Remedies and tips that work

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

DID YOU KNOW THAT. .

Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately — without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional
“pain relievers.”

Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?

Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoid Peppermints. They’ll clear up your stuffed nose.

Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of Horseradish in a cup of Olive Oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.

Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly — even though the product was never been advertised for this use.

Eliminate puffiness under your eyes….. All you need is a dab of Preparation H, Carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The Hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling instantly.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes… Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Listerine therapy for toenail fungus… Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.

Easy eyeglass protection… To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

Coca-Cola Cure for rust… Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer… If menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can’t find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.

Smart splinter remover… just pour a drop of Elmer’s Glue all over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

Hunt’s Tomato Paste boil cure… cover the boil with Hunt’s tomato paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothes the pain and brings the boil to a head.

Balm for broken blisters… To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine… a powerful antiseptic.

Heinz Vinegar To heal bruises… Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.

Kills fleas instantly. Dawn Dish Washing Liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog’s bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Good-bye fleas.

Rainy day cure for dog odor… Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

Eliminate ear mites… All it takes is a few drops of Wesson Corn Oil in your cat’s ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat’s skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing.

Vaseline cure for hair balls….. To prevent troublesome hair balls, apply a dollop of Vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat’s nose. The cat will lick off the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it can pass easily through the digestive system.

Quaker Oats for fast pain relief…. It’s not for breakfast anymore! Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.

    Social Security is saved! Retirement is saved!

    Thursday, June 1st, 2006

    The other day I was sitting in a restaurant with my son-in-law, my daughter, and my wife. We were waiting for our food, and chowing down on the dipping chips.

    Have you noticed anything different about the restaurants you have visited recently?

    I mean, have you noticed anything different about the wait staff?

    That’s right, they’re heavier now.

    Not that many years ago, you almost never saw a fat person being used as a waiter in a restaurant. I know, I know. NO ONE was EVER discriminating against fat people. They just didn’t use fat people as waiters because none of them ever applied for those positions ;-)

    Ok, ok. back to the point.

    I’ve been noticing for some time now that there are quite a few fat people working as waiters in restaurants. Well guess what–that’s happening everywhere and in every job sector.

    It appears waiters and people with other jobs mirror the general public statistically. Now, there’s a big surprise.

    That’s when it hit me. Social Security is SAVED!

    Who would have thought it? Fat people are everywhere. And, fat people die sooner. This means there will be far fewer people sucking up on my social security future!

    My retirement is saved. My future is brighter and more secure.

    Aren’t you glad congress hasn’t gotten off its fat butt to do something before this wonderful discovery? We no longer have to worry about running out of funds.

    Next time you see a fat person, thank them for all that they do and are doing for you.

    ____________
    No fat people were harmed in the writing of this article. If using the term fat bothers you, then you’re probably fat. Get over it. I’m fat too. It hasn’t bothered us enough to do something about it, lik a DIET. But, we’re going to someday–Right?

    Regards.
