Well my thought process was more that you walk through spit, you walk in your house then your kid crawls on the floor or maybe you put your purse on the floor....

Maybe that is irrational. Probably.

It is still gross.

Much like you are unlikely to catch something from (ugh) shower snot rockets because the hot water and soap in the shower, you don't lick the shower floor, etc, but that doesn't make it not disgusting.

MattsPenguin

Who the eff spits on the floor of their house!?!

The only time I spit NOT into a trash can, is when I'm running, and I spit towards the grass.

ETA:  Chrissy apparently has better reading comprehension than I do.  And yes, you track in all sorts of things on your shoes.  So either take them off or clean your floors more.

<div>I don't really care if it is actually germy or not, it's still nasty.  I'm completely with you.</div>

eorea

Alright. I'm orange and Chrissy is red. Pick your colors before all the good ones are taken.

MattsPenguin

If green isn't taken, I'll take it.  I like red and green the best.  I'll also take yellow if it's the only available color.

MyUserName1

Wait, only one person can be each color?  That doesn't seem right...

MattsPenguin

Maybe we'll choose to be on a team.  Kind of like the houses at Hogwarts.

[QUOTE]Ever thought about have a shoe free house, Harp?
Posted by crfb87[/QUOTE]

I do have one, but I don't make guests take theirs off.  I tell them they can if they find it more comfortable.  Most of them do.  I feel it's rude to force people to take off any article of clothing, lol.

But again, it's more about the ugh factor as sumdood spits a foot from your shoes as you walk past than the actual germ concerns.

<div>I think that's a great plan.</div><div>

eorea

We'll do teams then. I've never heard of sour belts. They sound good though.

adamar15

Man I wanted to be team green, but now that we've compared it HP green makes me think of Slytherin.  I ain't no Slytherin!

MattsPenguin

Hmmm . . .go with red or green . . . red or green . . . .

I think green!!!!

ETA: Adamar, I don't want to be Slytherin either.  This is sour patch though.  I think that green just shows that you like to be refreshing and have some zest in your life!  We're not just boring ol' red!

"when I finish a regular sized bag of Sour Patch Kids, my eyes gleam red and I'm like: "WHY HAS THIS BAG EMPTIED!! SOMEONE GIVE ME FIVE MORE BAGS OR EVERYONE'S DEAD!!!". "

From Mindy Kaling's super old blog.

I think of this every time I eat sour candies.

[QUOTE]I'm going to say that Sour Patch Extreme's are the best. Love those things.  I also appear to be the only one that likes the yellow regular SPKs, I guess I'll keep those all to myself. Also, I'm now tempted to go to the store and buy a big bucket thing of sour gummy worms. WHY ARE YOU TEMPTING ME.

Yes.  Yes you should.

I feel like it is. Maybe one day I'll finally read it.

I like re-reading HP even now I don't really enjoy the movies so I stopped going to them.

Actually, I don't get why I'm somewhat of a germaphobe either.  I have a better than average immune system (as judged by the fact I only took 2 sick days last year).  It might come from growing up with an immune-compromised little sister where we were constantly in fear about her health and she would get sick repeatedly dispite all precautions... Or it could be I'm just weird.

That said, I would never offer to pop another persons zit, and I would have no problem using a bar of soap someone else had used.  I also take public transportation every day, which is germ city.  It grosses me out a bit if I think about it but it doesn't <em>distress</em> me, persay, so mine is probably not a true phobia.

ALSO:  Team Orange Sour Patch!

I remember that, Meg. Okay. I'll read HP but someone has to keep on me about it or I'll forget. Or cheat and watch the movies.

Beanie, mine does not have my major either.  lazy jerkfaces.

And Chrissy, you just made me feel really, really old.

[QUOTE]HP is fab.  I first read them in like 4th or 5th grade.  Right before the 4th book was coming out.  I finished the first 3 before the 4th came out.  I have done the midnight release parties for every book since then. They are very well written.
Posted by crfb87[/QUOTE]

Gawsh you're a youngin'!!

I started reading them my junior year of college.  The 5th came out the summer after my junior year.  My roommate and I shared the book and kept track of our place on the white board in our apartment.

It was a great summer!! 

(We also took thermodynamics that summer, and a kid at the front of the class had a British accent.  We kept mumbling to him "SAY SPELLS!! SAY SPELLS!!  Wingardium-leviosa!"
