One-Liner Wednesday – When one door closes…

37 Comments

When one door closes … apparently the lock gets stuck and the key breaks off inside the keyhole. AKA my afternoon yesterday with a locksmith working on my front door.

I swear, if it’s not one thing, it’s another.

As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.

Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”

The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:

1. Make it one sentence.

2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.

3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.

4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!

5. Have fun!

    I have experienced that, during the worst time of my life. Got a new chance and opportunity, yet very far away. That happens.

    :0 Our #3 daughter had (well, HAS) phenomenal strength and minuscule patience. Same thing happened to her — only with the car’s ignition key. Oh, and it happened with her house key, too, now that I think of it. The locksmith was an afterthought; first, she broke a window and B&Ed her own house.

      Oh my. 😲 If I hadn’t been in the house, we’d have had to resort to climbing in a window too. Luckily, I asked the locksmith while he was here if he could make a key for the back door. We’ve been in the house for fifteen years and never had one. I’m now the proud owner of two keys for my back door, should it happen again. 🙂
