Truth or legend, you decide. But there’s a story in our neighborhood about a woman who finally had enough of a snooping neighbor. Whenever this snoop got inside your house, she’d ask to use the bathroom, peek inside the medicine cabinet, then make your prescriptions public. (You know the type.) For a little revenge, the fed-up woman loaded her medicine cabinet with marbles—exquisitely balanced—then invited the snoop for coffee. You can figure out the rest of the story….
Point is, you don’t have to grin and bear life’s annoyances. In fact, here are some clever ways to rid yourself of common pains in the butt.
Cold-callers. To put an end to telemarketers, call 888-382-1222. This is the number for the Do Not Call Registry (don’t worry, someone will answer), which is run by the Federal Trade Commission. Add your home and/or mobile number, and the calls should stop within a month. Charities and politicians are excluded, though.
Spam. Sign up for an e-mail account with Google. It’s called “gmail,” and it’s free. If you’re diligent about marking messages you don’t want by clicking “Report Spam,” it’ll gradually learn your preferences. (Or you can create your own spam filters.) It’ll even unsubscribe you from annoying cyber-merchant newsletters.
Hemorrhoids. Pregnant women are particularly prone to these because the uterus sits atop blood vessels that drain the hemorrhoidal veins. To ease this pressure and prevent swelling, lie on your left side for about 20 minutes every 4 to 6 hours. Also, don’t read baby books on the toilet. Spending too long there can damage nerves and pinch veins.
Bicycle saddles. Find a curb (although preferably not one in traffic) and sit down. Feel how your weight is supported by the two bony protrusions on your butt? Those are your sit bones. These—not the fleshy tissue in between—are what should be supporting you when pedaling a bicycle. Because women’s sit bones are generally farther apart than men’s, look for specially designed female saddles in bike shops. Oh, and make sure to wear padded bike shorts without underwear to further reduce chafing.
Intestinal viruses. When using public restrooms, get in the habit of standing up before you flush. Otherwise, a fine mist of bacteria-laden water will coat your undercarriage.
Clogged toilet. Plunger not working? Rub some Vaseline around the inside of its rim to increase suction.
Hotshot boss. Can’t stand yours? Call a headhunter—for her. Anonymously tell the recruiter how talented and ambitious she is and, who knows, maybe both of you will get better jobs…imagine that!









I
loved the marbles in the medicine cabinet ! What makes people so curious, not sure but if they would just ask instead of snooping, I could just tell them...NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS ! LOL Get a life people ! Would you want someone looking in your closets, cupards, etc? Probbily not . After all, curiousity killed the cat !
wish I could find a Headhunter to even want my supervisor ! It would have to be the Devil, cause no one else would for sure !
