    And nothing worse than not being able to find the thing that you stashed away years ago for exactly this situation!

      I have packages of cable ties everywhere, in every size and color. I stumble across a pack of them weekly. Yet, when I actually need one, I can never find a pack, and end up buying an entire new pack from Dollar Tree.

      The other day, I needed one, and after I was angry and frustrated over not finding any, when I know there are THOUSANDS in this house somewhere, I decided to drive to Dollar Tree and buy ANOTHER pack, so I could use one, and lose the rest, again. I was about to pull out of the garage, and looked at a shelf, and there was a pack of cable ties sitting right there! Dollar Tree trip averted.

      I put those with my tool box, but I know there are a lot more around this house somewhere.
