I lose things.
A lot of things.
All the time.
My losses are total, never partial.
I never lose 1/2 of a sock, or 3/4 of a pair of pantyhose, or even 1/3 of a car key. I lose the entire thing.
Most of the time, my losses are permanent.
Today I discovered I lost just part of something. Not the entire something. Only a major portion of it.
I recently bought 4 large bottles of arthritis strength pain reliever caplets. One for each of my offices, one for my home, and one for my purse.
The bottle in my purse spit out its guts last week. All over the bottom of my purse.
I, being the kind person that I am, scooped up the guts and put them back into the belly of the bottle. I recapped it tightly, and put it back in my purse. That was last week.
This past Saturday I was in some serious
Haha! ‘No defection will be tolerated.’ whip those pills into shape, girlfriend!
Probably put some of the contents in a different bottle and threw the offending non-holding-the-pills bottle away. Pain can make you do that….Pain and 2 small kids when you are in your 60’s can make you do lots of strange things.
I was just telling my son this morning that I am so grateful that I don’t have any aches and pains anyplace. Now I know why that is so important. I also have a big purse, and it has been known upon occasion to swallow some of its contents. I’m betting that your purse got hungry and swallowed that bottle, after grinding it into manageable bite-sized pieces, of course.
You ladies obviously are infested with little people. Some people call them Gremlins. Some people call them Brownies or Fairies, the mischief-making kind. These obnoxious little creatures are always ‘borrowing’ things, stealing things or simply moving things around. Apparently, Wanda, one of your Gremlins has a grandparent with arthritis and they needed your pills really bad and really quick, and they didn’t have time to make off with the whole bottle. haha – hope you feel better soon.
So funny, Wanda. Purses are as good as dryers at losing things. When I do that I usually chalk it up to my absentmindedness. (Is that a word?) Now, thanks to you, I know the culprit is really my purse.
Throw away all the bags except one giant sized one. It needs to be big enough to hold two cell phones,a note pad and plenty of pens,a cola,or bottle of water,a camera,two paperback books,one effective pain med,one effective nerve med,nail clippers,chargers for the cell phones,various sizes of rubber bands,a couple of paper clips,at least two “forever” stamps,a pack of breath mints, one roll of necessary paper,two packs of M&M’s and small pack of suitable chips. I like Funyons for that.This is not a complete list. I suppose you ladies could think of a couple more items.When our children were babies I found that a diaper bag was the perfect ladies purse.Hahahahaha! What do I know,but I loved them. Now, I love the larger bag,same style.
