Springs & chains....


I've decided in order to save stress and money, I will have to come up with a series of security measures to incorporate into things that are used and misplaced daily.


I want to connect a chain to the girls hairbrush - there's a little hole in the bottom of hairbrushes...ever wonder why? NOPE, it's not so you can hang it on a hook...it's so that you can put a chain around it and anchor it to the wall in the vanity.
This would have to be attached to only two places in the house - one in my bathroom and one in the girls...my brush will never go missing again because they girls won't have misplaced theirs and come and taken mine! GENIUS, I know.

I also need to get one of those retractable springy type chains this will enable the remote control, portable phones and PENS to NEVER be lost - remember the olden days before things became wireless? (okay NOT pens, but phones used to actually be STUCK to the wall and kids couldn't wander off with them - and remote controls, too - stuck right to the tv and connected by a long cord - NEVER LOST)

Also - I want to be able to add some kind of magnetic device to clean clothes - shirts will have a special code that applies to the drawer they belong to, socks & underwear, shorts - things of that nature, so when I fold them, they actually have to be WORN before they're tossed back into the dirty clothes hamper.

Sure, it seems like a lot of work gluing everything down - and affixing electronic devices or other metallic interferences to items - but in the long run, it helps preserve sanity - there will be no more need for things such as prozac, or zoloft - because things won't misplace themselves...can't have anxiety or stress or depression if your house cleans itself, am I right?

I'm with you on the hairbrushes. We cannot keep enough of them in our house! They disappear faster than anything around here.

Everything should come with beepers... like you push a button on the wall and say "locate hairbrush" and then it starts beeping. Someday.... it will be the greatest invention EVER!
