Interesting facts!
ReplyDeleteSo if I stay in bed for 30 days I'll be 7 feet 3 inches tall, right?
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Backrub; the same applies to the other known facts, and security codes mentioned in your post.
ReplyDeleteSo, thanks for enlightening me on that.
May the upcoming New Year be one of health, success and prosperity for you!
Hi Dellgirl interesting post,wishing you a happy and safe New Year my friend xx
ReplyDeleteI did know that about being taller in the morning. I also remember a doctor coming to my class and telling my first graders that they grow while they are sleeping. I’ll guess Eagle for Obama. I miss him. I really miss him. Thank you for stopping by and checking on me Leona. I’ve just been up to my ears with so much because we’ve been in Maryland and Illinois for over half this month. Happy New Year!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Obama chose his name? I can see why he picked it.f
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about backrub. Monopoly was and is my favorite game. Have a very Happy New Year and all the best to you and yours in 2020!
ReplyDeleteOK, I went with the obvious and picked Eagle. We got back not long ago from seeing our new grandson. Charlie was just a week old. I'm sure you can understand my wife's joy when she got to hold him. So precious they are.
