How to find a lost cycling jacket

[F8th637]

Must be Nargles.

You have those, too? My husband likes to call them Gnomes. Apparently, we have a colony of them that come from different regions of the house. We have the Kitchen Gnomes who like to fill the sink with glasses and leave the cabinet doors open. They also don't throw away empty food and drink containers. The Bathroom Gnomes forget to flush the toilet sometimes. Glad I'm not the only one.

To the person who can tell me where my car keys are.
Fortunately, I have two vehicles.

It is Friday the 13th.

Oh, we have one of those. He's quite short, would forget his nose if it wasn't attached to his face, and goes by the moniker "son".

I find it's preferable to lose a jacket with a cell phone in the pocket. That way, you can call it to find it

I want a clapper on my keys. I've lost a jacket and I think my classroom keys are in the pocket because both have been missing for about 2 weeks now...

I thought I was the only one with the Kitchen Gnomes!
I also have the Clothes Gnomes- these like to take the dirty clothes that "someone" wore to work and strew them around the apartment, not in the laundry bin where they belong.(usually strategically placed from the front door to the bedroom)

Moving works for me:
Pack and move everything. Don't know where anything is for a year.
Find as you unpack
Remodel, pack everything again
Find as rooms go back together

I once went crazy searching for my favorite sweatshirt. After a couple of weeks of my tearing the house apart my 10 yr old daughter finally 'fessed up and told me she had loaned it to a friend. I did get it back, and 22 years later it is still my favorite.

While building our house, we had to move to a duplex for a few months. The whole time we lived there my hubby complained that it seemed like he hardly had any t-shirts and underwear. On a side note...hubby likes to have lots and lots of these items! I think he thought I had thrown a bunch of them out!! Anyway, he made a trip to the mall and purchased more after looking through all the stored boxes in the garage and giving me the run down numerous times! When we moved in to our new house and put our washer in dryer in the laundry room, we discovered the missing clothes were in our clothes dryer the entire 6 months (the duplex had it's own appliances).

Our cat used to spend her time (most of the night, actually, to gauge from the noise) collecting erasers, pens, clothespegs, balls, hairbands, gidgets and gadgets and geegaws, oh, and her toys of course - batting them around the livingroom, chasing them down the stairs, and then finally herding them in under the (very low) chest of drawers in the downstairs hallway

OK.. I can't resist this one.
We had a cat that went to surgery for a stomach foreign body... she had over thirty pony-tail-holder thingy's balled up in her stomach! The owners flinged them across the room and they say the kitty "retrieved" them... yeah! They weren't really keeping track on that one!

I couldn't help but ask them if they asked themselves "where are the pony-tail-holders" when they kept having to go to the store and buy more!

oh-oh-oh - poor cat!

Ours never swallowed one, to my knowledge. She just asserted her title of Chief Assassin by killing them, thoroughly. Several times
