...for the absolutely, most profoundly, stupid thing we have all done so far today.

I am entering into competition the fact that I momentarily blanked on the fact that my FTP *downloads* as well as uploads and thereby grieved that my change in host caused me to lose some data that I didn't have backed up on my hardrive - or the way cool new dvd burner I now have.

Then the little voice in my head whispered "ummm...Morgan? You still have access to your old host, don't you? The stuff is still up on *their* server, and all you have to do is..."

Oh, I said. Yes. That's true, isn't it?

Then, as is my habit when I feel like this, I said aloud "oh, for fuck's sake."

This caused my husband to say nothing whatsoever as he is a wise man and knows better to respond to that phrase.

my stupid mistake was pointing this thread out to my wife saying, "YOU SEE!!"

Oops. That one tops mine.

Take care, Robert. We wives are frequently armed with sharp objects and sharper attitudes.

Congrats, Tonya! It's wonderful having you here!

I *hate* being early even more than I hate being late, I believe. Every time I show up early for a doctor's appointment...it's the day he's running behind and I have to wait even more. I don't "wait" well.

Mine was actually thinking that the Pharmacist wouldn't think I was all wacked out when I asked him

" Where do you keep the Speculums?"

That beats my favorite "pharmacist" story.

My sweet, endearing, impossibly innocent mother wanted to purchase her children new pairs of rainwear shoe coverings. So...she approached the pharmacist and in a voice that echoed enquired "where do you keep the rubbers?"

My father slammed a hand over his mouth and flung himself backwards down a different aisle to try and sifle the hysterical laughter.

The local pharmacist, who had known my mother for a very long time, regarded her in silence for a second, smiled...and pointed her to the galoshes.

Years later, my mother forced her gynecologist to write this same pharmacist a note explaining why she was being put on birth control pills. (Hormone regulation.) See, my father was doing his first tour of duty in Vietnam and respectable wives whose husbands are away do not require birth control pills...unless....

My Dad would have howled at the speculum story, Vid.

My mother wouldn't have understood it.

Having no wife here, I took this very generous opportunity to laugh out loud at this thread, all the while pointing at the monitor in a very mocking way.

Now, had there actually been a wife present I'm sure I'd be dead by now.

LOL .. my partner and I had a good laugh about it this morning .. Cus right after I asked .. I tryed to explain what it was .. And believe or not I m a pretty shy guy out in public .. So i had a low talking voice .. Making a V shape with my hands .. and look squarely into his eyes and said " you know .. to see a woman PUSSY better"

Turns out all I had to do was call my good friend Slim and borrow one of his ... LOL

My mistake was not coming over here yesterday and saying "HI" to my friend Morgan
