Have you ever wondered why your keys aren't where you left them? Why you don't send things out to the dry cleaners, but your wire coat hanger collection is growing anyway?
You aren't alone...

I think that is why mom said, "Don't put that in your mouth. Do you know where it's been?"-
HAHAHA. True. Very true.

Oh no, this brings back memories of watching Toy Story ! -
Mine is sunglasses. They always seem to walk away after I set them down somewhere. My keys stopped vanishing after I started latching them onto the inside pocket of my purse, but now my sunglasses vanish and reappear at will.-
As noted in the blog entry, my sunglasses are very well-behaved. I think they like their nice leather clamshell case. My regular glasses, on the other hand, regularly migrate from the front of my face to the top of my head and then off to who knows where. They even trade places with some of my reading glasses while I sleep in order to fool me in the morning. Diabolical!!

I'm always losing my pens. I set them down some place and they vanish into thin air never to be seen again. I used to buy 100 packs of cheap Pilot brand pens to remedy this, but those have all disappeared too, the whole entire box.-
You did not lose those pens, they have gone into hiding. The question is, why are they hiding from you?
-
I guess they don't like the confines of their box or my desk. They see it fit to get around in the world. Lord knows what far off places these pens have traveled to.

I would lose my head if it weren't glued on to my torso and wrapped in sticky tape. I swear! -
HAHA I was told it was noga's that did that growing up. They live in kudzu (a really fast growing vine) and they come into your home and move things around. If you catch enough of them you can make nogahide (the fake leather of car seats) They come in all diffrent colors and move stuff until you do not need it any more then they replace it. -
The Borrowers are everywhere. Lately they've been stealing my underwear and my memories. -
Great post.
I'll have to say no to the wire hangers offer. Mommie dearest doesn't like them.-
Why Tina, Why????

Fingernail clippers... never in their assigned spot!
-
Ewww, that just reminded me of this guy who was clipping his nails on the bus the other day. Gross.
-
Sorry, Still-didn't mean to gross you out!
-
You know what the bane of a custodians existance is? People who clip there toenails in various random places. The nasty barbed ends of them stick in the carpet fibers and usually have to be picked out by hand!

Image of my 8 year old self creeping out of my bedroom, dolls all arranged as they should be on my bed...heading off to school. Then popping my head back into my room and scanning the terrain for any movement, eye blinking a single hair out of place....
I was convinced they danced and played while I was gone. Utterly convinced. -
- Hilarious! I reviewed and rated your blog for BC and also for stumbleupon. Now where the heck are my glasses hiding and why?
-
The post has also been stumbled.

look, I know people will say this is crazy but things and people constantly slip in and out of parallel worlds-
- Yo, I am a shapeshifter adeptly maneuvering the no-time-line slipstream between the parallel worlds.
w00t! Who cares what others think? ... slip sliding away ... -
I don't dare say that's crazy. If I do you'll accuse me of being *nothingprofound*

"Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories-those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost."-Russell Baker
Looks like we need a fourth category-those that hide.-
- lol ... slip sliding away ... slip sliding away
the nearer you get to me - the more I'm slip sliding away

My daughter woke from an afternoon nap over the weekend - I went into her room to find a plush mickey mouse sitting in the middle of the floor (which normally sits in her wardrobe) she told me that mickey had been dancing and it woke her up.
Clearly she hadnt put it there herself as she still sleeps in a cot.-
Disney is watching your daughter.
-
better that than the ghost of Michael Jackson
-
Is it better? I don't Michael was all that interested in little girls. Whereas Disney is one of the world's most evil corporations. Celebration, Florida is really an experiment in eugenics.
-
Is that that fascist-chic enclave that the Quixtar millionares like so much?
-
It's the prototypical, idealized American community that Disney built. You have to "apply" to buy a home there. Yep, it's the Disney version of Stepford.
-
- the Disney version of Stepford
Gag me!
-
I wonder if there kids will be able to survive out in--*shudder*--diverse society!!!
-
- Gob I hadn't thought about the kiddies - they'll become bobble heads.
-
I think that Celebration is supposed to be colorblind, otherwise it would violate fair housing laws. The entire concept of a town owned by a multinational conglomerate really sets my teeth on edge though.
-
Me too.

- I have strong suspicions that my shoes hold dances in the closet at nights, and do not return to being pairs at last call. How else can one explain the high heeled sandal wedged in the top of a hiking boot? Or the flip flop and the sneaker snuggled together into the corner of the sports bag?
And for that matter, I don't know how those necklaces I so carefully hang up on their hooks on the dresser at night end up in the lingerie drawers in the morning.
-
Yes, I understand about the shoes! That is why mine are now confined in clear plastic boxes. Not only did I end the almost daily "have you seen my other black sandal?" cry, by conquering them and confining them in boxes I was able to consolidate their space and win territory! I reclaimed two cupboard shelves and the closet floor!!
My necklaces behave better now that they hang on hooks, but I now have earrings that party while I sleep and end up all over the bedroom. Thank doG none of them have figured out how to work the doorknobs...

sometimes i have the feeling this mouse is vibrating or tries to run away.-
I use a laptop, so I have a trackpad instead of a mouse. It goes on strike periodically, sullenly refusing to accept commands. I have no idea what to do to placate it. A mouse you can strip down and clean its ball and wheels...but how do you pleasure a trackpad??
-
-
reboot the laptop? if it doesn't follow, check if you have system issues that's causing the delay. it could be a spyware issue, or you have too much junk in your cache.
you need to do the ff:
1. open your browser.
2.go to tools.
3.go to the drop down 'internet options'
4.delete:histories,temporary files,cookies etc.
5.hit ok
6.close the browser and open it again.-
Cleaning the pad with a damp cloth seems to have a good effect, as well.
-
-
yeah that one too in case the trouble in an external one.try to get rid of static. that must be the main source of problem.
-
I think the main source of the problem is that the computer is a diva. It is, after all, Dell's top-of-the-line Studio model and it is pink...definitely blingy and temperamental and full of itself.
Outside of that, occasionally the whole keyboard area seems to benefit from a gentle wipe down with a damp cloth...perhaps it is the laptop version of a long soak in a hot bath?
-
-
ahhh Divas! indeed. why not? it's a Dell.yep it needs that. though i know it is going to protest that you will make its little tush wet.
-
Oh, I always have a dry tissue to follow up, and the damp cloth is barely moist...no need to give the little darling a cerebral vascular event!!
-
-
Hahahaha I haven't heard a laptop screamed and throw tantrums but I could imagine how your's would have a fit.
-
It's pink, dahling...blingy metallic pink! Small wonder that it is a diva!
My last two laptops were stolen...my husband thinks that no self-respecting thief will steal a pink one because it's too girly...and he will find it difficult to sell.
-
-
Hahahaha good point. Imagine a pink girly laptop on a criminal face.
-
lovely topic.
