Things you learned not to do...the hard way!

Posted : 7/5/2007 2:32:52 PM

So HKdog has learned not to put onions in a blender....the resulting eye-stinging liquid has stunk up his house, LOL! [8D]

Now, there are several things I've learned not to do, but by doing them, DOH! [sm=smack.gif]

1. Never, EVER put clove oil on freshly-shaved armpits. Although the resultant arm flapping *may* get you off the ground.

2. Ever have a mint in your mouth and take a drink of water? Or ice water? Know how COLD that feels? Well, never, EVER chew mint gum or suck a mint candy and then INHALE THROUGH YOUR MOUTH while outside in -20°F. OMG I thought I froze my entire insides! AIEEEEEEEEE!

3. If anyone has ever worked as a waiter/waitress and had to deliver large numbers of plates of food, bowls of soups, all on a huge, round tray knows that you don't unload ONE SIDE AT A TIME while holding it up in the air with one hand.....(yes, hot and sour soup all OVER the place!)

I absolutely KNOW I've done more stupid things than those three, but that should get us started.

Go ahead, what stupid thing did YOU learn from?

LOL...

when you're getting ready to jump out at your sister as she enters the door to scare her, make sure it's her, and not the paperboy....two people can be wearing the same colored shirt...

Do NOT keep underwear as momento's of encounters, they tend to pop up at very inopportune moments!

1. When in the middle of a recipe that calls for ground cloves and you are out ....
    DO NOT grind whole cloves in the coffee grinder unless you want strongly
    flavored coffee for a couple of weeks.

2. When finding a small stray kitten with fleas DO NOT attempt to bath him/her
     without back-up. You need someone to retrieve it from the middle of your
     back.

This could be long! [

I've learned, the hard way:

* Not to put bubble bath into a jacuzzi tub.

* Not to put oxy product on hats and then put into dishwasher.

* To give dogs (animals) their personal space...was bitten square in the face - from nose to chin - by a large breed dog, as a child (coming out only with a scratch and wounded emotion & smarter about dogs).

* Not to play in trees above a pile of bricks.

* To be completely "present" when boiling eggs because when the water boils out the eggs will explode all over the kitchen, lol. [

I'm sure I'll be back to add more.

So what do you do, frame it and put it on the bedroom wall? [8|][

Don't kick the ball when your dog is running in front of you with his mouth wide open (6 stitches later...)

Don't ever take five Immodium pills out of desperation. [sm=biggrin.gif]

I've learned not to tailgate. There is a reason for the "10 car lenths" rule. It took me 5 times and 5 totaled front ends to realize it but I think I've finally gotten it through my little dumb blond head. [

Not to dial under the influence. Nothing good can come of it. Ususally you will just end up sounding pathetic to your ex on the other end of the line and then wake up the next morning and sit around watching Lifetime movies with a tub of Ben and Jerry's feeling utterly humiliated. My best advice: give your phone to a friend if you plan on drinking-- just like your car keys.

Don't eat the same thing day after day after day. You will end up hating it. And then when you go home to visit your Mom and she says, "Look I made you favorite feel-good meal! Mac and cheese!" you won't disappoint her by almost puking on the floor.

I've learned:

- that 4 wheel drive and anit-lock brakes don't help you stop in a snow storm. [8|]

- that bathing a cat without a harness on it, is a bad idea

- that shelter workers have the hardest jobs and get no thanks for it [&o]

- that falling through a glass door is not a good idea [>:]

- that learning to snowboard is better if you actually take a lesson [:@]

Oh this is fun.

I've learned:
-Do not hand the supersoaker over to BF to 'hold' until you take off your sunglasses.

-Do not leave the door to the bathroom open when you or the baby is in the tub... the water loving dog WILL come to help.

-Taking the shortcut down the 'really hard to navigate when sober, really really steep hill' after the bar on a Saturday night while wearing heels will NOT get you home sooner, even if you did 'Really Good' in said heels all night long.

-If your child throws up the first dose of the stuff the dentist gives you to make them calm, don't give them a second dose.

-Your double dosed child that thinks they can fly, WILL try. Keep an eye on them...

never trust your sister and her husband when they give you a "concentration test" that involves a quarter (edged in pencil that you are not aware of!!!!) to roll across your face! (Meanies! I was 17 and I still haven't forgiven them for that prank!)
don't wait until your puppy is 6 months old to bring them through the carwash.
there is no such thing as mild wasabi

Do not push down too hard on the front of the boogie board when trying to get that big wave to take you just a little farther [&:].

Wear a one piece suit and not a bikini when body surfing [8|]
