Knew the ferret and rat ones, didn't know the rest. Love useless trivia facts. Well done.

Sorry, no time for meaningless crap today--or even tomorrow I suspect. H has be doing edits on Love Never-Ending. Mucho changes. Sigh. Talk to you in a week or two.

A twerp hm. Good to know for next time someone calls me that. Of course they won't have any idea what I'm on about and will once again conclude I've lost my mind but that way they don't need to find something new to talk about. Sorry, mind really seems to be lost...no meaningless crap to add today.

Words of wisdom from my grandma:
If your nose itches...company's coming. If your right ear itches someones talking about you. If your left ear itches they're talking and it's not good. Foot itches? You're taking a trip. Palm itches? You're getting money.

How's that? I'm sure I can think of some more tomorrow if you need some.

By the way..this isn't exactly trivia but superstition and old wives tales. LOL
