A friend sent this to me. I couldn’t resist sharing it with you … Enjoy.

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. If you’re choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you’ll be afraid to cough.

7. You only need two tools in life – WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape.

8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, you’ve got an electrical problem.

Laugh and Be Well.

Stay Healthy.

Does Laughter Prevent Heart Attacks?

When was the last time you laughed? Did you know that it’s good for you? Well, there is more and more research showing that it is.

A recent study at the University of Maryland Medical Center indicates that laughter may be beneficial in the prevention of heart attacks. Funny, don’t you think?

It makes sense to me. I mean, when you laugh, you’re releasing all kinds of beneficial endorphins into your bloodstream, you’re bringing in more oxygen, you’re working your muscles, plus you’re having a pretty good time while you’re doing it.

The researchers found that the patients they interviewed who had suffered from a heart attack, were less likely to laugh or "respond humorously" than patients without heart trouble.

The study has some important implications in our society where heart disease has become the number one killer in the US. Sounds like we’re taking things WAY too seriously.

As an experiment of my own, I dare you … right now … to go over and stare into the mirror and laugh out loud as hard as you can for a full 30 seconds. Fake it if you have to. (Come on … I "double dog" dare you. We used to say that as kids; I’m still not sure what it means, but it’s fun to say.)

If you do this, I GUARANTEE you’ll be smiling afterwards. And who knows, I might have just saved you from having a heart attack.

So as we approach the holidays, have a good laugh or two. It’ll be good for your heart in more ways than one.

Stay Healthy.
