I remember when my oldest son was about 3 months old and had an ongoing case of hiccups. To my horror my mother dipped his soother in sugar and popped it in his mouth. I had visions of all the teeth he didn't yet have rotting below the gums but it did work and cured the hiccups and to this day he has a great set of teeth.

Pamy if you're not by yourself when you get them you can have somebody scare the living patootie outta you. I do that to my cat when he has hiccups. *L* Mean mommy but oh well you can't get a cat to eat sugar or tums, or drink vinegar or alot of water. And it usually starts off a running hide and seek game which he loves. And annoys the neighbors down below, which is always a big plus.

Does anyone have an easy way to open those hard plastic heat-sealed containers? The past few days, I've had to open a Leap-Pad book, a flashlight, a weed pruner, and a toy... all of which were in those horrible containers! I usually cut them open, but it's hard and it hurts. Then once you get enough of it cut to get your product out, you have to be careful you don't cut yourself on the sharp hard plastic.

i have a cool box cutter from home depot called a "husky". i then cut the WHOLE way around the item with the cutter. that way i'm not trying to squeeze the item out of the plastic, and i'm not cutting myself on it either.

Has anyone put RainX on their shower doors to prevent water mark build-up? I am considering this...if it works on windows...

I don't know about Rain X, Dee but we use those daily shower cleaner sprays (I prefer Lysol or Scrub Free). Just spray them on the glass after the shower. DO NOT WIPE OFF. Just spray and leave it alone. When it dries, no water spots and no water mark buildup (at least for me).

Deesandy my aunt told me about Clorox Bathroom Cleaner with Teflon surface protector. She says it does wonders on her shower doors. You might try that. I got some to use on my bathtub [shower curtain, no doors] and it's ok on that. Not saying it's better or worse than other products. But the same brand toilet bowl cleaner is AWESOME. Without getting too crude everything just slides off when you flush. edited to add: I've used the products Jan is talking about [when I had shower doors] and they work well. Just nobody but me would use them on a daily basis so it kinda defeated the purpose.

My ex used to get hiccups quite often. The method we always used was a combination of Citruscitygal's & Wink's. I'd block his ears with my fingers while he drank an 8oz glass of water...it worked every single time!

Jan and Serate, Thank You! Okay, please don't laugh because this is actually serious... My husband claims to be alergic to all chemicals and I can only really clean the bathroom when I know he will be gone for awhile or he coughs and has a hard time breathing and swears that I am trying to kill him. So, no daily sprays but I will try the Clorox Bathroom Cleaner with Teflon surface protector sometime when he is out. Thanks for helping!

Hi, I just spent a lot of time on E-Bay and searching the web and couldn't find what I am looking for. I want carved totems, bear, wolf, eagle, etc. I do not want pewter. I want the bear to have a quiver on his back, with tiny little arrows in it. I had one a few years ago, but I lost it. Jade, jasper, obsidium would be fine. I need the totems pre-drilled for a necklace, if possible. I want to buy a few that are compatable and string them on a necklace. If you can find something that I couldn't, I would love for you to send the info to me. Send me a PM, please. And thank you.

I know exactly what you are going through with your husband. My mom has been that way for years. You could spray water out of a perfume bottle and it would bother her. It is due to her then Athsma/ now COPD so alot of smells do bother her and she's afraid of anything making her not be able to breathe. Alot of it is subconscious. I just went and smelled the cleaner and it's not strong. Like I said I've never tried it on shower doors but my aunt swears by it. Good luck!

Dee, there is no need to use the chemical products. My family used to have a business called "The Mean Green Team." Our focus was to provide very through cleaning without any harmful/environmentally harmful/chemically sensitive products. Lemon juice or plain cidar vinegar are absolutely amazing cleaning products. Mold and mildew hate acid and alkaline. Either of those two products should eliminate mold, safely. I am going to post an additional reply to you via PM.

I hope this is the correct thread for this. My question is if you have a tree on your property that is alive but has some dead limbs and one of those dead limbs hits your neighbors car during a very bad storm will your homeowners insurance pay since the limb is dead? In my mind I am thinking it will not pay since the limb is dead and it seems it would be the homeowners responsibility to remove dead limbs so as not to cause such damage. If the insurance does not pay could they sue you in small claims court? This just happened to my dad's home which was put in all us siblings names years before his death in December. We have been getting the house ready to sale and this happened. I think we should just pay for it if homeowners refuses but the rest of the sibs don't because these same neighbors made my parents lives miserable for many years. Just thought I would ask if anyone here knows how things like this work. My brother, who is executor, will be calling the insurance company when he returns from vacation next week.

I think that insurance companies consider this to be an "Act of God" and will not cover the damages.

Does anyone know of a site that has Olympic Trivia on it. I've googled Olympic Trivia and I really can't find much of anything. We are having a contest at work about Olymic Trivia and I have yet to find any of the answers for this weeks questions. Any suggestions on sites?
