Knicker Nabber

I'm looking for knickers and it's a worry; What'll I do if I'm caught in a hurry? (These days my signals have got a bit blurry.) I've looked in the closet and under the bed. I know that's strange but who knows where I'll shed? I've found only two and I know there were more. They're not in the dryer nor in the wrong drawer, Not on the line or in the fridge door. (You'll gather by this that I've lost things before!) What have I done? Have I made a mistake or Could it be that I've harbored an underpants taker?

This is such fun ! I can well relate ! I look for clothing for hours together after misplacing them somewhere. Senile forgetfulness, Lol.

I can't really "relate" to this, Elizabeth, but I enjoyed it immensely. I guess guys don't have this problem...at least not in the "knicker" department. Maybe good old Saint Knick will bring you some more for Christmas.

I love to give you a laugh, Jim! I hope you're having a great Thanksgiving time. No turkey time here in Australia , but our family still remembers Ohio. Elizabeth

Thanks so much, Wendy! It seems like I have a busy little three-year old inside who not only does things that are foolish but then doesn't tell me about it! You, too? Elizabeth

I've done that one, too! Latest was I found my hearing aids in my shoe after a week of looking! ElizaABETH

I have emptied out a whole large full council bin onto a large plastic sheet and gone through everything in it to retrieve my hearing aids accidentally thrown out ( after going through everything in the house first) !

Ha! Ha! Good one, Elizabeth. Are you sure you did not have them on? I often look for my glasses for ages only to find I am wearing them!!

Ha, ha. Never know when or where a 'knicker nabber' --- such a cute title! --- might strike these days. lol... And I want to thank you big-time for your comment about all the heroes being in Ukraine these days. So true! -- From Zelensky down to the 'lowliest spear-carrier,' they are all bona-fide heroes to me. (If Obama, Trump, and Biden had had 10% of their courage and had stood up to Putin, there would be no need for so many dead heroes today!). Faith and Strength, gw

Thank you, Gershon! Yes, I'm serious about the Ukranians. I'm so scared that we will let them down in the end! Elizabeth

(chuckling) I love the last line, especially "an underpants taker." What a neat play on words. I do hope you found more of your knickers, Elizabeth. One can't have too many of them!

All is well in knickerland! I even found the radio in the fridge! Elizabeth
