I remember all the little old czech ladies in prague who wore cheap white cotton gloves when on public transit. I wondered about it and then saw how filthy they'd get. So I tried really hard to stop thinking about it.

Coincidentally, I saw someone with gloves on MUNI for the first time today. However, since he was also dressed as if he was a member of the Russian mafia, I can only hope they were for a germy purpose.

Now I want to take wipes with me to the grocery store.

Yeah. I was all, "Crazy germphobes with their sanitizing wipes at grocery stores." Then I read something that pointed out grocery carts are never washed, or if they are, they are washed like once a year. I literally felt my stomach roll. I guess I had never really thought about it.

Why white? I mean, then you would KNOW. Better to wear black and never see the filth.

Don't ever start thinking about cash currency. Just...don't. Or if you do, stick to plastic.

If I'm putting on my resume that I am not FLUENT in Spanish or French, but that I can speak and understand Spanish pretty good, and French OK (though with French, mostly understand/read)....how would I put that, as a bullet point?

I KNOW. Except for the bills and coins that get washed in the machine these days.Then at least they have been cleaned. Was it the Fairmount hotel that washes all its change before they give it to guests?

Meara, maybe "working knowledge of" or "familiarity with"

No idea. Except they looked really low quality, so blame the remnants of soviet industry and its lackings?

Now I want to take wipes with me to the grocery store.

They have them near the carts at my TJs and Whole Foods. I don't usually use them- I just wash my hands when I get home. I mean, dang, I'm going to be handling meat and produce and whatever while I'm in there. I also take public transportation and touch rails and handles and stuff, so I guess I'm not personally pinged by surface area contamination. I just wash my own hands with soap and water regularly.

I fear the zorb would make me pukey though.
