You don't live alone. Is it a perfect pan for draining engine oil or washing motor parts in kerosene?
That was my thought also. Oh Glen, run and hide if you are smart.

... I keep telling her to always put them back where they belong...
I've heard that the knack of not losing your glasses rests on not putting them down somewhere unusual, i.e. to try and stick to familiar places. I have put this into practise and it does help.
Katie, I live with this. SO is constantly misplacing things like her credit card, glasses, keys and cell. I keep telling her to always put them back where they belong but she's in a hurry and just forgets them or sticks them wherever it's convenient. I'll bet she's driven thousands of miles backtracking to find an item. Her glasses are most often lost.
I don't usually misplace anything, but when I do it makes me nuts. I don't ever, and I can say this honestly, misplace my keys or cell phone...
Me too!
Addie, we are on a fixed income, too. One thing my husband can't get used to is not getting a check every Friday like we did when we worked. The money that comes in on the first of the month has to last all month. I have given his kids instructions that if something should happen to me, someone will have to start taking care of his finances.
Katie, my husband is very neat and doesn't like to see things sitting out. He will put things away, sometimes when I'm still using them, but puts them where they fit, not necessarily where they belong. And if asked, he doesn't remember where he put them. LOL Gotta love him! Glad you found your pan.

I have 2 pairs of prescription reading glasses and 6 pairs of those "of the peg" "readers" I do my serious reading with the prescription specs and have the others scattered round the house - kitchen, dining room, sitting room, bedroom, a pair by the phone and a pair in the car. So why can I never find any of them when I need them? When I do find them they're all in the same room or pocket!I've heard that the knack of not losing your glasses rests on not putting them down somewhere unusual, i.e. to try and stick to familiar places.

Sensible in its way but when you wear reading glasses and can't see past your nose when you're wearing them you have to take them off sometimes when you aren't in the "putting your glasses down" place. I found a pair of mine outside on the window sill this morning - after searching the house for them last night. I'd had to put them on while I read the instructions for the glyphosphate and took them off so I could see to use it. I wasn't going to go back in the house and put them in their proper "putting down" place so I put them on the window sill and forgot about them.I've heard that the knack of not losing your glasses rests on not putting them down somewhere unusual, i.e. to try and stick to familiar places.

I see myself as a sort of non-professorial absent-minded Professor
I had a strappy tee shirt on and they wouldn't grip so fell out every time I leaned over something on the ground.If I take my glasses off, I fold them shut and hang them by one stem from my neckline.

It was a case of "if it was alive it would have bitten me". I experience that on occasion just because I do the same "put it down now, put it back later" method....
However...hooray! I found the pan. Exactly where I'd looked any number of times....
Yes I do that with sunglasses/shades when I'm out. It works until I stoop down for something and then they clatter to the ground! (Ah, have just read that Mad Cook has that experience too, i.e. in the post directly above mine - typed around the same time as my post).
Some hook the stem ends on to a looped chain around their neck so they can dangle like a necklace when not needed.
Was talking to my son, he said when they got back from their vacation they went to pick up their dog at the place were they were boarding him for the week and they thought he would be happy to see them. Well, to their surprise he wouldn't even look at them. Even in the car on the way home he would not interact with them. He was so mad at them, poor little guy. My son said that he is finally forgiving them and starting to play with his toys.
I love munching red peppers mindlessly...I add them into everything except my Cheerios and Oatmeal.
