Tips on taking a shower.....

[foraloysius]

By coincidence I came across this video. I was wondering why this guy put his videos on youtube, does he want to educate the public? He seems very serious about it but in some way I found it rather hilarious.

 

[foraloysius]

Here's his other video. He shows us how to clean a kitchen floor. I'd prefer a different method, especially using a bucket instead of the kitchen sink...

 

[foraloysius]

Here's the link to his website. He even has instructions for how to use the toilet. I'm speechless.

Thank you

And now I know how to take a shower.

It will feel good not to stink anymore LOL.

 

[brettsomers]

Oh Lawd

poignant.

 

[mixedup]

Oh boy

I don't know what to say. I couldn't get through the whole videos, just couldn't take it. I'm not interested in watching him demonstrate using the bathroom! My Mommy taught me a long time ago, and I haven't needed help since.... but THANKS(?) This guy used to be a SCHOOL TEACHER???????

 

[Maytagmom]

Ok, I'm sorry, but this guy is an...

IDIOT!!!

Yeah, let's put Spic N Span in a regular hand soap pump bottle, and see what happens when "his guests" think it's regular soap and wash their face with it...

If I watch anymore I am going to hurl. (OK, so it's like a bad train wreck, I will go back and watch some more, lol)

I know when you get older, you start loosing your marbles a little bit, one by one, but this guy has gone a little too far.

Is this what us baby-boomers have to look forward to?

Personally, I can't wait to get the 10% discount at the IHOP.

Daddy make him stop!!!

Many toilets are too shallow, especially for men. The toilet seat needs to be raised. Add two or three inches to the height of the toilet seat with a riser, such as a hinged, elevated toilet seat

I guess when you're 180 yrs old, they have a tendancy to hit the water...

Next get a hammer and touch the cold metal to your bones: cheek bones in turn, forehead, nose, shoulders, hip bones, elbows, knees, ankle bones, and soles of the feet.

"Many toilets are too shallow, especially for men."

That's right, dammit! John Holmes was SMALL compared to most of us out here! We are darned sick and tired of dangling in the water! Either give us a deeper toilet or warm water in the bowl!

This guys is so wrong in the head.

 

[jasonl]

Yeah, that water's cold on that first flush in the morning.. BRRRR..

 

[peterh770]

"It rubs the lotion on, or it gets the hose. Yes, it does, Precious!"

 

[gansky1]

What the hell??

This guy is a Harvard educated former teacher and has written several articles that look fairly interesting but I really don't understand all this cleaning and home care stuff - perhaps he's done this for some special education purposes?

 

[eluxomarty]

and to think...

after all these years, i've been showering the wrong way!

 

[MrX]

I really didn't like those US toilets that fill up deep with water. European versions are generally only have water at the bottom i.e. a couple of inches deep. (At least the European toilets that I'm familiar with)

What is the point of the really deep filling bowls? The first time I saw it I assumed the toilet was blocked...

I saw both types in Boston/New England though. Which is normal? The deep or the shallow?

 

[Maytagmom]

I'm must be a glutton for punishment

I had to go back and take a looksie this morning while waiting for IT to get their act together here at work...

If this guy is a Harvard grad...shouldn't he have an IQ of over 70 or something? I mean, he really doesn't have alot of plain old common sense. He mopped himself into a corner. He put his cutting board down on the floor to use as a knee pad.
People should wait for their spincter to talk to the brain...
WTH???

He advises on the other sites to put ice on burns...NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!! You should NEVER put ice, butter, etc on a skin burn!!! (Flush with water for 15 mins. and NO Ointment, cover with a sterile bandage until you can seek medical help)

I've taken alot of first aid & disaster training the last few weeks, so that is what they taught us, or I could've just said, I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night...LOL

I really need to get a life....

[toggleswitch]

Did someone say knee-pads?

Thanks for the input Carol. Nice to see you posting!

 

[Maytagmom]

Togglesbaby

I will "take one for the Team" anytime I can...LOL

[westytoploader]

Just goes to show you...

Someone has WAY too much time on their hands! However, we may be laughing at these videos and tips, but perhaps this is to educate immigrants who have different, much less sanitary practices of personal and home hygiene?

 

[toggleswitch]

LOL.

Shall we include a booklet upon entry to the country of our cutsoms, traditions (DAILY bathing, no less than weekly laundry, etc.) and sanitation/sanitary/hygiene practices?

Not to mention a razor, soap and deodorant.

...and if you think I practice nativism (those born here act/ believe they are superior to foreign born) my mother [who IS a foreigner] is 100 X WORSE. LOL

BOY what she says against immigrants (i.e.* Lock the doors and close the borders to start*!!!! )

O M G

OY VEY!

 

[DADoES]

I watched the shower clip, much to my regret. Anyway, he left out a crucial step -- RINSING. And everyone knows how important those overflow rinses are around here....

 

[brettsomers]

so many soundbites, soo little time...

"Before getting dressed in the morning, smell the crotch of your pants. This is the best test of urinary and fecal leakage"

 

[veg-o-matic]

Okay, at first I thought this guy was making these films for people in assisted care homes or some such--occupational therapy kind of thing.

Turns out he's just an idiot. The four steps for a shower don't seem to include the initial wetting down or the final rinse. Well, other than the buttocks.

What got me was the how to clean your floor video (which I couldn't finish.) You know, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that you DON'T STORE POISONS IN FOOD CONTAINERS. But there he is with Spic & Span in a MILK jug forcryingoutloud.

There was one very good thing, though: he didn't get naked for the shower scene. I'd have had to sleep with the lights on for the next six months!

In watching and reading his website-HOW NOT to do all of those things---"sawing motion with your floss in between the teeth??" How NOT to do it.My dentist taught me--straight down-then up-never saw-you could cut your gums!And he is going to prepare food on the cutting board he was kneeling on to while cleaning his kitchen floor?and use PAPER towels to clean the floor-OH come on here-exactly how NOT to clean the floor-Hands and knees is the most INEFFICIENT way to clean--hard on the back too.Use a mop-the handle is an efficent lever.I have NEVER seen professionals on their hands and knees!And for scrubbing---a floor machine is even better.The paper towels will just cover your floor with paper LINT!

 

[tolivac]

Urinary-fecal "leakage"-couldn't you SEE it?Why sniff?And yes--according to an old Hygiene film I saw in school--"rinsing is the best part of your shower"I think this man is a MORON!And he has a BA degree--in WHAT???and supervisor of ---WHAT???His shower and kitchen cleaning films should be on the comedy channel.Hope the poison control center phone # is handy in his household-the storage of cleaner in a MILK jug-as one other member pointed out.Lets hope he doesn't keep it in the pantry or fridge-and why mix the solution and store it-its better to mix what you need when you need it.

Though my life I have encountered a lot of "brainy" people, most of them don't have an ounce of common sense. You can certainly say that "they are sooooo intelligent, they don't have any brains left".
It's been my observation that after so much education, the brain can't hold anymore. In order for the brain to hold more info, something else has to leave, and usually it's common sense. It's just my theory, but I have seen it time and time again.
Personally, I found this guys shower video quite disgusting. I had my mouse on the "stop" button in case he did undress!
