Home Remedies That Work

Simplify your life with these home remedy suggestions. Not exactly Martha Stewart.

A close friend sent me this amazing list of home remedies which he claims really work.  They're worth a try.

 

 Amazing simple home remedies: 

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

 2. 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 – WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. 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 pushed down the stairs.

I expected to learn something. Instead I laughed my butt off. Thanks, Irene.

Hi Den Mom,
W-D 40, duct tape and a butter knife and all projects are possible.

Alexandra -- That'll teach you not to think everything has to be educational. Glad you got a kick out of it. Keep laughing.

Dear tbs, Deon Coles black box is the worst tv show ever. Though it is hosted by a black man, it'sRead More a show based on pointing fun and rude Racist jokes directed toward black people. If there was a white host it would be considered racist but because a black man was appointed to be host , you might have figured we wouldn't be offended but we are and I can't speak for all but I feel like resist jokes aren't ok regardless of who is telling them and I would like tbs to take down this show or atleast change the points in the show ! -signed, Kalil Stimpson
