Hi Dot!
-=> Quoting Dorothy Ferris to Kathy Oganezov <=-
 DF> walking proof that Murphy's  law is alive and well.
 DF> Here are just a few of my many antics.
I am ROTFLMSBO!  And with good reason...you sound like me!
Wedding day:  Day after Christmas 1986.  The courthouse said
they would be open when we called them 12-23 on the phone.  It
was in another state.  Got there, courthouse was closed.  NO
marriage license!  Man at wedding chapel sent us back to that
courthouse but called the deputy court clerk in on her day off,
for which we paid her $10.00 under the table.    We were
married at last!
No wedding dress, flowers, rings, cake or reception.  But I'm
just as married without them as I would have been with them!
Right after repairs on our fence (quite expensive and back-
breaking, too) tornado went through here, twisting large limb
off the tree next door, which fell and knocked over a large
section of the fence.  Had to be done all over.
Two weeks later:  exterminator finds termites in our fence!
While craft shopping:  Car died at 8 am while on my way to
Wal-Mart, at a busy intersection where speed limit is 50 
MPH.  People whizzing by me as I limped on sore foot around
the car to open the hood, and even a Sheriff's dept. car went
by me without stopping.
Police arrived to ask "Need any help?" just after two kind
women had pushed the car through the intersection and into
a parking lot on the other side.  That was 45 minutes after
the car had stalled.  Explanation:  it was coffee break time
for the cops and they were down the road eating donuts and
chatting in the church parking lot.  GRRRRRR!
In tenth grade:  Lost garter belt and hose while crossing a
busy street at a traffic light.  Just so happened to be at
about 4:45 pm, and my dad, riding with a carload of men he
worked with, was sitting waiting for the light to change.
They hollered and hooted at me, and I did what any teenage
girl would have done:  bent over, picked up the hose and 
garter belt, stuffed them in my coat pocket, and kept right
on walking.  All those men are dead now...while even one of
them lived, I never heard the end of that incident!!!  hehehe
 DF> Thank goodness I don't dwell on these mishaps.  If I did I'd never
 DF> leave the house and I'd cancel tomorrow and all future plans.
You and me both, Dot!  You and me both!  hehehe!
LadyBear Hugs,
Wendy
... And on the 8th day God said, "OK Murphy, you're in charge!"
