I am serious. I am so tired of having to go out of my way and spend so much time cleaning the inside shower walls and doors every two weeks or a month. And if I wait one month before I decide to clean the shower walls it takes much longer and more physical effort to clean them. And then, when I decide to clean them, I have to get a mild brush, then presoak the shower walls and the inside surface of the glass doors by spraying water on them. Then, I throw the powder cleaner on the walls or spray the shower surface cleaner on the walls and then lightly scrub all the services which includes the three walls, both inside surfaces of the glass sliding doors and the chrome and aluminum frame surfaces. Then, I have to step out side onto the carpet with soap on my feet or shoes. But, I'll have to lay out a towel so that I can wipe my feet or shoes on. Then, I fumble around with the shower head trying to make it rinse all the soap off all the walls, which it won't. So, I have to take a cup or a bucket and splash water up on the walls and the inside surfaces of the two shower glass doors. Then, I play water hockey on the shower floor trying to spray or shoot all the soap residue down the drain. And of course, I as well as most everyone else, realize all the effort being put into having to properly clean the inside of the shower. But, wait! The shower cleaning job is not finished because I have to get in there with a clean dry towel and wipe down the walls, glass doors and all the chrome faucets and aluminum frame around the doors. Okay, the 30 minute shower cleaning with all of the physical effort and a some aggravation is over. And then before you know it two or three weeks have passed and it's time again for that 30 minute monotonous, ridiculous cleaning routine AGAIN! Please tell me what I can do so I never have to do that again yet, still be able to take a shower every day in the same shower! (link)
/////// Okay, I have finally figured it out, on my own, how to make it so that I will never have to pull out cleanser, brushes, mildew killer etc. to clean the shower walls, fossett handles, glass sliding doors and the aluminum molding on framework around it! And the only effort I have to make is about one or two minutes after each shower. And that is to have a medium-size cotton towel next to your shower. And when you're finished taking a shower take the clean dry cotton towel and wipe off all the water on the walls, glass doors, frame and chrome fossett handles! That's it? It's as simple as that! Just wipe off the water and residue before it dries and there will be no hard water stains nor soap scum to build up. Why are some of the most simplest things so hard to figure out by most people? I just don't get it. Why don't people really try more often to just think about the problem, what's causing it, and what to do to keep it from happening? Yes, it's that simple. Just think about it yourself before walking away from the problem and let it remain a problem.
/////// Then, the only cleaning that will ever be needed is the shower floor. And that is extremely simple and easy to clean. And you get the play some water Hockey trying to get the soap suds down the drain!
/////// Your shower walls and metal services will stay clean and shiny and polished as long as you wipe it down every time you finish taking a shower.
/////// PROBLEM SOLVED, Have a nice day!























