May have been an unconsecrated car. Get a Priest to sprinkle holy water over it, and fit a crucifix as a bonnet/hood ornament.

I'm not considering that somehow I'm counting steps in my head. Nor is it via cues from time-of-day etc.
Or the lady canon herself was unconsecrated?May have been an unconsecrated car. Get a Priest to sprinkle holy water over it, and fit a crucifix as a bonnet/hood ornament.
OTOH I once tipped a rucksack out on a hostel bed in front of several other people and a condom fell out. My hard-won respectability was up in smoke on the spot.

But how? I could walk / jog 8,000 steps, over a whole day, and perhaps be tired-enough to feel as if I must've walked nearly 10,000. But I've not....and my weird pre-emptive 'spider sense' about the fitness bracelet doesn't falsely-alarm me.Not suggesting you are counting as such but after using it for a while surely your body will 'know' when it's about to go off?
This may seem like a dumb question but I have to ask: during that time, did you actually use the notebook?I've posted before about my missing money. Searched everywhere, it turned up in a notebook beside my bed, poking out and unmissable, even though I'd been looking for months.
Oooops - the implication was not there I assure you, your Eeeness. I quite admit to being elderly meself tho'.

That's the whole point. I shouldn't know that I've travelled 10,000 steps. But (when I have walked, say, 9,995) something inside me says "that bracelet is going to go buzzbuzz/wiggle-waggle...." and it then DOES, fractional seconds after I've had the notion. I've no clues / cues to prompt this expectation.
And this is not a case of repeated unfulfilled false expectations. As in expecting-it-to-go-off-all-the-time-and-then-when-it-does-Wow....
If it's not going at alert me, I know that too. If I feel it's just about to alert me, then it just does. Maybe not explaining this perfectly....does anyone follow my rather-rambling exposition?
Planes on regular flights that aren't on approach or take off paths will (if not separated by tens of miles) be separated by some hundreds of feet in altitude to avoid the risk of collision.
No. I wish it was that easy.Does your 'fitbit' do something just *before* it buzzes, that you pick up on, but that's so quick it's almost unnoticeable?

... Basically the ones going in one direction all fly at the same height. (or maybe some multiple, I can't remember) and those traveling at 90 degrees fly at this height minus a set number of feet altitude. The ones going in the opposite direction (say South) are at minus twice this altitude distance, likewise the ones traveling West are similarly spaced with regard to the ones going East.
So in theory the only planes at your height should be traveling in the same direction, and there should be little chance of collision. ....
This doesn't apply in the same way to VFR flights. Hence the need for the Quadrature rule.
I even wondered if the fitbit *might* emit some Bluetooth radiofrequency energy, just prior to alarming, and that (somehow) I was detecting that. But I'm not convinced that it does- nor am I a strict believer in pseudoscientific 'electrosensitivity'.
However- I *am* open-minded as to all possible explanations. Because I think there's some degree of inexplicable actual perception going on....
I have mentioned this before in respect of the telephone at my previous house. I always seemed to sense when the telephone was about to ring, and wondered whether I was detecting some radiofrequency emission prior to the ring.No. I wish it was that easy.

Yep there's nothing like a good bit of self delusion. I'm 21 or 27 depending on what day it is.I'm pushing it a bit myself ,but I don't admit to it
Maybe the heat from the planes in front had altered conditions enough to prevent the last plane producing them,
a difference in height of only a few hundred ft can make the difference.
One thing I have wondered about is that when conditions are just right you can not only see the con trail
but also a darker twin stretching out in front of the aircraft, it cant be there so must be some sort of optical
thing maybe a mirage or even just a shadow.

Semi-consciously / sub-consciously, that would be nil. That's why I'm finding this such an enescapably-intriguing personal phenomenon. No perceptable level, or instances, of false preemption.As in, how many times have you thought about it about to buzz/wiggle and it hasn't done so?
So (theoretically) you could have overlooked the money sticking out because you weren't actually engaging with the notebook. It's easy to stop seeing things in plain sight, because your brain (I believe ) prioritizes according to what you actually do with stuff. Maybe if the notebook itself had been important to you, your brain would have noticed more about it, including that money was sticking out of it. Just a thought.No. I have half a dozen notebooks up there, this one was on top, but I hadn't used any of them.
