OMG. All is lost. I found a library book in the freezer.

[murielm99]

It is due tomorrow. I was looking everywhere for that book, and I had given up, thinking I would have to pay for it. I found it there while looking for something else. Duh - who expects to find a book in the freezer?

This must be the ultimate senior moment. And I am only 61.

[rug]

1. One must ask. How did it get there?

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Didn't Joey keep a copy of "Little Women" in the freeze on "Friends?"

[rug]

5. I don't know but I'm going to look on Hulu.

[Dr. Strange]

8. You're such a geek.

And it was a copy of "The Shining" that he kept in the freezer--cause it scared him.

:blush:

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Oh, yeah! That sounds much more plausible. (But didn't Little Women at least make him cry?)

[Dr. Strange]

16. Yeah, I think he put it in the fridge because he didn't want one of the characters to die.

:)

[cemaphonic]

23. The funny thing about that Shining bit s that he's talking about things that are only in the movie

Bet that cheesed off King.

[Dr. Strange]

33. Ha! I didn't know that.

[cemaphonic]

36. not everything - he referred to the book's ending (which was different than the movie)

but also several things that were movie only, like the creepy twin girls and "all work and no play..."

Somebody pointed that out on a huge "Shining - Book vs. Movie" flamewar I once read, and it stuck with me for some reason.

[Iggo]

25. "Little Women" went in the freezer later in the episode...

...because Joey was starting to get a bad feeling about the sick girl.

[Iggo]

24. Yep.

EDITED to remove Cujo video reference. I think that may have been a different episode.

It's beeen a looooong time, man.

[tk2kewl]

22. .

[SoxFan]

3. Even I have never done that. Game over. You win!

[styersc]

4. If your missing an ice tray....

...you may want to check out the fiction section. Just sayin'.

[murielm99]

17. I will have to tell the librarian that tomorrow. n/t

[pokerfan]

6. That's a common method of saving water-damaged books

http://lifehacker.com/5488295/save-water+damaged-books-docs-and-photos-by-putting-them-in-the-freezer">Save Water-Damaged Books, Docs, and Photos by Putting Them in the Freezer

Ever drop a book in the tub? Don't despair, you can save it. Put it into a plastic bag (not vacuum seal) and place in the freezer. The dehydration process, which keeps things cold, will pull the excess water out of the book. Takes up to 2 weeks depending on the size of the book. Just tell your friend that you aren't done with it yet.

[Kali]

10. wow good idea

thanks for that!

[GreenPartyVoter]

31. We're actually trying that tonight. Have several books that were apparently left outside

all winter in what was not a water-tight container.

Will let you know how it turns out! :)

[struggle4progress]

7. I found my wallet in the freezer once, when I was only in my forties. So naturally I want to know

how you got into my house and why you thought my wallet belonged in the freezer :grr:

[VOX]

9. Ah, the simple pleasure of curling up before the fireplace with a good frozen book.

I'm going to put "Great Expectations" on ice right now, so it'll be good and frosty tonight.

Thanks for the tip, murielm99! :toast: :)

[Taverner]

11. Do what you must...

Party on...

[whistler162]

12. Farenheit -451?

[rkennedy_68]

13. whoa

what are the odds of that?

[Flaxbee]

15. OK, this is too funny.

I am notoriously ditzy and that has only been exacerbated these last two years b/c I've been under extreme stress; when I can't find things, I check the fridge.

I stand by you proudly, as someone who has put keys, wallet, boxes of kleenex, etc. in the fridge :D Solidarity!

[elshiva]

18. Thank you Good, Good Loungers.

That is too, too funny. :rofl: :rofl:

[Lucian]

19. I'm gonna be screwed if I ever put my Kindle in the freezer.

[HopeHoops]

20. It wasn't by any chance "Alive" now, was it?

You know, the one about the plane that crashed in the Andes Mountains?

[murielm99]

21. No. It was "The Lacuna," by Barbara Kinsolver.

"Alive" would have been a good choice, though.

[tigereye]

26. April Fools? No?

:D I've never done that- I have found em in weird places,though.

[murielm99]

27. Not April Fools.

Just absent-minded.

[tigereye]

34. no, I hear ya- I put the black jelly beans somewhere as I was spring cleaning

and I'm not sure where! :rofl:

[meeshrox]

28. I'm 28 and do shit like that all the time!

I put the milk away in the dishwasher once!

I think I stress myself out too much...need more yoga!

[Orrex]

29. If you were a phony psychic, you cold do a cold reading

[donheld]

30. Soul On Ice?

[zx_3500]

32. whoa

that's so freaky

[arbusto_baboso]

35. Was there a lawn gnome in there, too?

Maybe he just needed something to read.

[vixengrl]

37. I was only a teenager when I found a washcloth in the freezer--

thought about it a bit, and then fished a packet of frozen broccoli out of the hamper. (Perhaps there is a box of ice cream bars on a bookshelf?) It can happen to anyone when distracted/multi-tasking.

[mnhtnbb]

38. Quick. Unwrap anything in foil! You might have put some cash in there!
