If you are a Snopes reader, you will know that so many myths simply aren’t true. I find it very interesting why we believe in things even when they are proven false.

Historical Truth: Women Were Hunters Also

Have you ever heard that at most times in history, women were the gatherers whilst men were the hunters?

Well, according to science.org, there is a pretty good chance that this isn’t true.

As in, not historically accurate.

Women were hunters as often as men were. And men were gatherers (of berries etc.) as much as women.

So, why the myth?

It almost certainly seems to have developed on our theory that fighting and killing are more of a masculine trait. So, hunting would also be seen as a masculine trait.

The information about hunter/gatherer societies mostly came from accounts written by 18th to 20th-century white Euro-American men who visited communities and followed the local men around, often paying less attention to whatever women were doing.

Surviving the Pharmacy Line: A Lesson in Patience

I consider myself a patient person. I mean, if I'm gunning to be the first to snag a new iPhone release, I'm ready to camp out for hours or even days!

But waiting at the pharmacy? That's a whole new level of crazy!

It's not about how many people are ahead of me. It's how long each person takes! Most are a quick in-and-out, but every so often, you get a person taking up a small eternity - we're talking 10, 20, or even 30 nail-biting minutes.

And if Lady Luck isn't on your side, every pharmacist is tied up with these 'eternity' customers.

Confession time:

There's a risk of sounding ageist here, but I'm taking the plunge...

...most of the time, these 'eternity' customers are the elderly.

Regardless of age, what sends me up the wall is the lengthy wait due to a single person, not their age, obviously.

But fear not! I have a strategy:

Rather than a quick fix, it's a change in mindset that keeps me sane. I think to myself that in a few years, that might be me at the front, hogging all the time with my complex medical needs.

When that day comes, I'll want nothing but the best advice from the pharmacist.

Even now, it matters to me that everyone, young or old, gets the right advice. Because, at the end of the day, that's what truly makes a difference in people's lives

What are your thoughts? Am I just a grouch, or is it a fair comment? Much appreciate it if you could reply to this email to let me know what you suggest or leave a comment.

Dispropotional Life Hack

(This is where we give you a tip that is easy to do yet will disproportionally improve your life.)

Secret Scent Booster: 

Want to fill your living space with a gentle, pleasant aroma without investing in pricey diffusers or constantly burning candles?

This hack will do the trick.

Spritz a bit of your favorite fragrance onto your light bulbs. Make sure the bulbs are off and cool to the touch. A gentle mist will do.

Now, the next time you flip the switch, the heat from the bulb will gently warm up the fragrance and disperse it into the room.

The result? A lovely, subtle scent that adds an extra layer of coziness to your place. It's like a secret weapon for when you want your home to smell inviting, whether you're just relaxing with a book or expecting guests.

Just remember to use this trick safely - always ensure the bulbs are completely cool before you spritz, and never spray directly into any electrical fittings.

Shower Thoughts About Cosmetic Surgery

1. In the age of social media, cosmetic surgery is kind of like a real-life Photoshop.

2. Cosmetic surgery has made the phrase "beauty is pain" quite literal.

3. If aliens observed us, they might think cosmetic surgery is a ritual of transformation into our species' ideal form.

4. As people increasingly get cosmetic surgery, the definition of "natural beauty" keeps shifting.
