chickencam Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I keep getting tingling in my finger and the edge of my little finger on my left. After using Dr Google, it seems I may have trapped my ulnar nerve! One of the causes is sleeping with the arm of the affected fingers bent. Which I do, left arm bent under my pillow. Not going to be able to sleep like that again I get that sometimes, always wondered why, thanks for the info I get dead arms quite often in bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done you. I wouldn't call this a 'little fact & thing' though - it deserves a thread all of it's own I have massive admiration for people like you that put themselves forward for fostering. I wish you all the very best of luck. I have a friend that fosters she had quite a job to get approved though it isn't easy. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Saw this in the 'Focus' magazine: "Anything invented before your 15th birthday is the order of nature. That's how it should be. Anything invented between your 15th and 35th birthday is new and exciting, and you might get a career there. Anything invented after that day, however, is against nature and should be prohibited."

sage Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I got my mother a mobile phone for Xmas it’s a basic pay as you go. She takes it everywhere with her. The problem is she has it switched off. My Dad has convinced her they charge her if it’s on, this is from a man who cannot use a sky remote, microwave or washer.

patsylabrador Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 A new form of fungi has been found in the forests of Borneo which looks like a seasponge & is squarish in shape. Guess what it's been named. Spongiforma squarepantsii. It's not April Fools Day I hope. It's on the BBC news website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
