Do not fry hamburger meat then drain off the grease in the same color cup you are drinking your tea out of...especially if the cup with the tea is right next to you on the counter.  You will walk away for a micro-second, come back and pick up the cup of hot fat and take a big long drink..., burn your lip and spit it all against the wall.  You will quickly reach into the cabinet for the 409 and grab Febrez instead which you will discover does squat for grease stains.  While wiping the wall in futility, you will knock over the cup of fat with your arm flab and now have to clean up that mess....in the meatime the meat is burning on the stove.

Just another day in Fibroville... smhair

huggies

You come up with the cutest things Donna.

sorry you had to have that experience but it kinda makes me feel not so bad for the things I've done.It was like a chain reaction

Donna...Donna...Donna...you live up to a true fibromite's standard turn

I'm glad you didn't spit the grease into an open flame yeah that could of been scary smhair . Hope your lip feels better!

One of the dumbest things I've done in the kitchen was preheat my oven while storing a cake in there with a plastic cover nono .

Fibromites rule!!!

Hugs, Robin

Good story Donna! Exactly an other day in Fibroville :)
I know all about drinken the wrong cup, or in my case wrong bottle :D
I have a bottle of water in my fridge and right next to it nis a bottle of 'jenever' (for those of u that don't know this is a kind of Belgian Schnaps, very very strong!)
I got up in the morning and sleepy headed went to the fridge to take a sip of water..... Well i gues i don't have to explain how this worked out :D
I can tell u one thing though: it woke me right up!

OMG Donna you really had a bad day,

I hope you're all right after all of that, I admit I have my moments but so far no burnt lips. I have changed a few things in my fridge I no longer pour things out of large containers into smaller unmarked containers, too many ??? whats in there moments, I no longer store anything in my oven, too many whats that smell moments. There are so many stories I'm sure fibromites could collectively write a book that would have people wetting their pants reading it.

Take care

Hi Donna! Im Zealand. Your misshap had me peeing my pants and gagging at the same time! I love humour during crisis...its the only sanity that's left. I just realized while reading your post that my clumsiness may be due to my fms. Thank you for the laughs and the insight. Im relieved to know I'm not alone in the clumsy department. Haha!

Some days work for me can be a DISASTER skull I'm a dental assistant, and I've had dentists say to me 'boy, you really need to stop dropping stuffnono ' . This was YEARS before my FM became severe, lol. Maybe clumsiness is the best warning sign of FM. I used to and still do walk into walls, regularly, mis-step, mis-speak, mis-everything, and that was before my FM symptoms even started! LOL tongue My then boyfriend, now husband, still laughs at mesmilewinkgrin and laughter of coarse being contagious, I cannot help but laugh either
tongue.

I say if we don't have a sense of humour about some of the stuff our bodies pull on us, life will just drag on and on, so make sure you laugh at yourself once in a while turn

And p.s. Vestabula, thanks for the 'unintentional' laugh of the day:)
Posted 6/8/2011 1:41 PM (GMT -5)
LOL!!!! Oh, Thanks! Too funny! The next time I leave the eggs out of the batter, I will remember I've never drank a cup of fat. And the part about arm flab!!! Just too funny. thanks a bunch for a great laugh :)

Yeah I've noticed over the past several months I've been walking into wall and door knobs etc. Especially when I'm tired. I finally had to tell my bf to not be close enough to me to breathe the same air when I get like that. Its for his own protection! And stepping sideways while wearing go-aheads (flip flops) has become interesting too.

Donna thank you so much for the laugh. Whenever Im feeling low I know I can count on either you or Robin to bring me back up. Love you my friend.

Hey my mom doesn't have fibro but it's a funny story anyway.

When we were kids she had two unmarked glass jars filled with something that looked the same.  She assumed they were both farina and combined them.  Then she cooked it for us.  Well, we were telling her how gross it tasted, and she said, stop complaining and eat it.  She finally listened to us and took a taste.  She combined farina with dishwasher soap.  YUMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!
