			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this list and wondered if anyone tried the following and found them to be true or false.</p>
<p>1.	Mayonnaise &#8211; will KILL LICE; it will also condition your hair<br />
2.	Elmers Glue &#8211; paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off dead skin and blackheads<br />
3.	Shiny Hair &#8211; use brewed Lipton Tea<br />
4.	Sunburn &#8211; empty a large jar of Nestea into your bath water<br />
5.	Minor burn &#8211; Colgate or Crest toothpaste<br />
6.	Burn your tongue &#8211; put sugar on it!<br />
7.	Arthritis &#8211; WD-40 Spray and rub in, kill insect stings too<br />
8.	Bee stings &#8211; meat tenderizer<br />
9.	Chigger bite &#8211; Preparation H<br />
10.	Puffy eyes &#8211; Preparation H<br />
11.	Paper cut &#8211; Crazy Glue or Chapstick (glue is used instead of sutures at most hospitals)<br />
12.	Use a Maxi-Pad in your cap as a sweat band (of course I think I would staple this or pin it in&#8230;you wouldn&#8217;t want it to drop on the ground) Ha<br />
13.	Stinky feet &#8211; Jell-O!!<br />
14.	Athletes foot &#8211; cornstarch<br />
15.	Fungus on toenails or fingernails &#8211; Vaporub<br />
16.	Peanut butter &#8211; will get scratches out of CD&#8217;s! Wipe off with a coffee filter paper<br />
17.	Sticking bicycle chain &#8211; Pam no-stick cooking spray<br />
18.	Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands!<br />
19.	Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls<br />
20.	When doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle with corn starch and watch them slide on<br />
21.	Heavy dandruff &#8211; pour on the vinegar!<br />
22.	Tie Dye T-Shirt &#8211; mix a solution of Kool-Aid in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the t-shirt and soak<br />
23.	Preserving a newspaper clipping &#8211; large bottle of club soda and 1/2 cup of milk of magnesia, soak for 20 minutes and let dry; will last for many years!<br />
24.	To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate toothpaste<br />
25.	Stay-Free Maxi Pads- clean window, floors, just stick to the palm of your hands and work! Can also be used as a knee pad.<br />
26.	Pampers as an absorbent! Remove stains from the carpet with club soda, and a pamper to absorb.<br />
27.	Wine stains, pour on the Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt.<br />
28.	To remove wax &#8211; Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain, it will absorb into the towel.<br />
29.	Remove labels off glassware, etc. &#8211; rub with peanut butter!<br />
30.	Baked on food &#8211; fill container with water, get a Bounce paper softener and the static from the Bounce sheet will cause the baked on food to adhere to it. Soak overnight. Also; you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak overnight!<br />
31.	Crayon on the wall &#8211; Colgate toothpaste and brush it!<br />
32.	Dirty grout &#8211; Listerine<br />
33.	Stains on clothes &#8211; Colgate<br />
34.	Grass stains &#8211; Karo Syrup<br />
35.	Grease Stains- Coca Cola, it will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight. We know it will take corrosion from batteries!<br />
36.	Sweat Stains &#8211; Efferdent, or vinegar.  <a href="http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-sweat-stains.htm" target="_blank">Vinegar, Maybe</a><br />
37.	To Keep FRESH FLOWERS longer &#8211; Add 2 Bayer aspirin, or just use 7-Up instead of water. Or use a small amount of mouthwash in the water. <a href="http://www.care2.com/greenliving/how-to-keep-your-cut-flowers-fresh.html" target="_blank">Maybe</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG7355.html" target="_blank">Maybe Not</a></p>
<p>Edit 1/24/08 to add: On second thought &#8211; this will take me forever to look up all these. A better way to find out would be by looking at this:</p>
