Polybagged along with my TVGuide that came in the mail yesterday was a little packet of tissues "For all those tears of joy" I'll shed when I watch Oprah’s Big Give. I won’t be watching it, but thanks anyways Oprah ( Read more... )

And on my way home from the train I found my car key that fell off of my key ring a few weeks ago. It still works after being buried in the ice and snow and occasionally driven over for two weeks. So now I don’t have to spend $100+ to replace it. Yea!

omg! *that* is really awesome!

It really is!

Yay for finding lost key. A specially since it is $100+.

Thanks.

I was shocked when I found out how much it cost, so I thrilled when my stubbornness to wait and see if I could find the key paid off!

I have heard that it is crazy expensive to replace the car keys that have micro chips in them.

One dealership quoted me $65 for the key and $60 for programming the chip.

I miss my trusty old 1992 Civic and its $20 key.

There are certain phrases and ideas that, as a Californian, have never entered my head. This is right up there. First, there's the whole idea that your key would still be in the same spot two weeks later, and then there's the reason why. I just can't quite imagine it. So basically, you dropped it and it got buried during the day and then when stuff started melting you found it two weeks later?

lunda February 21 2008, 17:45:28 UTC

Hee. I thought you Californians might be amused by that statement. And yup. That's pretty much it :)

I was freaked out when I first realized that the key was missing thinking someone might find it and try it on all the cars of that make in my neighborhood. Then I began to be thankful for the ice and snow (the only time I've truly been thankful for the ice and snow) protecting it until I, constantly being on the lookout for it, could find it.
