moped replied: under the couch

I am just throwing places out there - UGH how annoying

luvmykids replied: Sometimes DH will wander aimlessly and set the remote down somewhere he was...like on his dresser, or in the garage Good luck, I hope you find it

PrairieMom replied:
ya'd think. he's the one that lost it. he is blaming it on Al, but I have looked in her usual haunts. I think he had it in his hand, went to throw away a diaper and threw that away too.

Its also not in the fridge.
I haven't checked the laundry yet tho.

lovemy2 replied:
Did you ask him how he survived since it got lost?

moped replied: Have you taken the garbage away or can you go through it?

PrairieMom replied:
I just keep walking past it like

I'm not that desperate yet.
Apparently it has been missing since Saturday evening. We rigged the remote from our bedroom to kinda work (won't do volume or change to DVD and that kind of stuff) But its driving me nuts because it has to be somewhere.

PrairieMom replied: its not in
any of al's dresser drawers,
diaper basket
office drawers
laundry room
behind the TV
in the tub
in Ben's step stool


I better check the garbage.

PrairieMom replied: or the junk drawer.

lisar replied: Oh yes the remote lost. I hate that. Raygen always hides in the fridge or the trash can. Lexi hides it also normally in the couch. Did you check on top of the TV? Mine is normally the last place I expect it to be. I have wandered for it for ever and it be right in front of me the whole time sitting on top of the tv or the entertainment center.

moped replied: By chance is it in the car?

PrairieMom replied:
twice thinking that it had to be there, or slid behind it or something. I even looked in the box where it "goes" and no dice. I'm about to search the laundry. maybe its in the washer.

moped replied: You can get a replacement if you don't end up finding it

PrairieMom replied:
its like 30 degrees out there. I don't want to watch TV THAT bad. I'll go check.

PrairieMom replied:
yeah, then it will be right in the middle of the floor all the sudden 5 minutes after we spend the $ on a new one. I'm gonna tare this house apart.
Ugh. at least its keeping me from falling asleep. I'm on hour 20 with no sleep.

PrairieMom replied:
On the floor behind the computer desk. Duh! why didn't I think to look there first?
Good grief. At least i found it before I ended up cleaning the whole house top to bottom.

lovemy2 replied: Good job Detective

moped replied: Great
Mystery number 1 solved for the day
anybody got anything else we can think on?

lisar replied: I am glad you finally found it.

Cece00 replied: I feel your pain, this has happened to me a few times. Usually I can find it in a couple of hours though.

DH once let Natalie play with his keys and they went missing for TWO MONTHS. We eventually found them in the playroom, even though we had looked in there originally.

HuskerMom replied: Glad you found it! I have to laugh everytime we lose ours. We'll spend so long looking for it but we won't get off the couch to change the channel on the tv!

Danalana replied:
Yeah, wouldn't wanna have to go to extremes like cleaning the house!
Glad you found it

holley79 replied: Ours normally winds up in the microwave.

Kaitlin'smom replied: glad you found it.


I have a shopping mission, sure I can order it on line but the shipping is MORE than the item.......

MoonMama replied:

Glad you found it.

stella6979 replied: Ya know, we've given Avery all kinds of "play remotes" but she wants nothing to do with them. She knows which one works the t.v. and that's the one she wants. LOL!
I'm glad you found yours though! Looking for a remote is enough to drive you crazy.

Calimama replied:
I tried that with cell phones and Miabella. It didn't work either.

luvbug00 replied: wow I'm exsaused from reading that! Glad you got it back.

MotherForever2043 replied: Glad you found it 2 Decembers ago ,we went 3 days without the living room remote, and we found it in the HUGE pile of Christmas presents under the tree. On Christmas morning!

My3LilMonkeys replied: Glad you found it!!! In my house it's always ask Brooke - that child knows where everything is.
