If You Notice A Black Line On Your Nail Or Someone Else’s It Means THIS
Hands are possibly the most used human body part of all and because of that they often end up taking quite a beating. Day after day we wash them over and over, sometimes things get smashed into them, and other times we jam them into places like doors and tight cracks!
This inevitably leads to other parts of our hands sustaining damage, especially our nails. When our finger nails sustain trauma they usually turn black or blue from bruising or blood trapped under the nail. However, if you notice a dark spot on your nail, that suddenly appears out of no where and for no apparent reason, you should get it checked out immediately because it may be skin cancer.
That was the case when Melanie Williams went to the doctor to have an odd black spot on her thumb examined. She initially brushed it off as a wart or possible fungal infection but decided to have it looked at just to be safe. About two weeks after it first appeared she went to her doctor, and it’s a good thing she did.
It turned out to be nail cancer, or more specifically melanoma which is a type of skin cancer, and it had to be removed as soon as possible to prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of her body. She ended up having surgery and lost half of her thumb, but she was lucky that she caught it in time before it got much worse. She shared her story with the world in order to bring increased attention to the subject that not many people are aware of.
There are several things you can look out for, but if you ever suspect you may have nail cancer it’s crucial that you have a doctor check it out right away. Generally speaking, the most commonly affected nails are the thumb and index finger on hands and the big toe on feet. It was also noted in the video that nail cancer is most prevalent in African Americans.
The warning signs to look for include whether or not the stripe is very dark and if it has blurred borders. Also, changes in the appearance of the stripe matter and the patient’s history always comes into play, especially if cancer runs in the family.
When it comes to treating nail cancer, the stage it has reached matters most in determining how much skin, nail, or finger needs to be removed. For less advanced types the skin and nail around the spot is removed, while more advanced cancers often require the complete surgical amputation of fingers.
While most dark spots and stripes on nails are not cancer, it’s always good to be aware of the possibility that one strange, bothersome spot could potentially turn out to be just that. As with other types of cancer, the sooner it’s detected the better the chances for beating and being cured of it. Please pass this information on to friends and share it with family to help spread nail cancer awareness.

If You Spot a Plastic Bag With Water Inside Above Somebody’s Door It Means THIS
Now that the warm, beautiful weather is finally upon us, many of the annoying bugs and insects are coming out of the woodwork in droves. Summer season is bug season and that means mosquitoes, gnats, flies, ants, wasps, and thousands of other different types of bugs are active. They can quickly ruin a fun outdoor picnic or turn a BBQ into a disaster by swarming and biting guests, getting into the food, and just making life miserable in general!
Many people turn to insect repellents, bug zappers, and fly swatters but all of these devices have a very limited effect. Lots of bugs manage to fly right by and avoid them all together. However, there is an alternative way to get rid of pesky unwanted insects that’s much more simple and affordable than any of the aforementioned tactics.
The following method that’s covered in this video offers you a completely safe and environmentally friendly way to create a no-fly, bug free zone in a matter of seconds. All that it requires is the following items :
1 clear plastic sandwich bag
a few shiny pennies
2.5 cups of water
1 teaspoon of table salt
2-4 squirts of lime juice
Start by mixing together the water, salt, and lime juice in a bowl. Take the plastic sandwich bag and fill it three quarters of the way with this solution before dropping in a few pennies. Seal the bag up securely and hang it near wherever you plan on spending time.
You can nail the bag to a fence, pin it up in the doorway, hang it from a tree, basically whatever you do will work fine so long as the baggy is elevated and able to catch the light. Also, the lime juice and salt are there to ensure that the pennies stay extra shiny, so if you don’t have any on hand you can skip them but make sure you use the shiniest pennies you can find!
This simple bug deterrent has been used for years by people who know about it because it works really well. The strung up pennies submerged in water actively reflect light which creates prisms in the air that flicker and move all about. While people are unable to see these prisms, flies and other bugs can see them and steer clear of the light. It’s believed that the reflected light scares them off by making it hard for them to focus.
They’re also tricked into thinking that there’s water in the air and thus avoid the area around the bag to keep from getting wet and going blind. In addition to pennies in a bag, old CDs hung from a tree also work just as well since they too reflect light.
One last thing worth mentioning is always remember to take down the plastic bags and dispose them properly when you’re all done using them. You don’t want to litter and the bags can be dangerous, even fatal, to animals who come across them and mistakenly ingest them thinking that they’re food…
In the end, the plastic bag and pennies work to effectively create an invisible barrier that no flying insects are willing to cross. Try it the next time you have a BBQ or party outside and feel free to share this helpful tip and pass it along!

