Bring home the home remedies.

So tonight I'm going to put mayonnaise in my hair and rub my shedding cat with a fabric softener sheet. I'm going to send the kids out with spray bottles filled with white vinegar and tell them to spray the sidewalk weeds. And the calendar that keeps falling off the wall because the nail hole is too loose will get a dose of toothpaste into the wall.

I've had it all over my walls -- a shot of WD40 breaks it up, then you can wash it off with soapy water. Any other home remedy-type tips, fixes and cures that anyone swears by? These fixes can prevent headaches. But if they don't, try rubbing a lime on your head instead of aspirin.
