I'd have responded sooner, but I've been looking for my glasses all day. Which, of course, were hanging in my shirt collar. :o

Dick....You'll have visit my shop so we can go over the finer points! :)
Nice to see you lurking on the forum Dick! :)
Jeff...trying to find my glass....WITHOUT having my glasses on usually winds up using a strong flashlight and looking for "glints" of reflection.
I TRY to keep them in one of 4 spots....but being nearsighted, I take them off everytime I want a close look at something....
and then it's the old game of "Were the heck was the last place I used them" :)
Precisely my condition and resultant behavior.Quote:

I guess loosing our faculties as we age is nature's cruel lesson; enjoy what you got, while you got it, 'cause it will be going away. Eventually. If I remember correctly...(:p)!

Ok, my thought for the day: Why is it that when you are looking for something it’s the last place you look that you find it? Why can’t it be the first place you look?Quote:

As soon as you find it, THAT'S the last place you looked (even if it was the first place). :)
What I like for a time waster, is hunting for something that simply isn't there!
Mom got into crafts a few years ago, and needed some kind of plier.....Didn't know what would be best for her use, so gave her several jewelry pliers,
BUT I needed the rest back SOON.
She chose a reverse springed(let handle go and it stays clamped) fine needlenose useful for shop/leather/lapidary/general use. (I've forgotten to buy a new pair).
A couple times now I've searched shop/leather area/jewelry area/sewing area/electrical tackle box/kitchen junk draw/etc. SEVERAL times....
Before I remember I don't HAVE them. :)
Also happens on "borrowed" tools,worn out/broken tools, etc.
Bright side is...sometimes you find tools and object while searching you forgot you HAD! :)
DEFINITE plus is that you're alive long enough to BE Older!
Have you ever made a special jig to hold something or do something and then forgot what it is for???
So you then decide you cannot ever throw it away ???
I have a few of those...
The only REAL advantage of OUR collective problems is that we all get to hide our own Easter Eggs! I'm still a little red faced but have really enjoyed finding out I'm not alone! Russ
