I found my stylus!

Or, it found me.

It fell off the bed the other night. I heard it hit the floor, but I couldn't find it anwhere in the vicinity. (It's dark gray, almost black, and our ratty old carpet is dark green. Plus, I have very poor vision. But, I even felt for the bloody thing.)

A few minutes ago, I was putting on my shoes, and there it was, touching my right foot. Guess I didn't look there.

(I've had it only a couple of months, but it prevents about 75 percent of the typos made by my fat fingertip.)

Perhaps you could purchase a pack of them on your next shopping trip. I keep a pack of three in my desk drawer for my IPad.

My partner got two from Amazon. She mentioned they come in five-and 10-packs, and I thought she said she got one o' those.

I'd like to get a five-pack of 'em in bright colors. Helluva lot cheaper abd far less hassle than replacing the carpet.

I had knee replacement surgery last Fall and wasn’t very mobile in the beginning. One day, the pencil went flying off the tablet but I could NOT find it anywhere. Couldn’t get on my hands and knees but did search the best I could.

Friends came at Christmas and I asked them to see if they could find it. They searched all over and finally put up the foot rests of my sofa and, with the help of a flashlight, found it stuck to one of metal frame posts. It must have hit the wall and bounced under it. /
