texasmama Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Depends. We also had a key separate on my wife's car. Sometimes there's only a bit of molded plastic holding it together. Not great for a heavy object that has to be twisted multiple times a day as part of its function. This remote is a keyless starter which has a thin embedded key that is part of the remote. The car would not start without the entire thing so I was stuck with a car that would not start. It is really difficult to separate this piece. My dad couldn't do it when we were changing the battery. I had to depress a button on the side hard in order to get it to separate. I have no idea how little dd got it separated and lost in the yard. This is a newish Camry, and I like the keyless starter okay, but if something happens to the remote you are in deep water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Re: "just homeschooling": There is no "just". Just always means simple, easy, insignificant to me. "Just" take their diapers off and they'll toilet train. "Just" don't put up with it (whatever that means). "Just" taking care of a baby. "Just" read to them. "Just" trust me. Etc. I admit to this myself because is see things black and white and assertiveness is never difficult even a little bit. So I feel like "JUST TELL THE TRUTH!" Or "Just put them in school" because those things are easy. But people underestimate the power of that little modifier... "Just"... If it were "just" why would everyone be working so hard? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I can actually sing so it's good. I did a nice acapella verse of Amazing Grace at the graveside of dh's grandfather. It was July and about 400 degrees. I am a second alto Jean, so choose a song accordingly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Phew! Caught up. Hugs to Dawn and Susan and Jean and Slache and all others feeling sick recently. Hugs to Tex on the whole car thing. Hugs to Mark on the whole work thing, but no hugs on the Mickey thing. Because envy. And a pat on the back for myself, because now I can park in my garage again, and the kids have the basement back for play space again, and the crawlspace is just about organized. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'll harmonize with you. What do you sing? ETA: I can scrape up a really good bass and a nice soprano so we about have four part harmony if you can sing a nice tenor. I can do first tenor in a pinch, if you're first alto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 What do you sing? I can hit just about anything, although my range has dropped some with each subsequent child. I can make it work. Don't worry. ETA: I can sing the full range of alto, tenor, and hit some soprano. I used to be able to sing a lot higher range in soprano, but kids. My dad helped me stretch my voice when I was young by putting me in the soprano section in the church choir (at my request). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right??? I started out as a soprano in middle school, moved to alto in high school and now sing a great Chris Daughtry first tenor. I think we're good then. My break is really low and awkwardly placed so I'm better in the lower ranges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Exciting, Slache. I had one heartbeat when they first checked me. Nobody knew there were two in there until the ultrasound.
