Rechargeable Batteries

LOL, I have exactly the same problem, I can only track down about half of the rechareables i've bought.

Wife's vibrators?

You are married.

I had the same problem eventually tracked it down to having 3 teenage sons who had no respect for my prize possessions. Still happens to this day except I now have a spreadsheet that I log everything that anyone borrows plus the date borrowed. Compensating for my failing memory with a spreadsheet has saved me a fortune. Jeees the amount of times I would go into the drive and my once shiny spanners were lying in the rain and rusting. :-)

Why is it that they just can't leave anything where YOU put it? Only reason I can see is they're trying to make us think we're losing our marbles.

Where's so and so? Where did you leave it? On the friggin table. What is it? It's a, er, you wouldn't understand. What does it look like? Little silver whelping wheel. Ohhhhh, by the clock on the mantlepiece.

Wife's vibrators?

Nope

Answer. SWMBO replaces flat ones and throws them away.

Cure. Re train SWMBO to understand RECHARGEABLE.

On second thoughts that cure will never work :-)

He he, are you the only possible user, or could someone else have used them?

No only the innards evaporate over time, not the cells themselves. However maybe you need to ask Brian Cox about quantum effects. Brian

But none of the other possible users have ever used them

they have their own charger and stock of batteries

Their batteries are a different type so could not possibly have got mixed up

Unfortunately the batteries are not to hand at the moment to check

And obviously I believe every word of this

Good news however the missing knife has re-appeared in a cupboard that had previously been searched

And the nail scissors lost last autumn are back on my desk

It's the Uncertainty Principle - you know where they should be, but they could be anywhere in the universe.

More likely they are exactly where you put them, and have simply slipped into a parallel universe.

What I want to know is who comes into my workshop and steals my round needle files? The others are always in place in their rack - but not the round ones.

"Can I borrow your girlfriend son - want to check the features?", how did that go down?

And why have I got 14 unmatched single socks ? All lost in the washer ? I think not.

actually yes, more than likely

As I discovered when unblocking the lint filter...

sacks and cheap washing machines need a strict 'count them in and cont them out' into a linen washing BAG.

You'll find them in the same place as your Stanley knife(s) and tape measure(s).

Trouble is, where are the Stanley knife and tape measure?

They've been subverted by your socks

If they were stereotypical teenagers they wouldn't care as they would just expect you to buy them a new one.
