 Squirrels can generally live up 10 years in optimum conditions (with gray squirrels having a slightly shorter lifespan), however many baby squirrels in the wild never even make it to adulthood due to predators. ... In captivity, squirrels need to be provided with a variety of foods to make sure they are getting the proper nutrition.

How many calories are in a Caterpillar???  I did not find the answer for that, but I did find out this:

 Some caterpillars can actually contain more protein and fat gram for gram than a turkey leg, but that fat comes from healthier monounsaturated sources. 

Amazing. You never know when you might have to resort

to eating caterpillars. 

People also ask-

 

Are grasshoppers good for you to eat?

 

How much protein is in a caterpillar?

 

Are bugs healthy?

 

What is the nutritional value of an ant? 

 

I guess inquiring minds just need to know. 

 

Some of my favourite questions are of the health type.  

 

 

What does it mean when you have lines on your nails?

 

 Ridged nails. Vertical ridges (shown here) are usually harmless and a consequence of ageing. Horizontal nail ridges running from side to side of the nail, known as Beau's lines, may be a sign of previous injury, underlying health conditions, or in rare cases, arsenic poisoning. Seek medical advice if you have concerns. 

 

 

 

It really annoys Todd sometimes.  I am always googling when we are watching a film or some such.  Wanting to know the film locations, the ages of the actors, etc.  I just really enjoy knowing all the background things such as these.  I don't think I am alone because if I was, the above photograph would not have been invented.  I try hard not to do it . . .  but I always cave in and start googling something, because I always end up having a question I want an answer to. 

 

I am an expert at googling. 

 

Seriously.

 

Have you ever googled yourself?

Its amazing what comes up.  Mostly my artwork, etc.  But sometimes there are oddities too . . . 

 

 

Apparently someone with my name was involved in a Hot Tub Sex Arrest. No it wasn't me.  I don't even have a hot tub, and I don't think I will be getting one soon.

 

 

There are other search engines of course.  I have tried a few such as Ask Jeeves, Bing, etc. but I always come back to Google, and I think its because it is easy to use and its quick and I always find an answer to whatever pressing questions I have a need to know the answer to.

 

So I guess my question to you today is . . .

Do you google?

 

  

 

We are off to our friends Tina and Tony today for lunch.  Mitzie will be going with us.  She love LOVES Tina.  It will  make a break for her and it will be good for us me to get out of the house and blow away the cobwebs.  We've spent the last few days sorting out passports. Todd lost his passport in the autumn.  He had to take it into the bank for some reason and has not been able to find it since. So he has had to apply for a new one.  ££££ Ka-ching Ka-ching.  My Canadian passport expired in December so I have to renew it.  You know Canada does not make doing any of these things easy when you live outside the country.  And they make it very expensive.  I will have to wait a bit longer for mine because it costs three times as much as it does for Todd's and in the meantime I do have my British passport.  I do want to have my Canadian one however, so will get it eventually.  It will just take a bit longer.  

 

 

I didn't get into the craft room yesterday.  I spent the morning baking a cake, only to have this happen . . . yep.  I tested it and it was done, but when I went to flip it out of the tin onto the cooling rack, it slipped and this happened.  And it was RAW in the middle!  It had sprung back when touched and everything.  I skipped the toothpick test.  Lesson to me, never skip the toothpick test!  The edges were very tasty however, so I will bake it again when I have some over-ripe bananas to use up. It uses three.  Its a recipe I got from this book. 

 

 

  

Its a sound recipe so I will bake it again one day when I have some over-ripe bananas to use up.  And with that I will leave you with a thought for the day . . .

BOOK OF MORMON CORNER - Today's Reading - Jacob 5:70-77 

Question - The Lord also laboured in the vineyard. What does this mean to you?  

 

My thoughts -  What an absolute privilege and blessing it is to be asked to work alongside the Saviour. He is not saying . . .  this is my work, this is how I want it doing, now you get to it. Nor is He saying  . . . . this is MY work, I can do it all, let me do it by myself (which He surely could). He is allowing us to take part because it will bless and change us, then we can partake of the JOY of saving with Him. 

 

Tomorrow's Reading (Day 85) - Jacob 6:1-13 

Question - What is Jacob emphasising about God's character in these verses? How do you cleave unto God?
