The Stylus.

My stubby twisted fingers

Don't like my mobile phone

They never do as they are told

And think they're free to roam

And so I bought these stylus

To poke the keys I need

Which makes it that the keys I want

Are almost guaranteed

Now I have numerous stylus

Which I like spread around

So how can it so often be

That not one can be found?

I'll tell you now what happens

And why one can't be found

They all agree to meet together

Their owner to confound!!

You and a good few more of us I have no doubt

Great Don - top o the morning to you :)

You will have to have a word with those stylus

not playing by the rules

Social distancing is required

maximum of twos.

Happy day to you - I have the same prob with those stylus ;)

It's like ventolin inhalers. You can scatter them about the house and they will all end up in one place...the last place you look, of course.

Amazon, 5 for Β£5 or 9 for Β£7.32, they will still end up in the same place no matter how widely you spread them. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Love it and yes i agree they do get together to confound.

But when I do find them why will only one of them work -- and its always the last one!

I have a brand new chomebook which has a little space

To insert the stylus in it and save the human race

From hunting for your widget which has a mind of it's own

Now mine nestles in its litte hole,never more to roam

But being a two fingered typist i prefer the old fashioned way

So that crafty little sylus can just sleep in there all day. :)

And I hope you can still do that 25 years hence. πŸ™‚

Very kind of you kind sir,i think reaching the three score and ten would be an achievment for me,recently we are not a family famed for longevity.my grandparents however came from better stock and both passed away in their nineties not a millions miles away from you in Birkdale. :)

β€’ in reply toskischool

You seem very keen to point out to me that you know where I live. Is this some sort of threat? Should I alert my security guard?

You are in a strange mood lately Master Po,i was just respecting the nice part of the Lancashire that you live in,a place where i enjoyed many childhood holidays,albeit in the converted shed of my grandparents garage,resplendent with creepie crawlies of a monstrous size. :)

I have been attending webinars from the company that designed my DAW (digital audio workstation) for the much needed short cuts, et. al. Save was command S but I kept hitting command Z when blurry eyed which is undo last edit. I learned how to reassign so now Save is simply S. I do enjoy your poems, Don. Inspiringly uplifting!

This looks familiar Don, is it a new one. I can relate to it though. XX

Nice one Don. I can't get on with a stylus anyway. But you are right, when you want one you just cant find one. Nice to hear from you.

Don you've described my problem exactly. My right hand is next to useless. Today I was so looking forward to my dinner. Lamb shank vegetables roast spuds and I made a Yorkshire pudding. As I was putting it out first off a potato dropped on the floor. Oh well no big problem but then half my yorky slid down the side of the cooker! πŸ˜• followed by some colourful language ha ha

Oh yes. True of so many things. Scissors? I know I have loads but somehow they spirit themselves away just when I need them.

Love to you both

My problem is pens. In particular my favourite one that I use to record my blood pressure, FEV1 , weight etc. twice a day. I swear to goodness it takes off at will. I get so mad looking for it. yesterday it wound up in my pocket and I have no idea how. xx 😱

I.am the same. Put it down to Lepus fog.please can I ask you a question.

2 weeks ago, couldn’t keep any food or fluids down,n vomiting,n diarrohea.

After 4 days ,getting worse,the GP Snt me to ANE in emergency ambulance.

They were concerned about1 my steroid levels

2 immunsupreasnts; my beng taken for 4 days.

Gave me fluids,mrhine IV STEROIDS.

Sent me home next day to recover

I had a phone appointment with my rheumatologist on Wednesday.

She advised putting steroids up from 12mg duo to 15 mg.she will ring n 1 weeks to check how I am.

Possibility of face to face appointment with her and ILD Cnsultant if no better? CT SCAN,as they can’t yet work out a safe way to do spirometry.

Since then,don’t fel any better,spend more time lying down than anything else.

Not hungry or thirsty,but keeping stuff down by using anti emetics.

Increasingly. Short of breath.

Sorry for lengthy post,trying to be brief!what I need t ash you is- through your joutrney,have you had anything like this and if so,how did you get over it?

Am waiting for a call from GP,at 9am will rheumatology Nurse practiiiner.

Thanks for reading this

Cas isn't going to see it tucked away down here, you need to address her direct for her to see it. Sorry I can't help you myself. Take care.

Although I try to have a place for everything I don’t always put things back. Sometimes I think the Gremlins have moved in. I’ve never used a stylus so maybe I just won’t bother if it’s another thing to go missing.

Take care Don

I spend a great deal of my life looking for misplaced stuff. Sometimes it catches me off guard and turns up to be exactly where it should be.

Did you hear or read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, there was a planet where all the lost Biros went to live, I think it was biros and not socks.
