Still Don't Know

If I want to laugh or cry.

I accidentally dropped my glucose meter in the loo last night. Someone had left the seat up and I went to take my meter off the shelf and in it went. It was in its case the meter is ok but I don't want to use the case - might make myself a new one.

I cannot believe that it happened but I am glad the meter was and is alright.

Please feel free to share any oops moments - I'd like a giggle.

I had a comedy fall in town yesterday...was trying to get past group of blokes nattering, and I think my shopping bag went between my knees, and I dropped stick and did funny walk for what seemed like ages then managed to grab some iron railings ;)

Did you check it's reading after you fished it out?

Could have been interesting.

Tripped going up the back steps the other night. Now the screen door has an Ozzy shaped head indent and my forehead has a waffle pattern imprinted.

Nah, I wasn't drunk, but I was working on it ;-/

[queenofmean]

Aww bless Baths...as long as you are ok! xx

[ummmm]

One time my mate was staying with me while his house got renovated. He went for a wee, sneezed just as he flushed, and his two front false teeth got flushed away.

I found it hilarious, he wasn't so happy...

[queenofmean]

sorry oz I had to laugh, but are you ok?

I checked mine but if it acts strange over the weekend I'll get a new one on Monday at the hospital.

The case was saturated the test strip tube was wet but he meter was dryish...if it was my pen or something it would have been fine.

[queenofmean]

Oh no ummmm, that's not good.

[ummmm]

It was so funny. He's so vain which made it funnier :-)

Lol, my dad dropped his crown down the drain once...he wasn't bothered...mum fished it out and told him to go to the dentist. I think he was brushing his teeth at the time.

That's ok then Ozzy! But just take it easy :) lol and you wouldn't have 'incidents'

Many years ago I walked out of my workshop late at night. No moon, no stars, pitch black. Went base over apex over a lawn mower that some pillock had left in the backyard. Destroyed my right ankle, had to ring my youngest son whilst lying on my back and ask him to ring an ambulance. "Send it to the backyard" was my instruction.

Still arguing which pillock didn't put the mower away ;-/

[queenofmean]

Ouch...

hope it wasn't you! But please tell me you have a torch now lol

This happened to a friend of mine. We were in Ireland and as we boarded the Belfast to Dublin express, she slipped and one of her shoes disappeared under the train. The platform manager sent for an engineer to go under the carriage to retrieve it, which he did. Unfortunately all this took time and my friend became more and more embarrassed as the train, full of, getting more and more annoyed, passengers was held up for over half an hour.

[1ozzy]

'Twas me Queenie, but I'm still trying to blame others.

Nah, no torch, but I'm eating truck loads of carrots ;-/

And I've installed a sensor light.

A friend came back drunk from the pub one night, feeling a bit hungry decided to cook himself something to eat. He then fell asleep in front of the fire and his rubber soled shoes were rather close to the fire. He woke up to the smell of burning coming from the kitchen, leapt up and deposited rubber foot prints on the carpet as his soles had melted.

[ummmm]

Lol Eccles...One time my aunt/uncle had a drunk friend to say and their dog ate his shoes....

[queenofmean]

Lordy Vulcan...

Ozzy....what will we do with you.

Oops Eccles...just glad nothing was badly damaged, other than he carpet and shoes! Hope his feet were ok

//Ozzy....what will we do with you. //

Lol, same as everyone else, wish me the best and close your eyes.

Hee hee, my mum told me about halfway through last century, "If you can't laugh at your own misfortunes you don't deserve to laugh at anything".

Very wise lady is my mum!

[queenofmean]

That I shall do then.

But yes I agree with your mum on that one!

He has another brilliant alcohol related story but I can't bring it to mind at the moment.

There's another guy I know who when a young graduate lived above a charity shop. Rather than wash and iron his shirts he'd donate them knowing that they would be washed and ironed before sale and then go and buy them back!
