of study. Statistically many mini black holes have been detected near
or around homes where dedicated quilters live and gather. Rather an
anomalous finding does require further study. It seem to occur rather
more frequently in homes where a great deal of quilt-making happens
but the shopping to usage index of fabric is low. It seems that some
quilters and stitchers in general who allow gaps in their fabric
stash to occur set up a cosmic environment that fosters the creation
of a tiny black hole. This cosmological event will only grow larger
over time increasing the likely hood of a much larger event horizon
that could ultimately involve all of the known universe and beyond.
If two such stitchers should live in close distance of each other the
effect is increased exponentially. To slow or prevent such growth it
is necessary to fill the gaps with newer fabric, there by preventing
hopefully any development of the danger to begin with. This
phenomenon has also been observed in a slightly lesser degree with
buttons, trims, threads, books and magazines. It is also known that a
good preventative measure is to keep one or more very high quality
sewing machines in the immediate area.
It has been postulated that persons who embark on a course of
becoming gathers of large quantities of fabric have acquired a
special duty. To whit they should be required by all standards of
ethical behavior to keep holes in their fabric stashes from
happening at all. Despite any hardship to themselves and their
immediate family this course of action is highly recommended. All
spouses, partners and children have a duty not only to the human race
and the planet at large but to the entire universe and life it's self
to point out when such shortages seem to be appearing and offer to
assist the quilter to acquiring more fabric. Not only will this help
alleviate the problem but their ultimate reward will be an outpouring
of quilted objects for their use-age. All family members need to be
aware that how their needs are met, IE. food, clothing, housing,
transportation, and entertainment needs are only there in furtherance
to the goal of preventing black holes from appearing in their homes.
Further study of this phenomena is highly indicated and it may be
that in the future information gleaned will indicate the need for
more quilt shops in general and an increase in the availability of
high quality and appealing fabric at a low to reasonable cost per
yard. In addition home plans will need to include a large and well
lit studio for the quilter to engage in her vital work preserving the
cosmological integrity of the universe at large.
Along with the study of black holes, white holes seem to be a topic
rich in interest. Little is known at this time about white holes but
is is indicated that they are responsible for the depositing of small
objects such as keys, coins, buttons and seam rippers in odd unlikely
places and deep into the cushions of upholstered furnishings. In
addition is the largely unknown connection between black holes and
white holes in the depositing of odd socks in clothes dryers.
In conclusion The Committee for the Preservation of the Universe
would like to thank each and every member of the quilting community
for saving the world one yard at a time.

I have a special Cross that my Godmother gave me when I was baptized at 5 years old. I started wearing it as a young adult and never took it off. One day while on vacation it went missing. Oh, no, where could it be? When I went to the ladies room, I found it in the waist band of my pants. Something just said to look down, if I hadn’t it would have fallen on the floor and I probably would never have seen it again.
Years later, I lost it again. My husband and I looked for it everywhere. I even looked at work, asking everyone to keep an eye out for it. I thought it was a goner for sure this time. I was heart-sick. One day, many years later, my husband and I were moving our waterbed to another room. I reminded my husband to be on the look out for my Cross, this was the only place we hadn’t looked. We both got down on our hands and knees and looked at every square inch of the bedroom carpet, even along the baseboard, just in case it got caught in the crevice. No luck. I was dismayed. I said a prayer to God and asked that he find it for me.
The next morning we were finishing the bedroom project when, right there in the middle of the rug was my cross. You couldn’t miss it. There was no way neither my husband, nor I, could have missed the cross lying on the rug. It was the first thing we saw as we walked into the bedroom. I was so thankful; I thanked God for returning it for me. Since then I have stopped wearing the cross and keep it in a very special spot for save keeping.

When I was kid, I used to hang out at my dad's store. Busy street out front. Every time an old lady got hit while crossing the road, she'd leave behind one shoe. There was a never ending supply of old ladies. If I go down there now, will I find a shoe?
I wonder why male strangers are so much nicer to sit next to than female strangers.
Why is it when the city "fixes" something that isn't broken, they break it and walk away? It's really broken now. You can fix it for real! Only a sinkhole on the news will bring them around.

If I have to go to another room upstairs it never happens, only when I go down the basement steps and end up having to come back up, retrace my steps and then remember. I usually have to chant what I forgot, like "Toilet paper, toilet paper, toilet paper" all the way down to the basement, get it and come back upstairs! Edie
PS - I don't worry about dementia or Alzheimer's because I know that this happens to other people all the time.

I know this isn't a funny subject...but you made me laugh with that one.
God bless you!
