The Guinness Record for Lost Reading Glasses
On average, I spend an indecent amount of time  everyday searching for my reading glasses.  I could string them around my neck with a chain or strap, but my mother use to do that and I'm still not ready to surrender to that technique.  Instead, I'll holler across the house to DW, "have you seen my reading glasses?"  And DW says "Again!  Get a strap!"

I have a extra reading glasses in the LD, in the car, with my tools, next to the bedstand.  But my favorite reading glasses just regularly disappear.  For what's worth, they've survive a good many trips to the washing machine.  (DW has tried to educate me about checking the pockets before I start a load of laundry.  I know ... I know!) 

So one of this morning's projects is to find my favorite reading glasses for the millionth time!  The Golden Years and the Rust Years are all the same IMO!  And so it goes.

You can do what my wife does, flooding the house with cheap Costco readers, bought in the bulk pack.
Or how about a high tech locator chip, that uses your smart phone to find tagged items
Chipolo – Find the things you really care about - Nothing is lost
But then, you would first need to find your phone.

How about a strap around your neck, that's how I carry my sunglasses?
Occasionally , not often,  your wife may be right...but don't let her know.

Ed, my wife is very young and super smart. Yet she loses her glasses every time she takes them off. Every day. Several rimes each day. This has been going on for more than twenty years. Clearly you share a great capacity for analytical thinking, incisive observation, limitless capacity for being right, and possibly classic beauty. I suggested bright orange glasses, but this was a bad idea. Good luck.

The website says you can shake your Chipolo (!) to find your phone. Of course, this in turn means you have to find your Chipolo... :)

An Apple Watch will make your phone beep so you can find it. If you install the watch on your wrist, it is very easy to locate. But Apple Watches need charging each day, and thus, could go missing when not attached to you. If you misplace the outlet where you are charging it, well...

  I have a pair of these in my pocket all of the time so when I can not find my cheep Costco or what ever readers I always have these.  I get them in a higher power so they work for finding small things I drop all of the time.

May I suggest this new fashion statement in eye glass ware .....

Think about it.  As a side benefit  you'll be protecting your head as you work under your LD.

Yes...yes...yes on all comments above!  :D

My little red-headed mama once tried top fix my similar problem with losing my keys by gifting me with a nifty key ring that would beep when you whistled--only problem was, I can't whistle.   :-[   She & her dad & my dad could whistle tunes (Daddy was big on The Streets of Laredo; my aunt & cheerleader cousins could whistle (with fingers or without)--all tried to teach me, to no avail.  Bogie was obviously a much better student when Lauren Bacall told him to "just put your lips together & blow."  ...all I get is hot air.   :(
