    AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

    1. If you are choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down
    your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

    2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold
    while you chop.

    3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat. Go outside or
    use the sink.

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

    5. 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.

    6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be
    afraid to cough.

    7. 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.

    8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

    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.

    When I was about eight years old a uncle (inlaw) moved to San Diego and started to work at Convair. He stayed with us for a while until he was able to get settled. He had seven alarm clocks and set them all for the same time but sometimes would still not wake up. One day my mother said "go wake up your uncle". I tried to wake him up and he said "leave me alone or I will smack you". I told my mom what he said and she said "if you don't you will get a spanking form me". So I went outside and got the cat. Went to his bed pulled the covers off threw the cat on the top of his back (no PJs or shirt) and dragged the cat by the tail down his back. Then I RAN! Uncle woke up. I didn't get smacked or spanked. Never was asked to wake him up again.

    Those are cute...

    I always wake up half an hour to an hour before my alarm goes off, regardless of what time I set it.
    Still end up punching the snooze at least twice anyhow.[;)]

    To stop nail biting, buy the cheapest toilet paper you can find.

    To make cleaning the fridge easier, skip making dinner for the family a few days.

    To remove a bathtub ring, throw out the Irish Spring and substitute lye soap.
