I always wonder about that, too, and also the spice cabinet. I am careful to wipe off the spice jars before I replace them, keep the pepper grinders on their own tray, etc., yet, there are always spice speckles on the shelf. How????

This makes me wonder about open shelving in the kitchen. I love my cabinet doors! They keep dust and grease off the things we eat off of! Who wants to drink from a glass that has been setting on a shelf gathering dust for a couple weeks, or put mashed potatoes in a bowl that has been looking pretty on the shelf for a week or two?

I always wonder how often people who favor open shelves dust the rest of their homes. I have one black table. Oh, my, I swear dust collects there faster than anywhere else, sort of like black is a dust magnet, making the rest of the room dust free because all the dust is on that table! Right?

I have wondered where do dead birds go. When a bird dies of old age or a heart attack where do they go? Why aren't our streets littered with dead birds. Do they just disintegrate as they fall out of the sky or do they fly into a forest and then die? But, I never see dead birds on the forest trails where I run either. One of life's little mysteries.

Hmmm...I have seen birds die that fly into our glass. Very sad. When the cats bring me "presents" I just toss them into the field. I figure a crow or flies or a busy army of ants or bacteria will take care of the carcass. Mother nature is pretty good at recycling...

If one sock can disappear in the wash (where does it go?), are entire pairs disappearing and we just don't realize it because there's no evidence left behind?

Why does my dog gobble up her food if I put one cup of kibble in her bowl. But if I put two cups of kibble, she won't touch it until the next day?

Why did my dog seek out the newest rug? And why a rug when there are miles of hardwoods and tile.

Why does the item I loved, desired, craved and finally got last year, seem eons ago?

Who uses up all the toilet paper? In 3 bathrooms?

Why does the cat insist on walking across the bed, leaving a trail of dimpled footsteps, the minute I finish making it?

Why does the cat always hack up a hairball on a rug or piece of furniture? What's wrong with the hardwood floors?!

How is it the traffic lights always know when I'm running late and all purposely go red for me?

Why is it that if I decide to sit in the sun, even on a very clear day, the one single puff of cloud in the sky will shade my little patch of earth?

And the universal one...why doesn't the car ever make "that noise" when the mechanic is there?

How do my dogs still have so much fur on their bodies when I keep vacuuming it off the floor, cleaning it out of the washer and dryer filters, cleaning o my clothes, etc.?

Does the vet really think they can get an accurate blood pressure reading on a freaked out cat?

You can do a bp on a cat???

How does the phone know to ring just as I am dozing off for a nap -- every single time??

And I have wondered about the dead bird thing, too. Some of them must die of old age.

Oh, and why does my hair always look its best on the day I am going to have it cut?

Why is hair beautiful when it is attached to our head, but gross and practically untouchable when it is in the shower drain?

How can I leave my husband at home alone for several days while I go visit a friend and there are three squares of TP in the bathroom and he doesn't need to change the roll while I'm gone?

I have a answer to the sock question. Or actually another question - have you ever noticed that dryer lint is the same color as your missing socks?

They really do have tiny BP cuffs, but what cat wouldn't freak at someone trying to put it on them. They may use them in surgery, but on an alert cat, I think it is futile.

Has anyone ever seen a baby pigeon? Or do they just emerge fully grown from the egg? Not that I'm anxious for more pigeons, just curious.

FYI squab or baby pigeons are not so cute.

Baby pigeons are very well taken care of by mama. Unlike any other bird, they are not 'kicked' out of the nest like other species. They don't 'leave' until they learn to fly on their own. If I'm wrong you can blame it on the internet. I never looked it up on snoopes(?)to find out if it's factual, but thought it interesting and want to believe it.

I just ordered my xmas cards from shutterfly. They're on their way. Woohoo! So why is it NOW that I get a promo code from Panera's for $20 off my shutterfly order?!?

How do they know which products are my favorite when they decide to discontinue a product line? Why do they bring them back (a certain lip gloss I'm looking at you) after I've spent $100 on trial and error for a replacement? Mostly though, the favorite item is gone for good and can never be exactly replaced by the runner up.

Only once did I see pigeons feeding their young on the ground - and it was almost impossible to tell the difference. Patty cakes is right - they stay in the nest twice as long (40 days) as most birds.

hhireno - I agree with favorites being discontinued!

Can you share the name/brand lip gloss you like?

Why is it that, whenever we get back from the grocery store, we remember one more thing we should've bought?

Why is it I always check for my car keys after I've locked the car door?

I've often wondered why my kids get sick in the middle of the night or on weekends when their pediatrician's office is closed.

Why does a bill always come in the mail the day after I finish paying bills?

Annie, I'm with you on the refrigerator. Why do I always spill coffee, tomato sauce or something equally stain-making on myself the day I wear something light-colored?

The grocery store where I like to shop just did a massive reorganization. So, not only can I no longer find stuff but it turns out they also took the opportunity to discontinue some of my favourite brands of things such as tuna, pasta, hummus.

I have a good thing - I run at 7:30 am with a group of people 3 x a week, always the same days and it is amazing how often it starts to rain just as we *finish* our run at 8:45. That's right, I said, finish and not start. We are mystified by it but we don't want to question it too loudly.

Why do worrisome phone or email messages from your doctor/kids teacher/boss arrive after business hours on Friday, meaning you spend the whole weekend worrying before you can follow up on Monday morning?

BTW, I have used these guys to make a discontinued lipstick and I was very pleased:
