- - - - - Lost and Found Dept. - - - - -
Over the past year, we've had some problems here with keeping our electronic devices from disappearing.
The television remote went missing for 3 days. Eventually found it in the kids' toybox, underneath 3 Barbies, 134 Lego pieces, and two stuffed toys. I asked my girls (8 and 5) how it got there: "Idaknow...."
My wife and I each have a cellular phone. Very handy to have, especially when I'm wandering the aisles at the local Safeway, and SWMBO finds that we really need another gallon of milk. We've lost 2 of those in the last year.
My Palm Pilot (actually, it's a Palm M105) disappeared one day. I found it on the floor of my car, underneath the passenger seat. I really have absolutely no idea of how it got there, but I know that I'm the one that lost it to begin with!
Now, we have another phone issue. In the kitchen, we have a cordless phone, with an integrated answering system. Guess what's disappeared? Yup, the handset has gone "poof". There's a button on the base station that sets off the ringer on the handset so you can find the miserable thing, and we've tried that for every room in the house, plus outside, plus the garage. No luck either.
Since I really don't want to spend another 40 bucks for a new cordless phone/answering machine combo, I'll keep looking. It's probably in the dishwasher, or something like that....
