In this situation, it's safer to buy the thickeners in the drug aisle designed to help the elderly to stir into drinks. Then you won't be risking the effects of large amounts of sugar or milk product you'd get from condensed milk.

It's important to pay attention to liver diseases, diabetics....

Coca Cola syrup in its syrup form is used the same way, especially effective for battling morning sickness

Just a teaspoon of sugar makes the medicine go down.....🎶🎵🎶

Thank you for the advise!

My dad was in an auto shop once and nearly got kicked out with this tip. The auto shop was part of a chain and did a lot of their own brand products. They sold what they called "Sugar Soap" in little 5 ml bottles for €4.99. Total rip off. My dad saw a man going to buy some and told him "don't do that, all it is is liquid soap and sugar. And they are charging you a fiver for it. Go to the pound shop and by a 1 litre of cheap washing up liquid and a bag of sugar and keep them in your garage. When you need to wash your hands after working on your car put some of the washing up liquid onto your hands and mix in half a teaspoon of sugar and rub them into your hands and then wash it off. Your hands will be spotless. Works every time." The shop manager was standing behind his counter looking daggers at dad. The man dad was talking to put the little bottle of sugar soap back, thanked dad and left the shop. My dad always did hate to see anybody ripped off.

Use salt to get any smell of your hands (union, garlic...)

Toothpaste helps too

Salt/water slushie is also helpful when you accidentally superglue your fingers together. That was a fun day

I love the smell of gasoline! Spent countless hours in the garage with dad as a kid.

I hope baby is also with you at the restaurant. Otherwise, I guarantee that all the waitstaff are wondering about you. =)

I carry a coffee maker and a can opener.

You can use a fork for that...

She carries it all the time though? Just in case she goes to a restaurant? Thats just weird.

Versus carrying a small bottle of baby food around????

"Every tool is a hammer...except the screwdriver, that's a chisel."

Don't forget back scratcher!!

Aaand cleaning under my finger nails.

And a beer bottle opener.

Great for if you accidentally get the quick while trimming your pet's nails

Salt is too. Doesn't hurt like you'd think and really accelerates clotting.

I use corn starch instead of talcum powder. Just put some in a shaker dispenser and use as talcum powder during your post-shower routine.

If you hurt your mouth and it bleeds or even bite your tongue. A small spoonful of sugar stops the bleeding almost immediately

Our dog was having a zoomie up and down the hall and I noticed on the last trip (only because I stopped him) that he was leaving a blood spot with each footprint, looking closely we found he had ripped a claw down past the quick. Being a weekend we called the On Call vet, she told us to put a lot of corn starch on a cotton ball and tape it tightly to the foot. It worked.

Also, animals with big eyelashes look cuter and get adopted from the shelter more quickly.

Old toothbrushes are good for brushing small kittens. It's the same size and texture as their mother's tongue.

Is it just me who read lava and not larva at first?

I don't recall ever using this when I worked at a shelter. I wish we had though, it would have been much softer than flea combs.

Flea combs are much more effective
