I'm beginning to think there's a black hole in my hotel room, or else whatever sucks in single socks in the dryer. I used my pocket knife to cut off some tags yesterday morning. Then later in the day, I could not find the knife anywhere. I finally used my nail clippers to cut off more tags. Then last night I had the TV on and had been using the remote control. I went to get ready for bed, came back and couldn't find the remote. I looked everywhere, even under the bed and behind the furniture. No remote and no knife.

I ended up finding the buttons on the edge of the TV to change the channel, and continued searching. Then, finally I ran my hands all over the bed spread I had folded back (eewww - hotel bedspreads) and found the remote in the fold.

Still haven't found my knife.

Patti,
You and I must both be suffering with the same case of "Tool Fairies" :shocked:
Every time that I open up a toolbox; one of them wanders off with whatever 10mm wrench and phillips-head screwdriver I happen to be using. :gaah:
The only known solution: sitting down, and taking a break! :thumbup:

Well yesterday someone came into my hotel room and took my left shoe and wallet.
I could understand my wallet but why my left shoe?
... someone must have interrupted them because they threw my left shoe under the bed and put my wallet in another pair of pants.

Funny how that happens :yikes:

Roger,
Did that other pair of pants also have my 10 mm wrench?

And you know, of course, that the minute you buy a replacement for your knife (or whatever item you have lost) it will show up!!:banghead:

I have exactly the same problems. Does anyone think it might have something to do with our maturity levels? :roflblack:

Ain't that the truth? I may look for one at Bass Pro before I go home. It was just a little Swiss Army knife, but I liked it because it had a little scissors, tweezers, etc.

Yeah, I know. There was a time when I wouldn't be caught dead wearing pink, but I am particular about how my shoes fit, and when I found these, they didn't have another color, so I bought them.

My definition of "Gettin' Lucky" is walking into a room and remembering what I m looking for.

I went to the Bass Pro Outlet store and bought a replacement for my lost Swiss Army knife. It's a tiny little Gerber multi-tool, so if my pocket knife turns up, at least I'll have a variety of tools. The guy showing the knives to me pointed out that the knife tip on the Gerber was blunt, so you can't accidentally stick yourself with the end. I was thinking, "What? Do I look like I'm in kindergarden?"

So I ask to see another knife that would be easier to open. The guy handed it to me opened and I closed it and then got it about 1/2 open and stuck the side of my thumb with it! :opps: He asks if I'd like a band-aid. Since I take blood-thinners I think that's a good idea. He can't find one, so I go the the ladies room, rinse it and hold a paper towel on it. While I'm in there I hear on the PA, "Code 13, knife counter. Code 13, knife counter." Great. How embarrassing. I go back to the counter and there's another employee there waiting with a band-aid. I asked if he's a doctor. No, but he is a paramedic!!

At least they didn't call an ambulance. :gaah:

Not sure if this will help:

In my 50's I started "losing" things also. The memory of where I "lost" them was short and it really upset me. Now in my 60's I still "lose" things and get PO'd about it but I forget about being upset very quickly. Result = happy disillusionment and enjoyment ryde to the store to replace it.

I just worry in my 70's I will "Lose my way home."

It's like that crazy people who don't know they're crazy don't have a problem!

If you lose your way home; it only means that the ride to get there will be longer! :2thumbs:
