If we put on our coats, even if we say the word dog or park, we can settle them down by giving them a bone of some sort. They know that if we have coats on and they are getting a treat, then they aren't going. Lets them down gently.

Remedy
When I bring the clothes in from the line, I tumble them in the dryer briefly, about 5-10 minutes. This helps with the stiffness. (It also prevents another episode where my husband put on a flannel shirt, buttoned it all the way up only to find out there was a wasp inside!)
rescue remedy
Yup, it's good for animals in distress too - my aunt carries it in her car in case she finds a critter that's been struck by a car or something! It calms them right down.
Seeking home remedy
I have been having horrible Charlie Horse's at night. I have been reading online that there is really no relationship with low potassium, magnesium, or calcium like most people think. The only suggestions I see are stretching or a hot bath.
Anyone have any suggestions of things to try? TIA!
Salty gravy remedy, please? sm
Lid fell off salt shaker and the salt went into the gravy pan. I scooped out as much as I could, but it is still very salty. Can I salvage this? Please say yes! 
wrinkles - best home remedy? sm
Can't afford facials in today's economy. I am a sun worshiper and it's taking a toll on my face, especially this winter. I have been moisturizing with some samples of face cream, sculpting lotion, etc., but I can't afford a hundred dollars for a little jar of stuff that may not work. I have exfoliated with sugar and honey, etc., and also have a big jar of cold cream as my heels are like sandpaper. Help! I look older than my stated age and it's very depressing. I am in the north so I can't get outside either! Winter blahs have set in and I don't want to get depressed. Any suggestions?Dermabrasion is out of the question, plus I have many allergies, afraid of permanent damage to my skin.
My favorite "home" remedy is
Milk of Magnesia used as a mask. (you just pour an amount about the size of a quarter into your hand and dab it on and let it dry for about 20 minutes, until it turns white and your skin itches, and then rinse with cool water). I heard this tip years ago by the black supermodel, Beverly Johnson, and I have been using it since. It is cheap, and works wonders on those tiny fine lines. I am 50 and look about 35. Whether it is the MOM, I don't know. I just know it is the best thing I have found after trying all the expensive remedies for years before I found this. I try to use it at least once per week, and don't forget your neck!!
Anyone have a good home remedy for
environmental allergies?
My 8 y/o is getting his butt kicked between the grasses and trees. This just started a couple of years ago. Have given him children's Claritin D but not sure I can see a difference. Am also wondering if I should just take him to the doctor and see how severe it may be? He's at home today from school - no fever, awful cough, runny nose, allergic shiners.
What's your favorite chapped lips remedy? sm
Usually ChapStick works for me but I've got a bad case of chapped lips right now that nothing is helping. What do you use?
I am so glad my grandmother's remedy worked for you
I called her my little brown mole- she had a garden and in the summer had such a nice tan. She firmly believed in using the Camphopenique for most everything. I did not remember it being used for mouth sores but learned that within the past year from her daughter, my aunt, when I suffered the same. I glean so much information from my elders- you just cannot beat helpful hints from people who have lived longer than us and seem to know so much. I am glad it helped you!
Funny - my cat thinks hairball remedy is actually a
PS: Re: the puking - If your cat eats dry food, are you feeding a high-quality variety like Iams, Science Diet, or Royal Canin, and not the junk-food? (Meow-Mix, Deli-Cat, etc.) That stuff gave a former male cat ureteral calcium stones that ended up killing him. A couple weeks before he developed urinary blockage, he started barfing alot.
A trip to the vet for a blood test might be in order, too. But if it's hairballs, be sure to add lots and lots of combing-out (even for a short-hair, to get the undercoat) to the hairball remedy routine. :)
Get some B-stress vitamins, Bach Rescue Remedy spray (sm)
Valerian Root to help you sleep. If all else fails ask the doc for something temporary for stress. I have been so stressed out before I couldn't stand it. Best wishes to you! I hope things get better soon. Take a day off!! A mental health day! Be lazy, take a hot bath, take a long walk.
Mine love Hartz Hairball Remedy...salmon flavor
