The title is pretty self explanatory. I'm Brigitte Dale and I'm a burger-earner.

This economy is forcing lots of people who'd finally gotten a place of their own to go back to having a roommate. Make the best of it! P.S.

Great tip about the phone books. I've just opted out. I had no idea you could do that. Thank you Smiling

The t-shirt slipped over from a different dimension. It was there all along, you just couldn't see it. It happens, stuff slides back and forth. I lost a 6 mm socket in the engine compartment of my old Saab. I looked for that damned socket for MONTHS. Then someone explained to me how stuff slides back and forth between dimensions. The guy the t-shirt belongs to, who is no doubt sharing your little house unseen, is wondering what the hell happened to his (mostly) white t-shirt-it was right there by the bed. I know just how he feels.
PS The stains are from men's antiperspirant/deodorant. That's the reason I never use the stuff, and have no dates.

Wind, Wind, Wind...

You never use deodorant? Jeez... who should be creeped out by whom?

Brigitte - -

Chances are, it was stuck on the ceiling of the dryer, near the door. It's not enough to look... you have to be a FEELING person.

Speaking of being a feeling person... It's been 333 days since the Great Ankle Injury. Still no word of sympathy from Lady Brigitte!

TIP ON ATTRACTING A GUY: Make the deodorant stains disappear from the T-shirt, return it to the guy and tell him that you washed his T-shirt, pointing out that the stains are gone. He'll wonder how you did it. DON'T tell him that you got it out with ketchup.

but.... won't the ketchup replace the deodorant stain with a ketchup stain?

ew! that would be much worse

"Ketchup it! Pour ketchup all over it! Work it in really good there..." Yeah, right!

To be honest with you, though, Brigitte, I DID try it on the bottom of my tea kettle. It's the first time in YEARS I had seen the Paul Revere logo on the bottom! I thought "Dang! That little squirt! Now I'm gonna have to fess up that she was right about it!"

I have had weird stuff like that happen. But there are alot more people living in my house, and crazy stuff happens from time to time. I have acquired a very nice beach towel in this way. Smiling It just appeared. I think maybe the wind carried it here. It just landed on the porch railing one day. But I don't think I would be happy about a large, pit-stained men's tee shirt just showing up in the wash. You wouldn't lose anything by throwing it away. But it is mysterious, just like things that disappear. Like that earring you dropped on the floor and you never see it again. Or the sock that goes into the "wormhole dryer" and never comes back... and yet you never feel right throwing the other earring or sock away. Just in case one day it DOES come back.

I still have the other sock. I was going to throw it out, but if there is a chance Brigitte has the missing one. Then all hope is not lost.

Maybe your dryer isn't a dryer, maybe it's a machine that creates an artificial wormhole to other dryers. It picks a dryer that is empty, sends your clothes there to be dried then brings them back. Occasionally someone will leave one article of clothing in their dryer that your wormhole dryer won't see and accidentally brings it back with your clothes.

I lost a sock a few weeks ago; it's black with yellow at the toe and heel section. So on the off chance that your dryer is some sort of wormhole to other dryers. Can you please keep an eye out for my missing sock?

Thanks,
Joe
