I do that all the time (and I'm a little arthritic girl) just by trying to pull the key off my place's damned keyhole.

the thing that disturbs me most about your original post, flatty is your wife's reaction to it. you accidentally bent a key, and your wife burst into tears? does that seem a bit of an overreaction to anyone else? i know next to nothing about metals, or the pressures involved in bending or twisting a key, but if a friend of mine bent a key on accident while in a store, tears would not be a natural reaction for me. what kind of person now thinks of her husband as "a bit weird" simply for bending a key (or three keys in a freakin' decade)

all great truths began as blasphemies.

yes, i am aware that i do not use capital letters. it is discrimination, and discrimination is wrong. period.

Sumnihil...she is very emotional at the moment, there is more to this story, strange happenings seem to follow me around, the day before I predicted in a dream a beaching of a large ferry local to us. I must add that I wish this had not happened to me, I'm not interested in the paranormal or stuff like that, I was after a logical explaination thats all

Flatty( most definately sane)

The wife thinking I'm a bit weird was guilding the Lily a bit!

Erm, which ferry was that? Was it written up in the media and if so, do you have a link? Was it the one in NY a few years ago?

Strange things happen to all of us. An event happens and you say, "I'll be damned, I saw that coming!" because in a way, you did. You 'had a feeling' that something might happen to that shoddy ferry sooner or later, and it was probably based on personal observation of the ferry's condition or perhaps the way the crew handled it. And you, as we all do, stashed it in the back of your mind to be brought forth by event. You may have even gotten it second-hand from a conversation.

I had a nasty feeling, just before the last election, that Bush was going to skate off with it. This, against the better judgement of almost everyone, including myself. I, sadly, was right. I got the 'feeling' because it seemed to me that Kerry wasn't enough of a scrapper, and the thought didn't jell until the day before election day. Nothing paranormal about it.

Yeah, I know. :embarassed: I looked at his profile, but after I'd posted. I should have edited I guess, but it didn't seem all that important.

Ah well...

Actually, it sounds to me as if you are searching for exactly the opposite. You seem to be looking for some confirmation of the "paranormal".

I predict things all the time. Many many times they come true. Nothing the least bit out of the ordinary about it however. Simple observation and taking note of patterns. The human mind, if you didn't know already, has a great capacity for pattern recognition.

And welcome to the SFN.
