Laughter is the
best medicine.
The things we say... Whoever said, "Out of sight, out of mind" never had a spider disappear in their bedroom.
Body of Knowledge
[Keep a barrier
For nail health, dermatologists’ #1 recommendation is to leave your cuticles alone. The cuticle is a natural barrier to fungus and bacteria. Once cuticles are breached, protection is lost.
[Stay strong
In a German study, people with severe nail problems took supplements of biotin (a member of the vitamin B family) for several months and 91% had significant improvement. One supplement that experts say won't work: Gelatin.
[Don't over-induldge
Studies show that those who suffer most from dry, brittle nails were those who regularly indulged in manicures and pedicures.
[Nail it
The American Academy of Dermatology advises that the condition of your nails can sometimes reflect health issues. Discolored, slowgrowing, or thickening nails could indicate things like liver issues, kidney or lung disease, diabetes, or anemia.
"I need to talk to you." That one sentence has the power to make you remember every bad thing you've done your whole life. I want my last words to be, "I have a million dollars hidden in the..." If you say "gullible" slowly it sounds like "oranges." Things people say: "It's Friday!" What home-workers say: "It's Friday?"
In the know
[Almost] worthless facts.
In quarantine it's really hard to end phone calls. Now when you say, "Okay, I have to run," they know you're lying.
Better perspective
Improve your way of thinking
In a crisis, sometimes you just have to find the funny. Here are some good attempts people have offered... For the first time in history, we can save the human race by lying in front of the TV doing nothing. Let's not screw this up! Eventually, everyone will be quarantined to their houses and in 9 months we'll have a baby boom, and we'll call them "Coronials." How I expected my apocalypse outfit to look:
The most-hated food worldwide is beets. The name for the shape of Pringles is called a ‘Hyperbolic Paraboloid’. Sliced bread became commercially available in the summer of 1928. Alligators and manatees co-exist amiably in Florida waters. Blue is the favored color choice for toothbrushes.
What it is:
Three dogs survived the sinking of the Titanic. People do not sneeze in their sleep because the area that signals that response shuts down. Your brain is about 60% fat. The American bison is the national animal of USA. In Scotland the national animal is a unicorn.
Day 1 of quarantine: "I'm going to take this as an opportunity to improve my health." Day 2 of quarantine: "Due to personal reasons, I am eating lasagna in my shower." Tip to help you stop eating during quarantine: Put on your swimsuit instead of your sweats. You're welcome.
