Too many take that path.
There's claim also that I can heal,
You'll have to do the math.
Yes, uses for me do abound,

A couple years ago my teaser got rejected because it had an alcohol reference...
Not bad...
I would've solved this easily if it hadn't been for this hangover I have this morning !!!
Thank you for the positive feedback!! It had been a while since I last posted a teaser.
Liked this one! Good writing!
I was thinking a hand. I think it fits pretty well.
I thought the answer was "time". Time heals all wounds. We are living on borrowed time. Time kills all things.
I thought it was money.
I had no idea. Good one!
Ohhhh I was thinking a bath tub...
time also fits this one as time is on oour side or time is working aginst us.
So, yeah, I thought it was a dog...good one!
I was thinking aspirin, but didn't make the rubbing connenction.
Actually I was thinking credit, that's how far I was off the mark. Really good teaser. Thanks for posting.
hmm...I was thinking money or taxes. seems like this teaser was a bit too vague.
nicely written... i knew i was right upon the first reading, didn't even need the hint, though the hint was clever also
yeah, it's really good. i also thoght the answer was aspirin or pills because of the ' you can find me everywhere' but the rubbing part was what i couldn't figure. Nice one, you had me thinking
Every time I thought of an answer, one or more of the clues didn't fit! I kept trying to get the "rub" connection, too; but I never did. Now that I know the answer, it seems simple.
Thanks.
Thanks.
