| Water Moccasin (Cottonmouth) We just found and killed a water moccasin (venomous) that was hanging out in our ac drain area. Just a new place for those that are in the area of water moccasins to keep an eye for them. No human or canine injuries.

| Yeah, and we have copperheads on occasion too. Two of the four venomous snakes in the US propagate in my yard. Yippee.

I am not sure. Water moccasins need to be near water. We have a 1.5 acre lake on property and a 22 acre lake just behind our property. Copperheads can be anywhere.

My car key literally fell apart in my hand today when I started my car....thank goodness I got the car started before I released my grip on the key, at which time it fell completely apart....all those little electronic, computerized brain cells that do everything to that car but make it levitate, fell completely apart in my hand! I was sitting at the vet to get these two little girls vet checked for their adoption Friday and Saturday....thank goodness the vet was in the middle of emergency surgery, couldnt see me this evening, so I came back home, before I turned the car off. Now I will have to get the dealer to come tow the car as everything on that car locked down and froze up to keep it from being stolen....and that lousy programmed key costs $280.00 from the dealer....and they are the ones you have to get the key from because THEY program the key to the car!! I need a drink.............a HUGE chocolate malt................. | |

| I always have two sets of keys and always take both sets with me, mainly in case I lock one set in the car or lose one I always have the other. Although this key is expensive you should always have a spare, maybe in a few months you can have a spare made for "just in case".

| Gahhhh! Snakes! Here in coastal NJ they are not a problem but down in SC copperheads are a big problem. They hide in the pine straw around the property. One of my neighbors has killed many of them with his machete. Between them and the alligators in the lake, it's scarey taking a walk in the day time and terrifying at night.

| My key broke but it was just the case and all the electrical stuff was ok. Was still $70 for a new lifetime case. My daughter had this happen and found her key on the Internet for $15.00 and then found a YouTube video on how to program it to her car. (A friend who was a car salesman told her about this cheaper way) Worked for her. I've heard the programming is the most expensive part cause they have you buy the short hairs on that. |

| Sh had a second key though and that gave her time to work through it. |
