View Full Version : Lost my car keys again

Before I start, let me just say that I am really good at misplacing my car keys, and what I did was in an attempt to prevent me tearing my hair out trying to find my keys.
Before my last trip which was to Wichita KS, I took my car keys off my work key ring and placed them in a corner of our Keys draw so if someone had to move my car for some reason, they could. Well, I am back from my trip, and my keys are nowhere to be found. The car is still nicely tucked up in the garage, and the only odd thing is a bird poop right smack in the middle of where I would look while driving. This is odd because I cant stand having things in my line of sight. I asked my son if he had moved the carf, and he said no, so possibly a bird got in the garage and targeted the windshield. Anyway, DC (the wife) and I have had two arguments about this today, and this is not good after being away. Anybody got any suggestions, I looked in all the obvious places this morning, but I have to admit to being a biot suspicious. Oh, btw, my son said he thought that the keys were in that draw too.
This just doesnt make any sense.
Aaaaargh, tears out some more hair. If the keys are truly gone, its really expensive to have new ones made or the locks etc replaced.
Thoughts anyone. :crazyman:
Cheers

The bird poop is really strange. I hope you find them!

UGH! Stuff like that happens to me all the time! I have two things I try, but only one of them ever works for me. There's the "visualize tying a silver cord around it and drawing it back to yourself" trick, but that never seems to work for me. When I can't find something importanant after trying everything else, I always end up asking my (dead) great-grandmother to please find whatever's missing and bring it back. 80% of the time when I do that I find it smack dab in the middle of the living room floor the next morning. I only do that as a last resort because it freaks me out every time it happens!
Anyway...I'd try the silver cord thing if you haven't already...I know lots of people swear by it, and maybe that's what's leaving things on my living room floor. ;) If that doesn't work...uh...her name is Marion Hatch. ;) :lol: :whatgives I hope you find them soon! Good luck!
And I agree...that bird poop seems very suspicious!

Guess where he found his keys? That's right, in the drawer. So much for your "suspicions", hun. And thanks for the heartfelt apology. *sarcasm*

I have this odd thing I do when I loose something. I sing to it...as I am walking around kind of making a vision in my head about the missing object....and sing to it...like ~~ Keys....where are you?~~ It usually works....how or why? Not sure :)

Well, I'm very happy that you found the keys http://mysticwicks.com/images/smilies2/woot.gif
(VERY expensive to replace these days),
but I'm very pissed that you came up to Wichita
and didn't PM me to meet you for lunch or something. http://mysticwicks.com/images/smilies/tantrum.gif

Umm, at this point, I would suggest a key locker with hooks.. Then everyone could see at a glance where they are... I do it too.

No! Don' wanna! You can't make me!!! (well, actually, you can, so I won't tempt fate and the Site God by thumbing my nose at the PTB)
Life is happiness now. I can't stay mad at him for too long - those puppy dog eyes are hard to resist. I mean, really! We must have a resident Key Monster (cousin to the Sock Monster in the Dryer), with the frequency that he misplaces his keys.

Our son turns around and asks why we're calling him a peanut product! Then he laughs. Goober isn't an insult, in our books. :bouncingb

No 'maybe' about it. Definately next time we must hook up, okay you goober?
I've been calling my grandchildren goobers for years. It's a term of endearment, eh?
