Missing Items
On another thread, some items were mentioned that always seem to vanish.
My miseries seem to be socks and those plastic tabs on store bought bread.
Does anybody else have things that just seem to vanish?

Knitting needles. I have more than I could possibly ever use all at once, but buy again because I can’t find. Then suddenly they all show up. Same with the little thingy with the holes in it that tells you what size they are.

Many times when I have lost the paddles to my bread machine, the paddles are actually buried in the bottom of the loaf of bread.  I've misplaced the blades to my meat grinder the same way. Luckily i realized what i did before i started making sausage.

Ratcheting garden pruners. They have been known to run and hide every time I set it down.
Screws. They fall on a bare vinyl floor and instantly vanish. Screws and nuts have a Bermuda triangle relationship with floors. Somewhere on the other side of the Universe, on the other end of the floor wormhole, is a mighty pile of screws and mismatched nuts.

If you happen to be missing 2.25 mm to 2.75 mm needles, I probably borrow them because I'm usually missing 1 in a messy box of many sizes.

My Kitchenaid kitchen scissors. I 3 pairs of them, and 2 kids. If I can find 1 pair at any given time, I'm doing well.

Scissors for me too.
I cannot tell you how many pairs of scissors have disappeared.
I can think of 20 right off the top of my head.. the 10 I took when I cleaned out my dad's house and the 10 I bought in bulk to replace those ten.
And then most of the scissors that I have bought to replace those.
All in the last 7 years.....
And they don't reappear. They stay gone.
