I believe..I BELIEVE..I BELIEVE!! (sounds like I'm at a gospel revival!!)
I learned a few things today that I didn't know. I can always count of you to enlighten me with knowledge. :)
I am number 6! I feel very special! These are great! Thanks for sharing.
Green coke??? I might like that better.
So, I should wake up in the morning and have a hot cup of applesauce?? nahhhh...that won't be good with my hazelnut creamer.
I think my knee caps think I am a baby. ouch.
I had heard about the apple waking you up better than coffee, but usually go for the coffee...
You had a lot of interesting facts!
Uuuh... these are funny, but I'd not take them as facts. For instance, MJ's estate does not own the SC state anthem "South Carolina On My Mind"; it does own the rights to a lot of the Beatles songs, perhaps including "South Carolina In My Mind". :-)
Thanks for sharing these fun facts! I have heard of some of them, but fun to learn more. (And haha...yes, I did scroll back up to read about sneezing! haha) You are toooo funny!!!
Blessings & Aloha!
