LOL Jane... I do stuff like that all the time LOL as a matter of fact... I

went shopping with my oldest on Saturday and we stopped at one of those little

" everythings a dollar " stores.. and I picked up a couple of new things of

makeup. We also hit a new BBQ stand that had opened up in town. I had looked

for two days for that makeup... had daughter clean out car... looked through the

trash... could not figure out where the heck i put it. I was cleaning out frig

yesterday so I could get rid of week old leftovers with the trash this

morning... and guess what I found in the bag with the sandwich i didn't

finish????/ you guessed it... my makeup....My daughter thought this was sooo

funny.

Hi all,

I have done/said so many dopey things in the process of living

with M.E and it`s after effects but 1 particular incident that

happened in my late teens(I`m 30 now) is a memory guarunteed to

still raise a giggle between my 2 younger brothers.

While helping with the household chores I was asked by mum to put

the rubbish out and then put the kettle on to boil. I carried out

both tasks and then reported back to mum " right mum the kettle is

out and i`ve put the rubbish on! "

THAT'S where it went !!!!! I couldn't find it anywhere!

I was at the doctors and he asked me, What do you do for exercise?

I said, Wonder around my house wondering what I am doing.

.....

I wonder why I never get anything done.. I will set out to do the dishes

but on the way to the kitchen I notice I need to fold the laundry and start to

fold them and then remember I was going to do the dishes and head out again,

leaving the rest of the laundry not folded while carrying the folded laundry

with me to the kitchen. I notice I have the folded laundry with me and head

to the bedroom to put them away but notice the bed is not made, I then start

to make the bed but the cat is sleeping on it so I lay the folded cloths on

the night stand and head for the kitchen again but decide to stop at the little

room in the house and notice the sink needs cleaning but the scrub is in the

kitchen so off to the kitchen I go again, the phone rings, Hey Cat what are

you doing, you busy? Busy, who me? Hold on a SEC I want to get my cold

drink. (Pondering) Now where did I leave my drink?

My exercise program but loosing friends.

[Guest guest]

I love the idea of having a CFIDS blooper subject line! I have had many

bloopers! The problem, of course, is remembering them!!!!!!!!!!! LOL! I

ll try to make a mental note of my next one, and send it along. We need all

the chuckles we can get, right? What else can we do about this DD but laugh

at it?

LOL - I know, my daughter and I laugh about all those things all the time. I

mean, it is funny and it certainly helps lighten the mood! I use the wrong

words constantly and my husband usually just looks at me with that look of '

what on earth are you talking about?', but my daughter just knows what I'm

trying to say, and if I ask her something ridiculous, like, " can you put the

milk in the oven? " , she doesn't even blink, she just giggles a little and put's

it in the proper place. That's when I realize I've said something silly and we

both get a kick out of it! Better to laugh it off I say!

Thanks for my morning chuckle.

We should put these in a book, It is good to laugh at the things we do and I

do thank God my sense of humor is intact but I would like to discuss with

him about my sense of smell. Of all the things that don't work my sense of

smell would make a Blood Hound jealous. What gives with that ?

Kate

I knew I bought milk but where the heck was it? I thought I bought milk

maybe I left it in the car, please don't tell anyone I drive, it wasn't in the

car must have left it at the store, I wasn't about to back so I gave up the

search. Some time later I was doing something in the kitchen when I opened the

freezer and there frozen was my milk. Thank goodness I found the milk.

The next day I open the frig and no milk again. I had found the milk in the

freezer and was so excited I had put it back in the freezer. @@_)

I'm sorry you have this issue, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! No

wonder the house is in constant disarray. I have been Miss Organized all my

life - the queen of milti-tasksing! Now, suddenly my husband is very frustrated

that I don't get the laundry done (which, btw, he has done for 20 years at our

house!) as easiliy as he thinks it should be done. " if you could just learn to

multi-task, you could get everything done! - you're home all day! " I would

like to clobber him some days! Did he forget that easily? I sure didn't! LOL -

Hang in there everyone!

Bless your heart Shycat!

I am impressed by your energy though! I nod out on the toilet. LOL

[Guest guest]

Hey

Of course I don't mind! You made me laugh and I needed that for sure.

What

I meant by energy was just reading all that you went through is more

than

I can even attempt at this point but it is funny and on good days can

relate! Yes..tired of waking so often and automatically running to the

bathroom as if that is the only thing that would wake me, and fall

asleep

there! Alarm? Nah, I'm considering putting a toilet next to my bed so

if I

fall asleep, I'l'l fall back into bed! HA!

Huggs!

Hi,

I think we have connected..lol

This is great, yes, Widlle is a little character, as parrot owners see that they

all have their own personalities and are so cute by them, ok, back to bed,
