The best way to find every AA battery in your home is to need a pair of AAAs.
@Tierno158 Oh, LOL you are so right!!
@Tierno158 @WarYarnSpinner I was briefly trying to figure out how I could have lost track of an anti-aircraft battery in my home.
@msmith1047 Mike, it happens ๐Ÿ˜† Especially given the state of my house at the moment #eek @Tierno158
@Tierno158 I still have some N cell devices. Somehow AAA overtook that.
@Tierno158
Alkaline - top drawer, tall chest in wine room. Rechargeable - left end bottom shelf over my art table.
@Oldfartrant @Tierno158 I don't have a wine room or an art table so that doesn't help me at all
@the_arto @Tierno158 just saying if you designate a place for things and always put them there you'll always know where they are.
@Oldfartrant @the_arto @Tierno158 sure, but try that with your kids, nooooo.
@gzuckier @the_arto @Tierno158
If I had kids they wouldn't fit in a drawer. I've heard of Elf On A Shelf but not kids.
@Tierno158 I keep them in the same plastic bin for this reason lol
@Tierno158 Ha ha ha. that's a good one!
@Tierno158 This is the truth! No matter what size battery I need it's the one size I don't have.
@Tierno158 I can confirm that it works.
@Tierno158
Been there, done that myself!
๐Ÿ˜‹
@Tierno158 the reverse is obviously true...
@Tierno158 see also: finding non rechargeable batteries when seeking the rechargeables you bought last year.
@Tierno158 accurate more than I care to admit

@Tierno158

Theorem proven this very morning.

@Tierno158 truer words have not been spoken.
@Tierno158 truest thing Iโ€™ve read today
@Tierno158 sadly so true- happened just last week
@Tierno158 and the opposite is also true!
@Tierno158 oh so true๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚
@Tierno158 Were you at our home yesterday? ๐Ÿ˜‚
@Tierno158 ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚yes si true

@Tierno158 similarly with Lego the best way to find the part you're looking for is to search for something else.

Trick is you've really got to believe you're looking for the other piece. Otherwise the universe realises is being duped and you can't find anything

@Tierno158 buy enough of these and a surplus of rechargeable AAAs and you'll never be without the right battery ;) https://a.co/d/1S0R0EU
@Tierno158 I found every AA, AAA, cr2023, and those tiny smoke alarm batteries that I had when I went looking for a 9v today! (wall remote for garage opener was out)
@Tierno158 No, no, it's the other way around. ๐Ÿ˜‚
@Tierno158 Iโ€™m sure I got load of old batteries that are ineffective
@Tierno158
"At this time of year there some poor souls who cannot find AAA batteries in their home and are being forced to manually operate their television sets, if their set even allows that. So when you are watching the Premier of the the Blockbuster Movie after Christmas day lunch pause and think about those whose remote control won't operate and the local shop is shut or doesn't stock those types of batteries. Its a situation, with a piece of bad luck, any one of us could find ourselves"
@raymierussell Thank you for helping me see the bigger picture. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ˜
@Tierno158 usually the other way for me
@Tierno158
Is there a decoy for when you need A size batteries?
I have many buckets of rocking-horse poop to offer๐Ÿ˜€
@Tierno158 You know there is scientific evidence for always finding things on the very last place where you are searching? I can tell you, in case you are interested in.