Is there a way to easily, less painfully remove a Plantar wart from my skin and not have to pay a small fortune to accomplish that?
Please help me if you can or if you know somebody who could help me fix this problem I have asked them to advise me.
Thank you! (link)
......Here is a clever, inexpensive, far less painful way to remove Plantar Warts from the palm of your hand or the sole of your foot. This is something that I learned to do on my own and have successfully removed 2 warts, the only warts I ever had in my life. I got them by walking barefoot in a health club shower floor. Whoops, I should've known better.
...... Normally, Plantar Warts are only able to be removed by either freezing them off which cost about $100 per visit to the doctor's office, and usually it takes about 3 to 5 visits and each time the doctor freezes the surface of your skin it burns and is extremely painful each time! Or, you could have it surgically cut or carved out of your skin. But, first you have to let the doctor inject the sensitive sole of your foot with a nerve numbing injection. But, the nerve numbing agent only makes your nerve sensors numb AFTER it's injected into your foot. In other words you feel the needle being pushed into your skin before the nerve numbing agent takes effect. And that alone is one of the most severe torture-like pains you'll ever feel probably in your entire life! A friend of mine had this procedure done to the one Wart he had about five years ago. All doctors who perform this procedure will schedule the appointment with the patient at the very end of the day when there are no other patients in his office. Why? I found out why while waiting for my friend in the waiting room during the procedure. When the doctor gave my friend three injections into the sole of his foot to deaden the pain of the Wart to be carved out of his skin, I heard my friend's reaction to apparently what was the worst pain ever felt in his life. I heard my friend screamed as loud as he could and used every nasty curse word, that's even too nasty to be put in the dictionaries. He screamed and cursed like this during each injection of the needle used to numb the pain of surgery to come. Apparently that's why the doctors perform this procedure at the end of the day when there are no other patients to hear a patient going through that torturous agony! my friend said that was the most pain he'd ever heard in his life, it was absolutely unbearable! But, he had to do it because no other procedure worked to remove that one Plantar Wart from his foot. That operation cost him $500. He said when he tried to have the same wart removed by freezing it off it cost $100 per visit and three painful freezing attempts were made but, it did not remove the wart completely and it returned one or two months later. He said he also tried letting a doctor put a small blue square acid tab on that wart which would slowly eat the skin surface away and eventually eat or burn into the wart that is under several layers of skin. He said that procedure and the follow-ups cost a total of $500 and guess what? Yes, the wart returned. So, after spending over $1000 and all the pain he felt trying to do this was ridiculous and a complete waste of time and money just to remove a nasty wart.
...... About a year later, it was my turn to be challenged with removing the two warts on my foot! But, there was no way that I was going to spend about $1000 and experience the worst pain that I could imagine! I was just going to leave the wart there. But, you cannot do that because it'll keep spreading through your body and pop up again on your feet or hands.
...... So, skipping all the details of how I figure this out, I'll just tell you how I was able to remove both of my Plantar Warts from the sole of my foot for about $10, two weeks time and far, far less pain than the other well known three procedures.
...... And here's how you do it. Buy one or two tubes of Compound W wart remover gel, not liquid. Also, buy a roll of 3M Transpore tape found in most drugstores. It's porous and made for placing on your skin for long periods of time and allows skin to breathe under it. It works great. Anything made by 3M is most definitely the best quality product in the world! No, I have no relationship with 3M other than experiencing their great products. Apply Compound W to a small piece of wadded up toilet paper or paper towel. The size of the wadded up paper should be about the size of an eraser head of a pencil. Once it is very moist with Compound W, flattened it out a little bit so that it fits over the Plantar Wart calloused skin bump where wart is under. Then, take pieces of that 3M tape and place it over the moistened wad of paper, over the wart. But, cleaned the surface of the skin around the war with alcohol to remove any oils from your skin so that the tape he can stick better. Make sure that there is about one inch of tape protruding the edges of the wart so that the tape holds well. Put your shoes and socks back on and let it stay that way for two days, yes two days. But, make sure you DO NOT walk on it or apply any pressure against the ground with that part of your foot. Because if you apply pressure to it you will spread the Compound W Gel outwards from the wart and start affecting the skin around it. You want Compounds W to work on that spot and just a little bit more around it ONLY. All doctors and nurses cannot tell you to throw away the instructions and ignore them. But, I can and no I am not a nurse or a doctor but, I know this procedure works incredibly well for me and I don't see why it won't work for you, also. After two days remove the tape and paper wad. By now you should have the top layer of skin over the wart white in color and tender. Try to remove the loose skin on the surface by using a very small and pointed pair of surgical scissors or just carefully pull it off. And don't worry about any pain yet because you are doing the work on your skin and you know how to regulate the aggression on removing the skin without it hurting too much. Take your time and remove as much dead skin on the surface as you can. Once you have opened up the surface above the wart apply another wad of paper with Compound W on it and place the 3M tape over it again. You must let it stay there for two or three days each time you do this. After about the second or third time you do this it will begin to burn a little bit. This is good because it's evidence that the Compound W is working its way towards removing the last bit of wart which is at your nerve endings under your three layers of skin. This is the most important part of removing all of the wart!!!! After it hurts or stings for a day you know you've pretty much removed all of the wart! Then, wash the area with soap and water and apply only a piece of 3M tape over it to keep dirt out while it is healing. And it will heal very quickly.
...... Removing the wart this way will leave no scars. Most other procedures for removing Plantar Warts leaves scars.
...... Here is how you can tell if you have completely removed the wart. Wait one, two or three weeks. During that time run your fingertips across the surface were the wart was and try to feel for any new bumps rising there. If after four weeks and the skin surface is smooth and normal then that means the wart was 100% removed!
......I don't have to tell you to get advice from your doctor. But, remember no doctor or nurse will tell you how to fix something on your body that they have not been trained for. And of course that does not mean there isn't a better way to fix the problem as I've shown you how to do here.


My bf is really controlling. He always has to know where I am, what I'm doing, who I'm with, and everything. He controls like everything. If I end up being like 10 minutes late from when he told me to call him (like if I go out shopping and was suppose to call him at noon, but I call him at like 12:10) then he gets all angry and yells and screams and tells me I'm a really, really bad gf. I know this isn't healthy but I LOVE HIM. When he isn't mad at me then we have a really good time together. Is there something I can do to make him not controling and better understanding? Do I HAVE to dump him, because all my friends say he's just abusive and it'll get worse but he's everything to me. Help, please! What do I do? (link)
Try to understand the young mind of the Human male. They love adventure, don't like to be told what to do, and they want the freedom to do what they want when they want to do it. And no matter what you say it will not change his mind on what he really wants to do.


