About falling out of the attic:

It's true. I know first hand. The house my husband and I bought has an unfinished attic. My dad and hubby were up in the attic cleaning out the old insulation to replace with new. I was 8 and a half months pregnant and sitting in a recliner crocheting. That's when my husband performed a magic act. There was a loud noise, the room filled with smoke (or plaster dust, really, but smoke is more magician-y) and suddenly there was a leg hanging from my ceiling.

Everything in my living room was covered in dust, and I was sent out the front door into the chilly November night, coughing, in my big man-jammies (ALL pregnant women wear big man-jammies as much as possible when they're that far along!). When I went back inside, there was a person-shaped outline on the chair in which I'd been sitting; some of the chair was covered in dust and a person-shaped portion was clean. And did I say everything in my living room was covered in dust? That included me!

And MollyGrue has reminded me of another thing:
Non-dairy creamer does many strange things. First, if you open the packet and start pooring slowly, then blow it onto a flame you get a satisfying fire-show. Second, if you take a deep breath just after having done so, you get a lung-full of non-dairy creamer and ash.

In my youth I had long, fine, thick, wavy hair. I got glandular fever when I was 19. It took me a long time to recover, and by the time I had, the top four inches of my hair had grown in thin, limp and straight. And that's the way it has been ever since.

As for things that don't work on morning sickness... ginger, dry crackers, tea, Vit B12, anti-nausea medicine. All of them made me throw up. In fact, I felt sick for weeks after the babies were born. My *&(&^% system had got used to feeling sick.

Has anyone had the placebo effect WORK? I've tried lots of things that I was CONVINCED would work because the doctor, chemist or whoever swore they would. They didn't, adn they were the REAL thing. I WANT THE PLACEBO EFFECT.

Re- the cell phone in the coffee thingy, a friend of mine dropped his in the toilet. (Apparently fell out of his back pocket)...moving right along....

Because it was still under contract for another year of monthly payments he really wanted to fix it. Someone at the dealership (who knew it was completely gone) joked about sitting it in a jug of Metho overnight and waddya know? Never worked better.
