Sneakeater Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Oh fuck. NOW I learn that there's a traditional Indonesian dish of fried poultry (or beef) liver with Sambal. I well, I couldn't have liked it more than I did my Southern fried with Comeback Sauce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 A book of essays, written by someone I used to know and which is personally autographed to me, has vanished into thin air. N hadn't borrowed it and I can't imagine having tossed it. I've checked every single bookshelf in the house plus the piles of books on the floor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 Lost my keys. Searched high and low. After an hour of panic, when I got back from a marketing trip during which I uneasily left my door unlocked, I felt something metallic in the bottom of the pocket I don't keep them in, where I didn't even bother to to look as they'd never be there. Do I have to tell you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Wouldn't you know it? I got something perishable delivered to my mailbox yesterday, when I couldn't open it. Don't worry: it wasn't THAT perishable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Obviously my phone is a regular cast member here, but tonight it had a featured role. I know I had it over cocktails at a bar two blocks away. Came home, made dinner, read books. Where is the phone? Looked everywhere. No. Went back to the bar. They remembered me and no. Came back, turned the place upside down. It was under the napkin I had put on the table after finishing dinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 After three trips to an Apple store (for various reasons), I just got a new battery for my phone. On my trip to Baltimore I carried a portable charger so I could keep the damn thing going all day. This led to reflections on how dependent on phones we have become. So it was really bad timing to be convinced I'd lost it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The other day, my phone fell out of my purse as I got up to exit the bus. I heard it slide, so I raced around looking under seats but couldn't find it. The other passengers sprang into action, one of them taking my number so she could call the phone (which did not ring, because it sends unknown numbers straight to voicemail). Just as the bus stopped at 1st Ave., a guy found it wedged into the space between the heater and the wall. The whole thing was like the world's least consequential action movie. Except that I can't pay my subway fare or show my ID at work without my phone. So yeah, dependent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
