    It isn't a favorite but it is the stupidest...Getting married a second time. If I had not done so I would be down in Key West swilling Margs with Jimmy Buffet.

  • My attempt at making turkey soup ended when I absent mindedly threw the stock down the sink and kept the bones

  • Many I would just like to forget. I'm trying to think about something I did completely on my own that didn't involve anyone else, but had some permanent results. Otherwise, if nobody notices, it didn't happen (g). I did manage to ruin my Brother's Microwave by entering 50 minutes instead of 5 minutes for popcorn and I forgot about it until the smoke detector went off. The micro was never quite right after that, and I had to buy him a new one.

    I went into a new restaurant in town with a friend of mine.  I ordered ribs and went over to put some BBQ sauce on it and when I came back to the table my friend was looking strangely at my plate.  I thought she might have wondered why I only put a small amount of BBQ sauce on the side of my plate.  I told her I'd never had that sauce before and I didn't know if I'd like it or not.  She asked where I'd gotten it and I pointed out the machine and then she started laughing.  That's when she informed me it wasn't BBQ sauce, it was ice cream.  It doesn't help when you don't wear your glasses all the time either.

    You all have wonderful stories!! Thanks so much for sharing them, I got lots of laughs at your expense... Truly, though: 

    It's nice to know I'm not the only one.

    I always spray my house for bugs every four weeks during the Summer.  One of those times I opened a new container of Ortho Home Defense (something like that) and sprayed around the baseboards of the whole house.  When I put the container up in the utility sink to rinse off the sprayer I noticed the back of  the bottle said: Browning will occur within three hours.  I couldn't imagine.  Well, I had bought Round Up (or similar product) and sprayed my entire house with it.  I had new carpet on two of the three floors.  I was so angry with myself but it all buffed and actually no browning ever occurred.  It seemed to have kept the bugs away too.  :)

    I  managed to not do it a second time so far.  That is something I'm really happy about now.   I'm not swilling margs but I do live in total peace.

    Petty larceny <200. Free cab ride to the house and my dad took care of everything else, as I was in the hospital on my court date.
