Buy duct-tape at hardware store. Tape baby to wall
;)
My son also used duct tape
on his plantar warts on his feet. It worked great. His tape stayed on fine except when he took a shower, so we just took it off and then put back on. Took a few weeks but it was less painful than freezing. Found an article on Google when I typed in plantar warts. Duct tape-HMO on a roll.
Try a little duct tape.
If it could hold my old car together, it should work on a chair. Good luck! :-)
Duct Tape is the ticket......
 and leave it on for days..........do not remove it daily
Duct tape all the way baby!
My 7-year-old had three warts on each of her heels, which we tried OTC products for and they only seemed worse. They started to really bother her so I Googled it and came across duct tape. Then I found one that said to soak a cotton ball (or piece of one the size that you will need) in apple cider vinegar and apply to affected area. Then duct tape over this. We changed this 1-2 x per day due to the area that was affected. I learned after the first one that you really need to squeeze out the majority of the vinegar, but it still gets the acid from it. She has been wart-free for over 8 months. If they ever come back again I will use this method again.... worked great!
tried duct tape, no go, broke immediately, thanks though, NM

How about a super glue/duct tape combo?
I can't tell what material the broken part is though.
Gotta love duct tape! America's fixer upper, LOL!

Is there a cure for shyness.
I am 32 years old. When I was in grade school I was usually a loner. Not that I wanted to be just that I was very very shy. I was always afraid to go to the more popular kids for fear of being made fun of. I never tried to be popular because I thought no matter what I did it was uncool. I would get so embarrassed when attention was turned to me whether it be bad or good attention I never wanted to be the center of it. I would always turn bright red and want to hide.
I have come out of it a lot. I am still shy though. I am afraid to approach the doctors at the hospital I work or any of the big wigs. My co-workers will stop them in the hallway and say "hay doc, whats up, blah blah blah" but it takes an effort for me to say "hi" I just feel like I am missing out on life for being shy. I know I missed out on childhood. The number of boyfriends I had I can count on my one hand. As far as regular friends there is only one or two at a time. They all seem to come and go. At the moment I don't believe there is anyone I can call up right now and just talk to. Anyone have any words of encouragement. Any good books to read on this subject.
My headache cure
I found that, when I totally quit eating foods high in tyramine, my headaches went away. Interestingly, this is the same diet recommended for patients who take MAO inhibitor antidepressants. High tyramine foods include red wine, soy, aged cheese, possibly chicken and turkey, sour cream, and others.
Cure for In-Law Problems
Marry a man with dead parents! His father died years before we met and his mother died right after we started dating. Poof! Problem taken care of. Now before you all start flaming me, I am just kidding. But I do realize how lucky I am to not have to deal with a MIL. He has brothers who have children and grandchildren, so they spend Christmas Day with their families. We all get together on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day we go to my family's. One of my sisters has the MIL from He$$ and boy does she wish she was in my place!

I found a cure for
Found this on the internet and it cures in three days! It really works!
Triamcinolone cream mixed with monistat, tiny dot three times a day.
Of course antibiotics can't cure you...
the flu is a VIRUS. I think that everyone is getting far too upset about this.

