The joy of finding something you've been looking for

What can I say?

...I finally married her two years ago after years of pain and suffering.

*reads thread's title*
*blushes*

errr... she's a "someone" not a "something"

Just so you know...

I´m still alive, I found the ring (one ring to bind ME)

LOL

Where was it? I am going to guess at your pocket

Leonardo · Post by **Leonardo** » Fri Mar 22, 2002 7:30 am

No, it wasn´t in my pocket.
I usually take it out before showering because the soap make it slip away from my finger, so I put it over the <insert english word for the shelf inside the bathroom where you keep shampoo and other hygiene products>. I was afraid it had fallen and gone through the drain. I didn´t realize (because I was sleepy) on that morning that I never had the chance to put the ring on the shelf, because it wasn´t on my finger at all when I woke up.
On the night before I must have uncounsciously taken it out while I was at the computer, because I found it yesterday night under the keyboard. I was typing a very long document and probably took it without thinking.

That would be a shelf

What a strange situation, i take it you didn't mention any of this to your intended

Mr. Sleep:

Do you think I´m THAT stupid?

Shelves in Portuguese are called "prateleiras"
The ones in the bathroom we call "saboneteiras" because it´s where you put the soap (sabonete)

Just checking, glad to see you have full control of your manly lying skills

Oh well i am a bit too working class to know what one of those is called

Where's the soap? Sure does.

A slight twist on the joy of finding something you've been looking for. Lets call it the embarassment of NOT finding something you didn't know you were looking for.

When I got up this morning I didn't think I was going to have one of those 'moments' which will haunt one for the rest of ones life, how wrong was I.

I saw an ad requesting a working push mower. I've got one of those which I don't use thought I, so I ring the nice lady and say have you got one yet. Yes someone is bringing one in today. Oh O.K. say I. Wait says the nice lady how much do I want for it? Want for it? Hell nothing. I'll take it says the nice lady. Good I'll bring it on Monday say I. No I want it now says the nice lady. Not a problem we will meet and drive to my house to pick it up. Sorted. We drive to my house I look for push mower in shed. It is not there! Cunning international push mower theives? No. Muggins has taken it to the dump in the last shed clean up and has forgotten

Ah. Nice lady, about that OTHER mower..... - Curdis !

I wouldn´t call it lying, just an omission of information

@Curdis: Once I spent a whole afternoon looking for a magazine on my apartment until I suddenly realized I had not bought it yet! What a shame

Finding that CD was of great interest to me. I'm just out of high school and not into Uni yet, and so far I haven't been able to find work so I have a lot of spare time on my hands.

Congrats to Leonardo on finding his ring.

BTW, a good reason for posting nonsense spam is posting while stoned. Like I am now, for instance.

I'm not certain, but I think this is a case where English is not as articulate.

I lost the necklace I bought the other day at Disneyland. I thought I had left it in the motel room in LA. Luckily, what had happened was that, on our last night in the motel, I took off my shirt without first taking off the necklace. Thus, the necklace came off with the shirt and was wrapped up in the shirt. Today, when my mum went to wash the clothes, she found my necklace in my shirt.

finding an 10-pack of beer stashed in the bathroom cupboard

(There was an offer on at the local shop, and after working your way through 4 packs with some mates you kinda lose track of where you put it all

)
