So, if you have seen some of my previous posts, you will know that the roomie and I spent several HOURS working on my front room.

She cleverly brought one of the cordless phones into the room in case we got a phone call (and considering we had both doors BLOCKED for several hours, its a good thing we didn't have drinks or need to go to the bathroom!)

After accidentally setting off the ringer once, she put it down someplace and I later knocked it off and moved it.

Well, we get home from the Goodwill/supper run and we're back working a bit more in here (I had to rediscover my desk so I could even WRITE you guys.) Then the phone rings. Well, we go looking for it and can't find it. We HEAR it, but it always seems like its just someplace else.

It also seems to be moving around.

Finally, I decide to take the other phone out of the front room (she had to go get it so she could find out who called the first time.) I also found the 5th bag of cloth stuff and was taking it back to the other room to store it.

And that darn phone is still following me - and then the roommate said it was gone.

I reach down and found it IN MY POCKET!

doh

You ever lost something only to find it ON you?

as a matter of fact... before I went grey and before I got darker hair I was a blond... and even when it was dark it was still considered "dark ash blond"

Well...Just yesterday I took off out of the house to go to my mum’s place with my daughter. We were in a hurry because we had to stop along the way and attend to some errands and we were already running late.

I started driving down the road and after about five minutes I asked my daughter to look in my bag for my mobile phone. She looked and told it was not in there and I remembered receiving a text message just before we left and I was sure I left the phone on the table.

So back we go much to my child’s dismay. We arrive back at the house and I go inside and start hunting around for my phone; it’s nowhere to be found so I rang my number and guess what? It was in my bag in the car as it should have been in the first place!
happy

when we went out to Goodwill, I couldn't find my phone pouch (with my driver's license in it) under the stuff on my desk, but I figured at least it was only a short trip and we didn't have any troubles

Huuummmm, it sounds a lot like me! lolwink My favorite thing is to be searching for something like my car keys and spend about an hour frantically searching for them and they'll be in my hand.

At least you did find the phone. If it had been my house with that much cleaning, it would have been in one of the bags that went out. One feature I love on my cordless is a locater button on the base unit. I hate to admit how many times I use it to find where the heck I left the phone. I only have the one handset, so it is important that I make sure I have it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

been there, done that before we got the 3 handset and landline phone... Never looked for my keys and they be in my hand, because I have them on a cord that stays on my clothes

in fact at Walmart today getting an oil change the gal held up my keys and asked "are these yours?" mind you, she had the clip and the keys were hanging down about 18 inches...

LoL....that was too funny! For a second, I thought it was Casper the ghost, alright...ha! For me, I have lost things only to discover them on places like I never imagine. Like in the shower area, on top of the washing machine and whatnot..


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

I'm pretty good about not losing some things, but other's...

glasses bother me so much, I always know where they are when they are on my face - I do sometimes shove my readers upon my head and even after I put them away, kind of feel like they are still up there

That's the problem with cordless phones, they're portable but you can never find them! I just leave mine in the cradle and walk around with it when I'm using it. If I'm lucky, I remember to replace it so I can find it again!


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

well, she had it in her pocket until she set off the ringer - because we knew we were going to be trapped in the room for a while and didn't want to have to go moving stuff if it rang - turned out it didn't ring until we were able to get out of the room.

did I mention that we were able to get out the front door before back into the rest of the house? We went that way first to put out the trash/recycling - then we went off to Goodwill still leaving the door to the rest of the house blocked by the bags to go back to the cat room...

they normally live in the cradles for that reason, oh, and the roomie is visually impaired so that's another reason to put them back to where they belong, so she can find them

I do believe we are kinfolks, elic, i'm always doing something crazy like that.My biggie is putting things in a safe place so i will know where they are, not !! i forget where that nice safe place is most of the time. Old age is the pits as one of my little customers use to tell me at the shop every week. I now know what she meant, lol.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

I agree, I do think we are sisters separated at birth - those things that are put in safe places, some of them I'm still looking for!

LMAO that is sooooo funny, i hate it when that happens, yes i have lost stuff and found it on me after hours of searching, my eye glasses, i searched all over for them, i looked everywhere only to fond that they were perched on the top of my head, even tony didn't tell me where they were and found it highly amusing watching me search for the wretched things, lol, oh yeah, i felt daft but i now know that if i cannot find them, look on my head first....LOL...


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

yeah, after I've been wearing my readers for a while, I'll be patting my head to make sure they aren't up there


myLot reputation of 99/100. puddytatt (840)  3 years ago

LOL, i do that all the time, people must think i am nuts when they see me patting my head...LOL....


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

hahaha! that has happened to me several times at home. sometimes the phone will ring and I'll walk into the next room to get it and it's not where i heard it. I walk back into the previous room and I find it under the couch


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)   ranked 1 out of 193 in journey into oblivion!  3 years ago

oh my, under couch isn't going to happen here, because we keep the cats away from the large furniture and we have no kids oh, and we only have a love seat, and that's buried in laundry
