Acknowledging your day of remembrance as well. Prayers to those who have passed on.
Who wouldn't? I figure that I only go around once and the whole system is like playing Russian Roulette anyway. Or to quote a famous philosopher, Forrest Gump's mother, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get".It’s not a myth but

The saying is to promote healthy eating as preventative maint to medical issues. One peer at work said to me years ago he can’t afford healthy food and all he can afford is junk food. I told him raw spinach is on sale at Wal Mart but he replied he would rather buy junk food instead of eating spinach.
I like the keyless entry too, just do not lose the key fob. They cost close to $500.00 to replace. Guard it with your life. I'm not even sure if you can start your vehicle if you have a dead fob battery and I don't want to find out. I'm just guessing that you have the keyless start as well. (you might not because not every keyless entry has the keyless starter)I like it. The heated steering wheel is really nice. And the keyless entry. And heated seats. And I just like the look of it.
My keys are either in my pocket, or on the hook by the door. I never put them anywhere else.I like the keyless entry too, just do not lose the key fob. They cost close to $500.00 to replace.

It is a personal choice on how one chooses to live their life, I agree. My family who some are MDs, and RNs advise as long as some make poor choices the health care industry will continue to be a billion dollar industry. Some I worked with died at an early age making poor choices. They had all the resources for help but it is the individual that has to change.Who wouldn't?

I have often asked my daughter if she has decided which of her lives she is planning to enjoy.
I love the old school Ford get in your car idea. Just punch a number code on the outside door panel to unlock the door.I like the keyless entry too, just do not lose the key fob.

I do the same thing, but just the one time when I had a brain cramp, however, I manage to put them down someplace else because I was distracted and they were accidentally thrown out. It was into one of those crushing dumpsters that before I realized they were missing they became lost forever. $475.00 later, I had it replaced. I didn't have to replace it, I still had my spare, but if something happened to that I'd be walking. I'm not saying that you aren't doing what I do now which is to check my pockets and the hook by my door quite regularly but crap happens. And this one I can only blame myself.My keys are either in my pocket, or on the hook by the door. I never put them anywhere else.
It has become muscle memory for me to check my pockets for three things anything I stand up... my phone, my wallet, and my keys. If I don't have one, it feels like I'm missing part of my body.I do the same thing, but just the one time when I had a brain cramp, however, I manage to put them down someplace else because I was distracted and they were accidentally thrown out.

To add to the foolish feeling I had, my car was almost brand new and only had about 800 miles on it. A broken Fob was covered under the warrantee, a brain cramp loss was not!

For me....and probably for you(?) there is no "loose key fob". My Mazda key fob is the foundation for a key ring that also includes the keys to my home as well as the keys needed in my school job. Heck I even have the key fob for my wife's car as well.It has become muscle memory for me to check my pockets for three things anything I stand up... my phone, my wallet, and my keys.

I have my car keys, apartment key, and school keys on the same ring. Otherwise I know I'll forget or lose one when I need it.For me....and probably for you(?) there is no "loose key fob".

I'm glad my key fob doesn't have remote start on my car. My cars are manual trans so I leave my car in first gear with the parking brake pulled up . At a hotel in the pouring rain a guy thought he locked his car and ran inside the hotel. About 10 min later a staff member told him his car was running with the doors locked. The owner in a hurry pushed the remote start while running to the hotel entrance to escape the rain. He ran back to the car to turn off the engine via his remote.For me....and probably for you(?) there is no "loose key fob".

Well your brain is a lot younger then mine so you might still be safe, but I had that, a place for everything and everything in its place mentality and not only that happened but the formal wallet, glasses, phone and keys checklist has surprisingly sent me off on a short trip without my phone and once without my wallet. Glasses aren't really a problem because my vision is quite good without them and I cannot lock my apartment door without my keys, It's a deadbolt only lock so I cannot lock it outside without a key.It has become muscle memory for me to check my pockets for three things anything I stand up... my phone, my wallet, and my keys.

Glasses are easy for me. I can't see anything without them, so I will never forget them.Well your brain is a lot younger then mine so you might still be safe, but I had that, a place for everything and everything in its place mentality and not only that happened but the formal wallet, glasses, phone and keys checklist has surprisingly sent me off on a short trip without my phone and once without my wallet.

What I do occasionally forget is that our building requires a pass card (also on my key chain) to get inside and twice I went outside for something only to find myself locked out of the building. I didn't lock my apartment because I was only going for a minute. I've done the same thing with my mailbox key. That's not the end of the world but it did make me walk all the way back to the apartment (a good 100 yards) to get my mail. Perhaps I should put up a Go Fund Me site to help me find a way to overcome this obvious mental illness.
Ditto.Glasses are easy for me. I can't see anything without them, so I will never forget them.
They let you choose? Mine says I must have them to drive. I have prescription sunglasses, and when I change into those I even feel like I'm risking my life in the 2 seconds in between pairs.Ditto.
When I last renewed my ODL, I ticked yes for the box that asked “Do you need corrective lenses to drive?”
The lady at Service Ontario: Hang on, if you check that and you’re ever pulled over without your glasses, it’s a big fine.
Me: I can’t even back up my car three feet in the driveway without them. I’m good.
