       A glitch in the Matrix or Mandela effect???
       By: Dazi Date: May 17, 2021, 7:11 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       So, we've all experienced weird things that we remember, but end
       up not being true.
       I had a glitch in the matrix/Mandela effect moment a few days
       ago. I went to pull into a gas station at the crossroads of an
       intersection and there was nothing there but a grass field. I
       swore there has been a gas station there for at least 10 years.
       I asked a few friends about the missing gas station and they
       were just as confused and also convinced there is absolutely
       100% a gas station there on the north west corner of the
       intersection. We are not confusing it with another location
       either because the next major crossroad is 10 miles east and
       there's a Walmart there.
       So what screwy things have y'all had happen?

       Some years ago my boss had the chairs in our client area
       reupholstered. He contracted with a private party to do the job,
       and the woman came to our office to pick up the bolt of cloth he
       had picked out for the job. We looked in the office, in the
       corners, moved stuff aside to search for that bolt of cloth but
       we could not locate it. It was taller than we were, and bulky,
       hard to miss. I called my boss and he came in (he lived 5
       minutes away). He entered our office and reached out into thin
       air. The second he put his hand on the bolt of cloth both the
       woman and I suddenly saw it. It was leaning against a chair
       directly in front of us, so close we could have kissed it. He
       was understandably peeved, and we couldn't give him any
       explanation as to why we couldn't find it before. I can't even
       give a theory as to why that happened. I think about it
       sometimes and shake my head, wondering about the weirdness of
       the universe.

       Peony, that’s not a glitch in the universe: that was just
       one of Speiderlegg’s cousins.
       I’ll explain. My family is afflicted - has been for three
       generations - by a bad fairy who hitched a lift back with them
       from a mountaineering holiday in Switzerland.
       Speiderlegg’s MO is quite simply to take our property - a
       hairbrush, a driving licence, a sweater - away from the place
       where we KNOW we put it. Sometimes he deposits the stolen item
       somewhere else in the house, in a place we know we didn’t
       put it and would never have dreamt of putting it. Sometimes he
       lets us ransack the house for days in ever-increasing
       frustration and panic, then calmly puts it back in its proper
       place, precisely where we first looked for it. And sometimes we
       never see the item ever again.
       Clearly, Speiderlegg has a relation working in Peony’s
       office. Not sure about Dazi’s experience: if the American
       branch of his family have ramped up their operations to the
       extent of stealing whole petrol stations, that’s a whole
       new level of fairy intervention you have over there!

       I have started a lot of seedlings, for myself and for a sale
       this coming weekend.  My Dad's caregiver asked for some of them,
       including kholrabi.  I made up a tray for her, including the
       kholrabi, that she took home.
       When she showed up yesterday, she swears up and down that I
       didn't give her kholrabi.  But the thing is, I know I did.
       There is a space in the tray where it would have been.  She even
       searched her car, thinking maybe she left it in there.  No dice.
       So I'll be giving her another pot of seedlings.

       I have dropped things that vanish before my eyes before they hit
       the floor and never to be seen again. For example, a key and a
       ring just to name two.

       Not long after Katrina, I took a trip to New Orleans. While
       there, I “lost” my drivers license. We tore apart my wallet,
       suitcase and hotel room looking for it, multiple times. I was
       worried about how I would get through airport security. I did
       have my recently expired passport though, so made it through
       with that.
       A year later, long after I had replaced it, I found my old
       license in my wallet.

       I think I've told this before, but we looked for a week for our
       kitchen shears. We looked in every drawer and cabinet, even the
       refrigerator. I finally gave up looking because I couldn't think
       of another place to look. About that time, I walked into the
       kitchen and they were right in the middle of the counter with
       nothing around them. I asked my mom where she found them, and
       she said she didn't. Nobody else had been in our house for days.

       On a different note than above, funny things happen in my house,
       which we just bought last year. Doors that were closed are open.
       Lights on that were off. Some are easy to explain - tv coming on
       randomly must be a neighbor with a similar remote. Garage door
       closed when my husband stepped out for a moment. Deadbolt thrown
       on a door that we left purposely unlocked. My husband and I each
       thought the other was doing these things. Mostly this has all
       stopped.
       But yesterday right after my husband left for a week, a key
       popped out of the buffet and went plink on the ground. Probably
       just came loose from vibrations in the room, doors opening and
       closing and it’s in a high traffic area. But after so many other
       things I am of course suspicious.

       Ah, yes! I have a colander that randomly disappears for months
       at a time! Also lost a bottle of meds last week and flat out
       demanded it be returned immediately. Plunk... Heard it land in
       the living room on the side table. WTH??? And my personal
       favorite, the bracelet.  My husband gave me this beautiful
       bracelet for our anniversary one year...it disappeared a few
       years later. Turned the house upside down looking for it. More
       than a year later, I went to get in my car after work and it
       literally dropped out of the sky and hit me on the head.
       Seriously!!!
       I've asked several more people about the gas station. They all
       said there's been one there for like a good 20 years! Only it
       definitely isn't there anymore and no sign there was EVER a gas
       station there. 🤦🤷

       I told this story before, but back when cars had a key for the
       doors and a separate key for the engine, somehow the door key
       got lost for years.
       My family wanted to sell the car but how without the key? Soon
       after, I opened a closet door and the key fell out from nowhere.
