I arrived at forgetful one day in 1990, (I was 32) when I had a brain injury. I don't say this for sympathy, (who needs it?) I tell you this because it has been real entertaining watching my friends reach the 50's and complain about being forgetful. I just tell them "welcome to my neighborhood!". I was told by my doctor that what I have, is a form of amnesia. You are more than welcome to borrow my excuse if you need to! Mwwwahahahahah! :lol: It could be worse, we could all be losing our hearing instead...What?

Me too! I am always losing my scissors. I think I need one of those pincushions with the pockets for them!

Ohhh! I thought I was loosing my mind. The Greemlins explain what is going on in my house. Last week I was making a block, the Bear's Paw; I had 1/4 done and when I finish the second forth and was going to saw them together, guess what! it is nowhere. I cleaned up my sewing room, put away everything and nothing. It is gone and couldn find it till today.
I do have the brother of the one that stills socks. One of every pair and I lost a shoe since last October; hi hill, so it is a she! Last one, lost my EQ manual, since July. Are you saying the Gremling will return the items? I hope so! |
Once it was called Alzheimers, then it became Old Timers, and I now I settle for Sometimers

lol we always said casper was living here with us,
HUGS Dora |
I quit worrying about these things long ago , I have so many WIPs that if something goes missing i just go to something else. I put all my marbles in a jar on the shelf next to pics of grandchildren so that I always know where they are, even if I cant find anything else when I want it.

After I give up and make do with something else and continue on (struggling), the lost item never shows up. The next day I can walk in and TA DA -- there is the item in plain site!!!! I swear I have Gremlins who hide things and then return them the next day. Any one else have this problem? |
My gremlin stays busy all the time. He once took some "challenge" fabric and hid it from me. Took me almost 2 years to find it - it was tucked in between other fabrics right where I had looked several times (other people had looked for me, too). I am always finding things are not where I know I put them down...sometimes they show up the next day, but sometimes they don't show until I buy a replacement!

the conclusion i have come to is my house is built on top a big black hole that would account for everything that comes up missing especially socks!!!
