Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Legit question for anyone who has a water softener - are they worth it?

Our town has very hard water, and this year more than any other, my skin is ridiculously dry and itchy.

I have been scratching so bad during the night that I wake up with dried blood and deep gauges everywhere I can reach. And now that I have purchased a back scratcher, I am bleeding in places I couldn't before reach.

Cortisone 10 cream helps localized spots (like my shins), but I would need a tube/day if I slathered it head to toe. P.S. - there is no rash, or bite marks, so I'm quite sure it's no worse than severe dry skin.

I did a little online research, so I know how water softeners work, what they cost, how much room I need, etc.
What I want now is personal opinion - yea or nay?

I don't have one - but I am a fan of neosporin eczema relief products for itching. There's a body wash and a lotion and they work wonders. Also maybe try using baby Aveeno as a shower gel. It smells heavenly.
