we have a lot less visitors over the years, because we live in a very rural area
and don't wear our 'out-side' shoes 'inside' = we have found that it seems to be
a real 'burden' for people to respect this rule that we do ourselves, some actually
are offended that we don't want wild animal '....', being brought in to our living
quarters...we found a way around this by making the garage that leads into our
house a 'man-woman-cave', with lots of chairs...
also, always remember to never 'touch' the door handles of stores that you are
going into, and don't ever touch the toilet handles or the doors going out, as many
don't wash their hands anyway...
I always carry a good disinfectant - and I have read that 'menus' are a terrible
carrier for germs; clean those hands after ordering, or you might just get more
than you bargained for...
and don't forget about 'money and change', they say it is one of the worst carriers
of international 'germs'...what's the big deal about carrying a little vial of alcohol???
I could go 'on and on', but most simply just keep going 'on and on' the same ways
that they 'always have'...
we've discovered that when trying to plant good seed, it is often taken in a negative way,
and we really do try and be polite, as well as good examples, as we can't even remember
when we last 'caught-something'...
