One thing I know you’ll never do twice after having a bout of nausea and diarrhea simultaneously is to forget to use a liner (grocery bag at minimum) in your bathroom waste baskets.

If you ever had the squirts and felt the urge to heave, you really don’t want to heave into a load of trash. Or more accurately…you really don’t want to have to clean out a waste basket full of bathroom trash that’s been heave-sauced.

Be civilized, save your grocery bags and reuse them as can liners. Your heaveself will thank you for the easy pullout.

I am now trying to un-picture that.

I’m still trying to unsee the Norovirus warning.

May's avatar

or worse...... and yep I know firsthand.. you don't want to "leave" when you get the urge to 'heave" in search of an appropriate vomit bowl because , because nothing good EVER comes from de-throning yourself from the porcelain bowl during a tandem orifice shower spray. NO ONE, can time that perfectly :/

Valerie's avatar

Wow… that was surely, um, descriptive. 😬

May's avatar

and funny

Hopefully, there are new people here that can learn from this advice. I appreciate your description and hubby and I, ROFL.

We learned about it long ago.

May's avatar

I learned it the hardway too. Never leave a throne. Bad things happen

@Meddling- I had a wicker basket in my bathroom. Had to line it with grocery bags because I never knew when a panic attack or my divertiulosis would act up. However, I found those bags can have holes in them which makes cleaning up even worse. I now have a solid basket. i simply dump the trash onto the floor and have at it, flush the contents down the toilet, and clean it in the shower with the handheld.

Meddling Kid's avatar

Precisely my point, kittynana. You’ve been there, done that, and survived without having to clean vomit out of the cracks in the baseboards. 👍🏻🤣 But a solid can PLUS a liner of any sort makes the trash cleanup that much easier.

Romgrp's avatar

Oh my 🤣 ! A worthy tip!

Jennifer L.'s avatar

Meddling Kid, now, now you know those plastic bags are a no-no😂. Personally I hate using recycled plastic grocery bags that do not fit bathroom size trash cans. The medium size plastic trash bags are not that expensive and fit the containers much better so the “heave sauce” does not end up dribbling outside the handles of grocery store bags and into the can.

Meddling Kid's avatar

Jennifer, I admire your standards. A better bag is…well…better. I’m merely saying that AT MINIMUM, do not put a trash can in your bathroom with no liner when you are already coming home with plastic grocery bags that can be reused. Garage cans can be washed out.

Doug's avatar

Hey, if I'm already in the bathroom for that, I'm just sticking my head in the toilet.

And before anybody goes "eeewwww", note that I keep that sucker clean.

Meddling Kid's avatar

Doug, sweet Doug, no one is poo-pooing your toilet scrubbing skills. We’re merely pointing out that sometimes things happen in a sequence and manner that you aren’t prepared for, and no amount of courtesy flushing is going to clean away the upper-level colon spray where you are about to put your face in that scenario, not to mention the potential of splashback into your open mouth from that fresh flush that you believe will re-perfect the sitting environment (it won’t).

No, I prefer to remain seated and let the bowl do what the bowl does best, which is let my nether cheeks be the gasket between the swirlie zone and anything that ever comes out of that end, while my mouth searches for something within reach that doesn’t regularly host fecal parties. The trash can is the usual best choice, and I’m hoping I never find myself in the home of someone who thinks that one of those woven wire mesh baskets like you might find in an office in 1950 would be a good industrial look for bathroom furnishings. 🗑️

Doug's avatar

Kid, you make good points.. It's been a long while since I've had it coming out of both ends, let alone simultaneously.

Getting rid of that mesh basket right now... ; )

People are ignoring this and similar en masse. The only thing COVID did was wake a lot of people up to a lot of BS. Monkey Pox, Haunta, whatever... The harder they work at this, the more people (yawn) ignore them. Dave Barry came out of retirement and is now on SS. It reminds me of how he described Y2K the day after... "I think I heard that a cash register failed somewhere in Singapore".

1,000% agree here. Hanta was looking like it may be something big but turned out to be a dud opening the door for all kinds of crises to be examined: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/seven-reasons-hantavirus-is-a-hoax

Trust in public office is failing and ironically that’s a good thing. People are ignoring lies and living their lives

If you believe government "experts" you will get what you deserve.

