I sure that everyone here has lost their keys at one time or another.
Sometimes they turn up after a thorough search. Sometimes they don't and
you end up having to go out and have new keys cut. Then there are the
times that you get the new keys cut and the old set shows up.

My wife lost her keys and had been se4arching for them for almost two
weeks. Yesterday I set off to get a new set made, and knowing all along
that they old keys would be found after I did it. I went to the local
hardware store because they have never made me a key that didn't work.
The guy cut one for the house on for the Buick doors and trunk and one
for my Honda. He could not cut one for the Buick ignition because it has
a security key and I would have to go to a GM dealership for that. He
wasn't sure about the Honda, and as it turned out, it did have a
security chip so the new one would work in the doors and turn the engine
over but it wouldn't start.

I went to the GM dealer in town and had to order a key which would come
in today and I would have to bring the spare keys in to have it cut.
..... $53.95 for the blank key !!!! So I ordered it, but called my wife
to see if she had had any luck yet.

Then I headed to the Honda dealer in the city. They had a blank in
stock.... $35. I had to run it over to a locksmith to have it cut, a
mere $3 and then return it to have it programmed, and all the keys had
to be programmed together. Since they were going to be closed for lunch
hour before I could get back I stopped for a coffee. After my coffee I
scoured my Honda. I checked the console, the glove box, the trunk,
between the seats, under the seats, between the back seats. We carry a
towel for the dog in the back and I picked that up. It was all folded
up, and as I picked it up I felt something odd inside. .... my wife's
keys. They were balled up inside the dog blanket.

Since I already had the $35 dollar key cut I could not return it.
Between that and the $3 for cutting I had $38 invested in it already. I
figured I might as well go back and spend the other $35 to get them all
programmed. At least it would be worth something then.

Luckily, I was able to cancel the Buick key. So.... more than $40 spent
and three hours of running around all for nothing. And I knew all along
that they would show up as soon as I got the new keys cut.

You're lucky.

Mine has lost a few cell phones which she keeps on vibrate - that's of
course so we can't find the telephone by calling it.

The last time when we went on a concerted effort to find it, when lifting
the couch I felt a burning in my hand. After 4 trips to the doctor and hand
specialist, several cortisone injections directly into the palm of my hand I
finally had to have the Trigger Finger corrected surgically. - you're in
luck only a few bucks lost.

Count your blessings.

Well, look at it this way. If, after days of searching, somebody with a
magic wand had come to you and said, "For $40 I can make your keys
re-appear", would you take him up on it? I would. And at least now
you've got a spare.

I recently bought a Grand Cherokee with security features in the keys
- it was 4 years old, and came in with only 1 key. Of course, I
locked the key in the car the first week I had it - my old car had
keyless entry, so I wasn't used to taking the keys out of the
ignition.

It cost me $65 at an Ace Hardware store (didn't have to go to the
dealership) for the key, plus it would have cost another $65 for the
remote to lock/unlock/alarm, so I didn't buy an extra one of those.

Those keys cost ya!

I'll fess up to having (once or twice) worked myself into
a snit over lost keys which I was holding in my hand.

I was running late to go somewhere and spent an hour hunting
everywhere for my keys while all that time they were in my hand DUH...
go figure... I was maybe 30 years old at the time so it wasn't senile
dementia, and I never did drugs, was just one of those once in a
lifetime brain farts.

Since moving here I have every key in triplicate on a ring with a tag
marked with my PO Box... one set with me, one set hidden in my barn
and another set hiddden in the woods by my house... if ever I dropped
my keys somewhere outside odds are I'd never find them. However, by
retracing my path I have found fasteners that had loosened and fell
off my tractor mower... lynch pins have a way of catching on brush and
pulling off... of course then the wheel falls off along with all the
height adjusting bushings, and not all in one spot. So far this has
occured twice and both times I was able to locate all the parts by
retracing the path I took... pure luck. I have since bought extras
but still I'd hate to hit those steel parts with my my mower blade or
worse pierce a tractor tire. I also have one of those powerful
magnets used for retrieving heavy magnetic things from under water...
I bought it years ago to clean up discrded nails from when I had some
typical dumb roofer reshingling my roof... many times it's located
lost hardware on the ground. Of all the building trades roofers are
the least skilled and have the lowest IQ.

Think of it this way you were making sure the oven was preheated adequately.

I am getting really good (well, most of the time!) about mise en
place. No matter what I am cooking.

The last time I messed up, was when Arri London came over to dinner.
However, it wasn't too bad a mess up: I was going to fix a Lidia
recipe for spareribs. I didn't check in advance to see if I had
honey, (cause I always have honey around!) and it turns out I had
none. So the recipe got abbreviated to not having a glaze on it.
Still turned out fairly good.

This was the recipe I started out to make:

No. A good mandolin, say a Gibson F-5, costs in the thousands. OTOH, a
good food mandoline is within that range:

That depends on the F-5. The right one could go for hundreds

And then there are the radio collars worn by JRTs during hunting, which
allows the handler to locate and dig down to a terrier that has followed
his/her prey to ground, gotten into a stand-off and has to be dug up and
retrieved.

Not gonna work. The kids have been shown to be resistant to the new
GPS tracking technology - some have been known to gnaw their foot off
at the ankle. I suggest subcutaneous cell phone implants. Tracking of
the kids at that point would be easy:

Probably depends upon the regional source.
In Russian Cyrillic, it's BOPW, where the 'P' is an 'R' (like Greek
Rho), and the 'W' is a single character pronounced SHCH.
(Think "fresh cheese"). (And the W character derives from a Shem, with
an added tail on the right side...)

In case it can get through: ????

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast were on sale (8 Hour sale) for $1.79 per
pound. I was running low so I purchased my usual 10 lbs. Now BSCB can run
from $5.00 per pound to $1.79 per pound. For the most part I don't see a
lot of flavor difference between the brands/prices.

How about you? Do you have a preference? Are the higher prices BSCB worth
the difference in price?

Oh, I love cinnamon and he might have over did it. I use cinnamon for a
lot of things too. But Jill indicated the tamales could have passed for
cinnamon rolls.

Yep. As I said, it wasn't a mere hint of cinnamon. I couldn't taste
anything BUT cinnamon. They were gross.

Oh my gosh! We have a Hungry Howie's here, but it's a buffet chain. Is it
the same place? You can order a pizza for $5?
