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 neeed 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 Clear Nail Polish to the

threads of the screws before tightening them.

Coca-Cola Cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust

removers. Justsaturate 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.

Mobley - thanks - some of

those are great. Love the one with the Bounce for the wet dog!

Coca-cola to remove rust. Yep, that is why my

Dad would never let us drink Coke. He had us test it out for ourselves. He claims he knew this family who drank Coke

all the time and the kids kept breaking their bones. Don't know if it's true or not. Maybe Dad thought we had

rusty bones?

But... euhm... did you actually, really spend the evening copying an article of Good Housekeeping

to the forum??? <img>

But... euhm... did you actually, really spend the evening copying an article of

developing a sense of humor. :rant: My lap is big enough to accompany three ... don't get a spanking! Annnnnd, no,

it only took me two seconds to copy the article, thank you very much! :rasp: You must think I'm blonde.:run:<img

Yep I vaguely remember

something about your "dancing-outfit" - was it?

There, there <img> (kiss) It's cause we like you.



Actually I wavered between that one and the one with the rotten tuna fish, but I wouldn't want to miss out on your

delightfully entertaining posts Mr Mobley!

"He claims he knew this family who

The carbolic acid (carbinated water) tends to

leach calcium from the bones.

Isn't there

carbonated water in all the soft drinks? Would excessive consumption of other soft drink cause the same damage to

bones?

Duct tape for sealing large

wounds and super glue for small wounds. Covering a wart with a spot of duct tape will dry it out.

Great post MobleyC57! I

found this looking for something else:

Many countries have traditional remedies for bad breath that can be

exploited. In Brazil they chew cinnamon, in Italy parsley, in Thailand guava peel, in Iraq cloves, and in eastern

Asia, aniseed.

Pressure on the inside of your

wrist at your pressure point relieves nausea.
Pressure on the webbed skin between your thumb and index finger

relieves headaches. They also say that lying down with a tennis ball under your neck can relieve headaches,

too.
Peppermint settles the stomach, which is why restaurants offer them at the end of the meal.
Laughter

increases immune system response.
The nerve endings in the body can only process one sensation at a time...that's

why massages and rubbing sore areas relieves the pain.
I also heard that cranberry juice relieves urinary tract

infections.

Cranberry juice is really good for your kidneys, so

thats probably related.

Cranberry juice make your urine

more acidic which is an unfavorable environment for the yeast bacteria.

Coca-Cola removes gall

stones.

Aloe repairs stomach ulcers.

Tapping your thymus relieves headaches.

Holmes, if a vampire drinks HIV

contaminated blood, does he get aids and live forever all weak and emaciated? That would really be dumb luck.

That disease only affects

humans. Since vampires are not human, it wouldn't do anything.

You might not

believe this but Virgin Coconut oil kills warts, I had one fall right off my face after taking 1 teaspoonful for

about 10 days.
several others have reported the same with warts and other viruses.

I agree, Monsieur Mobley might be a "mean old poop" after all. All I did was laugh

(at what he said - no less!) and see what I get? Monsieur, you should be flattered that you amuse me so much!



So, off I go to have a Pina Colada.... :thumbsup:

Subject:

Mosquito Spray

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. :rant:



A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. \o/



The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila!

That worked as well It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing

area, and the standing water nearby. :thumbsup:

During the summer, I don't leave home without it! :cheers:



I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my

bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so, it is not as

expensive to use as the can of spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes.

So, try this, please. It will last

a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray

around the window frames, and even inside the dog house. :think:
