How to Feel Better

Yesterday, I somehow sprained my right thigh and was in 8-level pain. But suddenly, I became to feel a little better because of what the mailperson delivered to me.

01.  Some special crosswords from Francine. to keep my mind off of the pain.

02.  The latest issue of the Readers' Digest RD, large print, of course.

I'm going to list some things that I learned from this RD issue: If you have already read a copy, you could skip all this.  I won't get mad!

a.  Baby, Baby

Taylor A. Humphrey is a professional baby namer. For a starting fee of $1,500. Taylor will find an appropriate name for your little darling. 

b.  Facts (according to Rd)

(1)  Frankenstein is not the name of the monster.

I thought everybody knew that:  Frankenstein's Monster.

(2) You do not swallow four spiders in your sleep each year, regardless of what your friends tell you.

(3)  Green Space in New York City is very expensive to buy.  Imagine the worth of Central Park, which is larger than the Country of Monaco.

(4)  Jimmy Carter and Elvis have won the same number of Grammys.    (HUH?!)

(5)  Columbus died the day he learned he hadn't found a new route to Asia.

(Can you believe it?) 

(6)  When you google "askew," your screen appears tilted.

(Didn't work for me.)
