#7 Since we went off topic already ...
No, Shipman, but I agree, the extra kiddie blocks may have appeared at an entirely different location. When we moved out of the place, these episodes stopped. Perhaps my daughter got a better anchoring in reality she is in as she became a tad older.
I admit that this trait may be inherited. I tend to lose things, but ultimately, I find them in unusual places. As if someone borrowed them, but could not return them to their original location.
I also had a bizarre thing happenign to me when I was about 13, in the workshop class (that was a part of the elementary education curriculum; grades 1-9).
We were to make a bird house. Everyone got the same piece of plywood with a pre-drilled hole, a steel ruler, a saw, an angle, and a blueprint.
I measured one part, marked it and cut out the piece, then next, and so on. When assembling it together, the pieces did not match, it was all crooked, one side was about half an inch shorter than other, same with the narrow sides.
I asked the teacher for a new piece of supply material. He called me an idiot and retard, and said he will show me how to do it.
He took my ruler, a new piece of plywoood and marked a piece, cut out. Then next, then next.
With an arrogant smirk, he started to put the pieces together. It was all crooked. One side was about half an inch shorter than other, same with the narrow sides. He looked at the ruler, the smirk on his face gone. It was close to the bell ring, so he said: "Next time, pay more attention", and gave me a "C". Later on, I never saw that ruler in the worskhop again, it had a sort of etching-like dent in its short edge--I would recognize it. |
An Iranian official charged with hunting for three Iranian diplomats and a reporter who went missing in Lebanon more than two decades ago has said he believes they could still be alive and in an Israeli jail, the student news agency ISNA said Friday. "According to our latest information, the four Iranians have been seen in the Zionist regime's jails. If it is said they have been martyred, it is only to cover up the Zionist regime involvement in this issue," said Raed Mousavi, a member of an official follow-up committee charged with the case. He said the information that the four had been transferred to Israel came from someone released in a prisoner exchange between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hizbullah movement. "He had seen the four diplomats in Israeli prisons in 1988," said the official, who is also the father of one of the missing men. He added he believed Israel may have hoped to exchange them for missing Israeli airman Ron Arad. The four Iranians disappeared in northern Lebanon in July 1982.
