"I've never heard of that! My husband snores at night, but doesn't bleed!"

My husband is on Coumadin (blood thinner) because he has an artificial valve. Any little scratch (from his watch at night as he forgets to take it off) and he bleeds.

But Devil, speaking of cleaning up. Did you catch I think it was a Dateline the other night on how clean we think Hotel's/Motel's are? They showed urine and semen and other body stuff were all over the place after the rooms were cleaned. All the way up the walls even. Some people are just gross.

I've known about the filth in hotel rooms for a very long time. That's why some hotels fold the blankets inside two flat sheets. It helps keep the blankets away from the skin. Don't ever sit on top of the hotel bed spread or furniture, naked, either. Remember that others have, before you.

I've heard of that blood thinner, and knew two people who were on it temporarily--one b/c he had a blood clot (it was called deep vein thrombosis), and the other b/c he had thrombophlebitis. Those two illnesses are obviously very similar, or at least related.

I was thinking something like that, when Eva said her husband was bleeding a lot. Or I was going to ask her if he was hemophiliac. Turns out he's just careless, lol.

As for hotel rooms, ewww. But it's really not surprising. I've seldom seen hotel custodians who looked (to me) like they did very much work. It's a good thing most biological materials are much less likely to get us sick when they have already dried.

The same could be said of restaurants. If you read George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London", his descriptions of behind the scenes at restaurants is pretty gross.
