Where Do Things Disappear To? Measuring Cups, Socks, and Mechanical Pencils

The PF Brotherhood is a secr--er, I mean no, there is no Brotherhood at PF. Uh, that I'm aware of.

Next you'll blab the secret handshake. Sheesh! Not that there is one.

I have to buy more measuring cups. I have 4 nested sets and the 1/4 cup measure is missing from three of the sets...

You are too funny The easiest way to stop runnaway measuring cups (and spoons too) is to attach them all together with a metal ring (similar to a key ring). They often come sold with a ring attached. (If you take them off the ring to use them, all bets are off. )

For lost socks, I would check behind the bed. I suspect a few are hiding back there..
The solution to your lost socks coincidentally is the same.. Several years ago, I was given some sock rings. You pair them through a ring before tossing in the laundry basket. Since I started with these rings, I've never lost a sock.

I don't enjoy whenever my mechanical pencils wander off too. Those I'm particularly fond of, never leave my desk. All the rest have to take their chances.

I can live with most lost mechanical pencils, as long as my favorite hangs around. It is a Caran D'ache Fixpencil by Proceq SA, Zurich. It is the most low-tech mechanical pencil you can imagine, but it's bulletproof. I still have one of the original Swiss-made leads in it - might be a bear to find replacements these days.

Couldn't you cast them yourself using a teeny mold?

Break out the lead-ware Martha, and I mean the good stuff; I'll need it all if we're going to get through this night alive...

Good stuff, Dave.
