So many pairs of scissors  missing. . .  

My scissors are in the drawer to the left of the knives, forks, and spoons drawer. It's my cross body bag that I can never find when I have to leave the apartment. It contains my wallet, driver's licence, comb and brush, lipstick, card for AARP, Medicare, MoMA, credit cards, subway/bus card, and other cards, cash for tips, $100 bill for emergencies, blank 3x5 cards for notes and directions, pens (one ballpoint, one black ink.) Always 8 1/2 X 11 folded pages to read and cough drops.. My husband has written a song for these times called, "I Can't Find It," and sings it often.

My rule is everything has a place. My wife of course is not quite on board, so scissors and any other tool goes missing 

I'm stringent about putting things away where they should be. The struggle for me is NOT doing the same for my wife's things. :D

On a related note: Last night, I went looking in our kitchen pantry for one thing, only to find that one thing was long ago expired. That led me to a purge, throwing away what was likely 100 pounds of LONG ago expired cans, bottles, bags, etc. (the winner was a bottle of soy sauce that had expired in 2017!!!). The reason this is related is that so many of these things had much more recent versions where we had bought more because we didn't know we already had it. Staying organized is a cost savings plan. :D
