honey to get rid of a cough. sadie is 11 months and i am VERY tempted to try it (she's sick now) but worried she'll explode or something.

you think it's okay if she's already had other things with honey in them?


to get rid of a wart quickly, put a banana peel over the wart, cover with a bandage (change twice daily).

leg cramps (no shit, this seriously does work - look up more info with "Dr. Gott") put a bar of soap under your sheets. instant relief.

Nosebleed: Put a lead fishing weight on a piece of fishing line around the neck. Don't know why it works, but it sure seems to.

Yeah, she is almost a year.. why not try a little.


You know what I tried the other night?? My mom told me to put Vicks rub stuff on the bottom of my daughters feet (then put socks on) to stop her coughing in the night...

.... and for some odd reason, IT WORKED.


What's with that?!

Vicks on the bottom of the feet seems to work, we have done that for years.
