2 Questions-Gira's Most Pressing Issues Updated

[giramomma]

1. Where did I put DH's gift certificate? I've checked my usual hiding spots and I have no clue.

2. If ShadowFax was the name of Gandolf's car, what kind of car would it be?

[Opti]

ShadowFax sounds like the name of a piece of badly functioning office

equipment not a car.

ShadowFax, we use 50% less ink per page and it shows!

Could one of your older kids have seen you hide DH's gift certificates?

1. check in the pile of recycling you put out yesterday.

2. Who needs a car when you have a giant eagle at your beck and call?

[t-dog]

Wouldn't Gandalf drive a Spider - no, likely not I don't believe he was involved in the spider incident. Must be that he would drive an Eagle because I believe he did in fact call the giant Eagles.

I asked. And no. I also asked DH if he saw it when he was cleaning off my hiding/storing spots. I sound like a human squirrel.

[billisonboard]

he told me not to say anything until you get him another one

[Deleted]

Are you sure you hid it? Could it still be in your bag / wallet? 

(I have no more suggestions lol.)

Good luck Gira! I'm betting you'll find it. Sometimes these things come to you at the strangest times, like a flash out of nowhere, and then you'll know exactly where it is.

...

These days, if it were me, I would be questioning whether I had even bought it in the first place.

[Deleted]

LOL Billison! I'm the same way these days. That actually happened to me today ... I had a dental appt this morning, and I was thinking, you need to remember to bring that gift certicate! (My dentist is a friend of a friend who has been doing a lot of work, at reduced rates.) Just put it in your bag so you don't forget it!

Then I suddenly remembered that although I've been thinking about that GC for weeks, I haven't actually purchased it yet. LOL. (Luckily I see him again next week, and this time I WON'T forget to buy it.)

Wouldn't ShadowFax be kind of like a personal transporter?  You can disassemble a copy of yourself, send yourself to any URL in the world, then reassemble a copy of yourself?  Let's you be in two places at the same time?

I think everyone is losing their mind this time of year!  I know I am!

[cronewitch]

Check coat pockets and under the seat of the car. Did they put the card in an envelope or little box or will it just feel like a credit card. If not boxed check your credit cards.

[giramomma]

As for #2. I saw a Jetta today with vanity plates that said ShadowFax.

I just don't see it. DH thought Gandolf should drive a VW bus, complete with Grateful Dead stickers.

I'm declaring myself done  and for the rest of the evening.

DD2 was kind enough to empty the contents of her stomach into my hands. Such a good sharer she is.

[dannylion]

The gift certificate is under something else (like a magazine or a box) or stuck to something you filed away.

I see Gandalf driving an Escalade or possibly a Tesla.  

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

Did you put it in inside/outside pockets of your purse you don't normally use?

I did that with a gift card because I wanted to "keep it safe". Then I spent 2 hours looking for it in a panic because I didn't remember where I put it.

DH says that the answer to number two is a Ferrari. It would fast, sleek, and beautiful. 

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

DH is pretty sure none of you are actual readers of the books. 

[ArchietheDragon]

Kitt.

[Deleted]

You pinned it up on message board or fridge. I think fridge.  You come home and kids need food fast, so you put down in closest safe spot.
Not good geeks here. Shadowfax is horse, so car has to be Mustang or Bronco. I pick Mustang.

[NoNamePerson]

Did you buy him a Christmas Card also? Maybe you put it in the card. That's where I put mine for someone the minute I came home with it so it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle. Then I sealed the card so no prying eyes   

[Lizard Queen]

Gandalf was old but badass.  I say he'd roll in a Rolls, though I do like the Tesla idea.

He would be wrong. However I read them probably twenty years ago and I have

never been the type of person to remember details like the name of Gandalf's horse.

Is your DH someone who likes Trivia?

I've read them 30 years ago, but I did see the movies.  I still didn't remember.  Im the  queen of useless information, but I have only have so much room for in my brain.

[giramomma]

I know this thread is a year old...But, I am pleased to report that I found that damned Gift card this morning!!

I have started cleaning out my "catch all" spot in preparation for DD1's birthday party. And now, based on the bag, I know exactly where I put my certificate last year

[Happy prose]

Check your underwear drawer and jewelry box. That's where my stuff goes.
