WalMart' What's Wrong Here?

I mean, seriously!?

This is the sink in my local WalMart. The whole bathroom is "touchless". From the toilets, to the towel dispenser, you don't have to touch anything when using this bathroom, except....

I was using this exact basin to wash my hands, and the whole time, my knuckels and the back of my hand were rubbing the bottom of the basin. While I was washing all the germs I didn't get off.

I mean the whole idea of the touchless faucet is great. No handles to mess with, with no telling who's germs are residing on them. And, no telling what else is usually on them. Hell, I'm sure Dr. Oz could find something on them that will cause cancer and kill you in the next three days. UNLESS, you scour them with alcohol and vinegar. Then, he'll give you five days to live. I can't stand Dr. Oz, but that's a subject for another day. They also have the touchless paper towel dispensers, and hand driers, and those are ok and work perfectly fine. Not so much the faucets. First off, you have to put your hands under the sensor and find the sweet spot to get it to turn on. See the black square on the front of there? That's the sensor, and guess where the water comes from and you have to put your hands? Under the little half moon piece that the sensor in on the front of. And, then when you go to lather your hands, you lose it and have to find it again. They put out three streams of water that's barely enough to get a finger wet, so that takes you ten minutes to rinse the soap off. But, what's even worse is the distance from the faucet from the fucking bottom of the basin. You have maybe five, six inches (approximately 12, 17 cm for you metric folks) of clearance between them. And, if you're of any size at all, such as myself, your damn hands rub the bottom of the damn basin while your washing and rinsing your hands. So, you're sitting here rinsing your hands in a catch tub of bacteria, viriuses, germs, and disease. But, it's a touchless faucet so it's more sanitary. Now, I'm not exactly a germaphobe, hell I don't even really give a shit, I'll eat a side of cow off the fucking ground, raw and not even think twice about it. The way I look at it is my body, white blood cells, and immune system need a work out to stay tuned up like they should. Yes, I do wash my hands regularly when I preparing food. But, other than that fuck it, unless they're just nasty. But, that's not why I mention the WalMart sinks, it's the principle and idea of it. Just the sheer irony of the situation. They want to be a sterile as possible, using touchless faucets, towel dispensers, hand dryers, toilets, and urinals. But, in the end, after not touching all that shit, you have to set your hands in the bottom of the sink to wash all the germs you didn't get by not touching anything.

Humm, wonder where all the washed off germs go...before they go down the drain?

Well I'll Be.... A Scentsy Man This Weekend

Well, we got two events booked this weekend to sell this Scentsy stuff. I like the stuff personally, use it myself, wouldn't sell it if I didn't like it and use it. And, I'll start loving it when I can retire by selling it. But, till then, it's strictly a like relationship. It's a good product, and very safe, for those of you that have little fingers running around. I actually stuck my finger in the melted wax, while the warmer was on, to see how hot it was. (We're sitting here telling people that their kid could stick their finger in the melted wax and it wouldn't burn them, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't lying to them.) Yea, it was pretty warm, almost hot, but no where near burning temperature. But, I digress. Back to the double booking, my wife is going to be at the 27th Annual Firefighters Chili Cook Off and Car and Bike Show at the Grady County Oklahoma Fair Grounds, (I cheated a little bit, I had to take a few pictures of the cars that were already in the building). And, I will be across town at The Reding Farm Corn Maize. Yea, momma gets to sample a hundred or so batches of chili for three bucks, but me... I get to eat some smoked brisket and sip some free samples from local wineries. And, for my viewing pleasure, I have the perfect view of the playground to watch the little carpet sharks play. And, I get to sit back and reminisce on how my little (hells) angels used to be so innocent and care free and less...."Daddy I need."  Also, a friend of mine will be joining me, so I won't be left to my own devices on it, kinda. He's thinking about joining up and selling the stuff himself, so I get to show him how it's done, and what kind of potential there is in this.

Keepin' It Sweet

Yes! Here it is! Five inches of Red Velvet goodness, and as you may suspect, yes there is another piece of cookie under all that delectable sugary sour cream icing oozing out of the sides.

This and other delicious baked goodness can be had at Keepin' It Sweet here in the grand city of Chickasha, Oklahoma. My other favorites are the Mint Chocolate Chip cupcake, and the Chocolate cupcake with peanut butter icing. Both with three inches of icing on top. This is the stuff that'll make you fat just by looking at a picture. Maybe that's why my wife calls me her honeypotamus. lol

She really calls me her honeypottedness, I changed it around a bit. :)



A Tout Le Monde

"à tout le monde, à tous mes amis, je vous aime, je dois partir" translated to English is respectively: "To everyone, to all my friends, I love you, I must leave



R.I.P. Brother

Four years ago this world lost a wonderful human being. Not only was he a fellow roughneck, he was a comrade, a friend, and a brother to those who knew him well. He'd give you the shirt off his back, shoes off his feet, and the pants off his ass if you need them. Worked harder than any three men and stronger than an ox. Damon Erick Figgeroa left this world a better place because he made an impact on those he met and more so those whom he befriended. He will be forever missed yet never forgotten. Rest in peace brother, see ya on the flip side of this life.

Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit

Drew Manning is a personal trainer who has set out to gain about fifty or sixty pounds in six months and then lose it again, for the first time. I came across this story on Yahoo's home page. He has always been into staying fit and healthy, and became a certified personal trainer after college. And, it seems that he has done very well for himself. He stood at six foot two and a shade over a hundred and ninety pounds, with damn near eight pack abs, when he started this journey. At the time of his Yahoo interview he had about a month left before he went back to eating healthy and exercising, and has thus far gained seventy pounds, ten more than his projected weight gain. He decided to gain the extra weight to see for him self just how hard it is to be fat and to lose the weight and get in shape. He related the food cravings for some foods as akin to an addiction. I would like you to check out his Yahoo interview and his Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit website.

Random Thoughts.

What do they do if you're on a game show and you win a trip to where you live?

What if a cripple wins mountian bikes?

Guud Music.

While playing around on the internet. Well, while job hunting and playing some Youtube music videos in the background. I came across a few bands that I've never heard of and really enjoyed. So, being the generous peroson that I am, I am gong to share some of these with you. Hope you enjoy. This first song Old Man by Redlight Kings I've heard on the radio and just loved, but never heard who it was, nor the name of the song, but I had a good guess on that, lol. I ran across it on accident today, added an upbeat to the day.

Ok, so the last two videos aren't exactly new finds for me. Anti-Mortem is from my home town of Chickasha, Oklahoma, I invite you to check 'em out on their Facebook page. So, this was kinda an Oklahomas Own post also. XD

Now Here's A Good Message

While perusing through YouTube for another video blog I'm working on, I came across this video by Rise Against and the message is phenomenal. It relates to an earlier blog on bullying that I wrote a while back. It's just sad how kids just pick on others to make themselves feel better, even if it's for just a little while. Which in turn brings about drug abuse later because they get the same high with much less effort, at first anyway. And, what's sad is that it is beginning to be displayed by adults more and more. Use to it was just keeping up with the Joneses kind of thing, who has the bigger, better, badder stuff. Now, it's gotten to where grown ass men and women are fighting over stupid shit like a baby doll for their kid. Or, they gang up on some poor soul and beat the shit out of him because he's a gay, or black, or wears a different brand of shoes. Shouting fattot and fairy, nigger and coon, hillbilly and trash. It's fucking ridiculous, and needs to stop. And, when it's gone too damn far these people end up dead. Either from being beat to death, plain ass murdered, or from suicide, like the kids in this video almost do.
