Wow! Y'all will never guess what happened in my yard today...
Comments (9)It has been so nice not to have to water every week, I've only used my soaker hose a few times this year and have hand watered the rest. We've had some nice rain the past few days and my plants were needing the rain. I've lost some plants from to much rain earlier in the summer and some have suffered from lack of sunshine not blooming or not growing at all....See MoreWhat has happened to sizing in womens clothes?
Comments (7)Its not just that. It would be expected that different companies have different sizing. I tried on a bra at VS. It fit like a dream. I bought six. I got them home and when I tried on one in a different color it did not fit. I laid them all out and they were ALL different lengths. From the biggest one to the shortest one was a 6" difference with various lengths in between. I took them ALL back and showed them. I just got a shrug from the clerk. This sort of thing happens often. I tried on a skirt and decided to get both colors. Sure enough the EXACT SAME skirt in a different color was huge. Try on everything....See MoreWhat are your phobias? Mine happened today!
Comments (33)Dentists here too - I have to be sedated or have an all-out panic attack (the screaming, barfing, peeing-yourself kind). Good thing about that, though, is that I can have 4 hours of dental work done in one sitting rather than having to go to multiple appointments. My dentist is a double-doc, he's also an MD in anesthesiology. Sadly, he's also hideously expensive, so I don't keep up as well with my dental work as I ought (medical insurance won't cover the anesthesia - which is the pricey part - since it's for dental work, and DH's employer's dental plan is a pathetic joke). Heights... I still have cold sweats remembering driving through the mountains in PA and the high, high, HIGH bridges I had to cross. Really peeved other drivers because I could only go about 35mph with my flashers on. I had this terror that if I went any faster I would go over the guard rail. Oh, and did I mention that it was windy, and that I was driving a Suzuki Samurai with a u-drag-it trailer - NOT what one would call a stable vehicle! Odd one - vomit. Seeing (even on TV or movie - when did it become so acceptable to show this in detail? they wouldn't show someone having a bowel movement...) or hearing someone throw up, or smelling vomit, is enough to send me right over the edge. Add me to the list of claustrophobes, too. I had my first head MRI back before open or partially-open MRIs were common, and I screamed nonstop through clamped-shut jaws during the whole 45 minutes. (Being, shall we say, horizontally gifted, I was in physical contact with nearly the whole tube, and then they put this cage thing over your face... *shudder*) They gave me ONE puny little Xanax. DH was on the microphone repeating "if you touch that button or move an inch, you're going to have to start over from the beginning" in a very stern voice. Now pretty much all the MRI machines around here are open or semi-open and it's a piece of cake....See MoreWhat stupid things have happened to you today?
Comments (15)I was in Smart&Final (name really fits this story) the other day. The lady in front of me was buying a large quantity of cased soda. She had one each of 4 kinds and 6-8 cokes. She put the 4 different kinds and one of the coke ones on the conveyer belt. The checker insisted she had to ring each of the cokes separately. Another checker opened a new line. Since I was next I went over to him where a man from the end of our line tried to cut me off. Then the same man proceeded to invade my space with his cart. I finally had enough an hip checked the cart back into him. HARD. I did this without looking. Heard a loud OW. Again without looking back I said "whoops didn't see ya". Checker grinned. My item rang up higher than it should have. I figured there would be another snag but checker simply asked me the price and punched it in. As I left the lady with soda was still being rung up by the dumb checker she got. My smart checker would probably make rude guy behind me jump through hoops. LOL...See MoreUser
