    [size=+1]1. 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.

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

    3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by simply using 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.[/size]

    I've come to a point where I almost need to do something drastic like idea #5 just to get out of bed on time.

    I read a while ago that there is this alarmclock that when you hit the snooze button, it rolls of the table and 'hides' somewhere in your room.. so when the alarm goes off the second time you actually have to get out of bed and look for it.. hehe..

    Dunno if it was true or not but it is a briliant idea ;)

    That would be great. I have to change the location of my alarm clock every couple days or weeks now, otherwise my body trains itself where to hit to make the noise go away, even when I'm sleeping.

    hmmmm, good idea, but I don't have any gas, so I'm trying some clorox instead.

    .... hmmm ....

    .....what a lot of people (myself included) would consider "lame ass" is the way people are sucked into almost every-and-the-latest campaign by people flogging the newest "cherry-flavoured toothpaste", the latest "head and shoulders" dandruff-shampoo, and the latest "lynx" deodorant that rescues daft pansies from the un-conscionable circumstance :rolleyes: of allowing their natural, musty odor to exist for more than a few minutes.

    As someone who sees a lot of sense in seeking 'alternative remedies' (..and often questioning whether there is a need for a "remedy" in the first place) I felt it appropriate to offer my two cents ...sorry for the tangent/hi-jack!

    As far the original post ... [ : insert delayed laugh here : ]

    Did the clorox work? Because one of my brothers mixed one part bleach with 10 parts water and sprayed it on his poison oak rash and it really helped.

    Clorox is the key. Poison Ivy dry's & dies in less then 36 hours if scratched raw then submersed in Clorox or other type of bleach. Remember if scratched open too much before bleaching scars can result....

    Of course I take no responsibility whatsoever for any side effects...heh
