See, this is why I love this board... I just assumed they were full of calories ... (something about the cream cheese... ) If it weren't for my friends at the DIS - I'd go through life thinking these "wonderfully healthy" muffins were full of fat!

One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system

- That the tune for the "A-B-C" song is the same as "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" ? (It amazes me how many people are surprised to realize this )

- That in the Wizard of Oz Dorothy's last name is Gail. It is shown on the mail box.

As far as the ABC song - I am DUMBFOUNDED. I am somewhat musically inclined (I play piano for about 30 years) and I NEVER EVER put that together and I even play BOTH songs (by ear) for my kids and never thought I was playing the same song. I am completely AMAZED right now at my stupidity.

But didn't Dorothy live with her aunt and uncle - Gail was their last name - is there any indication that it was her name too?
