Laughing at myself or the adventure of getting old!

[Scrappile]

Yesterday I was working on a picture.  I often cut the picture with a straight blade, the I will go back with a spiral blade to increase the kerf of some of the thin lines in the pattern.  I stopped scrolling and decided to mark each line I wanted to increase later so I would not miss any when I did the touchup.  I grabbed a nice little marker I found in my desk drawer to mark each, and proceeded to make my marks.  Satisfied I had marked all.  I then decided to take a break and get some work done that I had to do. Came back to the picture a couple hours later and, what the heck, my marks were not there!!   Being I am old and somewhat muddled at times, I thought I had just thought I had done the marks but really hadn't.  So I grabbed the little marker again, this time I looked at it close and this it what I saw!

Hmmm,

Did you buy that?

If so does uv light show you the lines? Maybe apply vinegar or something to show the lines.

What do you usually use that on?

or is someone messing with you.

 I usually use a color pencil and  put a check mark by a line I want to is a spiral on.  When I figured the problem out I went a found a colored pencil. I never have used the disappearing ink pen before, didn't even know it was in the drawer.  Just ran across it rummaging through the drawer.  Told my wife about it she said she had wondered where it went,  something she uses in quilting sometimes.  No one has to mess with me, I do it enough on my own!

Why would you even have that?

My wife says it is hers.

Sorry to hear about the confusion but, it sounds like something I can relate to.
God Bless! Spirithorse

If he told us, he'd have to kill us.
