Ha ha ha ha! It _ **was** _ in the freezer, but now it’s lost anew! ---

Use the search function. I posted the answer to this a couple weeks ago. ---

Oh, so you’re not just psychic, but prescient? Impressive! ---

Does any of this help? You recently met with a woman, perhaps a strong one. Look near where you met her, or possibly she has it. Timing, perhaps where you were when you met her, or near a clock near that location or related to that meeting. On/near a windowsill or other opening to the air (patio table?). The floorboard of your car, or you were working on your car’s brakes and it fell near there. A bag with no fish in it? I have no idea what this means. Good luck. ---

Whoa, **Phnord Prephect,** pretty damn good! I just found it, under my computer chair. That was before I saw your post; — BUT, right before I found my vial: 1.) A woman had just come to visit me. She is indeed strong. She was sitting by the windowsill. There is only one clock in the room, on my PC. The vial was very close by. 2.) I had been texting a new friend, inviting him over for gumbo. He said, “As long as there are no fish in it.” My phone was on top of the PC. I salute you! Fnord! (great username btw.) ---

Pure coincidence, as I’m sure the ‘rational’ members of SDMB will tell you. Sorry I couldn’t be of any help. q;} ---

**picunurse:** I said “ **vial** ,” not “ **phial**!” 🆒 **Phnord Prephect:** Oh, crap, you mean you were \*joking? \* Swear to God, though, the guy really did say, “no fish in it.” Wow. I mean, what are the chances? Hmmmph, that’s what you get for tryna whoosh me! 😃 ---

It’s under the sleeping cat. It’s _always_ under the cat… Along with the TV remote And my glasses And my keys. And the other cat. ---

I’m getting a name. The letter J. John? Jake? Jennifer? Do those names mean anything to you? Not that it has anything to do with the vial, especially since you already found it—Just curious. ---

> [@brujaja](#): > > **Phnord Prephect:** Oh, crap, you mean you were \*joking? \* Swear to God, though, the guy really did say, “no fish in it.” Wow. I mean, what are the chances? Hmmmph, that’s what you get for tryna whoosh me! 😃 No, that actually was me trying to find your vial. More specifically, throwing the I-ching (sky over wind, for those who care) and interpreting it subconsciously, with a leaning towards finding the ‘mysterious item’ of someone I’d never met, but could make certain inferences about (IE: you probably had a windowsill, etc). Of course, everybody knows there’s no such thing as psychic powers. As I’m sure the members of this board will be more than willing to explain to you, if you were to ask. The fact that the bit about the brakes on your car had nothing whatsoever to do with anything proves that, you see. I also left out the part about wrapping a melon with river willows, and the bit about the emaciated pig leaping in earnest. While it was possible you had melon recently, I figured that the odds of you wrapping it in river willows were pretty slim. And the less said about your ‘emaciated pig’ the better, I think. You know what I mean! 😃 The fact that the bits I chose to report did, in fact, point towards your missing item should hold no significance whatsoever, and may in addition have been entirely imaginary. Just remember: If Science Can’t Prove It, It Doesn’t Exist! PS: The bit about the bag of no fish? That really did have me puzzled. 😕 ---

If there were any psychics here, they would have posted where to find it before you posted it was lost. 😃 ---

Since I have genuine psychic powers, I’m too busy screwing Victoria Secret models on a big pile of money to help you. Sorry.
