Swine Flu Homemade Mask

OMG… that is the funniest thing I've seen lately.  I almost wet my pants.  Thanks for the great laugh.
Hugs!

Mimi, thank you for a good belly laugh.

Mimi,

So everyone is looking at you NUTS, with this “homemade” mask …huh?

It really is not that serious it’s called washing your hands and taking in vitamins and fruits and veggies to strengthen up your immune system to prevent from getting sick, and that needs to be done whether there is a flu virus H1N1 or not on this earth.

Mimi clearly you're doing this for attention and that's fine; we all have to get our fix or another, why not ride on the new fashion accessory, swine flu masks.

The serious problem is the fact that it needs to be announced that in order to prevent the flu from spreading people need to cover their mouths when they sneeze or cough.

I thought that lesson was covered in pre-school, silly me.

Hi Mimi.  I had to keep the guffaws to a low roar because I made the mistake of seeing this on my break!  I think I'm going to start a new fashion statement :)
Lou!  Have you not been to pre-school lately?  OMG  I am walking through a petri dish of disease at work every day 'cause these darn cute lil 3,4,and 5 year olds are wiping snot on my shoulder and sneezing directly in my face :)  And I'm not even the teacher! 
The lesson tends to come AFTER the sneeze – “go get a tissue and wipe your nose, then put it in the trash and wash your hands.”  Remember to sneeze into your sleeve (I'm demonstrating here) – we'll practice that when you get done wiping and washing.”  LOL 
I'd love to go by a pack of Fruit of the Loom undies for each of my darlings until they get the lesson.  They'd have the time of their life!!! The parents would think I'd lost my mind, though, so I'll just try not to laugh too hard the next time snot goes flying 'cause I'm gonna remember this picture!

Mimi, love this! I am stocking up on them right now :)

I just learned about sneezing and coughing into one's sleeve.  My mom teaches preschool and shared this with me.  And this method is up at all the doctors' offices.  I am one who used to go into work ill.  I realize  (I did practice good hygiene) how I was sharing my cold with others and, now with my own lung issues, I hope all those sick stay home as I no longer want to share this, thank you very much.

Lou, you are correct, the doctors did give those methods to help avoid getting cold/flu.  We also can get plenty of rest, destress, exercise - all things we could be doing anyway :)

And they weren't kidding when they said “laughter is the best medicine.”  I have heard of people overcoming stage four cancer by changing their diets, forgoing unhappy stuff, and adding large doses of laugher! 

So, lets get our our guffaws on :-D 

my Robert loved this, promised to send it to all his friends :) many thanks and big hugs!

I had to come back and update my comment – it turns out the teachers are starting to tell the kids to sneeze or cough by pulling the front of their shirts up over their noses :)  Apparently, the lil darlin's have such poor elbow nose coordination that they just sneeze and cough right past their lil elbows LOL :)
Better to have all that snot INSIDE their shirts than outside {{{{gigl}}}}

Just hope Fruit-of-the-Loom doesn't get a hold of this picture!
On Monday, Clorox Company which sells bleach and disenfectants, announced a 23% increase in profits, this year alone.
Dubious claims for H1N1 are rife online.
”Healing gels that create a barrier between you and the potential deadly virus now spreading across the globe” said one ad online.
Or “  'ionic silver' that kills every known pathogen, germ, bacteria, virus or fungus within six minutes” said another.
Go on Mimi, wear the Swine Flu “homemade” mask, if it puts a smile on your face, but stay away from ”healing gels” and ”ionic silver.”
Fake products present a real danger.  Not the H1N1 virus.
False products may give a false sense of protection.

whew I thought I might just go into cardiac arrest ( she says as she gives herself one last chest thump) having laughed  harder than I have all week,did you know laughter is incredible for the immune system?

I should be ok for a couple of years,got my shot just in case though, all you anti vaccineers bite me…..gently please

Some crotchety old fart thought that one up, eh? 

…come to think about it, don't some folks sell their soiled undies online?  I see a possible product combo here!  Oh, there's money to be made!
