Where is my cucumber????

anyone see the 4400 tv show?? lol

I am so craving cheeseballs and cucumber dill dip now, although not together!

Two years ago, before we moved into this house, I had a brand new jar of Hellmann's mayonnaise in the pantry. When I went to open it to replace the one in the fridge, it was gone. GONE.

I KNOW I bought a jar of mayo. I KNOW it was in the pantry, unopened. I can't prove it, but I know it. To this day I wonder where that jar of mayo went.

Usually when I lose stuff like that, though, it's because I've put it in the wrong place. Milk in the pantry and all that.

Since my LASIK surgery, I only use drugstore reading glasses. I keep several pairs around the house: on the computer desk, in my work tote bag (2 pairs) and on top of whichever book I am reading. Frequently, I grab my cigarette and book and head for the patio, only to realize that I can't find my glasses. Usually, they're on top of my head. I have got to get a chain.

Great thread - I am a great one for losing cups of coffee - I start drinking a coffee walking around the house - put it down and walk off to do something else. Forget about it and make another coffee , start drinking, walk off, put it down, ....... By the end of the week my coffee cup shelf is half empty and there are 8-9 half drunk cups of cold coffee lying around waiting to be picked up and washed.

I leave things on the stove... like If I have a craving for boiled eggs or Ramen noodles made on the stove or macaroni.. mostly its because I put it on the stove meaning to go check it, and then go on the computer and forget it is there . I often put things in the freezer that I meant to take out from the fridge.. I once left the water on and the sink almost overflowed also I think everyone has done that... once I was looking for the milk and I was like.. oh you crazy person! Where did you put it? I looked all over the house and then i was like.. fine whatever.. I got a soda and a glass from the fridge, grabbed a straw, and opened up the freezer to get some ice only to see the milk innocently sitting there with its little cow on the front looking at me...

Frozen milk flakes taste funny


I had an Armadillo lizard once named Thorn.. I would take her out of her cage and play with her all day, because you could set her on the table and leave her there for hours... once I went to bed only to get up ten minutes later and realize I had left thorn in the living room.. I panicked, but when i got in there she was sitting in the same place she had been for three hours, taking a nap. Hah. I think she was a "senior" lizard, because she died about two years later mysteriously.....

one pet I couldnt forget about was Piper, who was my ball python.. all she ever did was move around and try to find holes and dark places to crawl into.. I tried to get her a bigger cage, and got one that had a big door in the front.. I had to use those plastic lock ties all around the door so she couldnt get out, but she managed to squeeze through an inch of open space and get out... the first time I found her.. but the second time (because I didnt see hwere she had gotten out ) I didnt find her again. She had always been determined to escape... Ever since then I have been looking at the papers to see "Snake appears out of nowhere in a local home.. authorities puzzled at its origin..." She most likely got into the vents under the floor and got outside or maybe died.. there wasnt much I could do...

It does in London, and I think probably most parts of the UK too! I don't get my milk delivered though cos I live on my own I never know how much I need. But, it's always handy when I see a milkie cos you can buy a bottle off him rather than walk to the shop!

sorry you lost your cucumber, i hope you find it soon, i have lost things like that a few times, it is very frustrating. Once i lost the milk only to discover it in the cupboard a few hours later

i can tell you once incident that happened on the weekend.
BF was watching tv and i fell asleep, he said he had put the remote control on the bed side table but instead i woke up in the middle of the night seeing the remote control on my leg. In the morning the remote control was gone!!!!!!!!!! i turned the house upside down and i decided to rearrange the little loungeroom part we have untill i picked up my fake plant and there it was....
MY REMOTE CONTROL WAS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLANT!!!!!
( idont know how it got there seriously.... because i cant reach while im laying down in bed into the plant)

I FOUND IT!!!!

It was cleverly hidden behind a bottle of salad dressing
So now I can have cucumber on my salad and in my Pimm's!!

I did however check the garabage can which I forgot I had to clean up a kitty mess and made the mistake of poking around with my hand.

CRISIS AVERTED!!

The cucumber returns!

Have fun with the pimms


errr if you HAD found the cumber in the garbage, was that to get it out to eat or just to check that you had chucked it away? I just had to ask....

Well actually I have a plastic compost pail in the garage that I toss all my veggie scraps (I peeked in there too!!). It would have stayed in the garage however if that is where it had been.

We lost Daisy once. We looked all over the house for her, every nook and cranny. We finally found her on top of the cabinet in the bathroom. Never thought to look up instead of down

Well, I've got one just happened lunchtime today. I'm starting a diet/exercise program and for lunch I've been eating a cup of broccoli (frozen) with baked chicken and just a bit of rice. I looked all over for the bag of frozen broccoli. These are not small bags! We get them from Sam's Club. Not in the kitchen refrigerator freezer, not in the "big" freezer, not left out, nowhere, nada. This bag was 3/4 full yesterday .

I finally call hubby:
"Ummm, where's the broccoli?" I ask.
"It's not in the fridge?"
"Not that I can see, I've looked everywhere," I reply.
"Well, I threw that bag away that you said was old ..."

*sigh* Yup. Apparently he listened to the first sentence when I mentioned that there was an old bag of broccoli in the fridge freezer that was mostly ice crystals; but not to the next sentence in which I said I threw it away! So he helpfully (today's garbage day) cleared the "old" stuff out of the freezer!

*sigh* Men ...

So I chopped up a tomato to put in with my rice and chicken. Not bad actually !
