As in “That’s a good suggestion; I’ll keep in in mine”
Saw it here originally:
http://www.luxist.com/2010/08/04/dean-g … ally-sold/ where one commenter used it twice:
”...clue him in as to what we had in mine…to get a take on his thoughts of a nation wide TV show at his house. I have other homes in mine but this estate was my first choice….”
But also see it at these –

Thank you for your advices… I’ll keep it in mine…
A couple of other posting are probably due to non-native English skills:
1. “But I keep it in mine if I come a cross something, I will e-mail it to you. ”
2. Anuar Obregón May 11, 2010 04:19:52 GMT Great! I’ll keep it in mine.
Not sure if this is a real slip – This could just be a combination of having E and D close together on the keyboard, and thus typos, or non-native speakers transcribing literally what they think they hear.

Mind>><<mine are a fecund pairing, and a number of variations have been submitted to the forum over the years. Mind>>mine is in the Database here: http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/english/155/mined/

Thanks – I guess I was searching just for “in mind” and “keeping in mind”.
I guess this now links the variations, and pretty much closes out this post!

A related spooneristic reshaping (which might be an eggcorn in some contexts if it’s standard for anybody) is “this is a goal mind for themâ€.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
