Remember that blog I wrote about how to keep house flies out of your house and how to keep your banana's from becoming a home for hundreds if not Thousands of fruit flies? Well here is another one!

Are you tired of those lingering coughs, and chest congestion, that don't let us sleep very well. There is an answer to Nyquil, without the drowsiness, and who wants to give your Children or Grand children all that drug! I have shared this with about 10 family and friends who all say it allowed them sleep a lot better, and wake up feeling like something was working on their cold all night long. Vicks Vaporub, Most of us had that rubbed on our chest as kids, and those of you who might be old enough to remember it is a menthol vapor rub. Works kinda like Vicks cough drops. Here is the twist, apply it to the bottoms of your feet, and cover with (white) socks, and go to bed. It is a biological fact that if you rub Garlic on your soles, within 10-15 minutes you will have Garlic Breath. That being known, this vapor rub get really deep and doesn't rub off like it did on your chest.

While I don't think this is a cure for anything, is has worked consistently, with the people I know and so far that is from a 2 yr. old - a 70 (something man) with pneumonia, while he was on antibiotics this offer some relief. Just so we are clear I say Vicks so you know what I mean, Any store brand will do the same thing.

I got this one from Vicky in WI who most of us know and love so I wanted to add it too! Vicky said she hasn't tried it yet as there is 7 ft of snow outside her house, not too many mosquitos are hungry during that! If it doesn't work you might get a lot do compliments on your breath so it has some merit anyway!!

Thanks Vicky!!


Subject: Fw: Mosquitoes Listerine!

Not sure if this really works, but it can't hurt to try it. Vicky





The best way of getting rid of mosquitoes is Listerine,
the original medicinal type. The Dollar Store-type works,
too. I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs
were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party
sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the
little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a
4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat
whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked
as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the
area around the food table, the children’s swing area,
and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I
don’t leave home without it.....Pass it on.

OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS:
I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works -
in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target
and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a
big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of
spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this,
please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a
wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame.
Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog
house if you have one.....hey, that would sure freshen up a dog house:)
