Key Chain Questions

[lovetoread]

I will start out with the fact that I don't have many keys at all. I think I have 2. But I have a lot of key chains and those store scanning doo dads.

I noticed the other day that my thigh has these teeny marks on it but I couldn't figure out where they were coming from, till the son pointed out where the key chains hit me when I drive.

So I may have a key chain addiction. Or not. I do make a lot of noise when I hit a bump or when I carry the thing around a store though.

So is there anyone else that has this issue?

Hey now, some of them are for the library, hospital, and to keep track of my oil changes.

Quickest way to ruin your ignition is to have too many keys or key chains hanging off of it, woman. Save yourself some money on repairs, move all those to a non-driving keyring.

You have a frequent HOSPITAL affinity card?

I've been pruning it down, but since I don't carry a pocketbook, I need to figure out how to carry a second set.

Whoa.

Fuck.


Damn.

I think I may need keychain tech support.

LTR, I think this is Petese for "I'll be your key chain valet"

I could be wrong.

I could use a valet.

My keychain is tiny. My purse is huge. I get dirty looks from security at airports, as if I'm trying on purpose to make their lives difficult.

No, I just need a bottle of water in case I need medication, my medications, a snack to take with emergency medications, all my information, my wallet, my makeup, everything someone in my family might need like Chap Stik and nail clippers, emergency trash bags, a first aid kit...

A few of my customers have scanned their rewards cards into their phones. They pull up the app, I scan the image, and no more killer key chains.

Maybe Pete can put his skills to more delicate work and make you a nice set of earrings.

Have chop saw.

She's right! I had to get my ignition replaced last spring. It was a $700 repair. Not fun

Exactly! The weight on your starter can make it go bad.

I had mine replaced because it was ripped out when it was broken into, I guess that's why I haven't had issues yet.

Exactly! The weight on your starter can make it go bad.

And all of that extra weight makes my moped steer funny.

Another cautionary tale here about ignition wear. Happened to a car I shared with my sister. That car also had a hole in the floor and we duct taped the wing window back on after it fell off while we were driving. What a lovely Frankenstein car she was.

I carry two, the house keys on one chain and the car key on its own chain.

The house key goes into the car door pocket when I'm not at home - never lost that way. The car key stays with the car when I get out and I use the key-fob to open and close the door.

p.s. Thieves, please note that my car is easy to steal, no need to destroy my ignition when you steal it - the key is in the door pocket, right next to my house keys - the address is in the seat box on my insurance card.

p.p.s. all of my store cards are on their own key chain in the door pocket, so thieves, please use the proper store card when you fill the tank or buy groceries, I want the credits.

It might be more cost effective to leave all of it on the key chain in the ignition rather than replacing the door.

I use one of those double key chains that lock together. House, car, etc on one side, studio keys on the other. No decorative key chains at all. I wonder if I should separate them when I drive.

I think the giant key chain thing is a mostly female phenomenon.
