I’ve already checked yesterday’s pockets and my backpack.
Where did you last find your cellphone when it went missing?
(I already called it from my land line. The voice messaging picked up, but I didn’t hear it ring.)

Mine is always in my purse, where it belongs. However, when my husband’s goes missing, he’s always left it in the car. Maybe that’s where yours is, too.

Damn, and I was going to guess in **cher3** ’s husband’s car, too.

It’s not recharging? Then check **cher** ’s husbands car.

**jali** that’s shameful! 😛
Have you looked in the bathroom? I know you’ve called somebody from the bathroom before. Everybody does it whether they want to admit it or not.

If I can’t find it, mine’s usually in my car or somewhere in the kitchen among the day’s mail and other clutter, rather than it’s usual place - on my dresser inside my purse.

If, by any chance, you were hiking in Catoctin Mountian Park in Thurmont, MD on Saturday, somebody in my son’s scout troop probably has it.

When mine goes missing, I always look for it in the car. Inevitably, it will either be in between the seats or in the compartment on the door.

It’s wedged between the drivers seat and the middle console in the car.
Cher3’s husband’s car.

I guess that must be where mine is. I lost it 2 years ago and it still hasn’t turned up. If he doesn’t want to return it, ok, fine, but at least pick it up when I call it!

Cher3 wins the prize.
Front seat of the car.
I coulda sworn I made a call on it yesterday, too, when I didn’t drive the car.

Ha! I hope the prize is enough to buy a new wristwatch. 'Cause I have no idea what became of mine.

It’s in the backseat of the cab you took to the airport.
