    Lost Money
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the common experience of misplacing items, particularly money and wallets. The original poster recounts a humorous incident of losing a $20 bill after trying to find a safe place for it, only to misplace their wallet in the process. This leads to a broader conversation about forgetfulness and the challenges of keeping track of personal belongings, especially in a college setting. Participants share their own experiences with losing keys, wallets, and other items, often attributing their forgetfulness to busy lifestyles or poor short-term memory. Some suggest strategies for keeping track of important items, like designating specific spots for keys and wallets, while others share amusing anecdotes about their own mishaps. The thread highlights the relatable struggle of managing personal belongings and the lighthearted nature of these everyday challenges.

The really perplexing one is when you lose your glasses, but you have to be wearing them to see where they are, so you actually have to find them before you can start looking for them. Does this violate causality? :confused:

Nope, just means you're screwed until someone else comes along who can help you look.

Returning to the original topic...whenever something smaller goes missing, I usually blame Lucy (cat). She is a sneak-thief of the highest calibre. Her favourite target is pens, which she usually stashes under a rug somewhere, but nothing she can lift is safe. (She actually uses her paws like hands. She'll pick something up, look at it, turn it this way and that... then if she decides that she wants it, she'll put it in her mouth to carry it away.) When I bought her, I thought that her name was short for 'Lucille'. I soon came to suspect that it's actually 'Lucifer' (or Lucifur)
Is your cat missing? We just found this one...

I can't see what that is, but I'll try again later. Lucy is not missing; she's typing this for me. (I'll have to do it all over again before posting, of course, but I won't tell her that because I don't want to hurt her feelings.)

that is something that happens to me more often than not. what makes it an even bigger problem for me is that i have this stupid habit of going off to sleep while reading, studying... with my glasses on. now that means that each time i wake up in the middle of the night, my glasses are in an unusually awkward shape.

but at times, in my sleep, i somehow manage to take them off and keep them somewhere. now when i wake up this time(again in the middle of the night), i don't have any idea about where did i keep my glasses. now in such a situation i cannot even go back to sleep as it is quite possible that my glasses are on my bed and i may just sleep over them. what makes the matter worse is that i am not wearing my glasses so i cannot see properly, it is the middle of the night and i am half asleep, and i absolutely have to, find my glasses before i can go back to sleep. :eek:



can it get more stupid than this?? :frown:

Yes! But it's beneath even my limited dignity to offer details. :redface:

Okay, I'm going to try what Moonbear suggested: http://img125.exs.cx/img125/7155/drunkcat2yv.th.jpg

You left out the img tags :biggrin: (note, this only works in General Discussion). Here, like this (click on "quote" to see the way I used the tags so you can do it yourself next time):

Oh... I see... But if it were larger you might note the type of beer in the paw (Canadian?). Anyway, you're creating a monster you know...er, making one more monstrous? :smile:

As one of my friends is fond of saying about me...I haven't created a monster, just let it out of its cage. :biggrin:

It is indeed! :approve: I'd recognize that maple leaf anywhere. Molson Canadian. Of course, we just order it as a Canuk.

Are you sure it's a cat? I've always imagined that if Moonbear had a son... :biggrin:

At first I thought you may be referring to a cloning gone wrong, but then I remembered about the dog costume trick on poor Evo. Hmmmm...

It might just be because she's overly polite and unwilling to hurt my feelings, or it could possibly be related to the roofies in her Tabasco buttermilk, but she actually offered surprisingly little resistance... :devil:
