Oh man today has been a hell of a day already... And also the reason most of you think. I have a feeling that within the next couple of days I will get a review pushed out for everybody. And because of who I am I'm going to compare a few things and put my final thoughts in on them.

At the end of that page - every other day is ok. It said at least every other day. That would be fine. However, nowhere in there did I read - "every other week / month / or year."

I can and do understand what they mean when they say "stripping oils off the skin" as where I work my hands are submerged almost all day during my cleaning processes. By the time I'm done, my hands contain no moisture. However, after I get off work, I still take a shower. EVEN though I have showered in the morning. I work around people. Nobody wants to smell last nights love making or if I've had gas, nobody wants to smell farts all day. I find it an absolute necessity to shower before and after work. To me, although people would say it's bad, I also have very sensitive skin. So stripping off oils is a good thing for me. If I don't, my skin pays for it. My pores clog faster than an 1/16" pipe having fresh grease dumped down it followed by ice cold water.

    This info should be forwarded to the US Navy. I remember being on water rations on one of my carriers in '76. Water ration showering was achieved by wet down, soap up, and rinse off. No more than a total of 3 minutes in the shower.
    Yeah, I remember in the USAF only being able to use the juccuzzi for one hour a day :).

    Well, it's hard sometimes because I felt (there for awhile) that I would have gotten side swiped by her. When she stood up and supported me, I was shocked and at the same time, glad. The fact that he was very disrespectful to her, is what shocks me and made me angry to begin with. It's also very easy to get things done. It really is. If you can remember to turn on your Playstation, turn on your iPad, or turn on your TV, then to me, there should be no reason why you can't remember to PROPERLY scoop the litter box, to take a peek into the garbage can and if it's full take it out, load the dishwasher, run it, and unload the clean dishes, and take a damn shower EVERY night. Like - what the hell is wrong with people? I know, I know - technically, I'm a Gen-Y myself. However... and yes there is a however... I was raised by traditionalists with traditional values. "Hard work pays off..." and "You won't get anywhere being lazy..." or the infamous "You kids don't know the value of..." so what did I do? I remembered those things. I remembered them at the best times and the worst times of my life. Had I NOT remembered them, I'd probably be homeless, on drugs, or dead. And God forbid I turn out like the rest of my generation. Do I feel entitled to anything? Sure. But what did I do to feel entitled to it? Well for starters, there was this one time... in the Marine Corps... and then this other time in the Army... and then these other times as a welder... But you see, for the things I feel I may be entitled to, do I press the envelope? No. I let things go, because why? Because I'm a self sufficient, autonomous, and efficient man that can handle his business and make things work. I don't ask for much - if anything - from anyone at any time. However, that comes at a price to those around me. If I get agitated by someone for slacking, you'll hear about it once... maybe even twice if I felt you weren't listening the first time - after that, I'm lighting a fire under someone's ... and it's best to stay out of my sight when it happens. I'll find the person slacking. And by the time I'm done with them, they'll wish they never existed. Thank you Marine Corps. You made an ... chewing man out of me!

    I recently started using this with excellent results. I have weird skin. Add soaps, even shampoo on my face were making my face peel. It was leaving a film on the rest of me that would smell by the end of the day. Bandaides & surgical tapes stick as if applied with super glue or don't stick at all. Some of that is RA related or med's related. I read an ad for a deodorant that had a lot of info about bacterias causing bo. Researched & got this stuff. Good for 3 days since I don't do anything. It's wonderful. There are several flavors but I got the one for sensitive skin because apparently I'm a little flower!

    I wish I could use something without a shower for a day. However... in my line of work, I hate coming home smelling like stainless steel and old fryer oil. I work maintenance at a local fast food joint, and every week I clean a fryer and the dairy machines. The dairy machines don't have much of a smell unless the mixes get behind the gaskets and seep into the gear boxes. Then they smell of spoiled milk, hot stainless, and other things which I won't say here. The fryers on the other hand. They always smell. And that smell doesn't wash out easily. Hence I take a shower... daily... twice a day. Not to mention, I also clean EVERYTHING ELSE - up to and including the bathrooms, the "sani-bins" (women's bathrooms only), and floor drains (catch-alls for food debris, grease, etc). So yeah. Because I get in depth with my cleaning stuff, I like to ensure my safety as well as others' safety. Not to mention, because folks are packed in there like sardines some days, people get sick, they bring their plagues from outside, and then voila, everyones sick. But not this guy. Wanna know why? Bleach, fire, and showers. In no particular order. I also shower 2x a day because I have a son. Even though he's vaccinated I don't trust ANYONE else with his safety except me. So if people sneeze or cough near me, my clothes go home, they get stripped off, and tossed in the washer... daily. I don't take chances.

    Well thought I would check in. Something is going on with me don't know what it is. I can't wake up for about 4 days now. All I do is sleep. Went to bed last night at 9 got up at 6 was back to sleep at 7 till 11 woke up long enough to eat some Cheerios went back to sleep till now. This has been going on for 4 days. I can't seem to stay awake. I wake up for maybe 1 hour and right back to sleep. It's not right. I have never felt like this. Nothing wakes me up. It's starting to scare me. I feel like I'm going to go to sleep and not wake up. I have slept the last 3 days away. I don't know if I am trying to die or what. Can't remember ever feeling like this. I don't feel bad just can't wake up. Don't know if it is from not eating or taking anything in my body to help. I just don't feel like it. So if you don't hear from me for a long while you'll know what happened.

    A shower twice a week suits me. Any more frequently leaves me feeling scaly and dry. At that I use only real, actual soap (most things sold as soap are actually detergents. (Kirk's Castile for me.)

    But I can't help feeling some sympathy for the Pogo character (from a long gone comic strip) who ran from an impending deluge with the cry, "My Saturday night bath ain't due 'til April!"

    Or the logger who sewed himself into three pairs of long-johns at the beginning of winter. He swore that someone had stolen two of his Union Suits during the winter, until he found the cuffs still around his wrists and ankles when he disrobed the next spring.