If You Ever Spot Coins On Somebody’s Gravestone It Means THIS
Image via: facebook.com/DaveMalenfant
The national and state veterans cemeteries that dot America are special, sacred places. Burial there is reserved for the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives while serving in the military. If you’ve ever visited one of these veterans cemeteries before then you may have noticed coins left atop the stone markers, and if you are not in the military then you likely wondered what it all means.
Coins that have been left on or around gravestones indicate that someone stopped by to visit and pay their respects to the deceased buried there. Pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are each representative of different meanings. Depending on the denomination, the presence of each type of coin sends its own distinct message, but they all tell the soldier’s family and loved ones that someone stopped by.
Leaving a penny atop a grave means that someone visited to pay their respect, while nickels are left to signify the visitor trained at boot camp with the deceased. Leaving a dime at a grave means the visitor served with them at some point or in some capacity. A quarter left on a stone marker is symbolic of the fact that whoever left it was with the soldier when they were killed.
While the practice of leaving coins on military graves dates back to the Roman Empire, it’s a relatively recent occurrence here in America. It began in the mid 1960s when people started leaving coins at cemeteries during the Vietnam war as a way to show that they had visited a soldier’s grave.
At that time the country was torn and divided by the hugely unpopular war. Rather than contacting a soldier’s family directly, and risking either upsetting or getting into an argument with them, visitors chose to simply leave coins to communicate the fact they’d been there.
The tradition has been carried on over the years and it’s proven to be beneficial for everyone. At national and state veteran cemeteries the coins are collected annually and the money is used to pay for the upkeep and maintenance of the grounds.
Some of it goes toward paying and covering the burial costs of indigent veterans. Visitors are able to pay their respect and let the deceased’s family know that they stopped by. Memories are shared, healing occurs, and people feel better about the past. All of this is possible with the simple act of marking your remembrance with a coin, and that’s beautiful.

Bring Your Palms Into This Position If These 2 Lines Touch It Means THIS!
Have you ever wondered what the future may hold in store for you? The answer may be right in the palm of your hand- literally..
For the past several thousand years the art of palmistry has been used to both interpret and predict the fortunes, futures, and fates of people all over the world. The practice is rooted in Hindu astrology where it originated, and involves reading the many different lines and features on the palms of our hands.
You can learn many interesting things about your love life and relationships, even the time frame for when you can expect to get married. Two lines in particular are linked to love and marriage and in the accompanying video psychologist and therapist Ellen Goldberg goes over everything you need to know about them. One line is found on the Mount of Venus which is located right below the thumb, near the base of the hand.
The second line is found under the pinkie, on the Mount of Mercury, and is also known as the lines of affection. To determine exactly where they are refer to the video and keep in mind that each hand needs to be consulted. Look at your dominant hand to see your past and what the future holds, and refer to your passive hand when it comes to matters of personality, character traits, and other similar types of attributes.
Even though palmistry has endured throughout the ages, and even thrived at different times in history, today most people view it as pseudo-science and quickly dismiss it as superstitious beliefs. Part of this skepticism stems from the fact that people don’t truly understand it.
Instead, they only know what they see in the media where it has been wrongly portrayed in the countless books, movies, and TV shows that touch upon it. So take a moment to enlighten yourself and really learn more about it here and now because it’s fascinating to know that there are hints buried in the palms of your hands which can reveal hidden truths about what your future holds.
Read your own palms here and now, without going to a palm reader, by simply following along with the video and see what your lines reveal. Share this with friends and family, then try reading their palm lines. It’s really fun and you may just learn something about them.

Rude Crowd Disrespects THIS Tomb. How The Guard Reacts To Them Is EPIC
There is something really awe-inspiring about viewing the changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, VA. Â It takes place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is commemorated to the men and women who gave their lives for the United States, and died without their remains being identified.
The changing of the guard is an austerely choreographed series of steps and movements that include the juxtaposition of the soldier’s rifle.  The actions of the soldier alternate between sharp sounds and silence.  The silence is both an act of respect for the fallen soldiers, and required for the majesty of the movements.
After each change is finished, the ceremony goes on, alternating between regimented walking and stillness. Â Salutation of the tomb occurs before the soldiers fall into step, after replacing the sentinel who finishes his duty. Â This exchange goes on throughout the day, as the monument is always guarded.
Being a guard is taken quite seriously by those who are honored to do the job.  They expect silence by visitors who come to watch the ceremony.  On the particular day, that you are about to watch on the video below, the visitors did not follow the required rules of silence.  Watch what happens as they rudely disregard the seriousness of viewing this cemetery.  They clearly get the message from the guard, who is astounded by the lack of respect.  Let us know what you think about this most unexpected moment.
