How fast can you lose something??

[teg]

Stopped my truck this morning, getting my stuff ready to get out, where's the keys?!?!? Checked everywhere, pockets, computer bag... (mind you... I've done this before) Was about to yell out loud when I found them in my mouth... If it gets much worst... oh, heck can it???

Oh, yeah. It could be worse. You could have swallowed the keys! :shocked:

I know I must be getting old. . .

Half the time, I can't remember to zip my pants. :confused3:

But you only have to really start worrying when you can't find what's inside anymore...

But at -20 degrees you remember real fast.

Or when you can't see your zipper anymore to zip it other than in a mirror

I few weeks ago, I became aware of a missing battery charger. I searched my shop, even went to my neighbors and searched his place plus my brother in law's shop to no avail. I gave up thinking perhaps someone stole it from my shop although nothing has ever been bothered in there by anything other than a cat or chicken. A week or so goes by and then one day I walked into my boat / lawnmower storage area which I had thoroughly searched several times a few weeks ago and low and behold there right on a shelf sat my battery charger. NOW I know that I looked there and it wasn't there, for sure it wasn't. Those pesky little people (you know the ones that live with us but we cant see them) have been at it again.

No, the battery charger just went into invisible stealth mode. Happens all the time.

Times a thousand. That works every time.

Or if you lose something. The best thing to do is just stop looking for it. The thing your looking for will usually show up when your not looking for it. lol

I misplaced a hammer last night while removing some plaster and lath boards in the bathroom of the house I'm remodeling.

I searched everywhere for that hammer last night. Well after about 5 minutes of searching for the hammer I gave up and went to my truck and got my other hammer.

Well when I walked back into the bathroom to remove some more lath and plaster. I noticed the hammer I lost was sitting on the floor next to the toilet. lol And I had looked right in that spot. How I didn't notice it. I'm not sure. lol

I found the hammer I lost after going out and getting the other one.

Your lucky, had I walked out to the barn to get another hammer, I would have been standing in the barn try to remember why I came out to the barn.

Sometimes I get a wrong image in my mind of what I'm searching for looks like, and when the real item doesn't match that image I don't find it. For example, if I'm looking for a red handled screwdriver, and the missing one actually has a wooden handle, I don't see it. I have to step back and question myself about what I'm really looking for, and be open to the possibility that the thing looks different than I expect...

I've thought at times maybe, at my age, I was losing my mind. But it's encouraging to hear that many of you have the same problems I have.:laughing:

Not so sure, Bird. At this point I'm convinced I HAVE lost my mind, or at least some of it! :laughing:
