Oppps Broken Egg ??? - This is invisible because it happen to me and I certainly hope no-one saw it. Well, Cooking my egg for breakfast and very proud of the ability of the Tephon no stick frying pan. Turning the egg around the frying pan... I was suprise to see it fly out and land on the stove. Between the burners, one red hot the other cold black, it sat there. No the yoke was not broken and now as I look it at... I wonder how I was going to pick it up without breaking the yoke and then a real mess.
No, I would not want anyone to see that... I was there with the egg flipper, spallet, and wondering if I could flip it back into the pan without breaking the yoke.
First try, it did not get up to the edge of the frying pan... Well guess try a plate. (yes I turned off the hot burner) No I have yet to break the yoke...... do you do a quick flip... like pulling the tablecloth off a table... one quick sweep...??? Do you try to slide the spatter under the egg..
Guess did a bit of both... slow... slow... then a quick flip to the plate... Done... Now to clean up all the grease between the burners.
So very proud of myself, Egg on plate,, now on the toast, nice sandwiches... Now to taste it.. Opps Broken egg.. Damm egg squirt out the sandwich to land all over the table and my hand.

Glad no one seen such stupid breakfast preparation... Guess it happens when at 60 and living alone you cook like a single fool.

Don't look for Me. - On the first of the month, when the welfare cheques arrive in the mail or the bank; those who have been home all of the last two weeks are gone.

Paying bills, or Partying, I am not sure; but don't look for them. Of course, in the same apartment there is about 20 having a beer and everyone talking at the same time. Don't attempt to telephone because they don't even hear the phone.

The general public never realizes that for two weeks these people wait for their beer or smokes.

An invisible life of two weeks unless they plan and buy the months supply of tobacco.

Don't Walk - Walk Lights - As we cross the street we see the Walk-Don't Walk light in front of us but did you every turn around when you get across and look back at the light on the opposite side.

Here, we often get the light which walks one way and the other way it does not. Invisible to the individual whom see people waiting on the opposite side of the street after you have left the curb.

Of course, they began to walk when they see the opposite side walking, but how stupid the city is to not have lights on both side of the street. Guess it save money, as the Walk - Don't Walk light post are not similar to the regular Traffic lights which hang overhead for the Drivers to see.

Become, invisible wise and report to the city those siturations or those lights that do not work the same on both sides of the walkway.

Takes Three to Breed - Would you believe it, not two to tangle, but three. The city of St-Bruno, near Montréal now charges a 40 dollar Breeding Fee to all residence. Of course, it is not for people but for animals, when there are three animals or more in the same household.

My friend always wanted a Huskie and finally got a pup recently. He went to get the dog tags and as he was paying the tags, and filling out the form, he indicated he now had three animals at home.

"That will be an extra 40 Dollars as a Breeding Fee" he was told. Argue as he would that his two cats were both females and properly fixed; and the third animal was a dog; nothing would change the administrator attitude.

I learned of this when My household became a family with the Cat having a litter of three kittens. Guess, I will be visited soon. Or should I seek out the Tom cat which made my Susie in that condition and have the owner pay the breeding fee. In this case it only took one animal.

Behind the Looking Glass - In Science fiction we sometimes come across stories of parallel universe and for me, when I was going through a bad time; the Mirrors in my life was that doorway. Have you ever been in days where everything goes wrong ?. Troubles after troubles follow you and there seems to be a dark cloud over your head. You feel the weight of that cloud like a deep depression. Well, in a younger time, I walked a path between the Good of Christ, and the Evil of the World. Certainly a bad trip. But this existence of two world often got me extremely sick and depress until one day I began passing from one world to the other by way of the Looking Glass Door. When I felt everything was going wrong, from what I was attempting to do; I would walk up to a Mirror and say to myself "I am on the wrong side" and thinking that I had passed to the other side I would walk away feeling confidence everything would now change. It did... Probably because of a positive attitude. If it did not, I would think I probably fooled my self and never got pass the looking of myself to the other side and would return to the mirror. If you think this is crazy, try it when that dark cloud of depression hangs low and depression or problems seem too strong to bear.

(Of course you can also put your problems in the hand of Christ..if you know how too)

Power Failure - Hydo Companies should give a day or two free electricity following a power failure. Even if it was only a short (several Minutes) outage. WHY?

It is invisible to them how much they force us to be depending on electricity and then how much our lives are completely turned up side down when everything loses their power.

The WORST is being late for work because the Clock radio lost it time and now the alarm does not sound at 6:30 for you to start your day. This fear of losing the time due to a power failure hangs heavy on us all until we install a backup clock of a battery type.

Life is impossible for some people who are completely invisible to the technical needs of this sort of problem. Unable to re program the VCR and the CD radio, these individuals, after trying unsuccessfully, simple do without.

Yesterday, I made a regular re-program visit to a friend. She had removed the VCR cable from the TV and connected the TV antenna directly instead of reprogramming the VCR. She no longer listen to the radio because all stations (1, 2, 3,) did not work. Of course, who remembers the numbers of the radio station 101.9 when you are use to using the programs

Avoid Questions with Buzzword Answers . It was always felt that communications was to relay facts which would answer a question. Sometime, the answer has been so arranged to make you feel you do not know what you are asking and therefore not ask another question. BUZZwords were high tech terms used in an industry to communicate that the person was aware of new ideas. However, the use of detail technical terms to answer an layman's question is also a Buzzword answer.

Invisible, is this method of replys to questions which staff are trained to give to customers. Anyone with a little insight would have seen that this question arrives often and the staff are trained to reply. (I believe that the individual themselves does not know what they have said )

These answers often are so arranged to not answer the question but throw a confusing comment at the customer, thereby making them feel stupid or unwilling to question the situration further.

Here, we have a major Cable distribution company called V..... which also has video cassette sales and rental outlets every where through the province.

As a member, with the small yellow ident card used for scanning and rentals; I went into this second V.... store to check out and rent videos which might have been different. These two stores are about 200 yards apart, between two lights on the same major street .

Advised, by the new store, that they do not use the ident cards and it is necessary to open a seperate account with them if I wish to rent films; I asked "Are you not V...., like the store up the street?"

"Yes our stores are owned by V.... but corporate strategy and management allows for individual controls and probably even possible francises" store is different with a different manager and administration. DRUUUUUUP.... Do I feel stupid?

I should have known that. Was I thinking the same staff works at the two stores and walked down the street every hour. But the question was "Are you not both the outlets of the the same company.
