Gentlemen and Ladies, we do not lose things, there is a person known to us who has passed on yet who resides in our homes, offices, workshops, garages, and other locations which we visit. These persons love to move things about just to keep us confused as to how we are running our lives. In my case is it my mother, who has always been a joker. Grandmother sometimes joins her and between the two of them have sometimes made my life pure 'ell. As an example, the clip-on sunglasses I use cost $13.00 and I have several of them. Why do I have several of them? Because when I would set a pair down knowing exactly where I set them, when I go back to pick them up for use, they are not to be found. Now instead of spending a lot of time looking for them I just grab another pair and go on my way. I'm sure it frustrates my mother no end that I don't waste time but really when I need them, I need them now, not two hours from now. Grandmother has hidden guns, knives and even an axe from me a time or two. I always find them but never where I left them. In the case of the axe, I set it deep into my chopping block and went inside to use the facility. When i came back out to chop more wood it was gone. Two days later I found it in the rack where it belongs. I know I didn't put it there, so there is no other explanation, other than grandmother moved it. It is a double bitted axe and I suppose she figured someone might fall and hurt themselves on the upended blade. Plenty of other examples exist.
