Tried it, didn't like it. Prefer ginnantonic, thanks.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

I'm sure you guys are getting tired of these stories, but it has happened, again. I spent two weeks looking for my key chain that has my car key and my flashlight. I looked everywhere including the frigerator and under my bed. I started assuming that I did something stupid, like drop it in the trash by mistake.

Well, today I decided to clean out the utility drawer in my kitchen and SURPRISE, my keys were hidden amongst a knot of wires from old AC adapters and unused headphones. This was the first place I had looked because it's right under the place where I usually drop the keys and I had searched thru this drawer several times but of course I was unable to actually see what I was looking for.

I keep telling my optometrist about this but he always assures me that my prescription is still accurate.

This is a good lesson because when someone tells me they lost something I always ask them, "where is the first place you looked?" and tell them to look there ten more times, because that's where it's going to end up.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

This time I lost my wallet as I was driving to the store. When I checked it wasn't in my pocket so I went back home and spent an hour looking for it in places that I already knew didn't have it, like my pants from yesterday.

I got exasperated and was ready to give up and then I spotted it in my car it was next to the seat and the door. I could have searched my house FOREVER and it wasn't even there!

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

I can't seem to see things that are right in front of my face.

I spent an hour today looking for my Makita drill so I could fix a tool that I needed for some garden work. I was able to find both batteries, the charger and the flashlight, but the drill was more elusive. I searched each room in my house multiple times and started to wonder whether one of my Mexicans took it. I even looked inside of the other tool boxes that already have different tools in them. I was desperate. I couldn't even remember the last time I used it.

Just as I was about to give up I went back to the first place I started looking and, surprise, there was my drill! I was almost ready to go out and buy another drill.

I used to joke and wonder why "you always find things in the last place you look," but I'm starting to wonder if it's more likely that I'm just blind and not seeing things that aren't lost and are right where they should be.

Nice very nice. Sometimes you find things when you are not searching for them. The harder you search less are the chances of getting them

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

It happened again. I lost my house key and spent the day looking for it. I found several things that I had been looking for like a miniature mother-of-pearl damascus steel pocket knife and my crescent wrench set. I finally found the key after rummaging thru the garage: I left it in the front-door lock overnight after coming home late.

Good thing I didn't get robbed.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

Brother Nobar, I was going to ask whether your father told you what causes blindness. But then I saw this next to your name, and realised it couldn't be that. There must be another reason.

Is it possible that you have any Syrian ancestors? I hope not! Or is your ancestry purely American - going back for thousands of years?
2 Kings 6:18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

When I lose small things, I pray. God sees all and knows where things are (In that respect, He is very much like Mrs Bathfire).

I prayed that my gold Patek Philippe watch would reveal itself unto me - I last remember having it in a gas station bathroom. I haven't found it yet, but that is only because God has answered "Wait."

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

It happened again. I was going fishing and went inside for s One minute later my keys are GONE! I looked for 30 minutes, I even looked in the fridge, more than once.

I finally found the keys in the fridge. I had grabbed a Miller Lite can and dropped them in the case. I found them when I grabbed a second one for the road.

I'm not surprised, anymore, but losing things over and over is really annoying.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

Brother Nobar, the solution is to have 2 sets of everything. It's very unlikely you'll lose both sets and, even if you do, you're twice as likely to find one of them. If your Alzheimers continues to progress necessary, you can accrue additional sets of items so you'll be sure never to lose anything.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

Here is another good one:


Today I plugged my cell phone in to its charger and then spent 30 minutes looking for the phone around the house before I realized my mistake. I may never learn. I will never be on time.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

I've been meaning to ask you, Brother King, if you are related to a Nosmo King. My husband met him many years ago at a tent revival in Kentucky. As far as he can remember, he thought Nosmo was from the Iowa area. Interesting man but always smelled of cigarettes.

Re: Nobar King, you're blind as a bat!

Nobar, did you get the JesOS 10.7 update? An option is the Lost Soul(c) feature. It tracks your phone, car, keys and each person you have a Grain of God(tm) (looks like a speck of rice) inserted in. Miss Cookie does it in the Church office (make an appointment).
At any moment, I can see almost what God sees. Where everything and everyone is. Just do not forget your password.
