This sure sounds like you've been following me around...lol. I can put my glasses up on my head and then spend 20 minutes looking for them. I usually find them when my wife says THEY"RE ON YOUR HEAD......

When I was younger I had a photographic memory, but it ran out of film. I find my mind slips farther away with each passing birthday......... Uh, what were we talking about?

Im in my early twenties and and I have all these problems. I dont know how they do it but EVERY TOOL I OWN grows legs the moment I put it down for a second.

The darn things cant be farther away then an arms length so WHERE are they?

I'm just glad we all have this support group lol Now I know I'm not alone!

I hate it when I know I have a tool and can't find it. End up buying another, then find it. I'm still looking for my rain gutter crimpers - there there somewhere within 1500 sq. ft or maybe the storage trailer or ??

When I was young my mother used to always say, "what you don't have in your head you get in your feet". When I was 10 that phrase didn't make much sense, today it rings in my ears everytime I have to double-back to do what I forgot. I'm sure that she is looking down grinning right now!

I was mad at my 3.5 y/o son cuz I could not find my default angle grinder lock nut. I went to HD lowes Ace and two welding shops to no avail. I finally broke down and ordered a new one. To assure this doesn't happen again I decided to order two. I picked up the package got home put them where I felt I would want them in my tool box and guess what I found????

Needless to say now I have three.

Is that why my neighbors look at me funny when I go outside to pee?
