Smart Cookie Award


   I was recently included as a recipient of the “Smart Cookie” award!  I would like to thank Paula Martin for her kindness for including me as one of many smart cookies who belong to the Writer’s Post group on Face Book.   The rules included with the award are precise. 


1. I must thank and provide a link to the persona who awarded me.  Check, did that above.
2.  Share 4 interesting or little known facts about anything.
3.  Pass on the award to other “smart cookies”.


    Thanks to a cool little website I was able to find some interesting facts that I didn’t know but found kind of amusing and simply had to share.  If you want to check out more freaky facts follow my link above.


1.  Turtles can breathe through their butts.  This little fact makes you think twice about trying to perform CPR on a turtle doesn’t it?
Ok, I will quit laughing long enough to share more!








2. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 short months 2 rats could very possibly have over a million descendents. They actually have $ex 20 times a day!  Talk about screwing yourself out of a seat at the table!  It seriously must be all rats do.  What really bothers me about this little fact is why G0d allows this business to go on?? It is not like rats are all cute and cuddly! I guess I just don’t get the “why” behind rats!  It reminds me of my favorite scene in Disney’s Ratatouille where that crazy old lady starts blasting her ceiling with a shot gun and the whole thing falls to the floor with a zillion rats on it.  I would be running out the door and down the street screaming if I were her.  Instead she chooses to attempt to blow them away with her gun destroying her house in the process.




3. Cat pee glows under a black light.  Seriously, who here is going to get a black light and follow your cat around until it pees to see if it glows in the dark??  Someone must have though or how would they KNOW this little tidbit?  It is just too funny for words!  I wonder if it gives up enough light to read by. 




4. Did you realize $ex is in biochemical terms no different than eating extremely large quantities of chocolate??  Does this mean when a person isn’t in the mood you can simply feed a sinfully large amount of chocolate to your significant other without enduring the sweaty mess?  It certainly explains why folks are so hooked on chocolate and swear it is positively sinful!  A person could completely bypass all the red tape of $ex by indulging in chocolate. That is one form of birth control!  Just saying!




    Last but certainly not least I would love to pass this little award to some well deserving “Smart Cookies”.  In no particular order they are….


Glen at "Glenslife"
Amy McMunn Schinndler at “From the Mom Cave”
Elizabeth Grace at “Word Nerd Speaks”


  The award rules do not specify how many people to honor so I chose 3.  They are all people who are extremely talented writers and have the ability to inject humor brilliantly in everything they write.  I never fail to smile when I visit them.  I encourage all of you to check out their blogs until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
