Apparently you can’t die of embarrassment..

I posted this in the wrong thread. I meant to post it here.

I do a little public speaking, usually at church. The first few times I did, some absolutely bone-headed things would spontaneously blurt out of my mouth. Oh I'm really glad you can't die of embarrassment, but there were times I wished I could, lol! I had my audience in stitches a few times, and never on purpose. My deliveries have gotten a lot better with practice and now if I get a laugh it's usually intentional. Whew!

Oooo public speaking…I will and do from time to time but I’m a laugher. It’s hard for me to get through the smallest speech without getting the giggles. I’m guessing it’s nervous laughter. The worst was giving my grandmothers eulogy. My granny was the kindest most loving person. She was absolutely my best friend. When she died a piece of my soul went with her. Buuuut during her eulogy I laughed the entire time. This bizarre laugh crying situation. Finally the pastor (God bless him) took me to the side and had me breathe. I went on to speak but I just told stories of her being funny. The woman was a riot. As embarrassed as I was, I’m pretty sure she was laughing as well.

Reminds me of that Mary Tyler Moore episode. I was rolling on the floor. I hope people laugh at my funeral. Rather have them laugh than cry. Your granny would have loved it!

Oh my gosh. I'm sorry but this did make me nearly die . I'm glad you and the chickens are okay though and hopefully the coyotes get dealt with. It sounds like your outfit was quite something

Wouldn't a picture be worth a couple thousand words? Then again ... so is the visual! I'm glad your chickens were okay - and thanks for the reminder that we'll do anything to protect our feather-babies!

Please laugh away! At least some enjoyment will come from this.

I think that it’s the serving fork in your hand, ready to take on monsters, that is the icing on the cake!

I know! I panicked and grabbed it off the stove on my way out. And I’ve got 3-4 really good flashlights, but ended up with my sons Lilo and stitch one, a plastic thing instead of an actual light I could use, it was projecting scenes from the movie lol…I’m obviously fantastic in an emergency situation-not!

Years ago our apartment alarm went off in the middle of the night (false alarm) I jumped out of bed and ran aimlessly around the place, hubby answered the phone then went back to sleep.
I should mention hubby works in the security business…

What a coincidence! I’m a pro at running around aimlessly!! And grabbing “weapons” that are only going to anger or annoy an intruder/predator. I’m not sure if my head is void of all thoughts or too many thoughts at one time.

I remember one time, there was a gas leak in our house years ago. The gas company said to grab what you need and get out! So my husband grabbed the children, and ran to the car. I got into the car with..my blankets, my fig tree and nail polish!?!?!

That is really funny.
Now, just be happy you're not a guy who always sleeps in the buff and gets wakened by his car being broken into and snatches his gun and goes straight to dealing with the problem, from the second floor balcony.

Set the scene, how cold was it?!
