Where do all the earring backs go? Is it like an elephant's graveyard?



Twice today I've lost the back of one earring and I can't find EITHER

of them! I've looked all over the floor, checked to see if they're stuck

in my hair or a fold of clothing or a shoe... and nothing. Yes, I know I

can go buy more and they aren't that expensive but it's sooooo

frustrating! :-5



Whew!:yh_sweat Thanks for letting me get that off my chest, gang!



:yh_silly

Soooo Sorry val Can't help you here. I have no piercings.

But my ed-jumacated guess would be, with the effects of gravity they might just fall to the ground? LOL

Check the vacuum cleaner, probably that nasty little noise last time you cleaned in that area were the poor earring backs-that is what always happens to me!

No she just loves earrings....... took a one carat diamond earring off a salesman one day and swallowed it. He wanted me to dig through her you-know-what to find his earring. I told him to be my guest.

Now BTS you know how much my dog loves to lick. This ahole really wanted to sell me so he got down on his knees to pet the dog - she started licking his face and BOOM the earring was gone.

Val and Ladycop -In an emergency situation only: Use the eraser off the end of a pencil, if you wear you hair semi-down no one will notice if its up split the little eraser in 1/2. It wont matter for ladycop because the end is on the inside of her uniform.



-Just an idea
