Thorn in the Lion's Paw

It is amazing how much something so little can cause so much pain. A hang nail, a paper cut and the dreaded splinter. My husband got one and you would have thought he was losing a limb...slowly. After many poor attempts and a couple of days in misery, Oh! and his worry of possible infection, I took it upon myself to find a better way to dislodge the beast from within. Our last ditch effort and seemingly crazy internet tip? A paste of baking soda and water on the affected area with a band aid wrapped over it. John thought it was a nutty plan, but ten minutes later he was thanking me profusely. The remedy was like magic! So there you go. It is only a matter of time before this tip will come in "handy," for you as well.
