Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Helga]

OK, when it comes to handbags that is probably my girliest obsession, I can honestly say I have about 25 handbags. Though it has changed now that I have to carry my schoolbag all day but when it comes to my handbag it has the same things in it at all times:

a small purse for coins
a cigar case with pictures of James Dean I use for my cards (bus card,credit and that stuff)
a notebook
a book I'm reading
sunglasses
keys
and extra chewing gum
and my calendar book
sometimes my laptop, it's only 10'' so it fits in most of my handbags

The Finder - with one big round magnifying eye, and a handful of long thin fingers to reach into the other dimension behind the drawer.

Not even he would venture into a lady's handbag.

Perhaps The Finders sidekick could be a woman? That way all bases are covered, nothing is off limits??

Excellent.

My wife was explaining to me today what she - and presumably all females - call "drawer blindness" which is a condition that manifests in men only.

They open the drawer, missing the big sticky out thing they are looking for, but instead are overcome by the expectation that they will not be able to find whatever it is, thus succumbing to panic and subsequent "drawer blindness".

I find this explanation to be consistent with my experience of blokes tales of finderless woe. Perhaps The Finder should be a woman then?

I'll have to relate this revelation to my Mates on the Cold Ale thread.

[prendrelemick]

No, I think if The Finder was a woman her powers wouldn't be super (or should I say every woman has these super powers)

Perhaps he's a man who is comfortable with his feminine side.

GASP! As he locates a corkscrew
OOO! As he finds the pickled onion fork/dispencer in the lightbulb drawer.
AAH! As you notice his cape tastefully matches his belt and sets off his highlights to perfection.

I don't really have to look for things, all of my clothes are just on the floor so you can see all of them at all times. It's a great system. I'm fridge blind though. This happened less than two days ago:

"Dave, where's the coke?"
"On the door."
"Nuh uh."

I deny that it's on the door until he has to come all the way into the kitchen from his room and, without pause, grabs the bottle of coke which was sitting on the door at my head level less than six inches away from my eyes. It wasn't even behind anything.

Perhaps your blokey qualities have affected your natural feminine ability at drawer/ fridge physics? Perhps having an edge of violence counteracts the "finding" ability we've been on about.

My father also suffers from such selective blindness... His mother used to tell him to 'take [his] eyes in [his] hands and [to] look once more'.

Saying that, she used to lose a lot of stuff, but was able to find other people's .

Blindness happens to my husband and myself alike... I have done the Juniper-thing...

[JuniperWoolf]

Haha, oh no, I really hope fridge blindness doesn't start to be referred to as "the Juniper thing." That will amuse David though.

K Ladies, any remedies for dry eyelids?

[qimissung]

How about a lotion like Oil of Olay, papaya?

Would you like to know why you don't see something right in front of you, guys? ( I say guys, 'cause Paul Clem) Aha, I knew you would:

If anybody checks this out, I have another question about something I do, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

I am in the 30% apparently... what about you qimi?

K Ladies, any remedies for dry eyelids?

Hmm, I have never had dry eyelids, but since they are more sensitive (and the skin is thinner) than most of the rest of the face, try some kind of eye cream. Otherwise, my go to recommendation is always vaseline, because it has a hundred amazing uses and is cheap and effective.

Oh man I am the queen of losing stuff. I have lost almost everything imaginable (even myself ), and it has become so bad that I am known for it amongst family and friends and constantly made fun of. However, I have never lost something that was someone else's... so that makes me wonder whether I inherently value my own stuff less than other people's? Or maybe because I don't use other people's things that often, I am (statistically) less prone to lose them??? I don't know, but my scatterbrain has really been detrimental to my wallet...

K Ladies, any remedies for dry eyelids?

If your eyelids are dry, but the rest of your face isn't then you've probably had some sort of allergic reaction? This has happened to me. If you have sensitive skin you shouldn't put your normal moisturiser over your eye area. You need a special eye cream or gel for sensitive skin.

Also, the eyelids are probably the oliest parts of the body, so that's another reason it makes me think you've had a reaction to something if they are dry. But the reaction needn't be because of some 'wrong' cream you've put on them. I've been using specialized stuff for quite a while, but it still happens to me from time to time (especially the inner corners of my top eyelids).

hehe, yes indeedy, Helga (high fives Helga).
