    Not that there are really any young people here to warn, but this is your drug fueled teens and 20's when you get to your 40's.

    Hell, go ahead and do it kids, it's probably worth it.

    P.S. and unrelated, ER4XR with spin-fit twin blade is much more balanced and comfortable than triple flange or foam tips, for me at least.

    Seems AirTag keychain is a good birthday gift for those in 40s

    Don’t listen to your uncle @bobboxbody kids. Drugs are a slippery slope and will leave you pennilessly stuck in lower mid-fi purgatory. Also what good is plankton when you’re OD?

    I lost my wallet for a few days once without leaving the house. I found it under my computer chair. Not sure if that helps!

    I have turned my entire house upside down, including dumping all of the trash onto a tarp in the backyard and sorting through it. At this point I'm assuming supernatural elements were involved.

    Gosh damn you can't say you didn't try! That is the most frustrating feeling. Not even the cost and time at that point...but never knowing what the hell happened.

    The worst thing is that, one day, they'll turn up. Either in some damn-obvious place or in some WTF place, but they will.

    Mine had shown up at: trouser pockets; washer, and dryer; still stuck to the lock tumbler; on a hook (somebody found them and put them there); work backpack; jackets; etc.

    Hope these suggestions help

    $140 is really good these days for a car key. In 2010, dodge wanted $300 to program a new key for 2005 a neon that stopped working, so Infiniti surprised me when they charged $100 to cut and reprogram two new keys for me after my keys were stolen.

    I also frequently check the fridge when I've misplaced something, because sometimes I'm absentmindedly holding something in hand when I go to get a drink or whatever and leave it behind.

    Car key battery ran flat, knew exactly where the spare was - only to find the spare's battery was also flat. Next car will be an antique so if I lose the keys I can use a coat-hanger or smash the window and hotwire it.

    I'm sure we've all put milk in the cubbard and cereal in the fridge at least once before.

    The reason I went all out with the trash is because I threw my wallet in a trash can at a beach about 10-15 years ago and then 1-2 years later the contents showed up in my mailbox in a ziplock bag

    Did someone mention fridge?

    @bobboxbody, *check the fridge*. Look under the mouldy carrot. And defrost the freezer. Found a precious knife hidden in the ice one day. Had spent months wondering what happened to it..

    Also interrogate local crows, magpies, etc.

    @Thad E Ginathom fridge has been checked and flocks of migratory birds are under analysis for oracular flight patterns. We lose power enough here that the freezer gets defrosted at least a few times a year. At this point though I'm satisfied that I have a car key, I'm no longer actively searching, they'll likely show up in the stupidest possible place sometime this decade.
