Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.
That usually is eczema. Still good to check it out. Treatment for that is emolient cream right after shower or washing hands- not after you dry off. Best emilioent around- vegetable shortening. Messy tho. People bathe too much and in the winter dryness it strips the oils off the skin.
Good Morning Lodge!
Yeah, on my off days I try to avoid a shower because I usually end up taking 2 showers, especially if I've done a lot of messing around out in the barn or something just to get any potential allergens off of me.
That's my weakness. A good hot shower with enough water pressure to beat the crap out of you is wonderful. Water pressure was actually in my top 5 needs when I was looking at apts.
****!! that was one thing I forgot to look at today.
did some apartment hunting today with the girlfriend. First place we looked at today, Pheasant Brook, as soon as we stepped into the hallway you could smell smoke in there. that smoke smell was in the apartment they showed us. It's been sitting a while and they've not even bothered to give it a decent cleaning. Dust all over the place, cobwebs, and probably the kicker, an old cigarette butt on a shelf in the master bedroom there. a few other things wrong with the place like a closet door that needs a new slider put on it, and a few minor dings and holes left in the walls. Fixable, but eh, shouldn't they be fixing that up first? Only things it really had going for it was that it was in Clinton and that it had vinly flooring right at the doorway.
Looked at another one over on the north side of Tecumseh, Homestead, it was under renovation and the guy preparing the unit to paint it showed it to us. Overall, about the same square footage as what the pheasant brook place was, and it looked like they were putting a little effort into it. Didn't smell of smoke, and it looked like they planned on getting it fixed up before renting it out. And to top it all off, a hundred bucks less a month than what pheasant brook was asking. Pretty sure we'll be putting in an application in to live there.
