Put a Lid on it!

OK, I can't figure this out. I have a round plasticware container in my car, and a square lid.

And in my kitchen cabinet I have about 50 square containers of various widths, but only 2 or 3 square lids and 87 round lids!

What is going on here? I know they all had lids that fit when I purchased them and put them in the cabinet. I have even sorted through them a few times, every 6 years or so, and matched them up. So how come I can never find a lid that fits???!

What happened to the round containers that were in the cabinet? Do they sneak out at night? Do they transmute to another shape every 5 years or so? WHERE ARE THEY?!

If you have or know the whereabouts of my round containers, I will trade you the square ones.
Or we could trade lids...

They used to say there is a lid for every pot. I wonder, do they always fit properly?

Time Savers

Computers are such time savers for people today. What would we do without the Internet?

What did we do before? I just looked up a word on the internet found several definitions, most of them agreed and I can click here and hear the standard pronunciation! If I didn't have Internet, I would have had to drag out the unabridged Dictionary, which weighs about 15 pounds, look it up and then heave it back up on the shelf. Instead I will use the Internet and then go to the fitness club and do some bicep and tricep weight training. I think I just heard a bell. Not exactly a bell, but an electronic signal which is supposed to sound like a bell. Just a minute, let me check my email....

3 hours later

Yes, the internet is quite a time saver. How else would I keep up with all my friends and business acquaintances, and a myriad of FaceBook Friends, to boot!
It only took 30 minutes, uh, 45, I mean, an hour, oh, THREE HOURS to check it. Next time I'm going to set a timer. I think I can do that with an app...let me check on that.

Anyway, there are only 24 hours in a day. If I save something like 4 or 5 hours by getting all my news and socializing done online, it's not like I get more time tomorrow, or on the weekend. So what does it mean to SAVE time? I'll have to research that and get back to you. Stay tuned.

And if you want to reduce stress and improve your time management skills, I intend to make a free download available on my website, www.EnlightenedHypnosis.com.

You Light up my Life!

We were doing research on crystals in the bookstore and library yesterday. We found an interesting stone, which has a combination of colors: it appears white with black spots in the photo. This stone has unique qualities. It lights up the dark and conversely, darks up the light. It's a rare stone, called Merlinite. I would venture a guess that the name has something to do with the famous wizard, Merlin.
