How often do you lose things?

I bought something for my best friend on the cruise, and while not huge, it is certainly not small. I unpacked it, and everything else. Apparently, I moved it because where I thought I put it is now clear and empty. Where did I put it? I don’t know! What about you?

I hate it when I misplace things. If you remember unpacking it, it must be there somewhere! Hope you find it soon!

Thanks, Marie. I’ll tell her it will probably turn up in six months.

@AmbiePam Every once in a while, I will be unable to find something small. I will look and look, and then discover it in pretty much plain sight! Insanity reigns!

It depends on what it is. I have a tendency lose my keys and the remote.

Oh, the darn remote. It needs to be orange colored. As for the keys (hangs head shamefully).

@AmbiePam Well I did buy covers for our roku remotes. Chris' is blue and mine is lime green. They glow in the dark too. But those stupid remotes are so little.

Yeah, that's always happened to me, mostly it's losing my carkeys or remotes or flashlights. But eventually I'd end up finding them because I was looking for something else Thank heavens I haven't lost my cell.

My cell is either in my pocket or being charged @AmbiePam that way I won't lose it.

Too often! I move things without really thinking what I am doing and then I cannot find what I need anywhere. I got mad trying to find the small manual of the furnace. Finally, when we switched back to winter time, I opened the big clock and the manual was inside its case.

I found it around 6am when I had a sudden hunch. I’m very thankful it occurred to me!

I believe you didn't lose it but just misplaced it. Hope you find it sooner or later. I often misplaced things because I'm always too busy and my mind is always preoccupied.

Toni, knowing me, I lost it and I’ll never see it again.

Lately I haven't lost anything but there have been times I would have lost my head if it was not attached to me, I hope you find the gift,

I did around 6am on a hunch. I did not remember putting it where it was, but at least it occurred to me!

That happens to me too but thankfully not too often. I'm sure you'll find it when you're looking for something else

At 6am this morning, I came across it. I had a hunch, and I was fortunately right.

I wish I could lose my age and when finding it again, it's much lower than it was!

Yes, every now and then I misplaced things. When I no longer looked for the things, I found them.

Mostly I don't lose things but it happens from time to time. I can't afford to lose things as I'm always having to find things for Vince.

I do hope you will find it, just misplaced for now. I take lot of care especially now that I am elderly and when I lose something I cannot stop searching for it. I had a favorite belt and it disappeared couple of years ago. I still search for it though it is possible it was left behind at the airport security check.

Well, not often but yes once a while. I keep things, thinking I kept at safe place... later forgets
