Well, yesterday I was thinking about what to cook for supper. I knew I had part of a lrge jar of spaghetti sauce in the fridge so I was going to make some pizza dough and let the gang each make their own pizzas. Good think I looked for the sauce before I looked for the spaghetti/pizza sauce. It wasn't in the fridge! I tore around in there, behind the mayo and even looked in the vegetable drawers. That stuff was not in there. I KNEW there was about 3/4 of a jar so where was it.

It was about 1 more minute before I had this sinking feeling in my stomach. I walked over to the pantry, opened the door and there sat the jar of sauce, 3/4 full and full of 'fuzz'. rolleyes I have no memory of being in the kitchen putting away leftovers but I don't know anyone else in the family who would do something that silly besides a Fibro! I was a tiny bit relieved to find it but mostly angry at myself that I wasted it all and did something so forgetful. I know others have done similar things. If you care to share then feel free and post it here.

I was just thinking that I am glad you found it. I still haven't found my remote to the tv and hair spray. I lost it 6 months ago. Had my husband reprogrammed another remote. Lol

I am always losing track of things in the fridge. Then I find it when it isn't any good anymore. But I can go through everything and not see the item that I am looking for. Very frustrating. So I know how you feel Chutz. I too am glad that you found it, but sorry it became a science project. lol...

Keep your sense of humor Chutz. We will all prevail...

Hugs, Karen

I stopped at the grocery store last week for one thing...to pick up a baked potato for my husband and ended up spending $42...not that rare, I've done it plenty times before. Anyway, I come home, put everything away and then four hours later, when I go to put the potato in the oven, I cannot find it. I look everywhere and begin to think, darn, did I actually go to the store for the potato, only to end up buying all this other stuff and not the potato? My husband gets in on the hunt...nothing...I finally remember. I bought these little cups of ice cream, the only way I can buy ice cream and not eat an entire half gallon is to buy single servings, and I took the paper bag and dumped it into the freezer. So I went to the freezer and sure enough, under all thel ittle cups of ice cream was the potato! It was in there for four hours, but didn't taste any different to either of us!!!

I live less than 2 miles from my grocery store. I'll finish shopping, drive home, get into the garage, open my car door and go into the house.

A few hours later, I will go to the kitchen to start supper before hubby gets home, can't find anything that I purchased at the store. Go out to the garage where I find my car door still wide open and all my groceries still in the trunk...I've done this in the middle of summer where the temps are near 100 degrees. Yep, have to throw out all the perishibles before hubby gets home.

Hubby comes home from work and I suggest we go out for supper, it is just too hot to cook. Works like a charm...wish my brain did. turn

Hugs, Robin

Last night I was invited out to celebrate a friend coming back in town. So excited about the chance to be social. When I got out the shower I put on my favorite smell good lotion - Dewberry. When it was time to leave, I decided I would carry the lotion w/me to freshen up later. The hunt was on. It was no longer on the vanity table. I accussed my children of moving it. My ocd kicked in & I refused to leave w/o my lotion. Even when my seven year old asked 'ma do you need lotion for a party?' I insisted the children help looked for it b/c they were the ones that moved it in the first place! Thirty minutes later, the only room in the house we had not looked was the kitchen. I was sure it was not in there b/c I distinctly remember leaving it on the vanity table. I sent my son off to look in the kitchen just to rule out it was not there. He came back from the kitchen w/a chuckle & the infamous bottle of lotion. Oh yeah! I had it in my hand when I went to take the socks out of the dryer! I apologized to my children for accusing them of being lotion thieves & off to the pArty I went.

ccrazykitty- one thng about living in Alaska you dont have to worry about things spoiling and melting too much. If we have no room in the freezer, just put it on the back porch. Lol.

We have one of those hybrid video recorders, the one where you can use a memory card or have it burned on mini dvd's. Well my husband was looking for it one day, asking me if I knew where it was. I told him he was the last to use it. So he hunted high and low, couldn't find it....he kept at it for 2 WEEKS because he KNEW that it was in the house somewhere, all the while I insisted that I haven't seen it. He than went into the spare room and decided out of the blue to look in our "junk" closet. Lo and behold...there it was! When he told me where he found it, it dawned on me that YES! I remember now that I put it there! LOL He just shook his head and told me that I am no longer allowed to put things away! :)

My hubby went onto the computer yesterday to update his tunes on his ipod only when he was done he needed toe cord that goes from computer to ipod ??? We should have no less than 4 of these in the house and he could not find one, asked me and I don't even remember what he is looking for. I don't have a clue where to find this and I won't be happy if he goes off on the boys like he did me. This is obviously my fault like every other thing he has looked for over the holidays I have put away.
