I just lost three cucumbers!

LOL...oh Sue, I can relate so well!! For me, it's not so much losing things as it is putting things in weird places.

For example, I went to put a plate in the dishwasher this morning and promptly threw it in the garbage can instead.

Try to laugh these things off - it's the best way to save your sanity!

hugs,
Pam

Pam - that's funny!!!

Chutz - did you look in your linen closet? I think I saw it in there. ;)

I burst out laughing when I read your post, Sue! What gets me is how we keep doing these things year after year. I keep expecting that with enough time, I will somehow train my mind to be more present or linear or whatever it is not. But something tells me that this is the way it's gonna be for the forseeable future. I am not making progress! I have notes to myself all over the place, but never remember where. More clouds in the forecast, I'm afraid....

Sue, you made me hungry for cucumbers, they are going on my grocery list.

I have already found a box of Kleenex in my refrigerator...cold...cold...makes sense?

Southern lady, I mentioned alzheimers to my rheumy and he asked me 3 questions......what did you have for breakfast, what day is it, and who is president (I think those are the three)  He said that alzheimers or dementia patients will make something up if they don't know the answer whereas non alzh & dementia patients will say I don't know or say I had only coffee for breakfast instead of making uo a great sounding nutritious meal.

Unless my cell is in its case on my side I usually have to go looking or call it.............and I leave my car keys in the ignition at home, that way I don't have to go looking for them.

GSDgirl,

Aren't you afraid that somebody will steal your car? I would be scared to do that here. But I keep my keys in my purse and don't use the purse that often. But I always double check to make sure that they are there.

God bless all of you.

Hugs, Karen

Now I do not feel so bad, 4 years ago I hid $100, and sill can't find it!!!! I know I did not spend it!!!LOL

Thanks Butterflyrose

getting by, when I go to the store I do lock my car but the keys always go into my right front pocket.  Here at the office and even when we lived upstairs I never took the keys out or locked it.  At home it usually goes into the garage but even if it didn't the sound of 5 barking Shepherds would make one think twice

Right now I'm hunting for my umbrella.  We are now in the rainy season and I've turned the house upside down. 

 

I'm always misplacing my cordless phone.  It has a button on the base that you can push and the phone will beep to help you find it but I'm deaf.  Lot of help that is!

I have often wondered - and I'm dead serious here - if there isn't some other dimension that things hide in when we can't find them, and that spits them back out again when and where we least expect them. 

My family looks at me askance when I refer to "the void."  I haven't convinced them yet.  But if I can't find something that's what I blame.

I just wanted to say, thanks for the laugh I need it desperately. I lost my lil brother three years ago, two days ago. And his K9 partner. IED Explosion, in Iraq. I've been down in the dumps and more depressed, as I am just accepting the deaths. Between the sad memory, taking care of my grandma who has dementia, I was like what happened when I saw "I'm losing my cucombers" and Died laughing as I thought it was going to be a problem of some sort that actually didnt involve losing cucombers the vegetable LOL. Thanks for the laugh!

I think that I have done just about all of the above.  What really bugs me is when I know that I have just gotten something at the store,  only to be unable to find it after getting home just a few hours later.  I usually find it in some unlikely spot sometime later.  What is even worse is finding out that I put it exactly where it should have been, but didn't remember!

I am constantly losing my keys.  My husband's favorite story is about his driving our suv down a busy street in our town when a man pulls up beside him, and motions for him to roll his window down.  The man then yelled, "Hey, do you know that there is a set of keys hanging out of the lock on your back door?"  Of course, they were mine, left there after carrying in groceries the day before.  I think that my worst incident occured back when I was still single.  I couldn't find my keys one evening after returning from shopping and carrying in several items.  I tore the house apart, checked my purse, the car ignition, and all of the other usual places.  I was frantic, as there were keys to my home as well as my office and vehicles.  I went to bed feeling very frusterated.  The next day, I was mowing the lawn.  I "found" my set of keys with the lawn mower.  They flew into the side of my van at close range, leaving a small dent. I had laid them down on the lawn while I was carryiing groceries in, and they had been hidden by a large flowering plant. Surprisingly, most of the keys were not damaged.  I was just thankful that they had only hit my vehicle, and not one of my neighbors or their vehicles!
