I have an aunt with Lupus, and since she found out I have it, she keeps trying to give me advice.
Great, right?
Only her advice is to not touch uncooked poultry with my bare hands. Says it makes symptoms worse.
She also swears that her dad gave her mom cancer by sharing food. 🙄
Have you ever gotten crazy advice?

I once pulled into a parking spot at the grocery store. The space in front of me was empty, I did not pull through to it. As I got out of my car a wild looking woman ran up to me and loudly shouted "why didn't you pull through? It is much safer to leave a parking spot driving forward". Ummm I walked away.

Well, as crazy as the woman might have seemed...she was right.
Always, take a pull through space, when you can.
I do. ( So many folks in the insurance business, in my family, have advised this. You're a fool, if you don't. Just saying.)
85% of accidents, in parking lots, happen when backing out of a space.

Don't do that, if you can avoid it.
JMHO
All my camera's and avoidance systems are on the back. Plus the front of the car is longer than the back of the car, so no.

In 50 years of driving, even without all the cameras and help included in the new vehicles, I've never once had problems or an accident backing out of a parking space. If one's mirrors are set up properly and one is paying attention to the act they're performing, it's easy peasy to not get in an accident. All it takes is a little common sense and focus.
DH backed into someone. Apparently he didn't hear her honking at him either. I suspect they were both backing out of their spots at the same time and she wanted to go first. Anyway, he's much more paranoid when backing out now.

I would beg to differ! LOL! I do think back up cameras and side cameras have made driving much safer. I have a side camera so when i merge traffic i can easily see behind me, no blind spots. My ADVICE is to get one!
We have some friends who went down the path of "natural and homeopathic" everything. Then they became distributors of some of these products through an MLM so they were hawking protein shakes, pills, etc. I said, no thanks, i can peel a carrot and eat something healthy. And, besides that stuff is not FDA and you have no idea what is really in these shakes , pills, etc. Could be rat poison for all anyone knows. I will take my chances eating real food.
The station wagon I used to have would beep loudly when backing up. It was a county owned car before I had it, so the backup warning was a safety thing. Anyway, it never failed, I put it in reverse and people would intentionally walk behind the car. I've never had anyone walk behind a car in reverse the way they did that car

Statistics, are not in your favor.
Good luck, IKWTDS.
I trust my eyes, more than a back up camera.
You're a smart person. You need to re-think this.
Again, JMHO.
Regardless of stats. A crazy woman running up to me all disheveled and giving me parking advice, umm no. I was so taken aback.

When DH bought me my new car in
July, 2017, I told the dealer I wouldn't
take delivery unless it had a back-up
beeper. They found one, and had it
installed within 24 hours! My car
also has a rear view camera, so between
the beeper, camera, and my own good
sense, I haven't had any near misses.
Knock on wood !

Well, you can have your cameras. lol If your outside mirrors are properly aligned, there are no blind spots.

Oh, I agree. She sounds like a loon!
I would never do that.
I gave the advice to family members and good friends. What they chose to do with it, is up to them.
My mom used to get leg cramps at night and someone told her to put a bar of soap under her bedsheet down by her legs.
I have also heard that you can put Vicks on toenails for fungus. I mean, i don't have toenail fungus so I don't know if that works! lol
My dad gets terrible leg cramps, at night especially, and he uses yellow mustard.
Swallows a spoonful, and before he can sit back down, the cramp is easing.

I get leg cramps (charlie horses) every now and again. I used to drink Tonic Water since it has quinine in it which can relieve the cramps. But then I heard about the mustard remedy, which BTW has vinegar in it. FWM I think there is a link there.

I’ve heard about the bar soap, pickle juice and tonic water for leg cramps.
My mom’s cousin swore that if he ate 10 cherries a day his gout wouldn’t flair up. 10 cherries. Every. Single. Day.

DS will ask to go somewhere. I tell him to get dressed so we can go. He proceeds to lollygag around and do everything but getting dressed. Then he pitches a fit when we can no longer go because the place is closed, closing, or there's not enough time since we have previous plans. It doesn't matter how many warnings I give that the cutoff time for being able to go is approaching.
