Any o you mudcatters tree it
Its up to us to free it
With pins or not
Whether ballanced or caught
Leeneia's heartache won't stop till we see it

Many thanks for your encouragement and condolences, but it's probably not in the settee, as it was last seen on the sewing machine table. And yet, the missing pincushion is not on it, under it, or behind it. Explain that, Mr. Scientist!

Meanwhile, check out the Donegal Mazurka, which has returned from wherever missing things go.

Check your beagle. Ours ate one pins and all. Passed them without a problem too. Stupidist animal on the face of the earth if you don't count the Airedale who ate a box of 48 crayons and pooped in technicolor for a week. Sorry for the drift.
Maybe it eloped with the strawberry they always attach to it?

Do you have a cat, or packrats?

And, did you check the trash? I lose more stuff that way.

Or, it could be wherever one sock of each pair, and washcloths go.

When you find it look around the area for the Bic pen caps , and missing guitar picks. (see, this thread does have some musical content)

Everyone knows the Sock Dragon which lives in the washing machine eats one in each pair....pens, pencils and guitar picks fall through real time and end up on a special planet just for them, important paperwork/bills dissolve until just after the posting date......everything else migrates to behind the cushions, under the sofa or into the bin.....but where, in the Name of All Gods do car keys go?

I thought it was in the refrigerator vegetable draw, But when I checked it wasn't and the Limes for my Vodka and Tonic were gone also. So I figured I would do a thorough search of the premises and went to get my glasses only to find out they were gone (two Pair) to the same place the car keys went. Darn what a mess.

Dan, have you looked on your head? You wouldn't BELIEVE the number of times that's where my glasses had gotten themselves to...
I firmly believe in gremlins. They're the little invisible guys, kind of like the Underpants Gnomes, only these ones take your car keys - for a while - and then put them right where you just looked and they weren't there!

We have a wormhole in our house and just about everything disappears down it ('cept the dust of course).

Sailor Dan? The limes for your vodka - tonics are missing? Maybe that should be your first clue. Do you remember where you last saw them? Could it be on the bar next to the empty vodka bottle? And did you lose the keys or did some kind and wise friend tuck them away for safe keeping? HMMM> A true folkie except for the vodka-tonic. Shouldn't you be drinking Guinness?

Sinsull;

I found my keys, hanging in the bathroom, I found my glasses in the pantry, Mortica has my limes and if she looks close she probably has the vegetable draw also, its missing. The Vodka is half full, but now the tonic is missing and so is the Guinness and OUCH I just sat on the damn tomatoe with its pins.

I just threw the damn tomatoe out the window and it hit a Kat in the butt. Last seen it was headed west yowling for it mom and it wasnt laughing.

Boo Hoo (with tears) I just aint havin a good day. Boo Hoo (with more tears)

No sock dragon here, but since washing machines would rather run on socks than electricity I pin mine together. Machine doesn't eat pairs, I always have a safety pin with me (if I'm wearing socks) and it gets me funny looks wherever I go.

Keys morph into other things, and then change back, and I'm afraid to look in the veggie drawer. It might eat me.

But I would like to know how it is that needles just slip away.

Of course my daughter once threw a Koosh ball through the vent hole in her room and after a day it showed up in her brother's room and the ONLY way it could have gotten to where it was, was to have gone through his vent hole and they're only 6" wide and 6' off the floor... I think it just went on a tour of the solar system. Buy another pincushion and the first will come home.

WEll, the tomato with strawberry attached is in Phoebe's toy box, along with 3 socks, 27 keys, all the bootlaces in the house and the lid off the WD40. Oh, and she is fast asleep on the floor using a Barbie poster as a blanket. Stark naked...... Her, not Barbie....

As for the vodka, it's in the cupboard by the piano, with the sheet music. Obviously getting three sheets to the wind..... The wind is found mainly in the region of my bottom, because I've been drinking Belgian beer..... (palm to keep you kalm.....) I'm now as kalm as a newt, and my hair won't dry.

I was "Absolutly" certain that the thing went attatched to the thread "I'm Sorry", you know, the thread that attached the strawberry to to tomato.........with or without vodka. If that is truly the case, it will never be seen again. Buy a new one, without the help of Mr. Absolut.

I heard it singing "Home Grown Tomatoes" by Guy Clark in a little B L T joint off--Broadway. But when the short order cook appeared to be running short of a key ingedient and the glances were menacing it rolled out the door in search of a haystack. Check all the haystacks it has several needles so it might just be found.
