@ssamdgangster Well, at least breezy.
Very windy??? Hmmmm. Possibly, but with this kind of view I think it’s best to start small (breezy) and work up big (tornado).

@ssamdgangster But…. there’s no reason to rule out the possibility that that is not “real outdoors” and a bunch of people are lying on the ground shaking fake trees. Fake plastic trees, at that.
That’s it… I’m convinced. It’s a sound stage.

@ssamdgangster Well,I”m about to find out. I invested roughly $22,000 to make a set almost exactly as the one in the video. With the exact same placement of fake trees – as well as 10 highly paid individuals to lay on the ground (out of camera shot) and to shake the trees to and fro. Ssamdgangster, I’m going to need you to free up some time next week and fly out to Milwaukee, WI. You are going to have to judge. Sorry, you can’t opt out.. you’re in too deep.

@MusicManiaBand Cramps don’t cause any damage. They hurt like the dickens, and are ofen just signs of dehydration, loss of certain vitamins/minerals or overexertion, or sudden exertion after periods of being sedentary. You don’t need all the ‘cleansers’ like this quack suggests. I personally hate apple cider vinegar and won’t drink the stuff! Eight glasses of water daily, a magnesium-potassium supplement and specific excercises (found all over the web) should do the trick; if not, doc appt!

@ Blindly… trust me you do NOT want these kind of cramps.. I am cursed with them and they are the most horrific things ever. I have had two children with NO drugs, I would rather give birth than have these horrible spasms in my legs

Look up muscle necrosis, these can cause permanent damage

i get them when i stretch in the morning and god dam it hurt but i think it only last 10 seconds when i get them. But today i had them from this morning (10:30) and i still got them (15:59) but it doesn’t hurt as must but i know it still there because i can feel it when i move my legs, this morning i couldn’t hardly work to lessons because my muscles was tight at the back of my upper part of my lower legs (hamstrings). it more worst in my right leg than in my left

@Evilorgans Like I said, CRAMPS do not cause damage. Muscular necrosis is a disease, side effect of said disease includes muscle cramps. The cramps, in and of themselves, do not cause permanent damage, but the necrosis will and does.

@terryliciareed
“CRAMPS” can cause damage you can tear your muscle and when i say muscle necrosis i mean your muscle can deteriorate. I get a lot of these and not only have i noticed a huge different in the strength of my calf muscle has deteriorated. If these did not cause damage you would not be sore for 2-3 days after
You can also rupture tendons, Possibly break bones. Not to mention if they happen at a bad time (going up a ladder) you could die.

@terryliciareed
Telling people these are harmless is misinformation exp if they ignore them they could have a serious Disease

Several people have said that my comment about leg cramps being usually harmless or fairly easy to treat were “dangerous.” The only danger is when you, the sufferer, IGNORE it for so long it CAN become dangerous. I repeat: legs cramps USUALLY are not harmful, and USUALLY not life-threatening. Assume responsibility for your own health – get professional help when pain continues. DUH! Is this the Simpleton’s Hour, or did I miss something?
