Largest Easter Egg Hunt

The largest Easter Egg hunt on record took place in 2007 at the Cypress Gardens theme park in Winter Haven, Florida. It took the 9,700 participants just one hour to find the 510,000 candy eggs.

Wisdom of the Easter Bunny

All I need to know about life I learned from the Easter Bunny


Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans.

Good things come in small-sugarcoated packages.

The grass is always greener in someone else's basket.

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.

To show your true colors you have to come out of the shell.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

Sincerely Another Quiz

Pretty close, except for the "conscientious and responsible" part.  And the "procrastinating or shirking", too. Oh, and the "puts manners first" is way off as well.  I DO try to make sure my emails are well-composed, though.  They're often always too wordy, but.... Thank goodness for spell check.

One of the questions was "When was the last time you hand-wrote a letter?"  I'm glad "I can't remember" was one of the choices, because I honestly can't remember.  It's probably been over fifteen years ago, before I got a computer, for sure.  It's hard for me to sign my name on a credit card slip; I've almost forgotten how to write.

I'm really not a "sincerely" type of person.  If it's a friend or family member, I usually sign off with "Love";  if it's a stranger, it's "Regards".  Most of the time I don't put anything other than my name.

You Are Sincerely

You're the type of person who puts manners first. You always act appropriately. You are conscientious and responsible. You don't like the feeling of procrastinating or shirking. While you don't always sign your emails 'Sincerely,' you make sure that they are well composed. Whether you're emailing a friend or a business associate, you take the time to double check your words. More than any other type, you make sure email doesn't pile up for you. You know it's important to reply quickly. Some may say that email is going out of style, but you still consider it an art form. And you couldn't imagine living without it.

What Email Sign Off Are You?

Maybe the quiz says I use "Sincerely" because this song came out the year I was born.  Just like me, an oldie but a goody.

Rank & Worth

ToTG is ranked #8,129,387 in the world according to Website Value. Different sites give some vastly different rankings, especially in what ToTG is "worth". ValueMyWeb says it's worth $499. I've said this before, but I'd sell it for that in a New York minute except I was taught to never cheat anyone.

webArbiter says it's worth $457. Yeah, right.

Alexa, arguably the most accurate of these types of statistics sites, globally ranks ToTG #23,066,013.

SiteWorthGet said this blog was worth $139, but after updating the information, its worth is now $109. I shouldn't have updated it, it depreciated 21 bucks with one mouse click! (the content has greatly depreciated over the years since I started it, too)

OTOH, siteworthchecker had a value of Zero, Zilch, Nada...the big ol' goose egg $0 but after an update, it is also now valued at $109. To be honest, that still seems way too a little high.

I guess "worth" means the potential for earning, but since there's no ads, that's a moot point. The numbers vary from site-to-site, but most of the estimated earnings come in at around ten bucks/month. It's worth $10 to me to NOT subject my few readers to ads and the potential for trojans/viruses many hosted ads contain not to mention the invasion of privacy and all-around annoyance of them.  I use various ad block extensions on my Firefox browser and I expect many others do as well.  If not, they should. 

urlpulse says it's ranked #28,916,047 in the world, #2,318,571 in the United States and worth $855.30, with a value per visitor of .03 cents.

Maybe that's why this blog doesn't get many visitors or many people leaving their two cents worth. I'd hate to post here too and have my worth devalued by 2/3.
