Frannie Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 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 misses about lifting the toilet seat by simply using the sink. 4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a while, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. 5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep when 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 tooth ache? Hit your thumb with a hammer, then you will forget about the tooth ache. Sometimes we Just Need to Remember What The Rules of Life Really Are... You need only two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance! Quote Link to comment

Frannie Posted June 17, 2003 Author Share Posted June 17, 2003 Mexico, really? How cool! I've wanted to travel around Mexico for some time. Where did you live? Why would you be moving . . . and where would you be going? Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Yep! I was born and raised in Mexico by missionary parents...then my DH and lived there for a year and a half (DD was born there), and then came back because of DH's health issues. We have thought of moving because of our rent...but really like where we are, so are trying to work it out to stay here...we'll have to see what happens. You'd love Mexico...nice, friendly people and great food! I grew up in Queretaro, about two and a half hours North of Mexico City. Quote Link to comment
