Ok Here is something that works and may save you and someone else a lot of time. If you have a vheicle with remote entry and you lock your keys in the car. Call your partner that would have a remote also. Put your cell phone on Speaker and hold it next to the door and have the other person hold the remote next to the microphone on there cell phone and press the open button. POOF a lot of time saved :)
Now it is the next person to read this to post a hint and so on down the line. Lets see ifwe can help each other !!

Helpful hints, lock picking is not as hard as you think it is. I learned over a couple weeks and can pick most pin and tumbler locks. On a related note, most cheap safes(think safes you buy in big box stores) can be picked with little more than the file on a pair of small finger nail clippers, a sharp rap on the top while turning handle, or a neodymium magnet. Of course if you learn to pick locks you must follow the golden rule of "only criminals and A holes pick other peoples locks without permission."

Believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see.

Especially on the internet.

If you're out in the woods and go poo poo and you forgot toilet paper, use leaves, ferns, grass.

that is actually a rule there

I am such a rebel.
Do this every lunch break...... I swing over my boots at least once every break too....... but have to wear them at work so i don't yet change them for my lunch hunts.


My additions to the thread would be, based on my life experiences:

1. - Don't take life too seriously, you're not getting out alive.
2. - Give back.
3. - Accept help from others.
4. - Get down on the floor if you can, and play with your kids.

always know ahead of time where you can go to the bathroom just in case, especially in public or semi public spots. and as the old Boy Scout motto was, be prepared for it! of course in the summer heat, have plenty of liquids, Gator Aid is awesome

I did wonder about that and why our car burglars haven't progressed to that level. But I haven't tried it. I would just use that cellphone to call OnStar anyway and have them unlock it. Good tip I can give everybody is don't pee on an electric fence.

Jason before i posted this I went to my car AND rolled down the passenger window Called my cell phone with my home phone , Put my cell phone on the hand rest LOCKED the DOOR !!! went inside my house and with out holding my home phone to to my remote tried pressing it and NOTHING ! Held my home phone to the remote and pressed the remote and BINGO you could her the horn acknowledge it unlocked the door! I tried this 4 or 5 times each way with the phone hearing it and it would work , Not letting the home phone hear it it would not work.
I realize you think your trying to help others but KNOW what your talking about first. I WILL BET YOU $1,000 US dollars what i said worked on here If you wan to take this bet let me know !!!

The plants with three leaves together work especially well after poo pooing in the woods.
