I have a strange vortex in my house. There are 3 things that disappear into thin air. I mean VANISH. The first is no surprise to anyone. It has eluded the human race for many many years. That would be the socks dilemma. I buy them as a set. Perhaps a bag of 6, or 4 or even a single set. I get them home. Wear them. When I and my family leave the house it is a general rule to return with the same number of socks on your feet that you left with. So that’s not the problem. Somehow in the cycle of laundry one sock disappears. It has to be in the laundry cycle. Where it goes I have no idea!
The second is the food container lid. It could be Tupperware, Rubbermaid or Pyrex…it does not matter! Somehow the covers seem to disappear. Why? Where? Is must be the same vortex that the socks retreat to. I buy them as a set and yet the covers always disappear. Always the covers?
The third and last thing that disappears are things I print. I follow the on-screen prompt and hit the print button. The computer tells me my job is complete and I run to the printer expecting to collect my papers and there is nothing there. Go back and check. Yes…in fact the computer did print them. Feeling rather silly I have no idea where they went. They are not on my printer. Is there a random computer in Tibet that is spitting out my coupons? I just don’t get it!
I am stuck. How else am I going to print off my coupons to save money to buy more socks and food storage containers?
Good grief I have the same problem! I swear my family does it to help loosen those marbles a little more in my head….
Socks and underwear , one moment here next puf
I have a similar vortex in our house! With us it’s hair clips and bobbles! #twinklytuesday
Same here
Ha! I wonder if the vortex is expanding, because we also have that problem. School socks especially love to go walk about and never to return again after taking a spin in the washing machine. Thanks for bringing the giggles to the #dreamteam x
WE have the same vortex and sometimes it takes the remote control but leaves it in odd places #Blogstravaganza
Not at my place , i am allergic to disorder
I don’t want to alarm you, but we had similar issues in our last house, then discovered that it was haunted, someone had been. Ordered there years ago #b!ogstravangza@_karendennis
Yes! We have this too. Especially the tupperware! I lose lids then randomly gain ones that don’t fit the boxes without them. I have resorted to mismatched tupperware and elastic band combinations 🙂 thank you for linking up to #Blogstravaganza 🙂
LOL, I found that once my “vortex” was indeed my washer in which we took it apart and found a few socks stuck in the pump tube. Luckily we fished the nasty things out before it ruined the pump. #Blogstravaganza
Very familiar
Think we all have the same Vortex – strange how things disappear but sometimes they do return albeit not often
Sometimes when you move a piece of furniture.
OMG! This is our house things just disappear all the time Thank you for linking to #Thatfridaylinky please come back next week
Oh yes, the sock dilemma is real. Where do they even go? I have thought about throwing all the socks out and just starting again. #blogstravaganza
I have a large basket full of single socks that I seem to think will one day magically be reunited with their lost twins. They won’t #thatfridaylinky
I have started to take the random ones to school to use on my students dry erase boards. Works great. Perhaps we should all toss them in a giant bin. I am sure some of my unmatched socks will match some of yours!
Hi Tracy, so that’s what those pieces of paper were in my printer? I had no idea where they came from!… Socks are forever going missing in this house too, so much so that no one even bothers wearing proper pairs anymore. Which is always a topic for conversation when someone notices. It does do my husbands head in though “there must be some logical explanation” he cries, scratching his head. ” No hun, it’s one of the great mysteries of the world, don’t even try to fathom it!”.
Thank you for linking up with #keepingitreal.

Good thing unmatched socks are the in thing right now. Perhaps that is why I wear flip flops even in the winter! Leave it to men to try and be logical. There has to be some reason behind it. NOPE. It is just the way it is.
Feel free to use my coupons I sent to your printer! That was funny by the way!
I’m cracking up because I have this mystery, too. I cannot figure out most of the things that happen to you, me too, but also like when I drop something, where did it go? I can scourge every square inch, there is a Bermuda triangle here. The most recent was a screw that holds a cabinet pull flew off, ok, shouldn’t be hard to find, right? I haven’t found it in weeks, finally bought a replacement. I won’t vacuum, but sweep and keep looking, as I don’t want to step on it in the middle of the night and go flying. Multiply that times 100 same kind of thing. Every once in a great while I’ll find something months later, a year later! But often they have just vanished!
No , simply no . There is a place and draw for everything , at most 1 min search and i will find what i am looking for , allergic to disorder
I must admit when we moved her bed we found a few socks….
