Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for October 06, 2015

@Tony“Do you lose stuff?”No, I know right where my stuff is.Unlike some people I know.

Well, I seem to have lost my mind…anybody seen it?But I don’t know anybody like x_Tech is talking about…..that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…if I can …. um… find it…

… now where would I put my story…..

It’s around here someplace….probably with my keys….

@SusanWe know where your keys are.

Rose…. I know your pain.

A few weeks ago I took my car in cos I had to add a small amount of coolant every week or two…nothing much, a pint or so…..

The car is old; the mechanic and I both figured I had a cracked hose…. No big. $20-30 cos they’re good to me in that shop.Turned out the location of the drip was “probably” a tiny crack in the radiator, instead…he said they’d patch it.Well, of course, the leak was actually in a seam, so they couldn’t….and my mechanic said it could suddenly get much bigger…

So my $20 leaky hose, in less than an hour, turned into a brand new $450 radiator….

for a 1998 station wagon with 150-ish thousand miles on it…But what can you do?It runs great and I can’t buy a newer car…so I put an expensive band-aid on this one.

My kids were notorious for leaving jackets at the track after practice. Usually, we got them back.

Bev…. from yesterday… I know you can’t stay up for the new time.

I was saying I wanted the comics to go back to posting earlier, so you’d still be awake to get Tony’s question, and save my poor feet.California is farther from Tony…. I think.

Of all the things that I have lost,.I miss my mind the most.

No, I misplace stuff.

Like Susan, I’ve lost my mind. The last time I saw it, the cat had retrieved it from under the bed and was batting it around the house.

@Tony“Do you lose stuff?”.Well I once lost something a long long time ago.I’ve been looking for it ever since but I still haven’t found my virginity.

When I do lose stuff, Saint Anthony helps me find it. Laugh if you want, but I ask him to help me find the article, and it always turns up.

RE: bev, from last night, yes the “banee” can see their own comments but no one else can.

I apparently have the largest “really good place” in the world. Everything I put there disappears. It’s just gotten to the point that I can’t remember what I have lost, so it must not have been important.

When I was younger, I saw an older man I knew walking around in circles sweeping the grass and weeds with his foot. Being naturally inquisitive (nosey) I asked him what he was doing. “I lost my pocket knife” he told me. So being the problem solver that I am, I tried to help, so I asked “Where did you lose it ?”He stopped, turned and looked at me disdainfully and said " If I knew that, it wouldn’t be lost, now would it? " When you are a child, many of life’s wisdoms are taught by the ancient ones.

Of all the things I’ve lost, I think I miss my mind the most.

I finally got it all together and then I forgot where I put it.

“Took the scenic route” Isn’t that line from Modern Family?
