I found my camera this afternoon. It had fallen off the left side of the computer desk into the gap between the printer table and the floor, and wasn’t readily “discoverable” unless you took a flashlight and peered down there. I happened to do that (for another purpose) and discovered, to my delight, that the camera was on the floor!
Hooray! Now I can (maybe) persuade HWMBO that we need a large LCD monitor for me, so that he can get the monitor that I have, so that the Sun Sparcstation 5 can get the (slightly defective) monitor that he has, so that I can put the Sparcstation upstairs and move the iMac. So complicated. Had we been required to buy a new camera, that money would have evaporated.
I dont see how you found that honestly.
I mean when I lose stuff I instantly accuse my woman of stealing it. Then the dogs then I say a ninja entered the house, drank my kool aid and THEN stole whatever is missing. When I give up looking for it and usually buy another one or start the process of buying one, then it shows up. At that point I hate it and want the new one I have been researching and I stew for months until I get the new one.
No way in the world I would have had a flash light looking for stuff lol.
Good detective work. I just imagined you as Nero Wolfe for some strange reason, you know, with a flash light and usb cables…
Well, it’s strange.
We had houseguests last week over for dinner, and HWMBO is a neatness freak only when guests are coming over. Otherwise he’s a complete packrat and I expect that after I’m gone the house will look like the Collyer Brothers Mansion on 5th Avenue: full of newspapers from floor to ceiling, a Model-T in one room, and HWMBO dead on the floor having been smothered by a newspaper avalanche.
So I thought he had tidied it away. However, in the back of my mind I was thinking “I wonder what that thump on the floor was that I heard when my back was turned a few weeks ago?” but I didn’t follow it up. However, I had to check a connection next to the computer and I needed to do that with a flashlight. So I looked on the floor next to the computer desk and in back of the printer table and there it was.
But at first I was convinced that he’d put it somewhere and had forgotten where.
I resemble Nero Wolfe only in bulk. I do not wear yellow shirts, drink beer any more (too many carbs) and I have a brown thumb so that I rarely have anything to do with plants that doesn’t involve cuisine.