What does wake and bake mean?? This guy allways says it( not to me) but just aloud it's really annoying whatever itmeans please tell me (link)
I think he is saying, in short, "Wake up and Rise to the Occasion!" Because Wake may mean wake up and Bake may mean rise as dough does in an oven. Maybe it's something that was said to him a long time ago that he liked to hear and now is repeating it. A way to find out if this, in short, is what he's saying try this. After he says it say to him with an agreeing attitude, "That's right, Wake up and Rise to the Occasion!" And then turn to him with a pleasant attitude or expression on your face and say to him "Right?" And see how much he agrees with what you just said! If he agrees with you and gives you a pleasant attitude or expression, then that means he likes what you said and respects you for it which may help you later if you have to deal with him regarding whatever. Thanks for the challenge of helping you figure this out. I am very curious if I'm correct in my assumption. Good luck and stay inquisitive! It's fun and adventurous and rewarding! And if he keeps saying it too much and it's starting to really aggravate you even further, if that's possible, I know how to get him to stop saying that around you. Just make up a cute and silly saying that rhymes with or sounds funny after he says what he says. Then, eventually, before he says it he will make sure that you can't hear him say it so that he doesn't have to hear your silly phrase after his!


Hi everyone, I am a college freshman and i think i see a problem starting to form in my life.

I have recently started drinking a lot while in college, often blacking out and not remembering the night i had. I sometimes drink just to feel drunk and carefree. I spend most of my money on alcohol and I usually go through about a fifth of alcohol on any givin night. My friends are starting to become concerned and they tell me that i am not the same person drunk as i am sober. They also tell me that when i start drinking i will not stop until someone physically takes the alcohol away from me. I don't know what to do and i'm afraid that I might have a problem.

How do i get help with letting anyone (including my friends and parents) know about the situation.

Thank you all. (link)
Well, from what I've heard you say and from what I've experienced regarding somebody getting hooked on alcohol, quite frankly you're are on the road to inevitable destruction! You need to make some major changes in your life, and I mean now! Because if you don't, and you keep drinking alcohol your life will become a miserable hell! Next to Coke, Crack and Speed, Alcohol is one of the most addictive and physically and mentally destructive drugs on the legal free-market. It also has destroyed many families and still is only because it's legal and socially accepted to begin drinking at a young age as you yourself have begun to do. But, Alcohol is an extremely,slowly but surely, extremely addictive drug that will always make you feel like drinking just a little bit more each time you decide to drink. Which in turn makes you become more addicted to it and wanting to drink more each time you drink. Then, eventually you will go from drinking a 12 pack of Beer on a Friday night to three or four shots of hard alcohol instead. Because it's much easier to satisfy your uncontrollable thirst for alcohol by just taking three, four, five, or even six shots of hard alcohol like Vodka, Scotch or Rum, etc..
And,by then it's much too to easily get you to stop drinking alcohol!
So, in short fix your problem now before it's too late! And I don't want any weak minded friends like you who cannot control your serious bad habits!
You are facing inevitable destruction of your personal life! Fix it!
Why do the alcohol industries spend millions of dollars every year trying to keep Pot from being legalized? The only reason they do this is to keep a safe and controllable party favorite from being legalized. Because they know if the US Federal Government approves Pot for being safe enough for the public's use, and if Pot becomes legal to be purchased by US citizens then it sets in motion for the inevitable near demise of your largest alcohol manufacturing companies. The people who own and control the alcohol companies don't care about its negative effects in society and most importantly our families at home. Alcoholism kills more people on the freeways and roads in communities than anything else.
The reason I mentioned this about the nature of the persons who run the major alcohol industries is to remind you about the fact how those people don't give a damn about you personally! They don't give a damn about you becoming so addicted and hooked on alcohol that it will eventually ruin your family, your personal relationships, your friendships, and your ability to learn and train your brain while in the college that you or your family has spent fortunes on giving to you so that it improves the quality of your life and future. So, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW THEY WANT YOU TO BECOME HOOKED ON THEIR ADDICTIVE DRUG CALLED ALCOHOL ?!! And you are seriously addicted to alcohol and probably not quite aware of it,yet.



I am caucasian/white and I really don't want to be any more. White is the worst "color" skin to be, in my opinion. Everybody thinks I'm racist because of MY skin color! It's annoying and I feel like I owe people of different races something simply because I'm not of their race! I know that sounds so messed up but it's so true.

I see it on TV a lot so I know I'm not the only white person like this either. I see all the time people saying, "If I was white you wouldn't be..." in situations that don't even make sense even. I never try to make somebody feel bad because of their race but I've been accused of it before at school.

