Lost my sgian

I have the same problem as many of you, but it's not ME that finds the "safe place" for stuff. It's my wife. She will put things of mine away and then forget where she put them. But she assures me that they're put away safely!

This is why I have a special drawer reserved for kilt stuff. Hose, flashes/garters, belts, kilt pin, sgian dubh, and all other accessories go in that drawer as soon as I take them off, lest my wife put them away somewhere.

I'm a bit pleased to find I'm not the only one with such a wife.

This is what I call "cleaning up in FRONT of me (instead of the more usual "cleaning up after me"
I was gone for a month and the spousal unit took it upon herself to reorganize my office, clean out the closet, file stuff. It was a disaster. If she does it again in the NEXT 32 years it is divorce for sure!!

Now to the problem at hand, NO ADVICE, I merely lament with you, it is but stuff, but it is the stuff about which our lives unwillingly orbit.

I feel your pain, having lost loved items over the years. I am also a "safe place" person and sincerely hope that your sgian is tucked cosily away somewhere in your home, waiting patiently for you to rediscover it.

You have my sympathies, David, it is so frustrating to be unable to find things.
Unless it has dropped out of your hose without you being aware while you were out somewhere, which is unlikely, you should find it again, preferably sooner rather than later. It could have fallen inside the hose and gone through the wash inside the sock, have you checked your hose to see if there might be a loose sgian-dhu lying at the bottom of one of them?

Look in your sporran and in your shoes.

I once found the cordless phone in the refrigerator. My daughter, to this day, swears she didn't do it, but I still believe, she was talking on the phone while getting a soft drink and just placed it on the shelf when the conversation ended and took her soda out, leaving the phone there. Of course I do suffer from a bit of CRS on occasion.

I hate putting things in drwaers because I then have to rummage through all of them to find what I'm looking for.

Having just returned from another unsuccessful search, let me say thank you to all of you. I haven't found it, but I feel a bit better knowing I am not alone.
CRS? Well, I protest not I, but I know it is time to admit it may be an unpleasant reality.
I really hope I find it as it was very special to me
