I am a blessed older woman with grown kids and grown grandchildren (I have 7 grandkids). During my years I have traveled the United States and parts of Europe. I've lived in Germany, Hawaii, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Georgia, Alabama and finally settled in northern Ohio where I have bought a house and hope to never move again. I love God, my family (which is huge) and my little dog, Livi, who is my constant companion.
I enjoy working in my garden, reading, sewing, making wire work jewelry and crocheting.
Life has been interesting and quite a journey. I have few regrets and am enjoying my later years.

I would make him look in random wrong drawer, then when he says they're not there, "oh yeah, sorry, they're in the (some other but still wrong) drawer". And then I would tell him to check this cabinet, that cabinet... I would make him check all the wrong drawer, cabinets, etc. except for the correct one.

To test if they're aware of the image being a reflection of themselves a spec of paint is applied to the animals. If they realise that the reflection shows themselves they'll try to clean away the speck of colour on their own body after seeing it in the mirror, if they don't realise what a reflection is, they try to interact with the other animal in the mirror or don't react at all.

His name was Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov. From Wikipedia: Arkhipov refused to authorize the captain and the political officer's use of nuclear torpedoes against the United States Navy, a decision which required the agreement of all three officers. In 2002, Thomas S. Blanton, then director of the U.S. National Security Archive, credited Arkhipov as "the man who saved the world".

Yep. My father wouldn't even let us use the swimming pool until it had rained "to clear the bilharzia". Never mind that a pool using chlorine wouldn't have any... (Grew up in and still live in Jozi, Mzansi - or Johannesburg, South Africa.)

That is not true. The closest from the truth is the one about marriage. You normally cannot marry a dead person. After WWII, derogation were granted by the president to women who were engaged to a man who then died in the war, for child legitimacy reasons. There is no reason to do that today, since the way we treat the legitimacy of a child is not the same as then. As for the Napoléon thing, there is absolutely no law about this. This belief comes from the first French edition of the Animal Farm. The publisher decided to rename the pig into César because they though it would convey the idea of an authoritarian dictator better. They were not legally forced to do this, this was their own choice, and all of the subsequent editions of the book had the pig being called Napoléon.

Everyone at work says my sense of smell is super sensitive to the point I seem to smell things much stronger than others, and that makes it so frustrating because they don't smell the perfume and mildew on the secondhand clothes that are being put out on the floor. Now, my sense of touch, on the other hand, is s**t. Sure I can feel textures, but I don't have a good grip and everything just feels too smooth and slick, or like nothing. But others can feel very well.

“Lt. Col Edward G. Lansdale was sent to end the guerilla Hukbalahap (or the “People’s Army Against Japan” in Tagalog) insurgency against the government. In studying the folklore of the region, Lansdale’s team made a discovery of a creature that the locals believed to roam the hills known as the Aswang. The Aswang is comparable to a vampire-like creature that drinks its victim’s blood. The Huks would often operate out of the surrounding wooded area of a town and attack government forces, so Lansdale sent a team to where they were operating in an attempt to replicate the Aswang myth. Once they arrived the team kidnapped a fighter, poked holes in their neck, drained their blood, and left their body where it would be found. Once the dead, exsanguinated, body was found by the Huks, the remaining forces quickly left the area.” Edit: This happened in the Philippines in the early 50’s.

That’s a bit overdramatic and inaccurate. How could the bees flap their wings in that ball? First of all, this behaviour is only seen in the Japanese Honey bee. Secondly they vibrate theor flight muscles and woth that the temperature within that ball rises above 45C and in addition to that the CO2 levels as well. So the hornet dies of heat and lack of oxygen. It most certainly doesn’t „burn“

During the Cuban Missile Crisis the world was the closest to nuclear fallout in history. A communist submarine spotted something suspicious and 2/3 of the commanding people agreed to launch a nuke. But because the third person voted no they couldn’t. Basically humanity rested on that one person and they didn’t even know it.

There are more unsolved murder cases than there are solved and that's just the ones we know about. There a lot of bodies at the bottom of most large bodies of water. Be it from accidents or suicides water seems to attract them. Micro plastics are finding it way into absolutely everything. I don't recommend googling it. Medical progress has a dark history of testing on the unknown masses.
