Lost....I can relate to that. I dropped the last spare plunger I had some time ago and had to replenish my supply. I looked for the little bugger for days. The other day my wife had me move her sewing-machine to the other side of the room and I almost tripped over the little rascal. It had hidden under her machine presser-foot. It was not much larger than a grain of sand when I was looking for it, but appeared as a bowling-ball when I no longer needed it.
