14 December 2007

I need your help-find-suff vibes!!!! [More:]
The BF wears his (late) grandfather's dog tags and only takes them off to shower. He's 98% sure that he put them on after showering yesterday. I don't remember him wearing them in bed last night. Now, neither of us can find them.

I've been through all the laundry that was gathering in the bathroom (where he might have tossed them when getting in the shower). I've shuffled all the bedding and pillows and checked between the bed and the wall. He has checked the car, his jacket and his desk at work.

They are nowhere. I'm panicking.
/fights off urge to cry

I have found a tank top I've been missing for months, a pair of underwear, $7, a menthol cigarette, and a post-it note with a random phone number on it.
You've checked the bathroom, on the sides of the sink, anywhere else he might have set them and had them fall down?

And the pockets of the dirty clothes?

Counters: check. I even went through the bathroom trash can, since it sits between the counter and the toilet and thought they may have fallen in there.

Dirty clothes: check. I shook everything out and checked pockets before moving it into the laundry room and putting it in the washer. I even checked the lint trap of the dryer (my transit card ended up there once).

If he only takes them off to shower then they're there someplace in your house and they'll turn up. It's pretty unlikely that he lost them while wearing them - he'd have heard them fall off or something. Check the pockets of everything like occiblu suggested, including the pockets of his robe, pockets of stuff in the closet, the trash can in the bathroom, the top drawer of the dresser (might have been on the dresser and fallen in the top drawer), the nightstands, the floors, and inside slippers. Oh, and I think that $7 might be mine.

Hope you find them soon - let us know!

The rule is this: I find money in pants pockets while doing laundry, it's mine. Sorry, Kangaroo. ;)

OH. MY. GOD. I've been tearing the place apart for an hour. My back hurts extra from moving the bed and the couch and crawling on the floor.

They were sitting on the bookcase the whole flipping time. AARRGGH!!

Thanks guys. :)

I think this whole thing was just a ploy by the BF to get me to do the laundry. I'm on my second load.

YAY!

Well, BOO! on the laundry thing, but YAY! on finding them!

Have you called the number on the post-it yet?
posted by netbros 14 December | 19:57
I know how you feel. I took my son's temperature yesterday with the digital thermometer. After, I cleaned it, put it back in it's holder, and put it.....I don't know where. I went to use it in the morning, and could not find it - anywhere!!! I searched all over, in cabinets, on the floor (blaming the cats), in the kitchen, the bathroom, the other bathroom, the living room. No where to be found.

Came home, and it was on the counter, missing the holder top. No one will 'fess up.

I would call the number, but I'm on hold with Ticketmaster now. In the spirit of finding things, I figured I'd check up on the Styx tickets I ordered in August and haven't received. The show is on the 29th.

I suspect that my mail wasn't being delivered. My name fell off our mailbox some time ago and the BF just put it back up last week. Since this summer, I've missed several bills (not a big deal because I can check/pay everything online), a new credit card, and these tickets (I believe). Sprint even sent me a text message to say that my bill had been returned to them.

Did you check the freezer? That's where I leave things.

Right, I should be cleaning.
posted by shane 14 December | 20:32
You should be cleaning! And I did find them. I'm wearing them now. Not letting them out of my sight.

Overheard in the bar where I'm currently working on my laptop: || OMG! Bunnies!
