For anyone who may have thought this post might have been about someone being naked, or caught in “a situation” – SORRY! Also, I just used Brad and Angelina’s names to get your attention! They aren’t mentioned in the post, so if it is only them you are looking for, best stop reading and move on…and have a great day!
This is a wholesome post with some old wives tales exposed, and other things too! By the way, if you question if I am an old wife, I’ve been married 30 years – does that count?
Enjoy.
A hearty breakfast of sausage (or bacon), eggs, and buttered toast will help your husband prepare for the day – whether is work is physical or mental or both!
A lie. That is probably what is clogging your husbands arteries and may, indeed, cause him a fatal heart attack in the future.

All millennials are not spoiled, self-fish, thoughtless and shallow brats.
A lie. There are many “quieter” millennials who have all the qualities of an adult child you would work and hope for in their futures. Once again the media has shed bias and light on those millennials who are not full of hope – but seem rather hopeless. Remember: there is always hope.

If you let a dog lick your wound, it will help to heal it because their saliva and tongue have healing properties.
Sorry, not true. There are no healing properties in letting the dog lick you – unless you like it and you feel deep down, it may help. What helps is the sedative like feeling you get when something loves you unconditionally, and would do anything for you…like lick a wound.

If you dump grease down the sink you should run hot water.
A lie. Run cold water so the grease will not clog the pipes. If you run hot water and fail to get all the grease down, when it cools – it clogs.

If you are a Christian you automatically forgive someone if they have done something terrible to a member of your family and/or friend.
A fallacy. Christians have the same protective nature all humans do….they are “supposed” to forgive – but often it takes a lengthy period of time to do so. Sometimes forgiving is impossible. That does not mean they aren’t Christians. It means they are human. God knows hearts.

If you are using a recipe that calls for buttermilk, and you don’t have any, you can use vinegar in the milk instead. Not a lot, 1/2 – 1 tablespoon.
True

If you are out of toothpaste you can brush your teeth with baking soda.
True. It works. Kind of tastes nasty but its better than hemorrhoid cream. DON’T ASK.

If you don’t have shampoo or are short on time, use corn starch to clean your hair.
True. Just drop pour on top, then bend down and pour more. In that position rub it through you hair as if it was water. Then shake it out and brush. (Of course be over something that catches the corn starch that falls…like a sink, outside, or standing on newspapers.

You can use make-up and vitamins longer than the label says you can.
True. When you think you are done with a product, open it and pour it into a container wherein you can still use it. When corporations tell you not to use it – that is a ploy so you will trash it and buy more. As far as vitamins – if they are hard pills they are fine. If they are fluid or in a capsule that melts in your mouth, test one. SMELL what is inside. Your nose will tell you what to do.

If you think you will have a wonderful day, barring a catastrophe, you will!
TRUE. The day is in your mind. No matter what happens to you, your response is 100% your choice. In hard times there are lessons to be learned. That does not mean you need to be miserable. As ye thinketh, so shall ye be….CREATE A WONDERFUL DAY! Love one another!
I THINK YOU CAN!
Relax, it's just Life!
