I've pretty well resigned to not putting my foot to the pedal without putting on the glasses (just hate ripping out stiches) but I had to share my aha moment. Last night I rummaged through my stash drawer of samples and gift/withs for a new night cream, found something, opened it and put it on my face. Thought, self, I wouldn't spend money on this one, doesn't pass the smell or feel test. When I got up this morning I put on those readers to make sure to note what I used and lo and behold, it was a deep hair conditioner! Guess I'd better buy another pair of those readers for the bathroom!

craftybear 06-14-2010 09:41 PM

oh no, be careful! and please get you another pair of readers for the bathroom, take care

mrspete 06-14-2010 09:55 PM

snicker/same here, heel balm used instead of night cream. Guess the callouses on my face didn't mind!

Know the feeling...used "body gloss" (you know the stuff with little bits of sparkle) instead of facial moisturiser one morning....looked like something off Star Trek, once that wedges in the wrinkles it's a devil to get off!

mrspete 06-14-2010 10:45 PM

hurriedly I grabbed the hairspray instead of the underarm deodrant.......back in the day we used spray

I will not, I repeat, I will not cook without my readers!

cashmommy11 06-15-2010 02:14 AM

I bet your face is very smooth this morning.

dsb38327 06-15-2010 04:14 AM

Are you going to market your new facial creme idea? LOL. Candid camera moment. Thanks for sharing./Regards, Dorothy

I have readers glasses everywhere! Sewing room, bathroom, office, purse. My old pair of regular bifocal glasses close at hand in the house AND I now wear Contacts!
No mistakes yet...
Hate not being able to read like I used to.

lol, thanks for the chuckle ;-)

grammyp 06-15-2010 05:45 AM

Well, did it work?

amandasgramma 06-15-2010 06:44 AM

Yes, inquiring minds want to know -- will hair conditioner make my deep pores disappear??????????

littlehud 06-15-2010 07:10 AM

I am falling off my chair here. This is such a funny thread.

baskets4moo 06-15-2010 08:18 AM

Come to think of it my face did feel nice and smooth :lol:
better go check my pores......

amma 06-15-2010 10:35 AM

LMBO I have done things like this a few times, but couldn't blame it on not having my readers :roll: :lol::lol:

Glad to hear your skin is soft and smooth!!! :D:D:D

ctquilter 06-15-2010 10:53 AM

I topped my pumpkin bread with cooked sausage instead of the streussel topping sitting next to the sausage in the fridge. Love sausage, love pumpkin bread just not together.

granny_59 06-15-2010 11:26 AM

glad your skin is doing well.................lol

I poured myself a coffee and went to the fridge for the milk. Poured milk, brought it back to the fridge, sat at the table and took a sip of coffee: boaaahhhh, it was black!?
Next to the newspaper the ashtray was filled with milk.......

Joanie2 06-15-2010 11:53 AM

I know the feeling. I not only have readers in every room but I wear a pair tucked into my blouse so I always have them on hand. Only problem is that I forget I have them tucked in and so I go into another room looking for another pair. And how many times have they been in the room and you can't figure out where they are. Or they are on your head and you don't realize it.

oksewglad 06-15-2010 12:53 PM

Thanks for the laugh!!

I think we all do the same stuff, I've misplaced the regular glasses, and will walk around squinting at table
tops, b-room sinks.... can't even go anywhere to find a
new pair, Thank Goodness for being enough of a pack-rat to keep up with the old pair.:)

Sandy1951 06-15-2010 10:32 PM

:lol: :lol: :lol: I'm not sure what my excuse was when I put Desitin (diaper rash ointment) on my toothbrush instead of toothpaste. Gosh, it was hard to get out!

sharon b 06-15-2010 10:40 PM

LOL Yep .. been there done that :oops:

HIBISCUS 06-16-2010 06:48 AM

*SIGH* I have worn bifocals since age 22 until I had to go to trifocals at 50-something. I don't have an option of looking, its the first thing I put on even before my feet hit the floor. Otherwise, I might miss it!

AnneT 06-16-2010 10:11 AM

I am falling off my chair, too, but with tears in my eyes and an aching belly from all the laughter. Nothing better than a good laugh and giggle! Thanks for telling us! Your stories are hilarious :)

Camiyamoto 06-16-2010 01:44 PM

I stopped sewing for several years...couldn't see to thread the needles! But bifocals have made all things possible...except sometimes walking down stairs is a challenge!

angieh1964 06-16-2010 01:47 PM

my kids laugh at me all the time cuz i have to wear 2 pairs my regular glasses and readers to see stuff close need bifocals just hate to fork out the money

Try having two on your head without knowing it. And then wanting to know where your readers are.

ohh thats really bad!

susanlh 06-16-2010 04:18 PM

Thanks ladies for the best laugh of my day. I am at work and a co-worker is looking at me like I'm nuts because I find this thread hysterical. She doesn't get it. Young thing that she is. Susan

atty2003 06-16-2010 05:06 PM

I brushed my teeth with PreparationH once. Puckered all day.

kwiltkrazy 06-16-2010 08:10 PM

....when you put prep H on your toothbrush.

QuickStitch 06-16-2010 08:24 PM

ROTFLMAO- I just make sure I have my glasses on before I use anything, and now I know why. That is just to funny!! :-D :-D :-D

Pins n' Ndls 06-16-2010 08:25 PM

Going to bed now but don't know if I can sleep after laughing so hard....as far as readers go , I keep a pair of disabled glasses in the kitchen ( they have no "arms" ) and use them to read recipes. It beats putting the arms over my ears and also my hands can be sticky . easy to hold up , look thru and put back down again until needed to read the next ingredient.

wickn34 06-17-2010 06:03 AM

One day I was going to a new job, and I had gotten up early. I was ready to leave and grabbed the hair spray. It was bug spray. Had to take a shower, shampoo hair, and get redressed and drive 35 miles. I was on time--but not early.

C.Cal Quilt Girl 06-17-2010 11:12 AM

OR... Driving 1 eye'd to get'em fixed cause a lens poped out.
:lol: :roll: :oops:
