Pickles by Brian Crane for August 12, 2013

My Mom always says look with your eyes not your mouth !

I always manage to find what I’m looking for after I’ve spent a fortune replacing it because I can’t find it.

If I can’t find it, I probably don’t need it. The major exceptions are house keys, car keys and my wife.

I find the opposite is true. It’s the stuff I use the most that usually gets lost.

Usually, the wife is in charge of the house; the man is in charge of the garage. For instance: My wife knows exactly where things are. I know where tools and stuff are — duh, they’re “in the garage.” Somewhere.

Nothing ever jumped out of the fridge at me that way.

Nothing is ever really lost until Momma can’t find it. :-)

Was it what you wanted, Earl?

My mother-in-law is legally blind —but after living in her house for 50-plus years, she has everything so well organized (and knows her way around the rooms) that she can find anything she needs. Only exceptions are things like asking whether a light bulb is 60 or 100 watts ‘cause she can’t read the lettering on it.

When I misplace my cell phone , I call it with my Magic-jack…$19.95 a year and works great.

It’s a guy thing. Has something to do with testosterone.

If something actually jumps from the fridge into your hands, I’d say it’s time to throw it out!

HEY, HUN… What’s this fuzzy stuff in the back of the fridge?

I usually wait at least 10 minutes before answering any questions that starts with, “Where is the…?” because the asker usually finds it at that point.

Looks like a round of cheese..Cambert?Havarti?Gouda?It must be that kind of “runny” cheese..better catch itbefore it gets too runny..(This IS a cheese shop isn’t it?)

This reminds me of a book I read a long time ago called “How to Find Lost Objects” by Professor Solomon. For people like myself (and of course Earl), it is well worth the read.
