Lab Testing

-
Here at Slowlane Labs, we are always working to improve your quality of life. Recently we conducted several tests in the hopes of offering time saving solutions to those of you who feel pressed for time and I'm here to share the results with you. These results have been compiled with several previous ones so that those of you who never were fortunate enough to come across them can now benefit from the high quality work that goes on daily here at Slowlane Labs.

Activities that can be accomplished simultaneously without lengthening the total time elapsed:

Reading homework while eating breakfast
Putting on socks and shoes while riding in a moving vehicle
Practicing dance routines while sorting laundry
Blow drying your hair while brushing your teeth


Activities that cannot be accomplished simultaneously without lengthening the total time elapsed:

Eating a breakfast bagel while showering
Putting on eye make up while riding in a moving vehicle
Painting nails while in a moving vehicle
Eating lunch while calling on a voice activated customer service hotline.


Until more results are ready for publishing,

Ooo. That could get me a bunch more things that I could experiment with. What things can be accomplished simultaneously as riding on a motorcycle?

Stone of Help

For the longest time I thought “Ebenezer” was a cup. Not just any cup, mind you, one of those old drinking vessels that might also be called goblet or chalice. My reasoning, you see, was all based on the hymn, “Here I raise mine Ebenezer, hither by thy help I’m come.” To my little girl ears, it sounded like someone was proposing a toast, glass in hand to having made it so far. I know better now, but I still feel as if I am far more likely to toast how far I’ve made it than to set a large stone on end. But truthfully, I’m not very likely to do either. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not slighting the role God has had in bringing me as far as I am. And it’s not a lack of gratitude that turns me into being one of the nine lepers who never returned to thank Jesus for his healing. (At least, not always.) Instead, I’ve found that many times I don’t want to draw attention to what God has done for me because I worry it will make others feel as if I am intimating that I am a favor

The Crazy Market

There is a place here in Beijing that I (not so) affectionately call The Crazy Market. Imagine four floors of wall to wall shops, one shop selling the same thing that 15 other shops are selling, all displayed with bright colors and lights and each shop having two or three people who call out "Hello! What are you looking for?" "Hello! We give you good price!" "Hello! How many coats you want buy?" "Hello! We have your size shoe!" (This one makes me want to stop and say "Oh, I greatly doubt it.") "Hello! Nice pearls for you!" If you so much as look at an item, it is immediately assumed that you will buy it and so they call out "What is your highest price? We give you good discount." The only exception to this is the very bottom floor that is filled with every imaginable and unimagineable sea creature and various sea creature parts in various stages of life. This serves as a good aroma which frequently makes its way up t

The Right Trousers

-
Someone once told me that a friend of theirs received a package from an anonymous person that contained a pair of pants inside. It was mailed from across the country, yet the pair of pants was the right size and style for this particular person. Now I consider that to be a great mystery. But I also consider it a mystery that I wouldn't mind happening to me. Because, you see, playing with children wreaks havoc on my pants. Especially if I have the misfortune to sit down on some unknown substance which then leaves a very unfortunate colored stain in a very, very unfortunate spot. I may have to consider some creative patch work, but that, too, has its problems. I say this because I have another pair of pants that developed a hole the size of Montana near one of the back pockets. (Please do not speculate on the size of the pants based on the size of the hole.) My most beautiful sister, in what I thought was a display of pure magnanimous affection, bought me a couple of patches to fix t
