Title: sooooooooo
Post by: thumbs on February 09, 2012, 08:16:38 am: have you ever needed something, went to look for it because you knew you had it. When you couldn't find it , ran to the store to buy it. Got home, used it and put it back in the cabinet right next to the one you couldn't find. they must have some type of a law( Murphy's) about this. What am I going to do with 2 almost full bottle of blue lock-tite?? Richard aka thumbs :o :o :o

When I got home I got an image in my mind of it hanging on a nail in my shop. Went out there to see and low and behold it was there. I just think I am getting older.

Post by: BilltheDiver on February 09, 2012, 11:54:34 am: The opposite is even worse! Ie: when you start to pick up something at the store but don't because you are sure you have one at home. Then when you get home you don't have one and can remember when you used it up. Now you are forced to go back and buy it.

Post by: wombatie on February 10, 2012, 12:26:35 am: I had a friend once that always took a grocery list with her when she went shopping but at the top was written, WHAT I DO NOT NEED THIS WEEK. She was always thinking "I think I need some of that and ending up with 2 or 3 of the item hence the reason for the note.

Go upstairs twice befoe remembering what you went up for, then finding it is downstairs after all.
Start a project, put it on one side for the want of something from the shop, then find it again 2 years later.
