9 Things I Learned This Week-#76

Another Great Review For My Funny Dad, Harry

I found that Tim at Everyday Living read and wrote a nice review of my book on his blog. Be sure to head over there to read what he said about it at A Review of My Funny Dad, Harry. Thanks so much, Tim! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!

The Bachelorette's Blog

Gerard showed me Ali's blog on the people magazine site this week. She actually recaps the episode and shares some things we did not get to see and her thinking about the different guys. Plus, you can leave her a comment!

Dogs and Skunks

I learned from my free kibble trivia game this week that if your dog gets sprayed by a skunk, you should act quickly before the skunk oil dries (trim fur, shampoo...) is key. If not, you could have a smelly dog for months.

New Uplifting Channel

We discovered the GMC channel 328 on Direct TV this week. It has uplifting entertainment. We caught the end of what looked like a good movie, "Not My Son." Our favorite channels are Hallmark, Lifetime, Animal Planet, Turner Classic Movies, ESPN, NESN (sports network).

Toads

From Daisy The Curly Cat this week, I learned that some toads are poisonous and they eat worms. I always thought they just ate flies. I knew there are poisonous pretty little frogs and snakes but did not know about the toads.

Elephants Coming Back

According to the Cleveland PLAIN DEALER on Wednesday, The Cleveland Metropark Zoo is getting their three elephants back in May of 2011 from the Columbus zoo. The exhibit is going to be about four times bigger than the old one and there will be more than three elephants, including some male elephants (bulls), meerkats, African birds and rock pythons! We are looking forward to it!

Good News

Cat Rescued

At Sparkles blog today I saw that the nice friendly kitty whose time was about to run out in a Georgia high-kill shelter was rescued! YIPPEE!

Our Lawn Mower

Our lawn mower has been fixed and we get it back tomorrow! Gerard is very, very happy about that! He is tired of having to borrow from different neighbors all the time.

Test Results

Isn't it amazing how much doctors can find out just by testing a blood sample? Gerard learned he was "perfect" this week and I learned that I am NOT anemic--yay! I really didn't think I was because I feel I have plenty of stamina, but the doctor thought I looked pale. I told him it was because his office was like an ice box!
