...are super crummy. That is all. :( P.S. The photo of Willie Aames is for me to look at. Hopefully it will temporarily take some of the pain away from my mouth and reroute it to my brain.

Is the five second rule a good one?

snazzygina — Thu, 10 May 2007 21:39:39 GMT

I've always wondered about this, "Five Second Rule" everyone talks about. Thank GOD someone else wondered and did a damn study for me. :) May 9, 2007 The Curious Cook The Five-Second Rule Explored, or How Dirty Is That Bologna? By HAROLD McGEE A COUPLE of weeks ago I saw a new scientific paper from Clemson University that struck me as both pioneering and hilarious. Accompanied by six graphs, two tables and equations whose terms include “bologna” and “carpet,” it’s a thorough microbiological study of the five-second rule: the idea that if you pick up a dropped piece of food before you can count to five, it’s O.K. to eat it. I first heard about the rule from my then-young children and thought it was just a way of having fun at snack time and lunch. My daughter now tells me that fun was part of it, but they knew they were playing with “germs.” We’re reminded about germs on food whenever there’s an outbreak of E. coli or salmonella, and whenever we read the labels on packages of uncooked meat. But we don’t have much occasion to think about the everyday practice of retrieving and eating dropped pieces of food. Microbes are everywhere around us, not just on floors. They thrive in wet kitchen sponges and end up on freshly wiped countertops. As I write this column, on an airplane, I realize that I have removed a chicken sandwich from its protective plastic sleeve and put it down repeatedly on the sleeve’s outer surface, which was meant to protect the sandwich by blocking microbes. What’s on the outer surface? Without the five-second rule on my mind I wouldn’t have thought to wonder. I learned from the Clemson study that the true pioneer of five-second research was Jillian Clarke, a high-school intern at the University of Illinois in 2003. Ms. Clarke conducted a survey and found that slightly more than half of the men and 70 percent of the women knew of the five-second rule, and many said they followed it. She did an experiment by contaminating ceramic tiles with E. coli, placing gummy bears and cookies on the tiles for the statutory five seconds, and then analyzing the foods. They had become contaminated with bacteria. For performing this first test of the five-second rule, Ms. Clarke was recognized by the Annals of Improbable Research with the 2004 Ig Nobel Prize in public health. It’s not surprising that food dropped onto bacteria would collect some bacteria. But how many? Does it collect more as the seconds tick by? Enough to make you sick? Prof. Paul L. Dawson and his colleagues at Clemson have now put some numbers on floor-to-food contamination. Their bacterium of choice was salmonella; the test surfaces were tile, wood flooring and nylon carpet; and the test foods were slices of bread and bologna. First the researchers measured how long bacteria could survive on the surfaces. They applied salmonella broth in doses of several million bacteria per square centimeter, a number typical of badly contaminated food. I had thought that most bacteria were sensitive to drying out, but after 24 hours of exposure to the air, thousands of bacteria per square centimeter had survived on the tile and wood, and tens of thousands on the carpet. Hundreds of salmonella were still alive after 28 days. Professor Dawson and colleagues then placed test food slices onto salmonella-painted surfaces for varying lengths of time, and counted how many live bacteria were transferred to the food. On surfaces that had been contaminated eight hours earlier, slices of bologna and bread left for five seconds took up from 150 to 8,000 bacteria. Left for a full minute, slices collected about 10 times more than that from the tile and carpet, though a lower number from the wood. What do these numbers tell us about the five-second rule? Quick retrieval does mean fewer bacteria, but it’s no guarantee of safety. True, Jillian Clarke found that the number of bacteria on the floor at the University of Illinois was so low it couldn’t be measured, and the Clemson researchers resorted to extremely high contamination levels for their tests. But even if a floor — or a countertop, or wrapper — carried only a thousandth the number of bacteria applied by the researchers, the piece of food would be likely to pick up several bacteria. The infectious dose, the smallest number of bacteria that can actually cause illness, is as few as 10 for some salmonellas, fewer than 100 for the deadly strain of E. coli. Of course we can never know for sure how many harmful microbes there are on any surface. But we know enough now to formulate the five-second rule, version 2.0: If you drop a piece of food, pick it up quickly, take five seconds to recall that just a few bacteria can make you sick, then take a few more to think about where you dropped it and whether or not it’s worth eating.

Don't WIG out!

snazzygina — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 17:05:39 GMT

I went to a "wig" party on Saturday night. On Sunday morning Lucas was experimenting with my wig. So funny!

The barf train stops....here.

snazzygina — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 18:17:39 GMT

Yup, it's hit us again. I guess that Norovirus is virulent and spreading everywhere right now. Emma came home yesterday with the barfs. She threw up in the middle of an all school assembly. Poor thing. She didn't seem too upset about it. She kinda shrugged her shoulders and said, "Yeah, I barfed....big deal." She was the 3rd kid to go home yesterday having barfed at school. YIKES. So, yesterday was spent sanitizing EVERYTHING in the bathrooms, bedrooms and kitchen. I am on my 7th load of laundry since yesterday at 1. This morning Lucas threw up just a smidge. I can't tell if it was just a "burp-barf" or if it's a precursor of what's to come. He says he feels fine... but yesterday Emma kept saying the same thing. SHEESH! I'm done on this friggin' ride. I wanna get OFF!

snazzygina — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 20:23:38 GMT

Oh, it's here. The sore/scratchy throat, watery eyes, drippy nose, and the general all over achy feeling. I knew that I wasn't getting enough sleep this week and that it might attack me. I'm attacking right back, though! So far today I have had vitamins, 2 airbornes, 1 cup of herbal tea, and 2 clementines. (I bought a WHOLE box of the clementines this morning) This cold is very subtle and might even go away. I can feel it lingering and wondering if it will attack or not. Hopefully it will see how strong my defenses are and back the hell OFF! I want my 4 day weekend to be FUN and EXCITING. I absolutely refuse to be bed ridden. HARRUMMPPHH!

