THE 18-INCH RULE

Blogdaughter Teresa had an issue with misplacing a SD memory card. I don't know if this advice applies in this case, since she found it under some paper, but the 18-inch rule is still a handy tool, so I thought I'd share this (NOTE - I didn't invent this, it's just something I stumbled across while wandering the mysterious backwaters of the internet many years ago).

Since your arms are about 18 inches long, a misplaced item will usually be within 18 inches of where you are when you notice it's missing.

Unless you're the type of person who will get up and walk around your house, hiding things from yourself.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm not here to judge your choice of lifestyle.
