Simple ways to improve your life

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:

  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 your partner 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.
  7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will forget about the toothache.
  8. 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.
  9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
  10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
  11. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance.
  12. And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might need them to empty your bed pan.

Don't try this at home. Try it at a friend's house - it's much safer there.

I don't return to the fridge, but I do just stand in front of it, waiting for new goodies to appear..occasionally I ask it why it doesn't have what I want...

That's what boyfriends are for - to speedily replace the items in your fridge while you blink.

But only nice things of course. Chococo chocolates and champagne and things like that. not things like celery.
