“I put it on vinyl.” – Lauren Daigle

On a special Throwback edition of Who Knew Wednesday we talked about old music mediums, including cassette tapes, a-tracks, and even records. Inspired mainly by that quote from Lauren Daigle’s new song ‘Still Rolling Stones’ where she says, “I put it on vinyl.”

We also shared some more Who Knew Tips from the Who Knew Book.

Here’s the tips:

To help relieve the itching rash caused by poison ivy, soak the affected area in a strong salt bath. Make sure the water is warm to fully get the itch out.

Believe it or not, you can help relieve arthritis pain with oatmeal. Just mix 2 cups oatmeal with 1 cup water, warm the mixture in the microwave, and apply to the affected area.

Nothing’s worse than a bad bout of nausea. Try this simple trick to help relieve your discomfort: Drink a little ginger ale, then chew a handful of crushed ice, and finally sniff a piece of black-and-white newspaper. It may seem like an old wives’ tale, but it works!

Balloons and prizes…

Today we shared more about ‘Stay Safe with Big Blue’ for Who Knew Wednesday and how you can win some sweet prizes from WNZR! Read
more about it by clicking here.

We also shared more Natural Remedies and First Aid from the Who Knew book.

Here’s the tips:

You put a Band-Aid on your finger to cover up a scratch, but you still have to go through your day full of hand-washing, child-bathing, and dishes-doing. To keep the bandage dry while you work, cover it with a non-inflated balloon–any color will do!

To remove hard calluses from your feet, try this old-fashioned but effective remedy: Grind a few aspirin tablets into a paste with equal parts lemon juice and water. Apply it to the calluses, then wrap your feet in a hot towel, cover in plastic bags, and stay off your feet for 30 minutes. When you unwrap your feet, the calluses will be soft and ready to be filled off with a nail file or pumice stone.

Believe it or not, meat tenderizer works wonders on all sorts of stings–bee, wasp, even jellyfish. That’s because it contains papain, which helps break down the proteins in venom. Make a paste with the tenderizer by adding a few drops of water at a time, then rub on the affected area.

Thanks for listening!
