Oh dear! I've been kidnapped by the other side of the forum for days, and can't seem to find where I was in here! Can anybody tell me what has happened?

Has everyone seen the news? Not starting anything political, but both President Trump and Melania have tested positive for covid, and are going into quarantine.

What a confusing, messed up world we're living in now.

I'm so glad I can stop by here and hide out for a bit!
I'm listening to music and cooking vege soup. It's fall and cool. We need a good homemade soup with pizza ? wanted to be here sooner though.

Well played, i think not getting minuses was key to your success.
Your alliteration was fun and most enjoyable whilst it lasted.

Cool! I won something! ? ? ? ?

Now I want to know about this medal...it's a Bronze medal from the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Is there a story here? Or a photo from the internet?

In my life I've only ever had severe vertigo once. My husband and I were in our truck at the time. I woke up in the morning with the world spinning (very fast, I might add), and I couldn't stand without desperately hanging on to something. My head was pounding, and I really thought I might die. It was awful!

I felt like it was punishment for my sins...nauseated, heaving.. gonna die in a parking lot!

Poor Pete! He was a mess! He felt fine. What to do with me? So he put me in the truck and took me to an urgent care that was near by. They didn't know what was wrong, even though I told them I was dying, but they gave me a bottle of pills for vertigo, which helped tremendously.

When everything finally stopped spinning, I realized that it wasn't punishment. It was my just reward for doing something so incredibly stupid!! I kicked myself in the butt for being so careless...

Anybody want to guess what I had done?? ????
Two litres of lighter fluid?

You guys must think I'm some kind of lush! ? Actually, I don't drink.

Anyway...we had our two dogs with us in our truck, a little yorkie-poo, and a cocker spaniel. The evening before I had sprayed them with flea spray. I sprayed them outside the truck, but lifted them up and in right after.

You know how dogs rub themselves after a bath? Well, they both jumped onto the bed and rubbed all over, including my pillow. That night I slept on that pillow, and inhaled the spray residue. I had poisoned myself with a powerful neurotoxin!
Incredibly stupid ??

Thank god you are ok!
only spray the dogs when.... when ...?
They are to stay outside in your back yard?
I don’t have a dog so I don’t know..
To be honest.... I would have done the same thing..
who would have thought they would rub it all over the pillows?????
