The Postal Service Is About to Start Selling Scratch-and-Sniff Stamps
I’m not sure that THIS is the big idea that’s going to help the U.S. Postal Service start raking in cash again . . . but I guess it’s really all they’ve got.
The USPS just announced they’re going to put out their first line ever of SCRATCH-AND-SNIFF stamps on June 20th.
The 10 different stamps will all have pictures of popsicles and their scents, including things like fruits, chocolate, and root beer. And they’re “forever” stamps, so they should just be the same cost as other stamps.
Taking Your Shoes Off at Your Front Door Could Help You Lose Weight?
This sounds like nonsense, but apparently there’s some science behind it. According to a new study, taking your shoes off at your front door could help you lose WEIGHT. (???)
It has to do with tiny chemical particles we come in contact with every day that mess with our hormones and promote fat growth in our tissues.
They’re called “obesogens.” (Pronounced oh-BEASE-oh-gens). And they’re in everything from cleaning products and cosmetics, to processed food and even the DUST floating around your house. And THAT’S why taking your shoes off matters.
The study found taking them off at the front door can make a big difference in how many obesogens you’re exposed to, because you don’t track as many into the house.
It’s not clear how much weight you could lose. But some people think it could be one of the reasons we’ve collectively gotten bigger and bigger over the past few decades.
Other things you can do to reduce your exposure is to vacuum more often . . . avoid heating food up in plastic . . . use fewer synthetic cleaning products . . . and try to eat organic foods that haven’t been exposed to pesticides.
A Woman Got Away From the Cops, Bragged About It on Their Facebook Page . . . and Was Quickly Arrested
If you’re a minor criminal, there’s really NOTHING that’s more effective for getting the cops to hunt you down than this.
Last week, the cops in Moses Lake, Washington pulled over a 27-year-old guy named Giovanni Powell for driving with a suspended license.
A 19-year-old woman named Kayla Irizzary was in the car, and since she wasn’t breaking any laws, the cops let her go.
But then they searched the car, and they found her purse . . . which had her ID, a gun, and some heroin. She’s a convicted felon, so she can’t own a gun.
Meanwhile, when she got home, she hopped on the police department’s Facebook page and BRAGGED about how she got away from them. So, of course, they started focusing on finding her.
And on Saturday, they tracked her down and arrested her after a quick chase.
She’s facing charges for unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of heroin.
