Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Monday Edition | PM

Good afternoon

Hello there, dearest members! We’re kicking off another marvellous Monday in our little corner of the internet, and I (Sethia) am absolutely thrilled to be here with you.

How are you? I spent the entire weekend out and about with my lovely nan, as she’s scheduled for a flight back to the US in a few hours. I’m not going to lie, I’m already tearing up just thinking about it! I may not be the little girl she used to take care of anymore, but nothing can make a grown woman cry more than thinking about when she can see her grandmother again, eh? So if your day has been a bit blue like mine—you’re not alone! And luckily, we’ve got a stellar lineup to look forward to this afternoon.

There’s a reason why there’s a short supply of mummies, and it’s much darker than you think. In the 16th and 17th centuries, mummies were a common ingredient in medicines, as they were believed to cure headaches, nose bleeds, and epilepsy. Thankfully, the medicine industry has changed since then!

WORD OF THE DAY

Panacea

A solution for all problems. For example, ‘This drug could be the panacea for various illnesses.’ Pronounced as PAN-UH-SEE-UH.

Quote of the day

'People see scars, and it is wounding they remember. To me, they are proof of the fact that there is healing.'

— Linda Hogan
