Lost my phone somewhere in my car, and couldn't find it. So, when I got home, I used my home phone to locate it -- it was wedged between the seat and center console down deep. I had a hard time getting it out, finally pushed it through the bottom and it fell on the floor under the driver's seat.

Mom couldn't find hers, so I called her number. Where was the phone? Right next to her, on the coffee table.

Everybody in our household has managed to "lose" a cell phone at one time or another. Calling the lost phone's number works great as a way to find them unless you have it set on vibrate. Then you gotta stand and listen for the "BZTTTTT" sound.

Mr. k occasionally loses his cell in the house, so I have to call his as well.

The son - his phone is never missing. I think it's been surgically attached to his hand.
