does something like this exist?

[mutslaster]

ok. so my mother is perpetually misplacing her purse. every time we try to leave the house it's like an extra five minutes looking for the purse.

is there any kind of paging device that i can buy her so that we can always find the purse (kinda like the paging device on cordless phones)? would it be hard to go to active surplus and like, make one?

I think they have them for car keys?? I could be mistaken though.
You could always buy her a hook to hang it on, then it will be there when she needs it!

my buddy had a thing that u whistled for and it beeped.

It would be perfect.

thanks craig.

except i need there to be two parts-- that one is only one piece and the child can activate it by pushing the button.
i need a remote one so that pushing a button on one activates the other.

 

[mutslaster]

hey how'd you do that?

edit: fuck never mind

so yeah... a hook would be logical, but she has one, it doesn't work.

How do you know she won't misplace the part not attached to the purse?

ya - sorry. wrong thing. i was thinking more of a locater alarm - that one just goes off by pulling the string.

like this one:

but they look expensive. there must be a cheaper option.

try a hook or shelf.

or maybe radio shack - you've got questions, we got blank stares

well ideally it would remain in a stationary location, like by the phone pager.

fuck it i am already abandoning this idea.

Buy your mother a batch of infant petuitary glands. They're juicy and prevent the onset of alzheimers.
