Who, that made me chuckle. Speaking of shoes, a few years ago I was wearing a pair of black heels, it was pouring rain and a pretty good walk from the parking lot to the courthouse. While going through security I had to remove my heels and have them go through the scanner. I thought nothing of it until I went to put them back on and saw that the black dye had stained my feet. Now I know why people were giving me that "aw, you poor thing" smile.

OK, the other day I was coming out of my laundry room and right in the doorway I twisted my ankle fell forward hit the wooden TV tray set, Banged my head on the door across from the laundry room, and landed on my right knee and rolled to my left hip before stopping. Now all this sounds bad but it happened so slowly that my DH said it looked like one of those old scenes from "The Six Million Dollar Man". He added that he watched me and had time to consider weather he should try to get up off the sofa and catch me. I am fine but I was a little stiff and sore later that day.

Yesterday morning at work, I'd gone downstairs to the cafe to grab a coffee. On the way back up, the elevator comes down to get me, and I step aside to let the people off. One of the guys getting off is a guy I work closely with, so as he passes me I give him a shove and say, "Hey Sh-thead, get back to work." At which point the "guy I work closely with" turns to look at me horrified, and I realize that he's not at all a guy I work with, but a total stranger just going about his day. Yup, I'm good like that. GAL, I love your story about big white car vs. little black one. That's totally something I'd do.

Karen that was the funniest thing I've ever read. I almost spit my tea. Hope the guy got over it when he realized you had mistaken him for someone else.

I wanted to buy one of those signs for a business door that has "open" on one side and "closed" on the other. I went into a store that I thought would have them. I said "Do you have open closed signs." The clerk stared at me. I described what I wanted. She said "If we have them they are with the garage sale signs." They didn't have any. The next store I went to I asked where their garage sale signs (I didn't want to explain open/close again) were. The sales girl was the helpful type and walked me over to the sign rack. There was the sign I wanted. The sales girls said "Oh, I am really sorry, we are out of garage sales signs. I said "That's ok I wasn't looking for one." She walked away from me very quickly.

LOL Doc. You reminded me of another oldie-but-goodie Mom and I did. When I was a teen, I marched/spun rifle in our local drum and bugle corps. We also did indoor winter color guard, where we had to have our rifles padded and taped to protect the gym floors. Specifically, our guard used Dr. Scholl's Foot Pads for the padding. So, Mom and I waltz in to the neighborhood drug store and asked for their Dr. Scholl's Foot Pads. He leads us over to the display, and asks us what size do we want. I'm totally not thinking about my feet of course. I'm thinking about the size of the butt/tip of my rifle that I have to pad. I tell him "I dunno." To which Mom points out the largest Men's size on the display and says, "Why don't you get these, then you get more pad for your money." I tell her what a great idea that is, and tell the clerk I'll take those. He gives me a perplexed look, to which my Mom says, "Oh, its not for her feet, its for her rifle." And this was back in the day when marching and rifle spinning was even more of an unknown entity than it is today! We make our purchase and waltz on out of the store, leaving the clerk to wonder just what kind of lunatics we were! Reading back on this story, I'm thinking how glad I am that she didn't tell the guy it was for my "butt." !!

I fell today. I was spraying off my car windows this morning when I was getting ready to take a daycare child to school and not paying attention, what else is new? I was spraying my side mirror and ran right into the stump of a tree that we had cut down and there I went. Maegan was in the car already and I knew she was trying not to laugh at me so I joked about it but I'm sore tonight. She was telling the other kids how I had grass all over my butt. Good times.

Awwwww... hope you feel better Mamie. I'm notorious for doing things like that so I can't help but laugh at times when I should be really concerned about whether the person is hurt or not. I tripped over a bump I'm sure no one could see in our back yard and kept going head first until I landed face first and trying to brace myself w/my hands. I was laughing at myself, but so afraid a neighbor saw me from inside I think I was afraid to go back out for the rest of the night. One of my better moments was coming out of a bar and warning my friends to be careful of the ice just as my feet went out from under me and I landed flat on my back. Good thing we had a couple of drinks since it didn't hurt so much at the time, but trying to get back up with us all laughing was quite the fete. LOL I drove all around the city today and didn't find out until I got a few blocks from home and stopped to pick up some things that my wallet was at home behind my bed. My purse is notorius for doing that - tipping and spilling and I was making sure I had my phone and head piece. I think I needed the other more. LOL It's bad out so I'm sure glad I didn't have an accident or something. Whew.

I don't ues the new messages feature here. I prefer to browse the menu of threads, see what has new posts, or click on something that catches my eye. Today, two threads that have been around a while were listed one after the other. The first one was "Ideas on Saving Gas." The next one down was "Passings." Seeing as when one skims, they tend to not fully read each sentence, and sometimes two sentences can get sort of combined in the reader's head at first (at least, for me it does). Can anyone guess what my brain tried to have me read by combining the two above mentioned threads into one?

You're in good company! My best fall occurred last spring break when I had not had anything to drink except pineapple juice! Seven of us gals had gone to St. John's (Virgin Islands) and one of our guy teachers was there w/his buddy. We met up at dinner one night - big open floor w/bar (Rhumb Lines). So - this guy was up at the bar, and one of the other gals and I decided he should buy us a drink. I got up to go let him know, and somehow the 1 inch step from the dirt floor part where we were to the tile part by the bar caught my sandal. I did a flat out fall like you'd see if I had been sliding into home plate! This was dead center in the middle of the restaurant, so every single person saw it! One guy hollered, "SAFE!" while I laughed my a$$ off - kicked up my heels in a pose - and got up, unscathed. I'd landed about 6 inches from the guy's feet - but he NEVER saw it because he was flirting with the bartender! Needless to say, my name for the rest of the trip was "Grace"!

When we were coming home from Ca I was soooo tired. I knew I'd have to be the one driving when we landed so I wanted to get some rest. I was just about asleep when my daughter wakes me up. My sis needed some aspirin. I had put them in an empty film case so I picked up a film case and shook it. It sure sounded like pills to me so I handed it over. Pretty soon I'm getting woke back up and everyone was laughing. Of course I'd given them film. Another time my sis Whoami woke me up way to early. She took me to Mcdonalds for breakfast. I walked up to the counter and ordered a hotdog. I meant hotcakes. I've never lived that down.

LOL KTBB. I still remember the look on that poor girl's face when you asked her for a hotdog. Shall we tell them about the time you woke up on the bus, got up and nearly followed a stranger right off the bus?

I had to get blacks band hems sewn on my karate uniform on the sleeves and pant legs. I took the uniform to the tailor 1 week ago. She told me I cold pick it up today. I stopped by this morning to see if it was done. The girl said "He is just starting it now." I said "Can I come back at 5:00 to get it?" She said "yes." To be nice I said "I have to have it by Friday." She said kind of irritated "Two people are on vacation. We are backed up." Wish me luck, I am going back at 5:00.

I drank a new (to me) brand of mocha cappuccino without first reading the ingredients.....whole milk, and I am still suffering! Hopefully, it will pass soon.
