For Heaven's Sake...Learn to Laugh at Yourself!!

[Overcomer]

Hi Iz:  Just a few weeks ago my daughter and I were going to her tutoring appointment.  They had a ramp with a bar going up to the door.  I tripped up the curb and went airborn.  I knew if I landed on the concrete I would hurt myself so I grabbede the bar and flipped over it.

Imagine.  A 5' 10"    220 pound   48 year old woman flying through the air and wrapping herself around a pole..................then my autistic daughter and I cracked up uncontrollably as we crashed into the tutoring center.  I was so embarrassed I was trying to explain what I did to the receptionist and was laughing and crying.

SO EMBARRASSING!

OK, this story is really about my daughter -

I said previously, that I detest being in crowded shops with all kinds of negative people, yelling kiddos, and just overall mayhem, right?

So... Hol & I are Christmas shopping, in JC Penney. Just bought a couple of big fluffy pillows when someone turned up the nasty, loud, obnoxious button to a degree that made me start to shake. She noticed - and picking out the meanest, rudest nastiest person - she flings the pillows on the floor - herself on top and slides right into him - WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Then, she got up, picked up the pillows and ran for the door saying in her voice that carries over any noise (too much mosh-pit experience): Merry Christmas, to all... Assholes! and then out the door.

I was soooooooooo embarrassed, but I was also laughing so hard I could barely see the door for the tears! No one knew she was with me or that she covered my discomfort and even made it go away....

Granted - she herself could be considered "out of order" and these days - I'm surprised they didn't hold her for assault. But it sure had an effect on everyone who saw/heard her - I wasn't the only one laughing myself silly and the previous tension was completely gone. We describe this daughter as "a force of nature".

OMG, OC
You so could have been hurt, but I can see that picture and hear the uncontrollable laughter afterward!  YAY! for the slapstick!
and PR
What a child! A real force of nature, and she cures your shakes with humour!

and changing

Okay. Your filing of the original receipts and can you trust without copies? Well, let's file first. Depending on the numbers, sizes of receipts, use envelopes, or folders? with enclosed date range on the outside. File by month or ½ year or year? Depending on receipts, # of same.
When that is done, make a list of what is enclosed

For copies, we have outlets here that do printing and copying and can do this while not messing up your arrrangement or your containers. Anyway you have the list to put back in order. (Sometimes time is money.)

If you need totals, you can totals the lists, as opposed to flipping the flippin' receipts.

Tell me if that is a better handle, or what is amiss and I will see if I have any other  (bright ideas~

Love
Izzy

Oh these stories are so funny... PR I can't stop laughing......

Another one is when I was going into the supermarket in the summer wearing my shorts and flip flops... mis judged the curb, stepped up, turned my ankle..first I looked like I was break dancing trying to stay up,made a really dramatic fall, with roll overs, and a long , auuuuuuuuuuughhhh... while trying to look around to see if anyone seen this... almost got away with it.. until I landed on my keys and set my car alarm off... the panic button... and there I was.....with cut knees, dirt, and my pony tail sideways.. I did one of those jump up's I'm alright, I'm fine and tried to make a really fast escape and walked into the out door..  embarrassing..
