Can you eat spinach, then whistle without spitting the green bits (that always seem to get stuck between the teeth) out??
I can't ;-)
I can't whistle, despite Lauren Bacall's instructions. I've tried and tried and simply nothing comes out but whoooosh.

Well Pris, I came here actually just to say I was thinking of you with Wilma headed your way. And to beg for some of that rain - we've had a really dry summer.
Got distracted when I saw this post. With my own CFS mess in mind, it is absolutely excellent! And I really enjoyed Bernice's list too. Gotta add this idea to my list of things I'd like to blog about:)
Bernice, I can't swim either!! Dogpaddle or on my back & that is far as I ever got. Every time I tried to tread, I sank like a rock.
Pris, lol, I can't whistle either:) With our dogs, that sure would come in handy!
Hi Octavia
I didn't realize you had a blog now. Glad to see you post!
