   I try to do it humorously. How to remember which is which? Good   
   question; I suppose think of loose as related to the adjective - a loose   
   thread, catch, etc. is something that might release or come undone;   
   therefore the verb loose (as in "loose the dogs on him!") is also to do   
   with releasing something, whereas lose meaning misplace isn't. Hope that   
   helps!
