Amazingly Simple Home Remedies

Slinky - it's fun for a girl or a boy.Amazingly Simple Home Remedies - THESE REALLY WORK!!  I checked this out on Snopes.com and it's for real!

1. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

2. For the guys: Avoid arguments with the females about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.  

3. For high blood pressure sufferers: Simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins.  Remember to use a timer.

4. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

5. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives.  Then you’ll be afraid to cough.

6. You only need two tools in life – WD40 and Duct Tape.  If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD40.  If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape.

7. If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.

Daily thought: Some people are like Slinkies – not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when they tumble down the stairs.

Slinky Jingle:

    What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs and makes a slinkity sound?
    A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!  Everyone knows it's Slinky.
    It's Slinky, it's Slinky.  For fun it's a wonderful toy.
    It's Slinky, it's Slinky.  It's fun for a girl or a boy.
    It's fun for a girl or a boy!

Let me be your slinky today.  Happy Friday everybody!

You probably don't know this, but guys use the sink anyway. It's one of those guy-secrets that I'm not supposed to reveal. Happy hand-washing.

My husband has a habit of using the tub as his toilet trough (like at a stadium men's room) in the morning, Malcolm.  Is that revealing too much?

Heather--This is what I love about you your sense of humor as well as being able to look on the bright side of every situation.  A few years slinky was the answer to a Jeopardy question.  Bye.
