Indestructible Creatures Flatworms

Have you heard of a Flatworm?

They range in size from a grain of rice to a foot long, damn that would be a long ass worm. They are leaf-shaped creatures that usually live in water, many of them have an incredible ability to regenerate or regrow their body parts.

Now if these worms are chopped in half each half will become a whole new worm. In experiments scientists have even cut a flatworm into a hundred tiny parts and every part grew into a new worm.

Technical stuff The flatworms, flat worms, Platyhelminthes, Plathelminthes, or platyhelminths are a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates

In other family news I have Leo here all day as he sill feels sick but I can tell he is improving, I took him to a doctor this morning who said it is just a bug and he should be ok tomorrow. His mother has been feeling unwell today herself. Also Blain is off school with the same thing. I hope I don't end up with it.

Hello everyone, if any of my readers are in the area of America that have been affected by storms and flooding, I truly hope you are well and safe.

Here in my area it has been cool and overcast we had some rain this morning but not much.

Little Leo had the day off school he wasn't well last night and today as well.

I went to my aqua class and then to see podiatrist to have my toenails cut and my diabetic foot check, all is good.

Last Friday night after not being able to get hold of her brother my mum at last received a phone call from him, he is in the Philippines till the end of the month.

Anyway here are this weeks did you know facts.....................

Swedish people are the biggest users of tomato sauce/ketchup in the world

Candles burn more slowly and evenly with minimum wax drippings if they are placed in the freezer for an hour before using them.

More than a third of all adults are believed to hit the “snooze” button every morning, on average three times before getting up.............NOT ME

Bug zappers as in the high voltage cages that attract insects to an ultraviolet light, then kill them by electrocution increase the likelihood that you will be bitten by mosquitoes, as the ratio of attraction to kills isn't great.

Skateboards were invented in 1963, however, inline skates also called rollerblades have been around since the 1930's

Five things Friday No:4

It's Friday and so I am doing five things Friday, the day didn't start out too good as I over slept then when I was dropping Leo off at school I misjudged and side swiped the gate and got green paint on the car.

I sent Tim a text and he went on about complaining to the school because I told him the gate moved and that was why I hit the gate but I don't know how much it moved it did move a bit but not a lot.

So this weeks five things are:

Green paint

Car polish

Lost brooch

A new top

Red hair dye (for Leo)

A sore foot on Photo Wednesday

Hi everyone after a couple of cool wet days it has been dry and hot again, had to turn the air con on again this afternoon, went to my aqua class this morning and I have no idea what I did but I some how hurt my left foot, the top of the foot is hurting a lot.

This morning while working out I noticed the leg of my swimsuit was loose like the elastic has snapped, so on Friday I will have a look for a new swimsuit. I still have the gift card my sister gave me for Christmas, so I will use that.

On Monday I noticed that my Uncle has put his house (my late grandparents house) on the market, this is the house my grandfather built and many people in the family are upset about him selling it but there is nothing we can do about that.

A because it is Wednesday I will leave you with this photo

Castor oil is used as a lubricant in jet planes

Conflict

Are you more likely to avoid conflict or engage it head-on?

When it comes to disagreements with others what do you do are you one to stand your ground or do you try to avoid the conflict.

Are you someone who speaks their mind even if it will course an argument or are you more likely to say little or nothing but do whatever you want anyway. Maybe you are someone who smiles and nods while thinking things like “you're an idiot” or “just shut up you fool”.

I am one who tries to avoid an argument, I don't do conflicts very well I get confused and my heart pounds and I just want things to settle down. I have never in my life been in physical conflict aka fight, that is just not me.

Although I have two sisters who will go all badass on you if you start in on her or any member of her family they never back down and will stand their ground. This they get from our dad, who if he felt he was in the right would stand his ground and not back down and dad is only 5'2”.

This and That

Good morning everyone, didn't get around to doing a post yesterday, it was a somewhat busy day.

Had to take Leo to see his paediatrician and then dropped him at school by that time it was after midday but he really wanted to go to school. Jessica said why do we need to have him there he is weighed and height check and blood pressure checked and then he isn't needed and we talk about him while he sits bored.

Anyway at 2pm Jessica rings me I had to go and get him because he was upset and crying, turned out they forgot to give him his midday medication. They gave it to him just before I picked him up so after about 20 minutes he was ok, I brought him back here till his mum picked him up at 4.30pm.

He was dropped off this morning at 6am as per usual, he should be staying tonight here so we both get a bit of a sleep in tomorrow morning. It is pissing down rain as I write this how lovely, hope it settles down by the time Tim needs to ride his motorbike to work this afternoon, I worry about him riding his motorbike in bad weather.

Here there is still a lot of carry on about our Deputy Prime Minister and his affair and new relationship with a former staffer and I am so over hearing about, ok his marriage has broken up and he has a new pregnant girlfriend. Did this relationship stop him doing his job NO what has interfered with his job is all the media carry on since the news of the relationship broke.

Just saw an add on telly for some kinda “pickup” this has annoyed me as here down under we do not have “pickups” we have “utes”a “pickup” is what the Americans have, just saying.

Also heard that Camilla will be joining Charles on his trip to Australian for only 2 days because she has trouble with long trips, hell who flies from the UK to Australia for only 2 days. Also not like the woman is going to be flying economy she will be able to have a nice sleep on the flight.

The Winter Olympics are on but I am not interested at all, I have every little interest in sport, but that is ok man people love sport and the Olympics.
