Nevadans?

[Peep_Show]

Okay, Sunny.... We don't want you to be embarrassed all by yourself...

A decade or so ago a nice side effect of my divorce was that I lost a whole lot of weight...so much so that I was able to fit into clothes that I had had in storage for awhile. So I donned a nice work outfit and went off to report a depo. The table was set up that I was sitting on one side of the conference table with the questioning attorney (female) and on the other side of the table were the witness and his attorney. The depo is going along and I stand up to grab the exhibit to mark it and the elastic in my half slip just disintegrated and my lingerie slid down to the floor into a big nylon puddle down around my ankles. I sidestepped out of it and quickly kicked it under the table, but not before the attorney at my side was reduced to hysterics. To her credit, at least she didn't share with the others what she found so funny.

I'm sure given some reflection I can come up with a few others, but I think unintentionally undressing at work provided my most memorable *blush* moment.

Lol a few come to mind, but making them appropriate for the board would take some very important details out of the stories!

Hey Lacy Blues, do I need to worry about Paella's neck? (My splash andalusian.) Her comb covers one eye and watches everything out of the other, which makes her twist her neck all skewey. I don't know what I'd do about it, though. Prop the comb up with toothpicks and shellac it?

Oh my! No, I don't think toothpicks and shellac will work.

I had one girl a few years back who's comb got so big it covered an eye, but only after another hen bit part of her comb off and caused it to be unbalanced. Before this, her comb was big but it didn't cover her eye (poor thing). I know nobody is going to like this but it was a necessity and the only time I have done it... but I trimmed her comb. It was still quite large when I finished and she could see. It was a very temporary pain and no, she wasn't screaming or anything like that. Cold weather is the best time to do it as they bleed less.

If you decide to go ahead and do this and want me to do it for you, I'll be coming through Reno on the 25th on my way to Stockton. I can stop by and help out. Or if you know any of the people who show at the Reno show and who have Old English that have to be dubbed, I'd contact one of them if they are familiar with this practice. Only tell them you don't want her comb completely removed like an Old English's comb needs to be. On my girl, I cut it so that when I was done, it still had points on it (or rather I made points on it) and it looked almost completely natural.

So, let me know what you want to do. I'll be glad to help if you need me.

I have to think about it for a while, Sunny.....my day is laden with embarrassment so i have to think real hard, but im sure i have got one or two really good ones

Oh good! Cause otherwise this will be my new most embarrassing moment.

You two are both cracking me up!

LOL! Remember wrap-around skirts from the 80s? Hoo boy! I was attending a convention with about 1,200 people in this large hall when I had one give way on me. Luckily I caught it before it fell all the way to the floor, and I did have a slip on, but BOY was that still an embarrassing run to the bathroom where I hid til a friend could locate some safety pins! I was a skinny rail in those days so it's a miracle I was fast enough to catch it at all. It was still half way down with one corner of the skirt dragging the carpet.

A friend of mine can top that story though. She was walking down a busy street in downtown Redwood City when a gust of wind took her wrap around skirt right off! No slip either. She said she wouldn't have been so mortified if she hadn't weighed over 300 lbs at the time. She was passing right in front of a construction crew and she complained that not one of the construction workers said a thing! Back in that day almost no woman could walk by a construction crew without getting hooted and hollered at for doing nothing.

You two are both cracking me up!

haha I'd ask you for your's but I think we might have heard it already. Although you most likely were hurting too much to worry about being embarrassed when you fell through the roof.

...I know nobody is going to like this but it was a necessity and the only time I have done it... but I trimmed her comb...

It doesn't bother me. Especially when it's done for the benefit of the bird.

You're going to the Stockton show too? We want to go so badly but it may be tough as long as these super cold temps keep up. All the waterers (even the huge barrels) are freezing solid now. Except for yesterday and today we haven't been above freezing at all during the day which means I need to refresh the dog's & bird's water often. My Dad will be here but he cannot haul water up and down the hill so we may have to miss it again. I want to go!!! I wish this cold snap would ease up.

Hi catherinemary! Welcome to the Nevada thread!

There are a few folks from your area on here. I'll add you to the member page now.

I live in Gardnerville!

Hi eggxelent! Are you the one I missed adding to the member pages during the holiday rush? I'm pretty sure you posted then. Anyway I've added you now!

Ok Sunny I've had so many I needed to think.

When my kids were small I had a few hours between shifts and ran to the mall to grab some things at Woolworth (man I miss those!.) I was looking through the womens things and I here the kids screaming and yelling fo rme under a big round rack and reached down yelling and grabbed a foot. Pulled the kid out and she starts screaming!!! I'm barely looking and just say, "Knock it off and behave." Then I look down at a face that doesn't belong to me. Then it hit me, I didn't have the kids with me. I recoiled and the mom is running up glaring at me and the little girl is still sreaming and then her brother climbs out and screams. I just looked at her and said "I'm so sorry. I heard MOM and grabbed a foot. It sounded like my daughter and I just reacted. Then I remembered I hadn't even brought my kids." By then there was probably 30 peole standing there laughing and some admitted to doing the same thing. The mom laughed and said she had done it at the grocery store the week before.

 

[SunnyDawn]

I did! Twice! Didn't recognize me without a glass of wine in my hand? ;D
Honestly, I was thinking about this and couldn't come up with anything and then realized I'm just use to embarrassing myself daily!
Although I did ask a girl that worked next door to my store, when her baby was due....she wasn't pregnant! In my defense, she was thin but had this growing bump. We all swore she was about 5 months along! Of course, only I said it out loud.

Haha! My daughter told me about when an older gentleman, that was the captain of a small fishing boat they were boarding, congratulated her on her pregnancy. She told him, no, she was not pregnant and he insisted she was. She got so mad at him that she stormed off the dock with her boyfriend having no choice but to follow her. A week later she found out she was over 6 months pregnant! She felt so bad for her reaction to that old fisherman.
