The average airspeed of the common housefly is 4 1/2 mph.
No wonder I can't kill the damn things!!
Honeybees have hair on their eyes.
So if you find hair in your honey don't blame the manufacturer.
Mosquitoes prefer children to adults, and blondes to brunettes.
Umm I don't think the Nova Scotia mosquitoes know that. ijs.
In 1972, a group of scientists reported that you could cure the common cold by freezing the big toe.
Someone try this and let me know if it works, mkay?!
Men have more blood than women. Men have 1.5 gallons for men versus 0.875 gallons for women.
OK this one pissed me off! If men have more blood then how come we have the periods?
In 1977, a 13 year old child found a tooth growing out of his left foot.
Maybe he put his foot in his mouth one too many times!
The average Human bladder can hold 13 ounces of liquid.
Oh no it can't!!!
The female lion does ninety percent of the hunting.
Even in the wild females do most of the work!
The duckbill platypus can store as many as six hundred worms in the pouches of its cheeks.
Bet you can't do that DeeDee!!
In South Africa, termites are often roasted and eaten by the handful, like pretzels or popcorn.
Hey Dianne and Bebbi try this the next time you go to the movies! Yum!!
Pigturducken is a pig, stuffed with a turkey, which is stuffed with a chicken, deep fried in oil, which is usually put into something similar to a horse trough over propane burners.
Birdee and Mo watch your backs!
In Bavaria, beer isn't considered an alcoholic drink but rather a staple food.
Bear or Jodi are either of you from there?
The world's largest coffee pot is located in Davidson, Saskatchewan. It measures 24 Feet(7.3 Meters) tall, is made of sheet metal and could hold 150,000 8 ounce cups of coffee.

BAMM!!
Thats very interesting Shirley....but you have made a mistake...I don't have cheek pouches....if I ever had them they are gone. I think they went with the initial face-lift....and now that when I pee I have to wipe my ears...I am sure they are gone...
I have eaten roasted termites and believe it or not....they are very good. As I have traveled I have always been the first to step up to try new things.....and its not always as easy as the termites were because as they are being roasted the process release a very savory scent.....and they actually have more protein than beef.
Of course I wouldn't eat any unusual things anymore....thats stuff you do when you are younger and still drinking liquor....lol
I enjoy your blogs so much Shirley that I am NOT going to constipate your voodoo doll.....pretty high praise don'tcha think??
Mornin' beautiful DeeDee! I am having visuals of you that I don't need so early in the morning!!
I am terrible at trying new foods. Termites are certainly not high on my "try it list" !
Shirley, I think my puppy is related to the housefly! I catch her chewing on something bad, and all I see is a blurry fur ball!
K, I am off to my sisters. She had toe surgery yesterdayand asked me to bring homemade chicken noodle soup. I "crocked" it all night so it should be good to go.
Have a super day everyone!!
Shirley: Those were funny but the comments with each one REALLY cracked me up..lol Thanks! :)
I went to the dentist, it was a piece of a filling that came out and they fixed it..yay!
DeeDee: I dreamed I met you last night and you were a man!
Of course, DeeDee, you are most beautiful today..man, woman, whatever! haha. :)
Mary: Good morning! Miss you..what's your workout plan today? Mine was screwed because of the dental appointment so I have to do it tonight after work. Uggh.
Morning Glories!
BAM Deedee you are on a roll!
Shirley I am moving to Saskatchewan! imjs
Female Lions doing most of work. Sound about right. Seems to be a mammal thing.
You know the termites thing sounds like a good snack for camping!!!
Carol thinking about you today. Sending virtual (((Hugs)))
Waving at Mary! Have a great day.
Deedee never had a face lift but wondering if my bladder has gotten so small that the pee is now resting in my ears. They keep telling me it is hay fever, but you never know.
Bebbi glad it was just a filling. I have to assume you did not go to Dianne's dentist. :)
Morning everyone...DeeDee, Mary, Bebbi and Lynn D!
Carol I'm thinking about you today and sending many ((HUGS)) you way. Wish I could deliver them in person.
Thanks DeeDee, but did you happen to go the other way with my voodoo doll? ijs.
Today is my sister's 37th birthday so I'm off to the store to get stuff for spaghetti and meatballs, then I'm off to mum's to make it. Have a great day Owls.
Thanks Tina for posting my blog. Did you get the other 2 I sent you?
SHIRLEY: I simply love your bogs. Your wit is so darn funny. I nominate SHIRLEY to write all the blogs...do I hear a second to that motion?
I think I will pass on the termites for my food of choice for the movie but maybe I could pass them off on my grandkids and save some $$.
CAROL: My thoughts are with you today and tomorrow (well always) but extra these two days.
LYNN AND BEBBI: You are right .....BEBBI did not go to my account errrr dentist or this would have hapened: You would have gotten a root canal that didn't work in a few days, had the root canal taken out and then a few more days have the tooth pulled and a bridge put in....well, maybe one more root canal and then owe two dentists $4000. ........glad it was just a filling!
MARY: I am having foot surgery so will you make me some chicken soup? I think I will need some of your homemade pizza and mexican food too as my recovery is long and MRD only cooks brats. That is a lot of brats for 6-8 weeks.....HELP!!!!
DEEDEE: You are again so beautiful. You and TINA are mostly sharing the beauty in the mornings. It is almost like a beauty pagent with one of you being the winner and the other runner up in case the first person can't fulfill their duty....hmmm....wonder which one it is the final winner?
PS SHIRLEY, would you please get first tomorrow as I like to see that bright sunshine when I log on...Thank you.
oh Bebbi...you are so funny...hahaha.....
Bite Me!!
DeeDee You are beautiful this morning. At least you no longer have to have tampons sticking in your ears. LOL
Mary If you happen to have any of that chicken soup left over, maybe you could send some my way. There's nothing wrong with me, I just happen to like it.
Bebbi Yay for the easy fix to your dental problem! I'm glad your tooth wasn't chipped.
LynnD Hmmm, one more reason for me to not want to go camping.
Dianne I like that beauty pageant comparison. Do you think there's some nude photos of DeeDee or Tina that we could dig up?
Shirley Thank you for the smiles this morning. Your comments were hilarious!
SHIRLEY - I'm mostly Norwegian, but now that Inge has adopted me....I think that counts!!!
DEE DEE - Congrats on first...love your pic!! It actually kinda looks like me in Chicago on Saturday night when I was having one of my laughing fits!! Just ask TINA!!
MARY - Your soup sounds delish!! Isn't crocking the best?!!? Enjoy your visit with your sister!!
BEBBI - Glad your tooth was an easy fix!!
LYNN - Good grief....your poor bladder!! Feel better soon ♥
DIANNE - I second your motion!! I wish I was closer....I'd sooooo cook for you!!
SLIN.....waving at you!!
Happy Thursday Owls.
Shirley, Your comments to the useless facts are hilarious. Thanks for the laughs this morning.
I got up late and I have an appointment so I need to rush. Have a great day everyone. BBL
CAROL - Thinking of you today. Do you feel that? It's me giving you a hug :O)
BARB - We were typing at the same time....smiling a big toothy grin at you!!
Carol, I'm thinking about you today and sending up prayers for strength for you today. I know how difficult this day will be for you. I wish I could be there to hold your hand and give you a big hug. ♥ U

