And Then I Laughed…….
Posted By drsao on July 26, 2011
Jan, one of my daughters in CA, reminded me a couple of nights ago about my “weird” sense of humor.
Why would she say a thing like that? Well, you see, I tried the CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON at the Orange Country Fair two years ago and broke part of my tooth off. (The frozen chocolate covered bacon was quite hard!)
I commented that “this bacon sure is crunchy….” only to find out that I was crunching on part of my tooth. Well, this threw me into a fit of giggles that burst forth throughout the rest of the day and night. (I wasn’t laughing at the antics of the clowns at the fair either……it was just hysterical to me that I was going to have to tell a dentist HOW I broke my tooth……a grown woman……well, it seemed funny at the time.)
To cheer myself up (although that is admittedly ironic because what made me THINK that I NEEDED to be cheered up) I bedazzled my foot cast…..and then my grandangel, Jannae, gave me a very colorful painted tattoo. Boy, was I ever happy!
Well, this morning……..I was told by the YIKES APPLIANCE expert that the fridge was FROZEN and that is why water wouldn’t come out of the door…… All I needed to do was to get a new seal and turn the fridge and freezer off for 24 hours. Now I know why they named their business YIKES!
What did I do? I laughed for two hours while I emptied the fridge and freezer……yes I laughed until I was almost sick. Then I laughed because I was laughing and, honestly, I really didn’t think it was that funny! I said, “Self, you need to get a grip.”
Then I stepped into the dog’s water bowl and spilled it all over the floor. YES, you guessed it – another fit of laughter. HAVE I LOST IT?
OK – SO HOW HARD IS IT TO TURN OFF A FRIDGE?
I set it to zero and the setting on the front of the door assures me that it is now OFF – but if it is REALLY OFF then WHY ARE THE LIGHTS STILL ON?
The logical thing to do would be to unplug it……but believe it or not, I CANNOT GET THE PLUG OUT OF THE WALL. When the YIKES APPLIANCE expert returns with the new seal, I am going to swallow my pride and ask if he will unplug the fridge for me so that the 24 hours of OFF can begin. I only hope that I can plug it back in!!!
AND THESE KINDS OF THINGS NEVER HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVEN’T SHOPPED FOR VISITING FAMILY FROM CALIFORNIA…….LOL. Yes, I really am literally rolling on the floor laughing. Maybe it is the sugar…..I had to eat TWO FRUIT BARS because I ran out of room in the freezer in the garage.
Well, maybe the $100 bill will get me to stop laughing…..eventually!
DD Christi and SIL Greg – aren’t you glad that you are on vacation? When you return, you will have a VERY CLEAN FRIDGE!!! :):) LOL And I have just one question……why do we have frozen light up necklace wand/bands in the freezer?
Well there is something extra “funny” about someone chipping their tooth on frozen chocolate bacon when they already have a foot in a walking cast.
Well “FUNNY” in quotes must have a special meaning! :):)

The more you laugh, the longer you live. Keep laughing! LOL
