Time Gets Away From You….

It’s hard to believe how time flies.. I haven’t blogged in alittle while. I tend to use twitter more. With that you can just jot small sentences through-out the day. I am also now on Face-Book. that’s a great place to get in touch with old friends as well as make new ones..

Well today isn’t a very nice day. It’s been raining and overcast the past few days. I hope the weather soon clears, I wanna finish my mulching and planting flowers. Always so much to do during the summer. I love being outdoors…

I got this next story through my email and I wanted to share it.. It is very important to wash your soda cans, or do like I do, I never touch my lips to the can, I always use a straw. Now I am glad that I do…

This is Serious!


This incident happened recently in North Texas . A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died on Wednesday.

The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis.

Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances. It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part ofall soda cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.

A study at NYCU showed that the tops of all soda cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i.e.).. full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.