David Nelson's avatar

Sir Tom, IF "experts" is a verb, I do believe, and STILL your sentence makes sense!

Skenny's avatar

... good and hard.

Janine Melnitz's avatar

Hopefully, the one good thing to come out of Covid is that people now just give the middle finger to all the panic porn produced by the media and their masters.

Who buys bagged lettuce in the summer when you can get fresh, unprocessed lettuce so readily? I'll stick with my farm-stand lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, etc. thank you very much.

May's avatar

Readily is a word used loosely.... I have to wait for Saturday market and go in hunt for a popup tent that I hope sells it... where as Publix is always carrying those insta-bags of salad conveniently. However, my attitude my change quickly if I succumb to the intestinal hiroshima bug... your advice might be an ironic forewarning, lol

kittynana's avatar

@Patti- liked the bagged stuff, it's only as clean as those who pick and wash it.

Pastor Mike's avatar

Oh I remember the Good Ol' Days of life as a missionary in Central America. There wasn't a scrap of produce that came through the door that didn't get a good washing followed by a chlorine soak. You could not drink the water - ever - without treatment, not even the water used to wash vegetables. It was crazy time consuming.

We got it so good here.

David Nelson's avatar

...and everybody said, "AMEN!"

Heather B's avatar

Same in the Philippines. And I once went to a party where the host didn't wash the lettuce in chlorox so everyone who ate the salad got dysentery. Thank goodness I was pregnant and had bad morning sickness (all day long) so I didn't eat it.

Same here! Spending 20 years in third world countries teaches you a hell of a lot about food safety protocols, that’s for sure! We also took hydroxychloroquine daily as well!

Maureen's avatar

I got dysentery in the Honduras on a youth mission team….good times…..

Whatever the "demon" is (I doubt it is a parasite) it does not make you ill. What makes you severely ill is that your body is trying desperately to rid itself of the demon. Any illness is your body's natural process to keep itself well. The "demon" might be some toxic chemical as all chemical poisons have the power to cause a severe backlash by the body...and sometimes even death.

This is what happens when you “Chicken Little” everything under the sun, including the sun. Anything the media can use to scare the public is amplified until normally rational people lose their minds. I try to abide by the sage words of Public Enemy, “don’t believe the hype.”

Possibility of rain in Texas always accompanied by severe weather flood watch and then we get another tenth of an inch

Doug's avatar

Oh, the weather people are the worst. Up here in northern Cali, I look at the weather in the morning to see if it's car weather or motorcycle weather. I often ride home from work sopping wet - luckily it's not too far.

TJ Goerlitz's avatar

Oh my God Jenna, how do you come up with lines like: ”the sanitation practices in some growing regions make a Coachella porta-potty look like the Mayo Clinic.“

Thanks a lot my coffee snorted right up my nostrils!!! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️😂

JudyC's avatar

Her post should come with a warning label! “CAUTION….”

Doug's avatar

Yes, I also found that flowery bit of prose quite evocative.

Connie Lemmincakes's avatar

First no meat. Now no vegetables. Sounds like they are really pushing frankenfood. It’s so safe and (not) delicious!!

It’s Chicken Little all over again. 🙄

Other - turn off the TV and read Jenna's substack lol.

Just like all the other "news" that is constantly trying to grab our attention, this latest one is a literal shit show. Stinks to high heaven and definitely not worth our time and attention.

Can you imagine if this much time and attention was spent reporting on the vaccine injured and killed? There would be a revolution in this country if people found out that the military industrial biopharmecutical complex is guilty of democide.

By the way, if you all haven't seen it yet, Doc Malik's latest interview with Debbie Lerman is a must watch! https://rumble.com/v7chzf2-free-episode-493-debbie-lerman-the-deep-state-pandemic-planning-and-the-cov.html

Someone, perhaps many someones, is trolling for taxpayer-funded ghost job opportunities.

Steve's avatar

lol raspberries and lettuce are public enema #1. With the context that Jenna has drawn, it reminds me of the context of COVID painted in the MSM in 2020. The reality was that no one was falling over dead in the streets right before your eyes. But thanks to MSM, many people's hair was on fire, and in this case the MSM is making everyone's butt be on fire!

My husband ALWAYS says that "plants are trying to kill us", lol.. coined after we interviewed carnivore MD Anthony Chaffee. My husband will never die from plant induced dehydration, lol
