#wives tale

[asteroidgalore]

Pandora (55) is about all the gifts received from people. An old wives tale says you should never buy your own first tarot set because the first tarot set is probably the foundation of your evil.

alright, we all know the phrase “knock on wood,” yea? Well, at what point does wood stop being wood. Will knocking on wood work if there’s a thick paint layer between the wood and the knuckles. What if it’s some kind of mix of wood, like pykrete, paper, Ikea composite, cardboard, etc. Does sawdust count. What about leaves. Grass?  also can I use my toes to knock on wood or does it have to be with my hands. Do I even need to use any part of my body, or do I just need to create a knocking sound?

So I saw a bird fly into the side of my mom's car (he's okay he just bonked his head and flew away like a dumbass). I told her about it and she said:

"That's not a good sign. There's an old wives tale that says that's a sign of death"

My auto pilot response: I'll be alright, I don't have any wives.

Here’s a little tip for you...

KNOW YOUR REMEDIES FROM YOUR WIVES TALES!!!

You would not BELIEVE how many people can’t figure out basic health factors and I almost guarantee that nearly everyone reading this would’ve thought that a wives tale was an actual remedy.  For instance:

DO NOT PEE ON A JELLYFISH STING!!!

There’s a reason that pee is exiting your body as waste and it DOES NOT nullify any toxin whatsoever, in fact it’s bound to make the sting worse with an infection (assuming you survive).

IF YOU GET STUNG BY A BEE, WASP, ECT. COVER THE WOUND WITH TOBACCO!!!

unlike pee, tobacco does contain chemicals that are known to counteract and nullify toxins specifically of a bee or wasp genre (and maybe even other types of stings that I’m currently unaware of).  While tobacco for smoking or chewing is bad it is good for stings.

I can’t stress this enough...

DON’T BE AN IDIOT!  USE COMMON SENSE AND STAY SAFE!!!

because I care for you and you should care for you to. ♥-Ruckis
