How MANY times have I lost my batteries? Lost count.......don't worry Mary Kay, keep looking. I have torn my car apart, my living room, my closet, my purse countless times! I know right where I sat them down - ha, ha........once I turned my recliner over in search of a shorty ....that I have NEVER found..... and found a pink auto that had been missing a WHILE! I was so glad to find it! .....now where, oh where, could that little blue shorty be???? I just know it is somewhere in my house...........hope you find yours soon! ....oh yeah, and as bad as I hate bras, they DO serve me well as a "pocket" for my V4L.........you see, V4L, you really are close to us girls' hearts!
