Has anyone ever tried this?

If you've ever had a squeaky door or a sticky lock, chances are you've used WD-40. But did you know that the product does more than just stop squeaks and free sticky mechanisms? Among other novel uses, WD-40 is great at cleaning barbecue grills. You just remove the grill, spray with WD-40, wait a few minutes, wipe clean, and wash with soap and water.

    I can't drink grapefruit juice, it interferes with the mood stabilizers. Straight up for me.

    You old folks should be drinking prune juice instead of grapefruit juice anyway.

    Is that true? What is it about grapefruit juice that affects the mood / drugs?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I was fluke fishing off the Jersey coast and while talking to a couple old timers they gave me a fluke fishing tip. They said to spray a little WD-40 on the bait before dropping the line/bait in the water. I didn't do it but those two guys caught a batch of fluke. However, my fishing partner won the pot by catching the largest fluke of the day.

    Good Idea. Here's one of mine, most people think I've lost it...but...when my grass gets a bit higher than it should because I've missed a cutting I take some WD-40 and spray the lawnmower blade and lightly spray the underside of the mower (gas push mower) with care not to get it where it should not be.

    The mower cuts through taller grass like Knife through soft butter! And very little grass can stick on it.

    The high acidity renders most of the active ingredients in SSRIs or benzodiazepine either too strong in the bodies system or cut the effect of the drug in the system. It has something to do with an enzyme that I think is affected in liver which either inhibits absorbance which can cause overdose or cause absorbance to occure to rabidly which would negate the effects of the drug. Mood stabilizing drugs aren't the only ones that can be affected by grapefruit juice. I believe there are heart medications that are affected too.

    I've been told you can spray it on your johnson and it has a lower drag coefficient than KY. A lot of folks switched to WD-40 when they found out Crisco was shortening. :eek:
