I've been busy for a few weeks and have missed some of your stories and poems. They are all so educational, enlightening and entertaining. I plan to go back and read all the ones I missed.

Once again, an outstanding read. I love it! Lot's of good information--and, yes, I think my wife would've liked to do the same to me a time or two.

I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions or other comments for improvement. Your stories are so well done.

Thanks for the read.

Thank you so much for another of your lovely reviews. You and many other husbands have said that to me, LOL, I'm sure you are all pampered and loved. :)) Thank you for your continued support, my friend, it means a lot to me. Have a lovely day. :)Sandra xx

Wow, that's great! I love the poem at the beginning, and also found it very informative! I just learned a whole bunch about the octopus, and I think the anatomical drawing is a great idea.
Lovely pictures, too and thanks for the cool video! Best of luck with your book!

In the depths of the sea are many varieties of animals and some of the most colorful animal life on the planet. May your week be blessed.

Hello Sandra,
The octopus and I have something in common, besides our extraordinary
good looks, we both love to eat crab.
When on a spelling test, one must never write octopi or paltypi, for the blue-ringed teacher will splash red ink all over the paper and create quite a fuss as she discusses the proper spelling of platypuses and octopuses and says, "Proper spelling results in A-Pluses".
I wonder if they have a stiff upper lip to go along with that blue blood.
Loved your fact-filled poem with some octo-meter, and those scary notes about poison, beaks and teeth.
Eight stars!
Robert

You're right, in fact I doubt many people have heard paltypi, and octopi has been out for a long time now. You are quite mad, Robert, I think that's why we get on so well. Obviously Pam must be mad too! Octo-meter!!! LOL. Your review is fabulous as always, and I enjoyed laughing as I was reading. Thank you, my friend, for the golden stars, I really appreciated both. Big hugs, my friend. P coming next. :)) Sandra xx

Hmmmm.... maybe less predators in the cold waters...? :) A great addition for the book -- you just HAD to use octopus for 'O' because NOTHING else compares when it comes to unique and odd!! ;) Great one, my lady - thanx for sharing (and, yeah, I've got a timer set for my procrastination this morning... back to house work in 32 minutes!)! ;)

Thank you, Yvette, for reading about the octopus. You might be right about the predators and cold water. You wouldn't catch me swimming in temperatures under 80F!! In fact, since doing these ABCs, you won't catch me in the water, period! LOL. Thank you, my friend. Hope your house work is going well! :)) Sandra xx

Someone else did a post about the Octopus. At first I thought I was getting senile. Well, I probably am, but that's besides the point, haha.

I really enjoyed reading this. One can't get enough information about this creature, as long as it's from a safe distance.

Three hearts and they grow back their arms. I think you're making this all up. Maybe you need to get back to fiction, LOL.

As you can see, I'm feeling better. To answer your question, I didn't get a Covid test. I just felt like maybe I needed one. Summers are brutal in the south. The heat and humidity wipe me out. Sometimes it affects my head and stomach. As I told my husband, if we did get the virus we should go from bed to hospital. Those lines for the test are likely to kill ya. Hugs, Lou

I can quite understand how you would start to think you had the virus, you had the symptoms, but I'm glad it was only due to the heat. That can be so draining.
Of course it's all true!!! LOL. Even I couldn't make that up. There was a lot more that would have fascinated you, but it would have made a few people a bit squeamish. Thank you, dear Lou, for this lovely, fun review, and all the stars. I'm just so pleased you're alright now. Let's be having some more of your funny stories and poems. We all need cheering up! Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

What a fantastic read! I just learned for more about octopuses than I ever knew. You're obviously an exceptional writer and have done your research very well.

The only thing that I noticed that looks like a mistake is on the second and third to last paragraphs there seems to be a space before the first word on each. Also, I'm not sure if the last paragraph is correct with "Octopus are ..." I was wondering if it should be "Octopuses are ..." or "Octopus is ..." or even "The octopus is ..."

Fantastic read, and thank you for sharing all these interesting and fun facts about octopuses!

Thank you for spotting those errors, I've been back and sorted them. It most certainly was supposed to be 'Octopuses'. I really appreciate you telling me.
Your review is just fabulous, I thank you dearly for it and the golden stars! I hope you come back again for letter P, I can always use another set of eyes to pick up my spags. Thank you again, you have put a big smile on my face. :)) Sandra xx

Once again, you have both educated and entertained me! Thank goodness I'm not married to an octopus. I'm sure that Wendy feels like strangling me occasionally. I think it's only her arthritis that saves me.

I think most wives have that feeling now and again, Lol. Arthritis in the hands is so painful, I feel for your wife. Thank you for another lovely review, my friend, I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Have a lovely day, my friend. :)) Sandra xx