I'm tired of my race. I want to be something different. I know Michael Jackson changed his racial skin color. Is it possible for a white person to become black, asian, or hispanic colored? Can I change my race or my skin color? What about other physical features like nose and eyes? Can a person get those facial features changed without surgery? (link)
The above statement and question is B.S.! I really don't believe it was written by any White person. Someone from a different race, other than White, got jealous, envious and upset that there is a different group of people who are better than him or herself, so he or she FEELS. So, this hateful nonwhite person decided to make it look like there are white people who don't want to be white anymore. What a bunch up Gobbledygook B.S.! What is Gobbledygook? It's an adult's polite way of saying B.S.!
Okay, if you are white, you are asking the most hideous sounding question most people have ever heard before. If what's making you feel this way is being in a school or community of mostly nonwhites and most of those nonwhites are hateful toward whites for whatever unreasonable excuse , then I think it's time for you and/or your family to move out! Either that or stay there and continue to be psychologically torn apart and destroyed to the point where you can't take it anymore and then you either become an extremely addictive drug addict or you will commit suicide. Apparently you are young and extremely emotional as everyone is at that age. But, you are at one of the most important turning points in your life and I do mean YOUR LIFE ! So, get Smart, don't be stupid and do something you're going to regret. Get away from those screwed up people with screwed up mines! You cannot change them so move out! How my times have you said "I hate it here, I can't stand those people, they don't like me, I don't like them and I got to get out of here!" ? That is your mind going into defensive and self-preservation mode which is trying to correct the problem. But, as you know, the problem cannot be corrected. And if you cannot fix the problem then you either destroy yourself or move to a better environment with better people. Yes, it's as simple as that. But, how and where do you move to? And as a temporary fix or pacifier until you're able to actually move out of that crappy community this is what I suggest you do. Go way out of your way to meet other people like yourself and hang around with them. Make close friends with people like yourself. It is quite normal and natural for different races of people to want to hang with their own race of people. Don't let anyone try to make you think it's wrong. After all look at all the all-black associations and programs where only black people can be members or part of the so-called cultural support programs. Look at all the Hispanic associations and programs where only Hispanic people can be members or part of the so-called cultural support programs. But, there are no cultural support programs for white people or white communities. When you create organizations, social programs, community culture centers that only cater to one race of people that is racist. And that does inspire more racist attitudes amongst those groups of people who hang around with their own groups of people in those associations and community programs. And then, when those Hispanics and Blacks who have been catered to and treated special by telling them how special and unique their race of people are, those same Hispanics and Blacks return the multiracial communities and bring with him that extreme us and them racist mentality. And now, so it seems, you are getting spit in the face by the nonwhites who were told the B.S. of how special and beautiful they,the Hispanic and black races are! When blacks and Hispanics are allowed to have their own tax funded associations, get-togethers and community centers which allow them to pat each other's backs and tell them how great and special their race of people are it's approved by state and local governments and the minds of the community leaders of black and Hispanic groups. But, whenever and wherever a White race of people want to establish the same back-patting, boasting of the unique quality of their bloodline or just being allowed to hang around with their own race of people it's considered to be bad, shameful, racist, by state and local governments and also by the Black and Hispanic community leaders. Which all of these parties have contributed in making sure that White people are never given the same opportunity of having a tax sponsored, socially accepted right to get together to boast how great they are, which Whites don't really need to do. Why? Because whites are content and happy as they are! This is why it's so hard for so many people who are reading your cries of stress to understand what the hell you're talking about.
As I was typing this on my computer my friend came over and told me to suggest this to you. He said do not start drinking alcohol. He said if you begin drinking alcohol to relieve or escape from the stress you're going through regarding this multicultural crap, your life will get worse! Much worse! Don't drink alcohol to escape! Because alcohol is an extremely addictive drug. My friend said you may want to smoke a little HERB instead. It's only 1/20 of the addiction affect of alcohol, Coke, speed, etc.. In other words you can quit anytime you want. It works well on relieving physical and mental stress in all ages of people. HERB works as a great pacifier while you're going through hard times. And most all Police Officers agree that it is the most safe and sane stimulant to use with no side effects when compared to everything else that's going around the schools and college campuses. And, that's why HERB will someday be legal to possess and smoke. And now as I thank my friend for that final bit of advice to you, I leave you with this final statement. Do what you have to do to get through this and survive! There's a better world out there for you and the crappy one you are in right now is only temporary. One of the greatest human feelings of adventure happens when you are looking forward and actually making plans to get out of the crappy situation you are in now! Good things happen ONLY when YOU make them happen!
