Borax baths as a Covid-19 vaccine detox are a dangerous side effect of misinformation

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 20, 2021:

What the article doesn't tell us is what borax does to your skin... I have used borax as a laundry detergent additive, I might even have some under my sink, I really don't want to look. I would never consider soaking in that, that's just crazy. Obviously no one google it. From WebMD: Borax health risks: *Borax can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea if you ingest it by itself, and large amounts can lead to shock and kidney failure. It's banned in U.S. food products. It also can irritate your skin and eyes, and it can hurt your nose, throat, and lungs if you breathe it in. If you're around it often, it can cause rashes and might affect male reproductive organs.* https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/borax-sodium-tetraborate

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 18, 2021:

My son in law gifted me with his used and too small snow blower. It is perfect for my driveway and sidewalk. My house faces south, if I wait a few days I usually don't even have to worry about snowblowing or shoveling. Those times that I do have to do it, I have about 6 feet of sidewalk, 6 steps, and a 5X3 porch to shovel. It is satifying to get it done, it is even more so for mother nature to do it for me.

Drinking your own urine is just gross. https://www.healthline.com/health/drinking-urine The bottom line: Drinking your own urine isn’t advisable. It can introduce bacteria, toxins, and medications into your system. There’s no reason to think that drinking urine would benefit your health in any way. There are much more effective routes for getting a high dose of vitamins and minerals. Pop a few gummy vitamins — you’ll probably prefer the taste!

I pluck a few hard hairs from my chin from time to time, but only because they annoy me. I am not going to shave ever again. If a future partner wants shaved... only if he agrees to be shaved as well.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 14, 2021:

My experience with people in law enforcement is that they have more issues than The Spectator. I have issues with people who don't attempt to overcome or neutralize their issues. I don't need a person in my life with control or anger management issues. I may be over generalizing, but if I met someone in law enforcement through my social activities I'd at least be open to a few dates. And if you're wondering abut The Spectator: Founded in 1828, The Spectator has been proud to describe itself as 'the oldest continuously-published weekly in the English language. That's a lotta issues.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 12, 2021:

Loss of a parent is always hard, and when it is around the holidays it is so much harder. It's even harder when the parent dies before "their time." When the parent is aged, it is easier to accept. When they die young and we're still young it is so much harder. My mom died at age 45, I was 14. Time does not heal all wounds, time just works to lessen the pain.

His weapons NEVER came home. That would have been against Army policy. I feel like if you want to play with guns, ENLIST! They will teach you the safe way to play with guns and given the job needs may allow you to fire often. Sillivilians DO NOT NEED high powered weapons. The police really don't either.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 5, 2021:

Yeah, I have never trusted anyone who told me how smart they were, they tended to possibly know a great deal about one subject and absolutely nothing about the things that mattered. I always believed they were hiding their insecurities. Some things I know a great deal about, and I'm a great trivia player on some subjects. I have a memory like a trash can, weird stuff ends up in there and comes out at such odd times. Triggers are funny. However, I am fully aware there are lots of things I don't know much about. I love learning... some stuff. Learning my job has been tough because banking/finance was not something that interested me a great deal because it is so f--king complicated - to me. Now I've had it broken down a great deal and I'm finding I knew more than I thought I did. And I can explain it well to others, which is a great deal of my job.
