I’ll put in a quick plug for shampoo bars and cal ben soap. Many people with eczema will find all surfactants/detergents irritating when they are flaring so traditional saponification created soaps are a better choice. There is a website (www.solveeczema.org) that discusses removing these from your daily use (at least…

For night-time itching, atarax has helped me immensely. It worked much better for me than zyrtec. It induces drowsiness, so I only use it in the evening, but I would recommend he discuss it with his doctor if he is still waking up and scratching on zyrtec. It is pretty common to have to go on an antibiotic when…

After lifelong use of the topicals and two injections(kenalog) of steroids, I called it quits with the steroids and accepted that they were unable to work for my skin. I went up to the most potent TS(Vanos) and I used it for one year, it worked for about 6 months, never clearing, but offering improvement. I would…

Hi there! I am a lifelong DE sufferer - (in childhood my feet were mostly affected, when it returned in adulthood - it is all hands). Feel free to message me and I am happy to share coping tips (best advice is cold water plus some apple cider vinegar to soak hands in for itch relief adn to ditch the topical steroids…

I, for one, plan to sell him to my conservative parents who dislike Trump, but can’t bring themselves to support Clinton.

HOW will you stop ISIS? No troops on the ground, but we are going to declare war (on who?) and we are going to make NATO fight? and we are going to get more intelligence(how?)? Aggressive pro-American foreign policy is supposed to be a Republican “thing” and he had not one coherent thought on it. He states Iraq was a…

Wish I could star this more than once. If you want a diverse workforce, recruit at engineering schools with diverse graduates. Don’t place arbitrary GPA requirements on candidates. Promote internships at state-satellite campuses that cater to non-traditional students and at HBCUs. I also think many tech companies…

I noted this in my answer above, but one thing that can really help (this will be harder at a smaller startup) is to recruit outside of the “big name” engineering schools. If you are on the east coast, look at HBCU engineering programs, if you are out west, look at smaller/satellite state colleges. Look at the…

Yeah, I am on the hardware side (but chip design so I write HDL). I have worked at large companies that truly focus on diversity (mostly defense contractor places which have an incentive to prove to that they are a diverse workplace) and they all have required an undergrad degree in some branch of engineering or…

I would love if they sent Clover to a random wedding and took photos and did a write up on each of the guests. “Aunt Jane has once again not realized this is a wedding and wore her favorite khakis with a blouse and birkenstocks”, “Aunt Kelly is dressed to compete with her teenage daughter”, “Cousin Jim thought shorts…

In case you are not trolling, please note all the replies correcting your misunderstanding also applies to black bears and other animals capable of attacking humans once they associate humans with food.

She’s also a Scientologist which means she is great at ignoring things she doesn’t want to see.

We learned this with our kids too! My older one had strep throat and then my younger guy ended up with an unusual rash on his butt. I tried diaper cream, but it made it worse (for future reference, use a pure zinc cream like Boudreaux). Luckily the pediatrician immediately figured it out and the antibiotics worked.…

And yet somehow the Simpsons managed to predict this. If someone told me back when that aired 16 years ago that this is where we would be today, I would have called them the lyingist liar of all time.

When I was looking, I was going for “fewest ingredients” as I had an eczema patch on my neck that was getting irritated by everything. So I have been using the “J R Liggett” brand on amazon and have tried 2 different ones and both worked equally well for me. The Liggett’s ones have no sulfates and no detergents, which…

Oh no! As an eczema sufferer, I am surprised that shampoo helps you. If you want to go partway hippy, I recommend a shampoo bar which I swtiched to (along with Cal ben pure soap) to help my eczema settle down. Shampoo bars are cheap to try out so see what you think!

Hello there fellow 41-yr old who doesn’t use facial cleansers regularly! Do you mind sharing what zinc-based sunblock you use on your face? I am looking for a new one to use this summer and to stop using my kids stuff.

This is a laser that works on contrast, so if you have dark’ish hair on fair skin, it can properly target the hair to remove it. I have sensitive skin and have been warned away from laser removal as it is burning the hair (and if you don’t have that contrast of dark on light, can also burn your skin). I waxed for…

These are exactly the types of crimes that deserve a light jail sentence. Someone stole from us collectively by destroying things that may not be able to be restored to their pristine condition. I find these type of crimes highly offensive and I am sure many other nature lovers do as well. the repercussions of these…

My MIL’s neighbor’s husband died when their daughter was 1-2 years old. She told my MIL she wouldn’t date until her daughter was an adult. I thought that was so sad, but geez, with a statistic like that, I get where she was coming from.