Crash!!!!

snazzygina — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 04:13:22 GMT

Yesterday, Wednesday, I got into a car wreck. It was the worst of my life and it was ALL MY FAULT. I'll start from the beginning. Wednesdays are tough. I have to leave work early, pick up my youngest from Santa Clara, then drive him back to Campbell for a weekly appointment. Then, while he is in getting his head shrunk, I go and get Emma from daycare. Well, as I was pulling out of the VERY SKETCHY driveway, I looked left, then right, and then I went for it. Yes, I was on my freakin' phone. I SHOULD have put the phone down and safely pulled out, but I didn't. I slammed right into some man. It happened so fast. I looked left, like I said, then right, and then I pulled out. Next thing I remember was after. I just knew I crashed, but I don't remember it happening. My head slammed the window, but that was it. My neck is a little tweaked, I have a bruise on my left shoulder blade, and my lower back is sore. The other guy was older...and VERY cranky. I tried telling him I was so very sorry and he just glared at me and shook his head. I guess he was pretty shook up, though. After initially getting out of his car and taking pictures, he went back to his car (in the middle of the street) and just sat there. The paramedics and firemen eventually talked him into going to the hospital in an ambulance. I have good coverage, and luckily it is all being taken care of. He had a shitmobile, so hopefully they can just give him a nice check and he can buy himself a new car. Hopefully. Sheesh, I feel horrible about all of this. So irresponsible and lazy of me. I have just been doing too much, though, I think. Way too much. Luckily I'm going away for the weekend, so I can relax and get some perspective. I have great friends who have helped me through all of this. Everyone has been so great to me and no one called me an idiot...although I have told myself that many times since yesterday. :( I keep seeing it happen over and over in my head. Saying, "what if I had done this or that a little different, then maybe this never would have happened." I hate that.

It's hard when you have your mind set on something and the rug gets pulled out from beneath you without warning. It's a desperate feeling to see plans float away like bubbles, pop, and disappear within seconds. The only thing I how to do in a situation like that is to act, "as if." To do the next right thing, as my good friend Tina would say. I know what I have to do, and I need to just do it. By doing the next right thing I am setting my brain in a mode of getting through what is so hard. Instead of letting myself get distracted with sadness during the day, I save it for the night when I can be by myself and let it all out. I must be strong for my kids, for they are the only family I have now. I am putting one new stone in front of me everyday, to stand on. Pretty soon I will look behind me and see a path. A path that walks away from another lesson learned.

Fart-a-licious

snazzygina — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 04:20:35 GMT

Okay...SO, I learned how to make Hummus. The right way. And when I say the right way, I mean the hardcore way. When I say the hardcore way, I mean, with the fart juice and everything. Let me explain. You take Garbanzo beans in the can and boil the beans IN THE JUICES. That is where all the fart potential is. Then when you put the beans into the blender, you use the fart JUICE to blend in the beans and other ingredients. It tastes AMAZING. Only problem is that I ate some at 7:30, and I have TOXIC gas now. Right now. It's here already. I ate about 4 Tablespoons. That is all. So, the moral of the story is. If you have a person in your life that you really want to torture, have a slumber party...and make hummus the "right" way. ;) Fart on, Sisters and Brothers.

I haven't been active on Tribe in some time. My life has taken a big twist, pulling me up into a spiral and I feel like I've just now been plopped back down to have some reflection. My divorce will be final in about a month. We're going in to sign the Marital Settlement Agreement next week. I can't believe we've done all the negotiations through a mediator. We've completely avoided lawyers and courts. I guess that alone has saved us thousands of dollars in fees. That is a good thing considering I have only enough money each month to pay rent, buy food and gas, and provide the essentials for my kids. But, I'm not going to complain. The essentials are really all one needs in life to be happy. Sure it would be fun to be rich and have lots of money...but if I had that, then what would I covet next? It's ALWAYS something. :) I'm working now. I have a respectable job working for a property management company. I'm the solo force in the escrow/collections department. It's nice. I don't have anyone breathing down my neck as long as I get my packages and letters out on time. I couldn't have asked for a better job after not working for so many years. Overall things are good. My kids are healthy, I have a wonderful boyfriend, a roof over my head, and a smile on my face. I am ready to take on anything life brings. I feel strong and capable. BRING IT!

My beautiful girl

snazzygina — Sat, 11 Mar 2006 00:28:59 GMT

Emma. She's my gorgeous girl. Always looking for the good. Engery pours out of her. She tries her hardest to be the first, best, and number one...But, never throws a tantrum when she's not. She's engaging and fascinating. I can have long deep conversations with her and she gets things she shouldn't. I am taking her to therapy next week. I am afraid that part of her might have been broken when she witnessed my X abusing me and getting arrested in June. I want her to stay herself. I don't want her to change. I'm doing the best I can.

This girl rocks my world....

snazzygina — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 23:58:54 GMT

I signed up for a 5k at the end of March, but I'm thinking about persuing the 10k. I can wait until race day to decide. My goal is to run 9 miles per week. (I ran 3 yesterday...and was fairly comfortable) I am on two soccer teams, so that helps with the endurance. I'm excited. Running with my music just before dusk is a moving experience for me. I get locked in a frame of mind where nothing matters. It's just me, the pavement, and my music. AMAZING!
