Do you need Embarrassment Insurance?

What if you knew that you could do some things today that would save you future embarrassment, would you do it?

Would it be worth it to you, today, to save face next month, next year or 10 years from now? You see that is the thing about insurance - you never know when you are going to need it.

Well it finally happened to me! Although it had been ten years since it was put in place, this little chick finally came home to roost.

Sure enough, it was one of those foggy brained mornings when I went to get the morning paper. As I closed the door, I realized, "Wait! I didn't unlock the door!" Click! And so it closed, very securely behind me.

So there I was neatly bath-robed, at least, but bed- headed, nonetheless. No, I did not spend needless time cavorting around the neighborhood wondering who was going to help me break into my house.

Because 10 years ago, I bought one of those little inexpensive magnetized key holders and I still knew where it was! Embarassment saved!

Here are some other tips that you can use as Embarassment Insurance.

   1. Keep an accessible, but well hidden (not under the floor mat) spare key to your home, outside your home.

   2. Keep a spare vehicle key that does not reside in the vehicle, in case you lock the key in the car.

   3. Keep your Supra key updated, so that when you are out showing homes, you can actually do it.

   4. If you find a great article in a magazine in a doctor's office, use your smart phone camera to note month and volume and article title and find it online at  home. This will prevent  strange looks as you try to sneak the magazine home .

Alas, this is a partial list. If you can add to this list, please do so. As there is nothing worse than a red face.
