Do any of you lose things frequently? I've always been prone to losing things, ever since I was a kid. I came by the talent honestly, as both my dad and my mom's sister are great at losing things too. Well, I think I've finally topped myself this time. I usually lose things that I lay down somewhere, the kitties move, or I just forget where I put it.......I got to church yesterday morning and realised that I have lost my WEDDING BAND! I remember having it on Saturday evening while we were working, but sometime between then and yesterday morning I have lost it, and no...I didn't take it off (not while I was awake anyway). AARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

I'm famous for losing things, but I just blame it on the gremlins!
I hope you find your wedding ring. Have you checked in your bed or on the floor in your bedroom? If you were having a restless night, you could have taken it off in your sleep.

It's not so much that I lose things as forget what I was doing. I run into the garage knowing what I was going afer, get in the garage, andforget what I was going after. I feel like a fool as I stand there wondering what I went out there for in the first place.

I'm always losing things! I was never like that until I got sick and after that my brain seemed to turn to mush and now I have the attention span of a peanut. In fact I think a peanut has more of an attention span than I do lately


I've lost a $100.00 bottle of perfume
I had it with me when I was in the hospital 3 years ago. I remember having it in my purse some weeks after that. I remember taking it out. But I don't know what happened to it after that.

I've looked everywhere! And I just can't find it. The only thing I can think of is that it must have been in another purse after that, which I gave away to charity, because it doesn't seem to be around here
It's been missing for about a year now

I'm to the post if I think of something to do I do it right away or write it down.
I misplaced my prescription sunglasses for over a year-they were in the glovebox of the truck which I swear I looked in several times!!! Currently I misplaced an expensive hand pruner and a bow saw-grr.........

I am the same way. I hate it. My problem is I get side tracked. For example I might go upstairs to get dirty clothes for the laundry but along the way stop to do something else. Then I totally forget why I went upstairs. It's so annoying.

That's my biggest problem too. Last night I went upstairs to get laundry out of the dryer, stopped to get a piece of pizza, then got all the way downstairs again before I remembered that I needed to get my laundry!

See...that's what worries me.....I used to wear a mouthpeice at night because I grind my teeth....and I got to the point that I'd take it out during the night.....I stopped wearing it the night I dreamed that I swallowed it (impossible, I know) and when I woke up I couldn't find it! I eventually found it, about 8 inches UNDER the bed !!!
