Each). Mix with water to make paste ...thin enough to spread. Use an old thin piece of cloth, spread mixture on, fold. Put "wet" side of clothing to chest. When it starts to "burn" time it for 15 minutes. Remove. Use on throat, chest and back between shoulder blades. Throw rag out when done. Cold cured.<br /><br />Equal parts flour and dried mustard is important. Too much mustard will cause blisters. (Or so I've been told).<br />Hootin Annihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811326085498312568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-58433642172390224732021-10-08T09:27:28.916-06:002021-10-08T09:27:28.916-06:00What a great makeover!!!

Back in the day we didn't have several shelves full of medication at the store like now, most of which don't really work all that well, or are harmful to you in other ways. Your witchy woman transformation is much nicer than the original. I like the fake hair you added, you are a very talented lady.

LOL. Even if you don't get any trick or treaters, you sure scared the bejeebers out of us old gals with that! LOL. Your apple stuff sounds really good. I would love to try it. And no, I really can't say that I have any home remedies. But I do put a dab of Vicks under my nose when I get a stuffy nose in the night. I put it on my throat/neck when I feel a sore throat or cough coming on. My Mother always used Vicks, and I think it is the best and cheapest way to drive away a cold or stuffy nose. When I was little my mother would put a spoonful of vicks in a pan of hot boiling water, and we would breathe the vapors, with a towel over our heads leaning over the pot. (after it boiled, not while it was boiling, but still hot so it would have steam) Yep, those were the good old days. I love visiting you. Thank you for being my friend.Pamela M.

I like to get the crinkle ribbon so I can curl it and make fancy curly "pom pom" type bows on presents. Crinkle ribbon is the right price at the dollar store. Yep, Vicks has been on my cold remedy list - it all started with my parents. P&G owns it now which is good for me, too.
