Does it get below freezing at those places? I have lived in very nice and very poor places in the south, but I have never seen dual faucets anywhere except for a maintenance closet with a sink or something like that. Definitely not in anything residential though. Makes me wonder if it has to do with pipes freezing or something.

Took me too long to realize your eczema was not caused by a BITE. I was looking everywhere for the bite on your chin lol

Hope it goes away soon, I get it on my fingers mostly, and some on my knees and elbows, but it only started happening a year ago. Do you have any tips? I have noticed that if I put bandaids on my fingers with the ointments, then my fingers get all soggy/wrinkly (like bandaids normally do) and that soggy wrinkly state is almost immune to any further eczema development.

I had a boss who would stand out near the entrance of the restaurant, right next to the host stand, and lather him self up with a bottle of rubbing alcohol to help him cool down. It was the strangest thing I have ever seen, and the guest tables and the bar were within reaching distance of him. The host table was outside on a deck, in the south, so it got really hot. Everyone would watch, not knowing if they should be confused, disgusted, or just ignore it because he did it almost every day. His arms and legs looked like he was moisturizing with rubbing alcohol too.

But I can't argue that it doesn't work to cool down.

Also, would love to hear the opinion of someone with some medical knowledge on this. This can't be good for him lol

It might just be because that's where that company decided to set up shop. Maybe taxes/operating costs are cheaper there, maybe the founder/CEO lives close by, maybe they just liked the building, or maybe they know people there are willing to do a lot more for money compared to other places.

Also if there's a school nearby, it could be that. When I lived near a university known for nursing and psychology, there were lots of studies I saw advertised.

That picture isn't BS though, and no one said anything about a leg. You are right in that we shouldn't lie or exaggerate these things because then it just makes people not trust, but that mouth cancer is a real thing. And it is a real slow and real painful way to die.

People talking like you, saying something isn't real and then using your own speculation as evidence (when tobaco does in fact cause mouth cancer, and can get worse than that photo). That's how people become misinformed. No one ever said tobacco makes your legs fall off, you just made that up. That's how people become misinformed, by doing exactly what you are doing. Don't just speculate and then use your own speculation as a fact. No one said anything about a leg, you just made that up, and now you're saying that it's wrong to lie about people losing their legs. You are causing misinformation, you are not preventing it.

I hope you never have the proof that I have experienced. I don't want anyone to watch the horrors of mouth/lung cancer take over the life of someone they love. Especially when they are the ones who caused it on themselves. I tried to make them stop smoking for years, if only they had a little more convincing..... But luckily they did not lose their legs, that would be horrible!

So in your opinion, how much pain do you think dick was in? Sounds like it hurt but it wasn't full blown appendicitis hurt. I have never experienced it, but I have had people describe it to me so I can't imagine anyone would be able to move much. My friend told me he collapsed while trying to get out of a car when it happened, and he couldn't move and an ambulance was required.

Then again, some people are crazy and can just ignore pain like that when their goal is on the line, especially anyone who aspires to be an Olympian or professional athlete.
