What I'm Watching This Morning.

Just because...

Horshoes

I've been trying to figure out the best way to hang horseshoes this morning. Up or down? Old or new? I Googled it and now I'm more confused. If you find one or are given one then the luck goes to the original owner. Even if you hang it in your house. You can't buy one because that doesn't work. It has to be a horseshoe from your horse. My horses don't wear shoes because they don't go on pavement so I will have to shoe one to get some "good" horseshoes.

So many rules.

So do I get more luck if I shoe a regular size horse and less luck if I shoe one of my miniature horses?

I learned that in the US you hang it like a "U" to catch the luck. In other countries you hang it upside down so the luck pours onto you. We have a bunch of upside down horseshoes on our property and I was confused but we bought the property off of a Mexican family so that would explain that.

I learned something new.

Jack-Jack Week 7

This week your baby has an amazing growth spurt. At the beginning of this week, your baby is approximately 4 to 5 mm and by the end of the week it has more than doubled to 11 to 13 mm! Your baby weights approximately 0.03 ounces. Most women are ready for the world to know they are pregnant. Even though you have not changed very much yet, it will come soon! You might have gained a small amount of weight by now, but it should only be a couple of pounds at this time. It is not unusual to lose a few pounds or remain the same though. Internally, cervical mucus is thickening and will form a plug in the cervical canal. The plug seals your cervix throughout the pregnancy and it will be expelled prior to delivery when your cervix begins to dilate.

Your baby's leg and arm buds are longer now and they have divided into segments where the hands and feet will be. The hands and feet also have an area where the fingers and toes will begin to form. At this point of your pregnancy, the heart is bulging grom the body and it has divided into right and left chambers. The brain's hemispheres are continuing to grow and the air passages into the lungs are visible. Your baby's eyes are begiining to get pigment. The nose is developing and the beginning of the face can be seen. The baby's abdomen is developing quickly and the appendix and pancreas are already present. Your baby's digestive tract is beginning to form and the hindgut is present. The shape of the talk can still be seen, but it will fade in 3 or 4 weeks.

Uncle Jay & The Truckers Strike & PSP Shares

So whoever hasn't heard yet, a lot of the independent truck drivers will be going on strike starting tomorrow (April 1st). Nope, it isn't an April Fools joke. They are fed up with the diesel prices. I know it's hitting big in our house. Companies want their loads moved but are not willing to pay a higher rate to help the truckers pay for the fuel.
I heard something tonight about the Cattleman's Assoc. also going on strike and they are supposed to stop sending out beef but I haven't verified that one yet. I just got a phone call saying to stock up on beef. We don't eat that much beef here. Not beef from the store anyway.

Ok, that's that.

I've been really sick lately so I haven't done any more psp shares. I have someone in my guestbook who asked about it but I really haven't had time to open up psp and make anything to share. I'm glad you like it but I haven't done anything extraordinary. :o)Just doodling. I have a few tags to make for people and I'm behind. I just hope everyone bears with me for another week. I'm sure I'll feel better by then. I better.

Uncle Jay is really funny today. Enjoy and visit his channel. There's a link in the last Uncle Jay post.
