Anyway after Thanksgiving there is going to be a big sale at the mall. Anyone gonna wake up at 6:00am in the morning to go shopping.
Not me. The weather looks pretty good. I'll probably shoot hoops and catch up on some of my DVD movies... Anyone in the neighborhood is welcome to come by...

Homemade helping tips...................
Headache? Drink 2 glasses of Gatorade.
Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns
Achy muscles from the flu? Mix 1 tablespoon of horseradish in 1/2 cup of olive oil. Let mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil.
Sore throat? Mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. Vinegar kills the bacteria.
Use alka-seltzer to cure urinary tract infections. Dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of symptoms. Alka-seltzer begins to eliminate urinary tract infections almost instantly.
Puffiness underneath your eyes? Use Preparation H. It works as a vasoconstrictor releiving the swelling. (That's why it's hemmorhoid medicine)
Listerine for toenail fungus. All you people with nasty feet, use this!
Honey for skin blemishes. A dab of honey and a band-aid is all you need.
Pesky bugs flying around, and you ain't got "Raid" bug spray with you 'cause you waiting for it to go on sale? Use Formula 409 household cleaner.
Easy eyeglasses protection. To prevent screw in your eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybeline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.
Coca-Cola cure for rust. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca-Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in Coke is what gets the job done.
Got a splinter but no tweezers? Put Elmer's Glue All over the splinter and let dry, then peel off the dried glue off the skin. The splinter will stick to the glue. (If you don't got the glue either, then sorry, can't help you.)
Hunt's tomato paste for boil cure. Cover the boil with Hunt's tomato paste and use as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to head.
Dawn dishwashing liquid to kill fleas. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the dog thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations.
Wet-dog odor? Next time your dog comes in the house from the rain, wipe him down with Bounce or any other dryer sheet.

Speaking of freaking out, ever see Se7en?? One hell of a movie, but VERY disturbing...
Yeah, I seen that movie. It was cool. I don't think it freaked me out as much as "28 Days Later" though. Maybe because I was younger at the time (14 years old), so I didn't fully grasp the "concept" of the movie.
Maybe I should watch it again????
