What faucets do you let drip all and do you turn on hot and cold knobs?

If you are asking which one you leave on to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter time the answer is that it depends. First, most houses today don't have this problem. The supply lines in the yard are buried deep enough not to freeze and the houses are insulated well enough for interior pipes not to freeze if the house is occupied.
If you own an older home then you may have to worry about this. If you are worried about the supply pipe in the yard that brings water to the house not being buried deep enough so that it could freeze, then you only need to leave open a cold water tap to drip.
If you have pipes in your walls or under your house that you think might freeze then you need to let both hot and cold drip.

Do i turn on hot or cold so my pipesdontfreeze?
Technically it won't matter as the hot water is made from incoming cold water. However it would be cheaper to turn on the cold water and let it run very slowly, more than a drip. If you leave the hot open, the heater will be turning on and off all night.

Better yet, they can be fixed. First turn off the shut off valve below, then take off the handle and the nut below it and then uscrew the shaft and you'll see the washer or what remains of it. Take it to the store and choose another washer. re-build it the opposite way.
Shower Stall and Bathtub Safety?
Many people slip and fall while bathing each year. Fortunately, there are ways to make shower stalls safe for children, the elderly, and even able-bodied adults. Many people don't realize the potential for injury until they or a loved one have an accident. By being aware of potential hazards, you can better evaluate the safety of your current bathroom setup. Many bathtubs and shower stalls are designed to be easy to clean, with smooth and slick surfaces. Slippery floors are a definite hazard, especially to those with compromised balance. A fall in the tub or shower can result in bruises, broken bones, and head injuries. Some manufacturers design bathtubs and shower stalls with floor molding or slightly rougher finishes to help wet feet keep their grip. If you have a naturally slippery tub or shower floor, you may want to invest in a rubber mat to help prevent falls. Faucets and knobs are handy for hanging things in the shower, but they can also be safety hazards. Children can hit their heads on shower knobs. Adults can hit knobs and tub faucets during a fall, resulting in lacerations and bruises that can turn a minor accident into a serious one. Adults should check the height of the knobs in a shower stall before a child bathes. If the child is at risk for hitting their head, the knobs can be covered with a towel. Many home safety companies make soft covers for bathtub faucets, and knobs that protrude too far from the wall can be replaced with ones that fit closer or are recessed. Water temperature is another important safety consideration. Each year many people are scalded when they turn the hot water temperature up too high. Children and the elderly are particularly prone to this type of accident. While most adults can remember not to turn the hot water all the way on without adding cold water, it is much safer to turn down the temperature of the water heater to a safe level.
