Let Me Get Some Action from the Back Section

While talking to a friend the other night, we got on the subject of home remedies. I don't mean to get all Addison on you, but doctors, and modern medicine in general, don't always get it right.
If you are suffering from any of the following ailments or assaches, listen up.

  • When bundle of joy is teething, you're gonna want to hide somewhere until the screaming stops. Fight the urge to throw yourself off a cliff and stay away from the drugstore. Here's what you must do: pour some whiskey in a shot glass. Dip your pinky inside the liquid and rub it all over Junior's sore little gums. Put Junior to bed. Then drink the rest of the shot yourself. Everyone wins.
  • After Little Miracle clawed her way out, you noticed that...well...certain things started coming out the ass. Completely normal. Uncomfortable but normal. Stay away from medication and try this instead: Drink a cup of prune juice every morning and another one around 7pm. Trust me. Will clean you out more effectively than a tax collector. Then soak in a sitz bath for about fifteen minutes every night before bed. Freshens you up in more ways than one. And completely cures tushie troubles.
  • A guy I blow...I mean, know...used to have what medical men refer to as "boo-boo tummy." Hunkalove couldn't eat a thing without severe heartburn. Tried three different meds, chewed Tums like candy corn and suffered an occasional attitude problem whenever I served Mexican. Then he discovered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother. No lie. Dude took a tablespoon with every meal which gradually gave way to a tablespoon every day and now he's cured. Completely. One hundred percent. Every few weeks he takes this Magic Elixir for preventative reasons, but otherwise the man is a delight to dine with again.

Three success stories. Problems solved without pharmaceutical intervention. And don't forget the most important part of this lesson: Drink the rest of the shot yourself.

Class dismissed.

1. I use cherry-flavored brandy in my current novel for the teething tike and sleep-deprived parental unit.

2. Ooookay

3. Long term, Tums and all its cousins don't help because by suppressing the production of stomach acid, they are actually encouraging it to produce more. Recent medical research has figured the cause of much heartburn to be viral and not food related, although too many Thai peppers won't do you any good. Glad he found something that works for him.

Vinegar is nasty, but cures much.

Okay, this is the fourth time someone has suggested vinegar in some form for my heartburn. Obviously God is trying to tell me something.

Awww geeze ... ick.

(about babies I mean, kids just make me think "ick," I don't get it ....)

As for Homeowners insurance earlier ... One of the reasons I left Fla. We had a 960 ft2 house on a hill in Zephyrhills ... 40 miles inland .. concrete block, for gosh sake, and HO went from 400/yr in 2000 to 2,200/yr last year ... No thank you. Let's live somewhere else, see how the Florida legislature likes spending my sales tax money when i'm not there to buy anything ...
