Your own personal mysteries.

^^^  LOL!  Probably if you had taken it into a car dealership or other repair place right when it happened, they'd have let it set overnight, the dent would have disappeared and they would have charged you $400.

By the same token, the treatment for minor hailstone damage is to wait until summer, when the 100+ heat will pop it out.

Update to a post I made this summer, about my lost cell phone. My son found it in the back of a bathroom cabinet last week. 

Well, OK. I've been having some problems with my current phone, so I took both phones to Verizon to ask if they could switch service from my new phone to the old one. I was put in touch with the insurance carrier.

So, not only would they not switch it over...since they paid a claim on it, it belongs to them by right of salvage, and they are sending an envelope for me to send it back to them!

I don't understand what your problem is and why it is a mystery. You are a lawyer, right? The new phone  is yours, the old phone is theirs. You got the information from your old phone to the new phone, so what is the mystery and problem?

If you want the old phone back, it seems that you should pay for it.

OH! Wonderful! Am I getting into law here? I really mean it as common sense, which is scary, too.

I think her mystery is where the heck was her phone when it went missing. Now that it's been found, mystery (sorta) solved.

Yes, that's it. It was just an interesting update, that's all.

When I was 7 I was lucky enough to go on a trip to England with my parents. We were at a musuem, I had wandered off. Meanwhile, mom was looking at a long velvet dress, made many many years ago (sorry not a history buff, maybe medieval era??) and was feeling a "connection" to this dress.

I don't remember why I said it, but I went up to her and said "you used to wear that dress Mommy."

The dress wasn't like anything my mother had ever worn. Did she wear it in a past life? Was it just a coincidence??

Do you play one on TV? I wonder who I have you confused with. You are both really nice and smart................

Luci45, your response to Pinky after her update was unnecessarily snarky.  You could have posted your thoughts in a much nicer way.

Re: the cats staring at mysterious things. Sometimes I wonder if they're just doing that to make us pay attention to them and wonder what they're doing. That sounds like something my cat would do.

the box room in my house, is always cold. even is the hottest summer. it's cold, even with a radiator.the person who lived in the house before me said the same thing, and both my dogs never went in that room!

[kherbert05]

How did my dogs' food bowl get from one end of one room - across another room and turned upside down with the food in it.

Why is one of my socks bigger than the other? It's like it's stretched out but I don't know why. The socks get worn the same, washed the same and yet one is now way too big for my foot.

When you fold socks, do you fold one over the other so they stay together? that might be it.

Might've gotten hung up on something in the wash; that happened to the sleeve of one of my favourite shirts once...when I took it out of the dryer, one sleeve was normal, the other was almost three and a half feet long.

Where did all of that sweet potato in the oven come from?

I baked a sweet potato for myself, a white potato for DH, and some chicken breasts for supper.  At one point I heard a kind of pop and thought "Oh, poot, one of those potatoes just blew up."  I checked them.  No blowout.

But in a little while I started smelling sweet potato, and when I went to take them out for supper, there was a mound of orange sweet potato innards on the floor of the oven. 

The potato skin was whole.  When I cut into it, there was no sign that any of it was missing.  So where did the potato on the floor of the oven come from?
