-Don't use cough syrup, they have been proven useless by at least three high quality studies. I know a lot of doctors still prescribe them out of habit and to reassure patients but they actually do more wrong than good. Just drink a lot of water (no hot soup!!) and take painkillers. -If you have a nosebleed, keep your head straight, and pinch your nose just under the nasal bone for a minute. If the bleeding doesn't stop, put ice on your nose. Don't swallow blood! -If you get drunk, drink at least three glasses of water before going to sleep, a lot of the hangover symptoms (such as headache, dry skin, constipation) are at least partially caused by dehydration. -a lot of teenagers and young adults have folliculitis, which are those ugly acne-like spot on the legs. You can actually get rid of those by washing your skin with antiseptic soap found in drugstores. If it's not enough, go to a dermatologist. -If you think you need glasses, go to an ophthalmologist,if just go to an oculist, he will most likely make you glasses correcting every defect,even unimportant ones (like small astigmatism) which won't help you more, be more expensive and won't take into account natural degradation of eyesight. Plus a visit to the ophthalmologist will get you to know if your eyes are too dry and if your intra-ocular tension is normal. -if you cut yourself, put the wound under running water for 5 minutes before doing anything else. -stretch in your shower in the morning, it reduces risks of back pain. | ||

People with sore gums tend to wash with warm water and I'm pretty sure your tooth paste tube even says to wash with warm water. A quick google search will back up what I just said :p | ||

I started exercising regularly now, and while I am exhausted at the end of the day, stress and anxiety still keep me up at night. Sad part, the need to sleep (and wake up by a certain time) is the cause of some of the anxiety and stress. Anyways, a helpful tip: -When microwaving water, put a wooden chopstick in it to keep it from "exploding" when you go to take it out. | ||

You obviously don't do it with a cop right there.... If there isin't any traffic (usually late at night) and it's safe to do so, ill just go through the red (barring if there is an intersection camera) I don't need a set of lights to tell me when its safe to cross the road, I have eyes. Good way to tell if someone is a good obiedient sheep is if they sit at a red light for minutes when not a single car goes by. | ||

Good way to tell if someone is a good obiedient sheep is if they sit at a red light for minutes when not a single car goes by. 1. Pretty sure you haven't spotted every single cop car you've ever passed, especially "late at night". People wouldn't ever get pulled over if they knew there was a cop right around the corner. I'm really hoping you grow up before you cause an accident. 2. As you've pointed out, some streetlights have cameras in them that take pictures if you go through a red light, so calling people "sheep" for braking at a red light and not wanting to get a ticket or risk an accident is an incredibly immature thing to say. Do you feel like you've actually accomplished something smart when you drive through a red light a full ten seconds before it turns green anyway? | ||

THIS THIS THIS THIS. i always run red lights if there aint a person in sight. its pretty easy to spot cops too if youre anything more than a half-retard. and to whomever brought up intersection cameras, LOL. at least in myy city (cleveland) they dont enforce you to pay. they just keep sending you bills every other month with threat of penalty. i have one from 7 years ago now that i never plan on paying. doesnt affect my drivers license or registration either since cameras only see my license plate and not who the registered driver in the car is. | ||

There's a reason why SOME traffic lights switch to blinking yellows at night, and there is a reason why some other do NOT. Risking killing yourself and possibly other people to save what will be 15-20 seconds at the absolute most is a pretty terrible lottery to play. | ||

You realize that your license is attached to the registration, meaning they actually can see the person who is registered to the car. That's the whole point of the license plate.. | ||
