I also cannot find the TV remote. Maybe they are together!

My kids used to put random items like that in our shoes or the cleanout bag of the vacuum cleaner. Do you have a dog?

Dolphyngyrl 08-20-2011 07:34 AM

just turn the tv on at the tv it will show up later

Drew 08-20-2011 07:49 AM

I hate it when you HAVE TO clean to find something. (LOL) I don't mind cleaning - but - not to find something. What is really buggy is when DH hunts for an item with me. He will remember every thing he sees in a pile. In my world, I can tell him what ISN'T there - the lost item!! (LOL)

For me, I find it as soon as I put the new one away. There is the one I lost right where it belongs!

Melinda in Tulsa 08-20-2011 08:17 AM

I'm also missing the remote, and the charger to my camara. When I knew where the charger was, I was missing the camara!

St. Anthony is on my prayer-roll/fulltime employee!!!!!

We're always losing the phones in the house (got 3 remote phones). It's usually me trying to find them when it starts to ring. DH has a habit of carrying them off when he's talking and he doesn't remember where he puts them. I have found all 3 of them right next to one another....none in the correct place. LOL Glad you found one...keep looking, the remote will turn up where least expected.

I LIKE this idea!

Seems like Gremlins are everywhere today!!

luce321 08-20-2011 09:15 AM

This happens to me too, very frustrating.

BabyCakes 08-20-2011 11:33 AM

I had one and it kept going off while I was in the car driving due to the radio. I threw it out the window.

MargeD 08-20-2011 11:48 AM

They probably ran off together to that "safe place" and are in hiding for an illicit love affair. lol. Just kidding. They will turn up when you least expect it.

sylviasmom 08-20-2011 01:14 PM

Airwick, that is so funny. That's where I found my dishtowel. How did you know?

frostbaa 08-20-2011 01:31 PM

I lost the all purpose foot to my babylock quest over a year ago. Stopped by the store a few weeks ago to order a new one since it had been missing for so long. The owner asked me if I was Beth because he had been holding one all that time for me. I paid $26 something for it. A few days later I found the first one in the sewing table/accessory box that fits around the free arm. Cant return it after that man kept it all that time. Never fails, lose it, replace it, then find the missing one. Ever happen to you?

Lalanne 08-20-2011 03:52 PM

I lost a sewing machine (in the case), 2 years ago. How do you LOOSE a sewing machine?!!

Donna in Mo 08-20-2011 03:59 PM

I lost the salt and pepper one time. Found it in the refrigerator! Check the refrigerator! Hee, hee

Jo M 08-20-2011 04:03 PM

Ha ha ha ha ha...or maybe check the fridge. Not that I've ever done anything like that. :roll:

I knew about St. Anthony, but never heard the cute little prayer! He's helped me find numerous things. What would we do without him?!

ButtermilkMama 08-20-2011 06:05 PM

I agree w/ MrsM, I always panic. When I gather my thoughts, I almost always remember where I put it!!!!!

GV09 08-20-2011 07:44 PM

Hello, MissCarol!
I say the same thing that BellaBoo:
Appeared his accessory?
Sure you were the goblins!
You should take a glass and place it face down while saying: "Duende ... you in this glass prison until my rule!" Just once you see your lost object ... can release the goblin turning your glass! (Insurance will soon ... they are free beings, mischievous .. but do not like being locked up!)
Works for me! :thumbup:
Hahaha!
A big hug for you! :D

If it was in your pants pocket - in the dirty laundry - could it be in the washing machine :?: :shock: :?: :shock: :?:

sewellie 08-20-2011 08:11 PM

Check the fridge. :oops:

I have checked on top of the fridge. Maybe I should look inside :roll:

romanojg 08-21-2011 09:59 AM

Got any men in the house; that's normally where you'll find the remote; no matter what thier age is; they gravitate to it.

misscarol 08-21-2011 12:17 PM

Actually, it was after my son left that I realized the remote was missing. He says he doesn't have it. I guess I'll have to go look at his house!!

BTW, I didn't find it in the fridge either :(

elm 08-21-2011 10:30 PM

Mine had slid under the footstool, so try looking under whatever you were lounging on. Also, I find that sometimes if I answer the phone the remote ends up near it.

Lost pair of glasses and it was alomost 7 months til I found them. Fortunately I found my old ones so I could see.

ploverwi2 08-22-2011 09:04 AM

Maybe they ran away from home together with the missing socks!

ging10ging 08-27-2011 04:33 PM

The cheesecake took it hope they like each other's job. Sue
