Apologies and Laughs

It has come to my recent attention that there are actually several folks who enjoy reading what I have to say on this blog. To those who are "regulars," I offer my apologies for the lack of consistency in new posts and writings. I have a stack of topics tucked away which I eventually want to write about, and I have just not had the time. The past few weeks have conjured up quite the whirlwind of activities, between work, weddings, graduations, and the like. I'm sure most of you can relate. Things look to be slowing down, though, and I am anxious to get back to regular blogging as it is quite therapeutic for me. Again, I apologize and at the same time, thanks for your patience and understanding.

I received an email this morning which I found quite humorous. I haven't laughed at a forwarded email in a long time, but this one had me laughing out loud. I think it deserves some space here, so enjoy!

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. You can avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat just by 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 an egg 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 all about the tooth ache.

8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: In life, you only need two tools - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move but should, use the WD-40. If it should not 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.

Thought for the day: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES .. . . THEY ARE NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY STILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
