Kooky is right! Interesting though, especially the hair parting one. I change my part depending on which side looks best so I guess I can keep eating meat. ;)
What amzing facts Margaret, some seem unblieveable but because of that fact they must be true.
Thanks for sharing , a real eye opener.
Have a great week-end.
Yvonne.
That was a fun post. and I agree with Dr. Seuss, I like nonsense it wakes up the brain cells. About the hair parting fact, I wonder where I fit in. I don't have a part.
ha ha yes I agree with you :)
But I loved the one on spam mail, hope its true:)
Dear Margaret ~~ Thank you so much for your comments and well wishes for me. I hated not having the internet for a whole week. The
storm took us by surprise, and came and went so quickly. And the
phone going off for 2 days, and the internet another week, so I was about to climb the walls. I liked your fun sayings. I asked
Peter to put a post on for me, so no one would worry..
Take good care my friend,
Love, Merle.
I need to watch an hour long soap opera.Amazingly i am a vegetarian who always parts her hair on the left...wow !! Have a happy weekend !
Hi Margaret, I can't imagine burning calories while watching a soap opera! I'll never look at silly putty the same again. I tagged you for a good cause on my blog if you wish to participate. Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing about silly putty as Judy.
I LOVE the one about peas exploding - I hate peas!!
I wish I could mess up the spammers as much as they mess up us!
I also part my hair whichever way IT decides to go because of the curls that day.
Thanks for the fun post. Have a terrific weekend.
Hi again Margaret ~~ Thanks you for your comment on my latest post
and for your e mails. I will be glad to find out tomorrow what the
CT scan showed, and where we go from there, He talked of a lung
specialist. Glad you liked the name Summer - they won't be able
to shorten that. Tabatha is Taba
and Gabrielle is Gabby.
Glad you liked thejokes my friend
Love, Merle.
I don't think I'll try flying upside down in a 747 (how can they know that??).
As for the dog's naked behind...I'll just have to take their word for it.
I love quirky pieces of useless information like that, Margaret. Thanks for those.
Hi Margaret:)
Very interesting facts. Some of them are unbelievable but seem to be true. It is good to know these things.
But there is no answer to my problem:) I don't part my hair at all. I just comb backwards. Then what about me? Perhaps the answer is I am both a vegetarian and a non vegetarian. Yes, I found out the answer. I eat vegetarian and non vegetarian foods:)
Have a nice day Margaret:)
Joseph
