Does anyone know where I can pick up some magnetic stir bars? I'm honestly not even sure what the common term for them is here in the States.
They're those little magnetic "pills" used for mixing liquids with a magnetic laboratory stirrer. I feel like I've been scouring the internet all day long, but I just can't seem to track them down anywhere. I suppose I might just be using the wrong terminology when searching our local suppliers... maybe they go by a different name in American labs?

Off to hunt for some treasure - Military gear...

I mean, I honestly have my doubts that you'll be able to find any for such a low price. If we're talking about genuine, well-preserved pieces from WWII—the kind that still have their original serial numbers intact—they usually go for somewhere between $1,000 and maybe even up to $3,000 per item.$0.00.

It seems like every single clock I own is running about five or six minutes fast.
I’ll pull into the parking lot at work, and my car clock will say something like 7:45 AM. Then, I’ll walk into the building, grab a quick coffee at the local Starbucks, step outside for a second to light up a cigarette... and then I realize it’s actually only 7:45 AM right now. 😁

God, I am just so incredibly frustrated right now! ☕

It looks like The New York Times has headed out on vacation. I suppose they won't be back for another two weeks or so. ☕

Just to clear the air right off the bat, I’m not really a big believer in astrology. I mean, it’s not like I follow it or anything, or spend my time reading those columns... I did happen to read some of the general stuff about being an Aquarius, mostly just because I was curious to see if any of those traits actually fit within my own personality. And, I guess, I found myself nodding along to quite a few of them.

As for all that talk about ghosts, astral projection, or those other supernatural phenomena you mentioned experiencing, I’ve honestly never had any kind of encounter with that sort of thing in my life.

Brenda Wood71 said:(...) when people with that sign map out their lives, they actually go out and make it happen (...)

That part feels pretty spot on, actually. I definitely see myself reflected in those general descriptions of an Aquarius. But then again, when I really sit back and think about it deeply, the reality of my life feels like a completely different movie playing in my head—and honestly, it’s probably a pretty great blockbuster. 😁