the cure for boredom is work
I personally think that this trend will end because people will have less leisure time and less money, and you need both to screw around.
In our family that is called "Present Fever" and there is no cure.
The only thing that has been successful for us so far are distraction tactics that keep them busy away from the tree and, in dire situations away from the house.
We also use empty "decoy" boxes under the tree (this started years ago when the little ones and the puppy would unwrap random gifts at random times), and we tell everyone they are getting socks and underwear, and that is all. Then we put there actual gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve.
My brothers and I all had present fever, but I cannot remember what our mother did to keep from being driven bonkers. I will have to ask and get back to you.
Video tape him.........I will keep saying it - sm
I said it before, a picture is worth a thousand words. You video tape him on one of his rampages and the Sheriff will definitely believe you and get off his fat butt and arrest him. Obviously try to do this w/o him knowing you are doing it....candid camera style.
That's great. I also use relaxation tape before bed
xx
I got a relaxation tape on Amazon.com. SM
They have several listed. It is actually hypnosis. You listen before going to sleep. It relaxes you to fall asleep and the positive things it says during the tape help during the day.
I know this sounds like a bunch of BS, but it really works and I am very hyper. Past my PMS years, but still hyper.
I think maybe the tape could be removed, but why the other things? sm
I like Halloween, too. I love, love, love the orange lights, etc. My friend has her inside and outside decorated like you would not believe. She has a big party every year, and for the kids on Trick or Treat night (hundreds come, literally) She even has the tombstones on the bank and her friend operates the steam machine! Just as the kids approach the porch the mist comes up over the stones! YIKES! I go over to hand out candy. It is a total riot and they love it! Their parents take pictures! She has funny stuff, too. It is just bright and things making noise, etc. They just love it.
For the party she even makes a meatloaf to look like a foot! The tomator sauce is . . oh well, you get the picture. 
They caught the guy from the sex tape!! He admitted who he was!!!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071016/ap_on_re_us/sex_tape_suspect
The guy who raped the little 3 year old girl was caught - he got pulled over for something else, confessed who he was and said he was tired of running!!
Not lonely! Consider it a retreat! Get some books on tape from
s
...tape the bag closed and throw it in outside trash until

Little girl on horrific tape has been found
they are just reporting they found the little girl on that tape they've been showing on the news. They're still looking for that demon of a man.
Definitely not a good thing to use that tape, in my opinion. But! sm
You can do a lot of other fun things! I hung a few witches, a scarecrow, a black cat, pumpkins on the brick outside and will go and get hay, etc. in a few days to decorate with.
Our neighbors used the yellow caution tape
and I thought it was a very clever idea. Their house looks great. Myabe depending on the area you live in. We are in a new housing development and they are at the end of a cul-de-sac.
kitchen confidential...the book is on tape/maybe CD by now read by the author...sm
Kitchen Confidential (2000) is Chef Anthony Bourdain's personal and professional memoir of 25 years in the kitchens of New York. The book's full title is Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, but Bourdain, who studied at Vassar College before graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, with knife-sharp prose cuts through the underbelly and straight into the entrails of New York's culinary world.
Beginning with a boyhood introduction to his first raw oyster, a "glistening, vaguely sexual-looking object, still dripping and nearly alive,' and navigating through soaring heights and devastating lows of a career simultaneously fueled and marred by drugs and alcohol, Bourdain's constant companions, this memoir not only tracks the coming of age of a now-celebrity chef with his own Food Channel series, but it maps the restaurants and kitchens that came and went during Bourdain's formative cooking years.
Though he is currently a highly-regarded executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles, Bourdain's early years were spent ricocheting from one failure to another, particularly during the period he refers to as "the wilderness years."
It is one of the central ironies of my career that as soon as I got off heroin things started getting really bad. High on dope I was, prior to Gino's, at least a chef - well paid, much liked by crew and floor and owners alike. Stabilized on methadone, I became nearly unemployable by polite society - a shiftless, untrustworthy, coke-sniffer, sneak-thief, and corner-cutting hack, toiling in obscurity in the culinary backwaters. I worked mostly as a cook, moving from place to place, often working under an alias.
Despite a total immersion approach to drugs and debauchery, Bourdain maintains his love of food and a passion for his work throughout. He is a purist with an ironclad work ethic, an ironically common badge of the addict. Bourdain's prose is peppered with profanity and he frequently refers to his customers as "rubes" and those who exist outside the restaurant industry, "civilians." His approach to writing is the same as his approach to food: clear, concise, and lacking in ephemeral B.S. He is, in short, a pleasure to read - or to listen to, as in this case.
As an audio book, Kitchen Confidential soars, because who better to deliver Anthony Bourdain's biting assessment of the restaurant industry than Bourdain himself? The sardonic tone emanates perfectly from the author's own voice. With oaudio books often not the case, but Bourdain proves equally capable behind the microphone as he is behind the laptop,lap tope chef's counter. Pick up a copy of this book. If you spend any amount of time in New York City restaurants, Kitchen Confidential is a must-read. If you've spent any time working in the culinary arts, Kitchen Confidential is a must-read. For anyone else, Kitchen Confidential will be one of the fastest and sharpest works of memoir that you'll ever have the pleasure of digesting. This book was rented from www.simplyaudiobooks.com.
