• I am easily amused, and I often amuse myself!!

  
  

  This morning I decided to kick start my appetite and treat myself to breakfast at Harvey's. Probably a good idea since I had no coffee cream or sugar (ye gods!) and very little in the way of food in the apartment.

  
  

  My coffee came in the usual paper cup, but this time with a difference. There was a little cardboard cuff attached. Now this is where I show my stunning ability to be stumped by the simplist of things. (I shouldn't really admit to these foibles!).

  
  

  

  
  

  For the life of me I couldn't figure out why they would stick this cuff around my cup when it just wobbled around and made it harder to hold. I thought it was silly of them to put a large cuff around a small cup and that it was a sure recipe for me to spill on myself.

  
  

  Then it hit me in a blinding flash of brilliance, I am sure anyone watching would have seen a light bulb suspended over my head! ........   

  
  

  Push The Cuff Up!!

  
  

  Yes, I managed to figure out all by myself that if you push the cuff up the cup it stops it from wobbling around and makes it less hot to the touch. Welcome misslill to 2005!

  
  

  Of course I could use my recent illness as an excuse. I could blame it on side effects of the antibiotics, but anyone who knows me knows that isn't the case!! Sometimes I just don't get it, sometimes it just takes me a little longer!!

  
  

  Along the same vein - I dropped my cel phone in the toilet (don't ask and yes the water was clean!) and it still works!! Isn't technology wonderful!!
