    Thank you for the tips. I learnt that spraying your bad with your favorite perfume makes it smell nicer when opening it. I always carry a sanitizer now as well as the hand lotion cause my hands get dry pretty quickly now with the use of sanitizer

    Oh my goodness, I thought I was alone with this horror. I’m a paranoid Patsy and constantly tell my daughter to be mindful of placing a bag Willy nilly on toilet floors and wash areas. She says I overreact much and will even give me her things to keep in my bag to avoid hearing me remind her. One can’t be too careful. We don’t know what is on that floor…..
