Simple Home Remedies

1.) 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.

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

3.) Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

4.) Gentlemen can avoid arguments with the Mrs. about leaving the toilet seat up by simply using the sink.

5.) For high blood pressure sufferers: Simply cut yourself and bleed for three minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

6.) Have a bad headache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the headache.

Home remedy for infected finger?
Q
Comments (8)
Call the doctor. It started out as a simple paper cut, but now it's much more serious. The usual advice is to see your doctor if the wound becomes infected, as yours has. The usual treatment for small wounds is: 1. Wash the area thoroughly 2. Apply antibiotic salve 3. Cover with a bandaid or other bandage. The salve should be reapplied three times a day. If infection develops, see your doctor.

I believe Mallory is on the right track. I think there's some stomach virus going around. Dottie, if you don't have a fever, than, you're having the same thing I've been having. The stomach only get upset almost right after I eat but not lasting all day, right? Yesterday, I suddenly remembered of my mom's home remedies: Ginger! (not from China =o) I had asian noodles with ginger sauce and it did the trick. The meal stayed in my stomach and my stomach had been calmed ever since.

Sorry, Glenda I have never made hamburger with sauerkraut.

Some recipes that peeps think are German, are really never made in Germany.

Like hot potato salad
German chocolate cake

Here's some more good stuff to remember:

If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:

You only need two tools: 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.

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

Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.

And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might need them to empty your bedpan.
