nigel99 618 #1 November 21, 2011 I was given a collectable chess set a couple of years ago. http://www.edmancollection.com/product_pages/chess_sets/cs6p/index.html Freaking wife let the kids play with it and now a piece is lost I would never spend ~$600 on a chess set but I do like it. Wife is keen to throw it away because you can get similar sets for $50.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

It just disappeared. After 4 days of searching, the only thing I could do was call AAA for a tow to the nearest dealership, 25 miles away and have them sync two new keys with the vehicle in the shop. Cost me $300... The very next day, there was a cup that was sitting in the corner of the spa tub in our bathroom and thought, that needs to be washed and reached over to pick it up... yep, the fucking key was in there.

JohnMitchell 16 #9 November 21, 2011 That's the real reason people with kids need to lock up their guns; so the kids don't lose them.I'm an "a place for everything" kind of guy, because I can misplace stuff with the best of 'em. Having up to 5 other people in the house can sure throw a wrench in that plan. Right now I share a garage workshop with a teenaged son. I wish I could use my workbench, but it's covered with all of his projects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fucking 3 year old... Yeah 3 year olds and keys. My wife had the bright idea of giving the twins the car keys to play with when they were 1 or 2. A few problems with her strategy. They were in the car with the doors closed, she was taking shopping in. I was at work 60 miles away with the spare key. Of course the boys locked the car by mistake. Alarm going off, boys inside crying and no spare key. She had to call the AA to bust them out.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
