Nope... When things aren't where they belong, I ask Pretty where she put them... She gets mad and says she puts things back but in a little while, she'll bring back whatever she carried off. She gets distracted and takes things to her bedroom with her. Since she was little and we lived with each other, I've always told her that everything has a place and I want everything to be in it's place when I go to get it.

@TheHorse The last time I had a problem with gremlins, it was because of a medication a doctor was "trying out" on me. I didn't like it and Pretty finally called the doctor and told him she was not letting me take it anymore. I couldn't remember one minute to the next. It was terrible.

I think it was behind some freeze dried mashed potatoes, or something equally regal, on my kitchen counter.

Nope, my gremlins were left behind in Latvia. There we had incidents pretty often like my husband looking for his glasses which turned up in the freezer. One of the best incidents was losing my winter boots. It had snowed and we hadn't gone out for about three days. Then we wanted to got to the Central Market, No boots. They were found outside the front door on the stoop with snow in them, Go figure,

In the freezer? Perhaps he took them off to examine a label? I occasionally lose my glasses and later find them on my head.
