Question of the Week
I only have 10 days until NaBloPoMo starts so I am working on several posts to get me started. The smart thing would be for me to start typing them up so I don't forget what I was planning to write like I normally do. I also have to work on a new post for my paying gig. I thought today would be a good day to utilize the blog prompts I stole from the NaBloPoMo website (which reminds me I need to run over there and steal some more.) I picked what I think is an interesting one today and I would love to hear from my readers the answer to the same question. So here is the question of the week:
Everyone has a trick they depend on, a shortcut for something like fixing a flat, curing a headache, making a kid stop crying, or choosing a cantaloupe. What's yours?
I can cure hiccups on everyone but myself (and I am still having a bit of difficulty with the 6 year old but I will get to that.) Now I am one of those people who will get hiccups several times over the course of several days. They drive me crazy. When I was a freshman in college, I got hiccups in the middle of my English class one day. My fabulous professor, Dr. Dan, turned to me and used a trick that still to this day works when you do it someone else as long as they are not a 6 year old with a short attention span. Tell the person with the hiccups to concentrate and let you know when they are going to hiccup again. Wait a couple of minutes and the hiccups are gone. I have done this to several people and it works every time. People are amazed. However, I cannot get it to work for myself I guess because I know the trick.
So there you have it...my little hat trick. Now it's your turn!

Second, my trick is also hiccups. . . all it is is a spoonful of sugar. Swallow as much of it as you can and it should relieve the hiccups. I've had to use 2 spoonfuls before, but it always works.. I've known people to have hiccups for DAYS and have tried everything, but then the sugar works. Sorry we have competing tricks!
I have tried the sugar for hiccups and it didn't work for me. I have tried just about every remedy out there and this one is the only one I have been able to get to work every time.
Congrats!!
