"ALL" was prob a bit strong...should have put a "just" in there.
How do i know...? I've read alot of papers on the differences between active agents contained in cleaning chemicals and hand care products - how they work etc - and have read up on theories such as this.
But then...stranger things have happened than the "super germ" so...

as someone once told me....I've been polluted by NZer's".....i prefer marmite over vegemite.
(still like it tho)
Maybe this is what i have bee doing wrong ... vegemite = happiness

Nobody has prob heard of it, but "Black Belt Jones" is a classic.
70's Karate flick - totally politically incorrect. Bloody funny!

one of the guys i work with has gout...and it's pretty painful apparently...so doubt if you have it.
prob a circulation thing. get acupuncture & massage...or buy sheepskin slippers

ok...dont ask me how i know this...but...
The theory on the development of a "super-bug" is just that...a theory. All testing todate has proven that bugs do not become resistant to consistently used antibac cleaners.
In saying that, there has been a huge trend over the last few yrs to move away from using anti-bac cleaners in places other than toilet bowls (places where there could be infections etc)....instead people are using Micro-fibre cloths which clean without chemicals. Or alternatively they are using "detergent" based cleaners (which use the ph level to breakdown dirt), in conjunction with good ol elbow grease.
The main reasons for this are:
1. Anti-bacterials are not particularly good "cleaners"(don't remove dirt very well)
2. Commercial Cleaners don't want to pay for chemicals so they are moving to micro-fibre as it enables them to be more competitive. (but there are only certain things this is good for)
3. Chemicals can damage surfaces and people.
4. Some peeps believe in the superbug theory.
"Natural" Cleaners such as Citrus based or Orange cleaners have become fairly popular, but they really are abit of a fad - it's all in the marketing.
They contain citric acid, which can be VERY harsh...depending upon the concentration. Also there are other drawbacks with them such as the level of residue they leave etc.

hey...sorry...didn't realise i sounded serious!

When i was wee....my mom used to have a popcorn popping machine. Not one of the noisy air ones like you get today...but one that looked like a frying pan with a big clear bowl on the top. You'd put a bit of oil in the bottom then the kernals - put the lid on and watch it pop. AAAHHH thems were the good'ol days! I loved watching it pop. Prob cause we'd have it only when there was a "special" on tv and i'd get to stay up late.
I love popcorn.
And...by the way...it is actually good for you if you don't put alot of butter and salt on it. - lotsa fibre.
-
yup you both roobarbed that didn't you?!
-
That is some seriously funny stuff.

What a stud.
She's only 40 so she'll be around to raise the child. Good on them.
-
The first few days i was on a board i fell.....alot. All i can suggest is learn to board when the snow is powdery or soft. If it's icey...forget about it....way tooooo painful.
But then, unlike me, you are prob very coordinated (i for one cannot do the standing on one leg test) and might not.

sehwhaaa??
-
I can't read...i end up just reading into the wee hours wanting to see what happens next....get gritty eyes and prob even less sleep.
stroke...ahhh... i mean stoke....
Designating a specific room for only sleep sounds like a good idea. impractical but a good idea none the less.
I have on a few occasions resorted to drinking wine - but end up waking up feeling like poos.
so still ain't sleepin.
anybody have any tips on how to dream more?? (for future ref 4 once i finally get some sleep)
-
lemme guess....Ranchmans??
-
b4 answering let me ask you this...
Can you stand on one leg, pat your head and rub your tummy...all at the same time?
(this is of course the ultimate test of coordination)
-
Very dry and powdery
Just too damn cold to brave the long ride up the chairlift!
-
What do you do when you just CAN'T sleep??!
-
-32c but -60c or so with the wind chill. That was in Calgary Canada. Dunno if that wind-chill temp is accurate but that's what it said on the news...but it felt bloody cold....so cold that when you sniffed you nostrils would just about freeze shut. EEEEEP!

At Mt Ruapehu(NZ)....ok it's not japan but.....they scan season passes when you get on the lifts, which is sweet cause you can get a printout of how many days you've got in over the season. Which is great for when you get so many in that you lose count!
