more lost and found

After reading yesterday's post about my search for my glsses, a reader suggested that it would also be helpful to have a locator beeper on coffee cups.  I agree, they are easy to set down in strange places.  Other things that seem to go astray are TV remotes, ball point pens (usually between couch cushions) and small pieces of chocolate.  Oh, wait, skip that last one.  I just ate the last piece.  TV remotes are especially tricky.  I spent a frustrating five minutes the other evening with a remote in my hand, wondering why my TV wouldn't turn on.  I may be somewhat technologically challenged but I do know how to turn on a TV, so when I got no sign of life out of the set, I was ready to go searching for new batteries (also an item that likes to hide) only to discover, on closer inspection, that I was holding the remote for a different TV.  I will say, just a little bragging here, that I did, in the process of downsizing some years ago, manage to get rid of all the remotes in my house that didn't belong to anything I still owned.  However, with three TVs, a ROKU stick and a DVD player I still have quite a nice collection of remote controls.  Someone suggested once that I should get a universal remote but I don't think I'm ready for that much responsibility.
