothes after that. It is so stressful, isn't it?!<br /><br />Elizabeth-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910527796780560606.post-58039185261910876182011-07-22T14:21:09.234-04:002011-07-22T14:21:09.234-04:00@ Lady Delphinium:
Hi! Yes, i got your comments ...@ Lady Delphinium:<br /><br />Hi! Yes, i got your comments in my email box. I was confused when i didn/t see it at the blog site, but then i can't comment at all except under 'anonymous', so what computers do is a mystery to me and i just go with the flow!<br /> <br /><br />Actually you are better with the garbage than i am. ON garbage take-out day i do that and then have a shower, not just wash my hands. Once upon a time, i could do that. I can take the empty trash container back up the drive way and just wash my hands, unless it bumps my leg. Then, so far, a shower is involved or if i have long pants on it may just involve changing clothes. Glad to know that you are improving. That means i can too! Patience is not my strong suit, tho!<br /><br /><br />KarinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
