    I lost a baby one as well! You'd think one of those would be difficult to misplace.

    This is so funny but at the same time it's amazing what we have theoretically carried around on our bodies. Amazing job by everyone. Keep up the good work.

    One of my Doctor's weighs 115, She said I lost almost her!!! She then jumped on my back, (with my permission) and said see this is what you carried around all the time.

    Yep. I lost my Dr. (almost)
