Looking back where do you think it went?
Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.
That's because once you've found what you're looking for ... you stop looking.
"The last place you look" just happens to make me laugh although I've heard it a million times. I mean are you going to say, "Well, alrighty then, I'll keep on lookin'. I'm wondering what else I might have lost and don't know it".
Sometimes the state you find it in (or place for that matter :) can cause you to not want it anymore.
That's right JJ, especially if cat barf is involved and other not so desirable additions that do not suit.;)
Like when the cap has fallen off and you find it and go, "Oh look I found a rabbitt's foot," and it is actually a chapstick.
Jeez and you thought it was your lucky day.
"Oh, I found it!" can also be a disappointment when you pull your pants out of a hot dryer and there is that pesky chap-stick, melted, of course.
when ya find it, it has dog hair all over it any way.
I vacuumed the other day and swear I picked up at least three cats and there is only one in the house.
yes i know the feeling JS, i think ROSIE has friends in the house when we are gone. lol
In the picture, it looks like she may be assaulting the person that took her chapstick. That hand to the right looks like its either a cry for help or a surrender plea.
I was thinking that hand looked a little stressed too. "Here's your cherry chapstick, please stop pulling my hair."
Lol. And I was imaging a few choice "cuss" words was being added to that mix.
Lol !!! Nice jeans !!!
I suppose I'm a freak. I can carry the same BIC for 3 months, and always know where it is. Same with lipgloss. However, for those rare times that I -do- misplace it, I always, always have 6 or 8 backups of both, stored neatly in pockets, pouches, cups, and drawers.
>:)
River, how often do you send them through the wash? That usually where what's been lost is found at my house.
I empty my pockets the minute I am done with my day. Very, very rare for me to wash something in my pockets, and not at all in several years. :)
River- I washed my cell phone and took it to the store to see if they would be able to fix it under the accident policy they had. It had an exclusion for laundry related incidents.
JJ, I have washed someone else's cell phone before. We took the battery out of it, let it sit on the counter for 3 days, and after that it worked fine !!!
What laundry detergent did you use? I used Tide and they found traces of it in the phone.
I dropped a phone in the toilet once. I fished it back out really quick and dried it out. It worked but the reception was really crappy.
My son-in-law got a job with Intel several years ago and found them so disorganized he was thoroughly disgusted. One morning he went to work used the porta-potty and dropped his pager into the toilet. We decided that it was a sign from God and he quit that afternoon. His next job was much more successful. I don't know whether his pager was fished out of the poop but that wasn't part of his job description so we'll never know.
That was a great story. I would have left the pager where it was too. (I might have paged myself to make it beep and stuff for the next customer :)
I would have thought Intel employees were "too good" for porta-potties. Hmph !!
And yes....the pager was better of staying put. EW !!!
My SIL is an engineer/attorney. He was the head supervisor for Intel's expansion. He'd go to meetings, get his instructions, go back to the job where within the day someone would come along and say there was a change of plans. After the third or fourth start and stall he'd had it.
They way that hand is coming up on the right seems strangle out of place.
