I was sitting in the waiting room while my son went in to have his followup after knee surgery and was talking to the other couple of women in the room. One woman was riding her motorcycle when she hit a deer. She said that her husband was behind her on his bike and they had been pointing out different things in the scenery and she sees him pointing in her rear view mirror, looks up, and there is a deer. She said the deer actually stopped the bike and the bike fell with her underneath. She broke a leg and her shoulder. I just found it so strange that we had just been discussing this in here and I hear a deer story.

We lost a friend to a motorcycle vs deer accident last year. She's lucky she just had broken bones. Those accidents are often much worse.

Oh, goodness, yes. My cats love to lick my eyebrows. And one of them (not naming names) loves earwax so much she'll go right at my ears to get it if she's desperate enough (usually she'll just pull a q-tip out of the bathroom garbage bin). Does anyone else's cat love earwax? I can pick my ear with my finger and stupid cat will just about bite my finger off trying to eat the wax... its incredibly cute and disgusting at the same time.

My first cat was an ear licker. One of me current cats is a face licker -- I get kitty kisses and snuggles every morning, and he gets his breakfast. My other cat likes to like the inside of my elbow.

Ophelia loves to lick my hair right after I get a perm. What's that all about?

One of my cats wants to be a dog and licks all the time. A second cat will lick you if you pet him and then licks himself where you petted him. The dog eats ear wax.

yes I the last time, was many years ago and I had to call my dad to find out where the hide-a-way key was for the spare one. lol We know have a keyless entry to our van, so I only have to worry about forgetting the combo if I do lock them in

Oh yeah. One time, I was visiting my sister and I had her little one with me and I locked the keys in the rental car. It was hot as heck outside and the nice people at the grocery store, let the kids and I hang out there while we waited for the guy to come and unlock it. They supplied the kids with drinks and ice cream.

Once, a long time ago, and I realized what I was doing just as the door left my hand. The security man in the mall was able to open it with a thing like a wire hanger. That wouldn't work on today's cars.

Yes, when I went to a job interview. I'm sure I looked competent having to go back into the place after the interview to ask for help

I did in Alaska with a rental car and they had to fly a key in. I keep a spare key that opens the door but won't start the car in my purse.

Yes I did on my birthday in 1985. Fortunately I had a spare key in my coat pocket. Unfortunately that was in the back seat of the car. So one of my friends thought he could pry the back window open enough for me to reach in and unlock the window. He wasn't a physics guy. Window shattered and glass flew all in my face and in my hair. I had so many small, but painful, cuts on my face, head, neck, arms and legs. Got the keys out. I left the car at my friend's work so he could be there when the glass guys replaced the window. We split the $50 deductible but I was picking glass out of my hair for a long time. We sold my latest car about 3 weeks ago. I never have to worry about that again.

That is why I have a HONDA CRV. It is TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to lock your keys in it!!! Even if you tried to, you could not. It will not let you shut a locked door. You can lock all but one door and shut them, but the last door can only be locked from the remote.

At least three, probably more. We used to have a key code on a van we had. I knew that would cause me to lock my keys in another vehicle someday. Sure enough, it happened. There have been other times too. Luckily I was never inconvenienced a lot because of it. When my oldest was little, I used to give her the keys to play with. I had buckled her into her car seat and locked the door with her and the keys inside. (It is such a habit to lock the car before I close the door.) Luckily it wasn't a super hot day, warm enough to make me very nervous until AAA came to open it. It was a Suzuki Samurai hardtop and very hard for them to break into.

More than once - worst was at a pharmacy when DS was only 2 1/2 and sicker than a dog. We'd gone to pick up his prescription and ended up sitting outside on a bench waiting for DH to drive 20 miles to bring spare. Poor DS just laid on my lap trying not to hurl. Dumbest - started a loaner truck up to warm up (before garage days), and DS (then 5) put his stuff in and slammed door shut - with all doors locked. By the time we got someone out to open it, I was late for school - but the truck was nice and warm! LOL

I only time I locked my keys in my car was in 1982. I drove a funky Chevy station wagon and was a fairly new mother. I had dd bundled in her carseat in the backseat. I drove into our driveway and got out, locking my keys and my months old baby in the car....talk about panic!! I recall trying to stay calm as a new mother and not letting my baby sense I was in total panic mode...lol. I remember waving at her through the window trying to look like this was normal. Although that was some 27 years ago, I don't recall how I got her out, but I did because she's now a 1st grade teacher...lol!!
