    Hospitals good for personal cleaning

    I would hope that we stick to the theme of sponge baths in the restrooms of hospitals and not stealing food at hotels and hospitals. I know about hospitals because unfortunately I have had to spend a lot of time there recently in support of loved ones that dont have a choice in being there.

    Hospitals good for personal cleaning

    Best to use the back doors of hospitals where most of the doctors and employees come and go to parking lots etc. Just wait for someone to enter or exit and follow them through as these doors are locked and require a magnetic key card or access ID number punched into the tablet.

    Cooking Pot Bath

    about 15 years ago when I was living on a sailboat that had a propane stove I learned to take a deep cooking pot that had the inner circumference measuring from the tip of my nose to the back of my head. If I filled it about 1 third full with water ( about 3 quarts I think ) and heated it up...

    Municipal Swimming pools

    In a lot of cities, the local govt provides indoor swimming facilities with appropriate locker and shower facilities. Where I live ( Atlanta, GA ) the fee for access is $2 per visit which is extremely reasonable.

    Hospitals good for personal cleaning

    The big problem is parking around hospitals but if you can figure that out to where the walk is not too far or the parking fee is not too large, there are restrooms convenient to every waiting room where relatives often spend days in support of loved ones in support of the hospital. The...
