Not to mention extra feet for the missing socks in the dryer.
That's
Those are the ones.
Do you lose your Sharpies? Where I come from a Sharpie is a black or red (usually) permanent marker
Those are the ones.
...yes, those would be BOO-bies....
I don't lose all my sharpies, only the ones with the good points on them. Every time I go to use one, all I can find are the ones that create a 2" wide letter stroke when you write with them.
I'm going to tell you something weird. So this is news how? No, really. My mother told me that if you lose something that you take a minute to sit down, relax and be still, you then very politely ask the "Angels of Lost Things" to show you where what you are looking for is, then lo and behold you find it. It's pert near spooky how often this works.
Thanks. I do them slowly, however and a lot of scribbling on spare paper!You do crossword puzzles in pen? I'm impressed!
That would, to practising Catholics be a prayer to St. Jude. Patron saint of lost causes.
BTW just a short note to say how much I love your new Pope! He's got my heart, won it fair and square.
Didn't know that about St. Jude, thanks for the info. I suppose he is also the Patron of lost keys too, it works. Thanks!
Yes, scissors, pens, tape, measuring tapes, and socks are all items that disappear.
The flipside are those annoying items that seem to appear everywhere in my house: cat hair, the girls' hair clips, those card inserts from magazines, plastic lids from botttles, candy wrappers now that it's Halloween season, small sharp toys (I manage to find them when I am barefoot)

All the time. And now...I'm trying to remember the last item that went todash. That's how often it happens. Sometimes there's an easy resolution...like I'm looking for my cat's-paw...I've only lost a few of them. I just had the thing! Turns out I'm still carrying it in my apron. That or some other tool...nine times out of ten it's nearby. I lost an entire ship this once...spent most of the night trying to relocate it...Calderon and me kept running into these two other guys...I think they misplaced something, too. Have had things show up unannounced, as well...no clue, or almost no clue where they came from. The guy in the backseat was a real eye-opener.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I'VE NEVER DONE THAT. ALSO I'VE NEVER LOST ANYTHING.
sure, I'll go with you into this world of yours. sure.
I was on a field trip with a class of young students once, did a quick head count and couldn't find "Andrew". Started panicking saying "Where's Andrew?!!" One of the other adults said "You're holding his hand."
Yes!! And losing your keys when they are in your pocket!!!
Some items that recently went todash...the charger for my cell phone. Back from vacation, unpack the bags...one the morning after, another the next day (dirty laundry)...and I go to charge the phone. Yeesh! We left the thing? Or did Homeland Security obtuse it? Naw, just misplaced...brought it into the bathroom w/an electric shaver (for those neck areas and even w/a beard you have to trim unless you want to look like Gabby Hayes)...and then yesterday the wife is going to a craft fair and we're looking high and low for the card table. Walked by it at least three times...then the wife looks..."it's right there!" she says. Sheesh! Give me a break...it was hiding behind stuff...I say.
I don't have children.
