Let's Keep Laughing!

Hi Ladies-

I hope that everyone is doing well! We all seemed to enjoy the "Things In Common" thread, so I thought it might be nice to keep the lighter side of things going...

So, let's branch out a little- what is one of the silliest things you've ever done or what do you do that makes you look at yourself and think "wow, I really need to seek help fast" lol. Sometimes my DH and DD look at me like I have two heads!

Here's mine: when I was 18, I decided to try and impress a guy I was interested in by trying to cook him dinner. I figured that grilling was something all guys liked, so I set out to light the grill and give it a whirl. Yes, it is time to start the eye rolling...Now, I had never lit a grill in my life and for those of you that aren't familiar with the process, one turns a dial to "light" and then presses a button to strike the flame. Needless to say, after 3 or 4 attempts with no luck, I decided to stick my face over it and press the button at the same time; I wanted to "see" if I was doing it correctly- lost my bangs, eyebrows, and part of my eyelashes that day!

My brows never came back; I spend 10 minutes every morning drawing them on, sometimes my DD says "Mom, you forgot your eyebrows today" lol. I have a drawer that has certain brow products that I use, depending on the weather...powder vs. pencil vs. gel! I am not kidding, lol.

BTW, I knew my DH was a keeper when he looked at me for the first time without makeup and said "damn, I thought those were real!"

Your turn!

My oh my, how funny! I'm sure you gave the men in your office quite an eyefull. Lol. They probably can't wait for you to come to work now!

"Kindly diplomatic" is one way of saying it! Lol. I've not touched a grill since and I refuse too now. I'm just glad my eyelashes came back! To put it in a not so politically correct way, I'm Asian, I don't have much of any eyelid to glue false lashes to, lol.

I had a call the other day from a colleague whilst I was sitting having my lunch and internet shopping at my desk, so he asked me to demonstrate to him via the screenshare function how I was running a certain report.

I told him sure no worries I pressed the screenshare icon and it promptly broadcast him the lingerie website I had been bra shopping on and forgotten to close, I could have DIED on the spot.

Hmmmmm, another lingerie related post. I see a trend starting, lol!

Yeah, at least I wasn't wearing the undies I guess!

Seriously though, thanks for going off topic dachsundmom - the power of laughter is a good thing.

Oh dear, my mum has no eyebrows, no accident she doesn´t have them, so last week she had them tattooed on and now she doesn´t have to draw them on daily, she is really happy with them and can even go swimming without looking permanently surprised.

I know I'm not supposed to go off topic, but I find if we can help each other remeber that there's always something we can laugh about, then we're winning the battle!

I have sooo many stories that make people roll their eyes and look like I need serious help

One of them did end up teaching me to check, double check and then treble check who I am sending emails to

Not long after DH and I started dating he took a trip to America so we emailed a lot, well one day I wrote a racy email telling him how much I missed him and how I was going to show him when he got home I was thinking properly when I went to the address book, clicked what I thought was DH's email (but was the one above) and sent the email to a close male friend instead of DH Thankfully the friend knew it wasn't for him as he & I share the same taste in men But it took a long time for him to stop winding me up over it

It could have been worse as my mum's email address is the one below my DH's
