I hope you don't have to spend that much time visiting the hospital, though!Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-44171342384901224072012-05-06T01:16:10.798-04:002012-05-06T01:16:10.798-04:00J, you've GOT to watch the parking garage Sein...J, you've GOT to watch the parking garage Seinfeld episode. NOW! No, seriously, I hope it's in youtube, I'm sure one of your techie sons or extras can find it for you. it's HILARIOUS, and you've got to see it! You're totally going to identify. <br /><br />P.S. I can't stand Seinfeld, but this episode was great and your post reminded me SOOO much of it, it felt uncanny.Lilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809018728037248794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-69621198276347769962012-05-05T16:48:29.937-04:002012-05-05T16:48:29.937-04:00Not like it's any better inside hospitals.

It showed up eventually. I've had every bad experience you related at some point, so be sure and share if you find a foolproof answer. (I've had similar problems locking my keys in my car, sometimes while it was running - but now I have a car which forbids that.)Sibylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534969334909238812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-74599787914574085082012-05-05T01:39:39.331-04:002012-05-05T01:39:39.331-04:00you've probably figured something out by now. ...you've probably figured something out by now. i always write down the level [and often there are other distinguishing factors, like sections of a level, or "NW stairwell"]. <br /><br />what i really hate is parking in a big unfamiliar garage when i'm driving a rental car, because i can never remember what my car is supposed to look like. when my mom had her stroke, there actually was a valet service at the hospital parking lot, far from where i live -- at least they could find my car after those visits.kathy a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14479337952651746193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-44680277465886989522012-05-04T12:07:15.045-04:002012-05-04T12:07:15.045-04:00I sympathize.

I am the one annoying everyone by hitting the panic button on the remote in order to find my car. <br /><br />Last, I use the camera on my phone to take a picture of the floor number. I also take pictures of my car, which I thought would help me find it because I can see who is next to it, but um, those people moved. It is helpful when you ask the security guard to help you find your car though. I can never remember details like what color the car is....susanhttp://theskyislaughing.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-13878923698123519162012-05-04T06:45:50.576-04:002012-05-04T06:45:50.576-04:00Jennifer: Oh, a flag is a good idea.

Back in the day, I used to sometimes tie something to the antenna, but then a I got a newer car and one of the first things I noticed is that it doesn't have a metal antenna on it. I don't know why the car manufactures stopped making those antennas -- they used to come in handy for stuff like that.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-30574709473231569292012-05-04T06:42:41.466-04:002012-05-04T06:42:41.466-04:00Tie-Dye Brother-in-law: Ha!

But he also says there's a tunnel between the garage and the hospital and I've never seen that either.
