  1. Good thing about the nails, toe nails are getting harder to cut as the years go by.
    Good facts.

  2. I have noticed that finger nails grow faster than toe nails. Good idea to write numbers on the egg in the order they were laid.

  5. Dearest Jo-Anne,
    Yep, the toenails take forever to grow out.
    My left foot looks still ugly after I fell down the stage (on top of a too narrow riser, doing steps to the music we sang!)...
    My Podologist said it would take another year.
    Wish they would grow as fast as the hands!!!
    But that too will once be looking better.
    Are you drinking enough plain water?
    When I have a headache (seldom I do the last decennia since I know I got kidney problems) I drink more water and lie down for half an hour and the headache is gone.
    Wish you well, feeling like a rag is no fun!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  6. Dear Jo-Anne, I just so enjoy reading your posting about facts and history and all that makes our world so interesting. I really enjoyed the postings you did a year of two ago about bugs and other creatures.

    The facts today just delighted me--especially the numbering of the eggs and learning about Wendy. Thanks so much. You must love to research. Peace.
