What I don’t understand if why someone doesn’t invent a simple kit to make things findable, perhaps through a remote that creates a small alarm sound on the item so we can follow the sound. This would be ideal for the things people lose the most – keys, glasses, TV remote, camera. Don’t need one for the mobile phone – you can just dial the number (if it isn’t turned off).

Thanks! Glad I’m not the only one.

That’s funny. I have a tendency to lose expensive sunglasses as well. I currently have a cheap pair that I’ve had for 3 years and lost 2 expensive pairs in the last 6 months. Anyway, I’m new to your blog and it’s pretty cool.

I can relate to library books. I had to stop going to the library for awhile because there was always at least one missing book. I would find them in the older kids’ rooms months later in strange out of the way places. That could be my fault for checking out about 15-20 books at a time (mostly books for me to read to my little one).

That’s great that you found your keys!

I had something like that happen recently, in my case it was a library book. I’m still looking for it. I have no clue where I set it down. I know it happened while I went on a remove items from my house frenzy.

LOL great quote! That happens to me, too. I get a brilliant idea I am sure I will remember and it leaves almost immediately. I deny that has anything to do with age.

Hi Melinda,

“Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most!”
Mark Twain nailed it. I no longer worry about losing things, but it frustrates me to no end to lose my train of thought or to forget why I walked into a room.

Even worse is, during the creative process, my brain goes faster than I can type. If I have three ideas, by the time I type down the first two, I’ve forgotten the third! My head is messed up for the rest of the day, when that happens.

Cheers,

Mitch

I found if I bought cheap sunglasses and watches, I never lose or break them. If I buy nice ones, they last a short time.

I have wrapped my share of presents with large packing tape due to a regular tape shortage.

Good plan. There is just nothing more frustrating than losing your keys..and iwhy does it seem to happen when you are in a hurry?

I’ve misplaced mine a few times. But like you said putting a spare one somewhere handy has always helped me out. I’m not keen on looking for things. I give up easily. I just love putting them in specific places so even in the dark I can still get them when needed.
