Knock wood, I've never lost my keys or locked them into the car, as many folks of all ages do, however, in the last little while, I'm losing "stuff."

I was packing to go somewhere and could not find a black sweater. I think I know when it was last worn, and I think I've looked everywhere in the house, but I can't find it. Another time (BV)before Vintage status, I was again packing for a trip and somewhere along the way I realized I could not find a watch. Just a cheap Timex, but I have no idea where that ended up. Sunglasses? I have to buy cheap ones as they get lost as often as I do, if I travel without a GPS.

So now that you're do you misplace things more often?

 

No. I put things in a place where I'll always remember where they are. Then I can't remember where that place is.

 

I periodically become preoccupied with larger issues and overlook the day to day mundane, like where are my sunglasses.


that's my story and I'm sticking with it

 

I rarely misplace things, but I sometimes go into a room knowing I came into it for a reason and have to work at remembering why! To make up for my seldom misplacing anything, my +1 delays every single car trip we make (even if it is only a trip to the grocer) because he can't find his glasses. GRRRRR. The ONLY reason I do not lose things is because I FORCE myself to put things in their assigned location ALWAYS.

 

Just another example of CRS

 

I think that's my problem, not putting things away right away. Then they never make it back to their original home.

As far as going into a room and forgetting why I'm there......ALL the time.

 

I am missing my radar detector (STILL after searching 2 months). Can you tell me where would have been a good place I might have put it?

I know it was somewhere that made sense at the time. I found the cord - why I did not pack that with it at the time...

Keys have never been a problem for me... my S key will still be clenched in my cold dead fingers when the time comes. I never go anywhere w/o them. Good thing there is a spare set

 

Almost every time I go on the boat I forget something. Just way too many things to remember on every trip.

 

Two things - as mny of you know I travel a lot for business. I have left so many things in hotels over the years, one could probably make a pretty decent living on e-bay just auctioning the things I have left behind.

One time, I left a $500 pair of prescription sunglasses in a rental car that I turned in. I never got the glasses back, so I learned to get the kind of sunglasses that fit over my existing glasses - I can sometimes find them in the dollar store, and I will buy them 5 at a time.

I am constantly leaving my phone somewhere. Fortunately it is usually in the car.

 

I seem to have lost my mind. Does that count?
