 I found the knife!! and got rid of the body that it was hiding in ;D

But the books are still missing. I even cleaned up my spare bedroom, which is more of a walk in wardrobe nowadays. Didn't find the books, but did find two pairs of shoes, a dress and a skirt that I haven't taken out of the store packaging. Hmm this lady knows how to shop.

According to an article on Cracked, there is a scientific principle behind this. Something about how your brain stores ideas in compartments by room, and when you move through a doorway your brain wipes the information it thinks it no longer needs. People forget things just by walking through doors in video games apparently.

I have tried walking through doors.

It hurts my nose.

Has anyone got my Montreal Canadiens  monster size T-shirt?  How can something that big disappear?  Probably a conspiracy by the Leafs fans! >:(

For me it's lighters and inhalers....I realise the irony in that combination :D

I don't understand how I can purchase a pack of 10 lighters around once a month and one by one lose every single one of them, until I'm forced to try and use the one lighter that has no gas that I apparently never intend to throw away.

The worst recently though has been the disappearance of my camera and my MP3 player. The MP3 player was actually brand new, I took it out the packaging...plugged it in to charge and get the software....and I haven't seen it since. ;___;

OMD! this makes so much sence! (in general, but also in relation to a forthcoming story im about to tell) I was walking with a friend at uni, and had just bought some soup from the cafe, which it is important to note, that not having evolved a cup holder as yet (lamarkian, not darwinian for the pedantists amongst you), I was carrying in one of my hands.  I was telling her a joke (about why catholic school boys have centre partings) which required the use of both hands held out flat, which i did.  after telling the joke we realised that I could not have made the gesture without letting go of the soup, and neither of us actually remebered seeing it while I gesticulated but remebered me carrying it before and after. 

its clear to me now, after reading this topic that aliens stole my soup but didnt like cerery flavour and so returned it.

When trying to find something, if I ever ask, "Where did I put so-and-so" I am always answered with the reply "Where did you leave it?"

Which drives me crazy! haha OBVIOUSLY if I didnt move said sought-after item then no one else would move it!

I used to get all grumpy, because I'd search and search the toolbox for the tool I needed, and it always seemed like it was the LAST tool I'd find after much searching...

Jeez, that was frustrating!  >:(

Then someone explained to me, "Of *course* it's always the "last" tool! Once you find what you're looking for, you stop looking!"

D'Oh!
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

They must be taking my cell phone! It just disappears. Like when I woke up today I searched my entire bed. Took off all the blankets and pillows, even my stuffed animal but nothing! I put all of it back and got a phone to call my cell and I can hear it vibrating on my bed. I could swear it was not there five minutes ago. Either I'm going crazy or someone really is stealing my phone.

I've just accepted that whatever tool i'm using will disappear when i'm using it and it cannot be found. That's why i have a spare for most of my tools; i just grab the spare one and keep right on working  :P

At least it wasn't the Leafs!  Every sport has a team that everyone hates.  AFL-Collingwood, English FA- Man U, who is it in the NFL?

Guitar picks and slides have now started to vanish too.  Maybe the aliens are blues players.

Oh Oh Oh I've got the missin' alien blues'

I woke up this mornin'
Not a biro to be found.
My cell has been stolen
But I'm still around
I've got  those missin' alien blues

My books are gone
my clothes are hidin'
And I still can't write a list of the missin,
Because, Cos, I'm been bitten'
By those missin' alien blues.

My sox are holy
Holy than thou
But when I look for 'em
There no where to be found
Because they've been taken
By those missin' alien blues.

Money and record contract can be forwarded to the The Voice,  c.o. Justmeinoz. Shiver me knickers.  Tassie.

Cash can be forwarded to Cindy for protection and safe keeping.

I detest the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL; the New York Yankees of the American League; the Boston Celtics of the NBA; the Brazilian national womens soccer football team (sorry, Bird); cheating Chinese 12-year-old gymnasts; and all sports that require an "artistic merit" score from judges.

But for some odd reason, I just can't get enough of the Hobart Hurricanes.

Well whoever they are that take all this crap, they are in conspiracy with my husband!

They will make things disappear.  Then I will be rooting around, and yelling about how I can't find my stuff.  I will specifically look in one place, then June will give the signal to the little buggers and they will zap it back when my back is turned.

Then she'll point to it, where I just looked, and it'll be right there on top.  And she just chortles about how clueless I am.

They are working together to drive me mad I tell you!  MAD!!!  I'm sure of it!!!

-Sandy(now were is that damned pen!!!!)
Out of the darkness, into the light.
Following my bliss.
I am complete...

Ah Sandy,

This is a particular type of 'where do things go' . You have a spouse who is communicating with the aliens. She has been taken over. You can check her pockets and you will find....biros....sox....little furry elastic things that you need but never knew you needed, but suddenly do; like  inter galactic hair ties.

There is a cure. Does she play golf?  If so lock the golf clubs away and tell her they must have just disappeared. Wonder where they went, you muse. As the sweat builds you can start the exorcism.

You need the incantation.

" Tell me where the F**k  are my [fill in as needed] is, or your golf clubs are history"

This is a religious chant so it has to be repeated,  usually with increasing volume; at the highest volume (some times called a scream) it then reverts to a whisper, and can be used with great effect.

After the exorcism it is then a ritual to say. 'Ok I forgive you (HA) take me out for dinner.' Of course the ritual has to be performed over any missing item to maintain the exorcism.

There are ancient Arabic texts that suggest, the presentation of flowers, or lingerie, or ignoring the weeks shoe shopping bill can be almost as effective as dinner. The texts suggest careful planning as the aliens may see through some of these rites.

We have to be vigilant :laugh:

Cindy (poor June >:-))

Hugs to both of you BTW
