Page Turner Posted November 28, 2021 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2021 ...I still close off one nostril for the farmer's nose blow, when I'm riding my bike. I know this is gross, and disgusting, and I still don't care. Another advantage of being old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call that a "snot rocket". I've used them on dogs chasing me. I imagine it's pretty funny when the owner pets the dog later. That's what they deserve for letting the dog run free. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm treating everything as an imbalance of the humors now. Also thinking of ordering some leeches from Amazon Prime. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women with long hair below their armpit, etc. I've noticed tend to stroke their hair... Or much longer hair. I've noticed it on women with fairly long hair, in their 30's, 40's, etc. at meetings. One thing: may not be a good idea to do it at a job interview. With short hair, I lost that habit several decades ago, unless my overgrown bangs are hanging in my eyes...and that's while I'm cycling, not sitting at meetings. Sometimes I might prop my chin under my hand at a lengthy videocam meeting. I've reached a point, that I don't need to be perfectly stone straight on camera while listening to colleagues.

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 28, 2021 Share #12 Posted November 28, 2021 No. I'm always taking my glasses off and rubbing my eyes. It will probably kill me someday. And I avoid women with long hair below the armpits^^^^ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried about virus spreading.. 'cause it's just me around here. Usually when I come home, I inevitably wash my hands or turn on water to feel water temp.

shootingstar Posted November 28, 2021 Share #14 Posted November 28, 2021 When I'm cycling, depending on the weather conditions, sometimes I have to wipe tears from eyes ....cold temperature from warm indoor temp., or sun beating into my eyes too long. Of course, problem of snot while riding after awhile.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted November 28, 2021 Share #15 Posted November 28, 2021 No, I still touch my face, but wash my hands a lot. And probably splash water on my face 2 or 3 times a day. I wish I did not touch my face so much but I still do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to clean the light switches and doorknobs twice a day. It’s easy to forget. Maybe I should try bleach wipes for the convenience.

By the time Covid hit she was bedridden and didn’t go anywhere to pick up germs. When no stores had anything disinfectant we never ran out but I hardly used that stuff. I used it at the local grocery store to wipe the cart and my hands when I was done but the LGS supplied that. He also supplied rubber gloves if you wanted to wear them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
