I don't like wasting good wine  . ASAP after spilling the red wine, pour on some soda water from the bar. The stain will go away & you still have the white wine to enjoy  .

pycnogenol use...

I was introduced to this product by an oncologist in Florida who provides it to all of his patients and claims to have seen miraculous results.
Don’t pooh-pooh it unless you’ve tried it.
Pycnogenol is an antioxidant much stronger than grape seed. I’m curious to know if any other members have experience with this product.

I called in for a bottle today of this suppliment. And also ran thru youtube and got lots of good feedback...thanks for sending the book man! I will keep you posted.

Extra strength Tums with calcium will stop leg crams almost instantly.

People with cat allergies need to learn that this does not happen from the hair of the cat, but rather the saliva (SLOBBER)--from the pet licking itself...a damp warm rag and wipe down the fur will reduce your symptoms. How'd we get the word 'slobber' from saliva anyway? ...lol

WD40 and Ear Mites
OK...I tried the WD40 thing for my arthritis and It worked! I now use it on my hands, feet, knees and low back...no more squeaking  ... No really it does help relieve pain. My husband finally gave it a try for his shoulder and back because it couldn't go to sleep and BAM 10 min later he was out!
The reason I went ahead and tried this is I had talked to a girl that's 93 year old grandmother had been using it for pain for over 30 years with no side effects.....hey ...thats a longer test than most meds get before they are released for us to use.
HERE IS THE CLINCHER! I tried it on ear mites and it worked! My little dog got ear mites in one ear from the neighbors kittens on one of her visits.
I felt so bad for her, it was Sunday and the Vet was closed. I thought I would spray some WD40 in her ear and rub it in real well. I did it then cleaned her ear out, sprayed it in again then gave her a bath. Since WD stands for "water displacement" i figured it would keep the water from her ear drum.
Long story longer....about 20 min. after the bath she stopped shaking her head and scratching her ear....It's been over 48 hours and not one ear itch.....
I now call WD...Wax Displacement!

Calf Cramps
For cramps in your calf muscles, stand flat footed, shoeless, facing a wall at arm's length. Lean forward using your arms for support until your face touches the wall (keep those feet flat on the floor). Do this 10 times, and do three sets a week and those calf cramps will disappear in short order.

Jellyfish sting _ Use meat tenderizer to neutralize the toxin
Bee/Wasp sting - the aforementioned spit and tobacco (any variety works not just pipe tobacco)
Water trapped in ear - a few drops of rubbing alcohol in the ear will let it drain, also works for other ear problems
Arthritis pain - Sounds crazy I know, but let a bee sting the affected area, it really works
Hangover - Learned this trick while I was in the Army, after a long night of drinking, drink a quart of Gatorade before going to bed and another after waking up. A hangover is simply dehydration from the alcohol.
Mouth ulcers (canker sores) - flush the area with Listerine. Burns like hell, but kills the bacteria in the sore and it will go away much more quickly
Sunburn pain - bath the area in vinegar (Makes you smell funky, but makes the sting go away)
