"Thought For the Day"

[Arwen Mythweaver]

Yes, it’s true!
And I will helplessly continue to do it, much like those ear worms that you are forever putting into my brain.

[Pegasus Unbound]

Here is something to get you going on this bright Monday morning. "How smart is your right foot?"

This is hysterical. You have to try this.
It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things that the brain cannot handle.

1. While sitting in a chair, life your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so! And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done, you are going to try it again, if you have not already done so.

This is just so wrong in all the right ways!

OK, time for revenge challenge:

This does not matter if your right or left handed, the results will be the same.

To start, stand next to the wall with your shoulder almost touching it and your arm on that same shoulder hanging down at your side.
Now, scootch over a little so that your shoulder, arm, leg and foot on that same side are all against the wall.
Ready for the fun? Try to life the OTHER foot without falling over!

Hehehe! Have fun!

Hugs,

Oh dear. At least my test I could do "sitting down". I'll take your word on this one. With my luck, I would fall down and really get hurt.

Well, all I can say is "thank goodness it is the last day of the month".
You had me with "chocolate cake", but now "hot chocolate" too?

Here are some fun facts about hot chocolate:

- It is thought that hot chocolate may be healthy because it is full of antioxidants.
- Up until the late 1800s, doctors used hot chocolate as a medicine to treat some diseases.
- Many believe that the first hot chocolate drink was made by the Mayans about 2000 years ago.
- The drink was brought to the new world when it was brought up from Mexico.
- Italians drink a very thick hot chocolate called cioccolata densa.

So, now go and celebrate, and make a steaming cup of hot chocolate.
Don't forget to add some mini-marshmallows too!

For the first day in February, a reminder:

Winter reminds us that everyone and everything
needs some quiet time. ~Katrina Mayer

Not related to anything in particular --- this just made me smile.
But of course, Daniel Craig has a way of doing that for me.

Two fun facts: Daniel Craig is married to Rachel Weisz from "The Mummy" movies, and "Dream House", which also starred Daniel Craig.
And "Punxsutawney Phil has spoken: Six more weeks of winter await us."

Feb. 3, 1959 - The Day the Music Died.

Thank you @AluraMist, while I never forgot that beloved song or the events that gave birth to it...I did forget what specific day it happened. RIP to 3 of the greatest music legends and thank you Don for keeping their memory alive.

Oh wow. Thank you for this. I was born after the plane crash but of course listened to the song many times.
I never knew all the symbolism behind his words.
