Yesterday while giving dad his bed time pills he wanted to put pepper on them so they would taste better, then he thought better of it.. well to make long story short our pepper shaker is M.I.A. WE have looked all over the house for it, dad even helped but he blames me for it being lost because i did not take it from him. But on the plus side of the missing shaker dad has been laughing about it all day asking me where i hid it on him... I just laugh and say i will let you know once i remember where I put it. Dad smiles and laughs and says "are you sure you dont have ALZ?" what can you do in a time lkie that but laugh.

Kid--I hope that the papper shaker turns up.

A while back I was unable to locate the cordless phone. It disappeared on the day Charlie got sick and had to be brought home from the club. I quietly searched the house to no avail. Asked Charlie about it several times and got blank looks, and shrugs. I asked again and got the suggestion that it might be in the car. He offered to go out and check. Sure enough 5 minutes later he came back proudly carrying the thing. When I asked him how it got there his response was, "I don't know, you are always doing crazy things". I managed to hold my tongue and thank him for finding it.

My best guess is that he somehow got the concept of cell phones and our cordless phone mixed up and wanted to play it safe when he went out the following day. He at least deserves credit for thinking and taking an action to keep himself safe.

Hey Kid,,,sounds like your Dad has a sense of humor,,and you handled it divinely too! Oh,,,and you might as well get used to being blamed for everything ,,,,cause they never do anything out of the ordinary!

Keep up the great work,,and your wonderful sense of humor,,,when you can laugh about something,,even though your stomach is in knots,,and you want to scream,,just try to let it roll right off. Peace

just a lil update. the pepper shaker is back. its no longer M.I.A But I'm still to blame even tho it was in with his pj's. oh well its back. its 11:28 ctr time and dad just came down the hall carrying it, smiling and proudly proclaiming, that I am the one who has lost my mind for putting it where it dont belong in with his pj's.. Then asks since i found it can i have a icecream bar.. he got his icecream and i have the pepper.. fair enough trade i guess. lol

Kid--That sounds like a fair trade to me. He earned his ice cream by being creative enough to find a good place to stash the pepper and beinging able to remember that you were looking for it.

This disease (or condition) is a mystery to me. For example....

How can someone that cannot remember what they had for breakfast be able to remember that there will be a full moon on Jan. 3????

When our grandson was 13, he couldn't find the cordless phone one day. He said "Why don't they attach these to the base by a cord or something so you always can find it?" He'd never seen a traditional phone!

Barbilou, too funny. Have you ever gotten puzzled looks from saying "You sound like a broken record?" My son thought I meant, like, running faster than the previous record-holder, and thought that would SOUND like "Hooray, that's wonderful" and therefore thought I was real happy with his repeating the same question to me over and over and over and......

Obviously AL has been busy. Hiding the pepper shaker.

You've handled it great. I love hearing about finding the humor in these things.

James, I am sending a list of all the items that AL has swiped from my house.. would you be so kind to tell him we would like them back.. now!!!!

AL has swiped my husband's dentures...and hid them behind a painting on the wall. "He" stuffed rotted Kiwi's in my MIL's slippers. "He" hid the coffee pot decanter behind the bookcase in the living room. Now if I can blame him for the missing socks, I think we have all our bases covered....

Don't get your hopes up..... Last I knew he was hiding everything in some storage unit somewhare in Idaho.... or was it in the dryer..

Well Al is at it again, this morning i woke to find the cordless phone, my jacket, shoes,and again the pepper shaker along with the salt shaker all missing in action. found the shakers in the disdwasher, the cordless phone in the microwave, but my jacket and shoes are still MIA. good thing i have more then one pair of shoes If you would be so kind as to tell Al to bring back my jacket i would appricate it, as its kinda cold here, we are 19 degrees without wind chill, so if any of you see all send him back my way would you? thanks

AL must have stopped by here on his way making rounds and gave BF's Mom someone elses gum.
She had a headache today so I let her lay down (knowing she would never sleep) and when I went in to give her some of her daily medication and get her up for lunch.. she was laying there chewing away..

Our exchange about the Gum:
Me: What do you have in your Mouth
Her: Gum (still chewing)
Me: Oh really where did you get your gum?
Her: I bought it from the nice man.
Me: that is nice what flavor is it?
Her: Spearmint
Me: Is that in the Green Package or the White Package?
Her: The green
Me: Well you need to spit the gum out before you take your medication (handing her a tissue)
Her: OK, taking tissue and acting like she was spitting the gum out, handing me the empty tissue to throw away..

So if anyone is missing some spearmint gum my BF's Mom chewed it.. sorry

Wish I could catch AL, we still have a few things that are MIA and one of them is a cordless phone
