I arrived at forgetful one day in 1990, (I was 32) when I had a brain injury. I don't say this for sympathy, (who needs it?) I tell you this because it has been real entertaining watching my friends reach the 50's and complain about being forgetful. I just tell them "welcome to my neighborhood!". I was told by my doctor that what I have, is a form of amnesia. You are more than welcome to borrow my excuse if you need to! Mwwwahahahahah! :lol: It could be worse, we could all be losing our hearing instead...What?

Ohhh! I thought I was loosing my mind. The Greemlins explain what is going on in my house. Last week I was making a block, the Bear's Paw; I had 1/4 done and when I finish the second forth and was going to saw them together, guess what! it is nowhere. I cleaned up my sewing room, put away everything and nothing. It is gone and couldn find it till today.
I do have the brother of the one that stills socks. One of every pair and I lost a shoe since last October; hi hill, so it is a she!
Last one, lost my EQ manual, since July.
Are you saying the Gremling will return the items? I hope so!

I quit worrying about these things long ago , I have so many WIPs that if something goes missing i just go to something else. I put all my marbles in a jar on the shelf next to pics of grandchildren so that I always know where they are, even if I cant find anything else when I want it.

The next day I can walk in and TA DA -- there is the item in plain site!!!! I swear I have Gremlins who hide things and then return them the next day. Any one else have this problem?

My gremlin stays busy all the time. He once took some "challenge" fabric and hid it from me. Took me almost 2 years to find it - it was tucked in between other fabrics right where I had looked several times (other people had looked for me, too). I am always finding things are not where I know I put them down...sometimes they show up the next day, but sometimes they don't show until I buy a replacement!
