Onions....

Published

Ugh! I keep getting asked if I want some onions to cut up around my office. Um no, but thanks, I'll stick to my sanitizing wipes and disinfectant spray. Of course, this same co-worker also told me that her son had a 100.8 temperature and a sore throat, so she sprayed his throat with thieves. So her daughter says..oooh you're giving him the 'sassy spray?'. So, apparently thieves is good for everything. :sour:

I really thought you were going to say "put raw potatoes in his socks at bedtime." My sister told me her friend had seen that on FB and tried it and it really worked!!:cautious:

My Mother in-law swears by sleeping with a bar of soap under the sheets at the foot of her bed to ward off leg and foot cramps. Every time she stays with us she wastes a new bar of soap.

My 90-year-old little Irish grandmother swears that a Hot Toddy will cure any illness. She claims that once my grandfather had a fever, and when he drank a Hot Toddy steam came off of his head then his fever was gone. I just smile and nod because she's a sweet old lady.
