Three!

Hello, 3 guests!

John G. · « **Reply #62 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:07:06 PM »

Have you ever locked yourself out? And how stupid did it make you feel?

John G. · « **Reply #63 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:07:19 PM »

I feel fairly stupid.

John G. · « **Reply #64 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:08:05 PM »

After a long, hair-pulling day at work, I should have known something silly was going to happen.

John G. · « **Reply #65 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:08:32 PM »

Thankfully I have tomorrow off. Biopsy and barbecue.

Books are signed and boxed.

Did the various blurbs for the three Tonight's the Night things and Some Days Are Murder - hopefully we can get those live tomorrow.

I locked myself out of the house. And somehow managed to do away with the spare key I used to have hidden.

Oh, oh.

Thankfully, friends had a spare and they came over.

One thing about living in a condo we don't have far to travel for our spare keys from neighbors. Of course it helps if they are home.

I have a bar on the sliding back doors and the bar slid to where I couldn't open it up anymore.

Bars should always be left on sliding door so they can't be opened

We have to use our key to lock the doors here. The only way to lock ourselves out is by losing our key. Hopefully that never happens.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:46:24 PM »

I have locked myself out of other homes. Usually there was a way to break in through the window or get a spare key.

There was the time when Bryan was a baby that I was in the back yard when Keith left, and he locked the sliding door first. I could not climb over the six foot brick wall.

Jane · « **Reply #75 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:49:08 PM »

Fortunately it was the neighbor's day off and he was in his garage working on his car. He heard me shouting for him and broke in through our front window, after I told him the secret way to do so.

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:49:15 PM »

I fear to think what would have happened if the neighbor wasn't home.

A couple of years ago, I locked myself out of my car a couple of times within a month! My niece had to come over both times (my sister was still working at her work and not at home then) and wasn't very happy about it...of course.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** May 19, 2021, 05:52:13 PM »

Anyway, I had a separate key ring with a couple of other keys on it that I kept with me, so I just added a second car (and house) key to that key ring, so that if I lost or misplaced or locked my main key ring in my car, I would always have the second key ring on my person. It has helped me at least once since then.

I have ventured out into the basement of my building with the recycling, forgetting my door fob. This was at 5:00am in the morning. I had to wait around the door until another resident came out to go to work to get back in. Perhaps 45 minutes or so.

singdaw · « **Reply #82 on:** May 19, 2021, 06:43:01 PM »

And, yes: I felt quite stupid.

The DH was re-watching the pilot episode of Fran Drescher's The Nanny (with opening jingle by Ann Hampton Callaway). There was a small cameo role for a young up-and-coming actor named James Marsden. Or, as his credit ran back then, Jimmy Marsden.

Getting toward four, but it's a slog.

Good news today from bk about the arrival of the books. I imagine that must be quite an incredible feeling.

We have the option of using a fob or a code.

I can't think of that phrase, "the arrival of the books," without thinking of the equivalent rhythmic phrase in Pacific Overtures: "the arrangement of the screens."
