Who knew?

Just thought I'd pass on some totally useless, yet amusing trivia about critters:
A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (O.M.G.!!!) A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. (Creepy. I'm still not over the pig.) The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off. (Honey, I'm home . What the...?) The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field. (30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?) The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?) Some lions mate over 50 times a day. (I still can't believe that pig ...quality over quantity.) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Something I always wanted to know.) Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Okay, so that would be a good thing.) A cat's urine glows under a black light. (I wonder how much the government paid to figure that out.) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.) Starfish have no brains. (They should run for the GOP). Polar bears are left-handed. (Talk about a southpaw.) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?) Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread these crazy facts. (and God love that pig) :-)

Breathe in.. Breathe out

Every once in a while I have one of those days when I just need to take a deep breath and RELAX.

The Organic Spa magazine, www.organicspamagazine.com, has a section called the meditation room.  You can select the type of pictures you want to view and add music to the slide show if you want.

Beautiful pictures, relaxing music..

Take a couple minutes for yourself and enjoy!

Confronting for healing

I was flipping though the channels tonight trying to find something to watch on TV and stopped at a show  on the new Oprah network called 'Confronting'

The premise of the show is for victim's families to confront the victim's killer in order to gain closure.

While this doesn't make me happy in the normal sense of the word, it did make me happy to see two families finding some peace after a tragic accident.

Keep Smiling

Pork Chops ??


In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet
tiger cubs. Unfortunately,due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs
were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after
birth

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to
decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt
that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a
depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another
mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news
was that there were no tiger cub s of the right age to introduce to the
mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never
been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will
take on the care of a different species. The only "orphans" that could be
found quickly, were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets
wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother
tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops??
Take a look...






Enjoy!

Your 3 words- GMA

As I was sitting on the couch this morning, sipping my coffee and trying to talk myself into that 'happy place' we all need to find some days in order to start getting ready for work, I saw this on Good Morning America.

Really cute.  Made me smile.


Enjoy!

What makes you happy?....

So... welcome to my blog. I'm new to this, but I figure how hard can it be, right?!

Anyway, after a really difficult day at work, I started thinking about how can I focus on things that make me happy..the little things. I mean, sure, I want to win a million dollars retire on an island, who doesn't.. but what are the little things that bring me joy?

So, I decided to post some things that make me happy. Stuff that makes me feel good or gives me a good chuckle.

Hopefully, it brings a smile to your face, too