Sackie~ Has son heard anything yet?
Hello to Lynndie, Di, J/L, and Jodi~
Well I just love useless facts. I don't know about that bladder one, though. I could swear I've peed a gallon or more during emergencies.
When Ihave to submit those urine samples, I try to be dainty and just dribble a teeny amount. Then I create my own tsunami in the toilet.
SHIRLEY...those are GREAT! And I liked the little comments you added! Nice touch!
Off to read the comments!
DIANNE...I second your motion!!
CAROL..extra special thoughts going your way and a ginormous hug (after I push everyone else outta the way!) {{{HUGS}}}
DEE DEE...even during the drinking days I wouldn't eat termnites...EWWWWWWW. You are a much stronger woman then I!!
BEBBI... glad it was a quick and easy fix at the dentist.
MARY...I hope your sis is doing ok. {{HUGS}}

CAROL...sooooo nice to see you. How are you doing?
Hi Everyone..
I felt the hugs all the way in NJ.. Thank You..
The wake went very well.. his nephews did a great job.. many ppl showed up to pay their respects, including clients of mine.. it was so heartwarming.. His ashes were in a urn in a red velvet covering.. they had pictures of him on display.. again it was heartwarming...
I lost it a couple of times.. but otherwise was ok.. Tomorrow is the church service.. I am sure it will be beautiful..
One more day.. and then perhaps, I can start moving on..
Hi Mo..
I am ok.. I have my moments.. I am sure with time, the grieving will ease..
CAROL...take all the moments you need. Grieving has it's own plan and time frame. We will all be here for you whenever you need us.
okay....time's up~ :)~
TINA...r hubby and #1 son back from Mexico?

Ok, so now I have a complex and feel stupid. I think it's time to pak it in and look forward to a new day tomorrow
Mo I don't think you're stupid. A little intellectually challenged at times but that's all.
((HUGS))
Carol I'm glad you are doing ok. Grieving sometimes doesn't want you to move forward even when you think you are ready. Take care. Here are a few more (((HUGS)))
Thanks everyone for your comments today. I'm glad you liked my blog and my little editorials.
