Getting supplies

Here's my advice.
Don't smile.
If you smile people think your approachable.
If you don't smile or occasionally scowl, folks tend to keep thier distance.

i'll make sure to fake sneeze alot, too.

update on where to get alcohol for hand sanitizing: The paint store had plenty of denatured alcohol. I stopped using a bleach solution on a washcloth. I read on the Clorox site that it degrades after 24 hours and doesn't work. Now I soak a washcloth in the alcohol and put it in a baggy. The straight alcohol will kill anything and doesn't degrade over time. Stay safe out there!

Oops! I think I already posted that! Maybe it's affecting my brain? Oh well! Better stupid than sick, right?

A couple of health and safety tips.

1. Denatured alcohol is generally made undrinkable by adding methanol or benzene, both of which are (deliberately) toxic and both of which are readily absorbed through the skin.

2. Absolute ethanol is less effective as a microbicide than 70% ethanol.

good to know! Thank you! I guess it's off to the liquor store for some grain alcohol tomorrow!
