Down here, regardless of season, if you ask for tea it is automatically assumed you mean iced tea. You must ask for hot tea. I bet there is also half a pound of sugar in it. Actually in resturants they ask if you want sweet or unsweeten. It's not etched in stone that it has to be sweetened. I drink mine unsweetened and yep you do have to ask for hot tea as opposed to iced tea How else are they gonna know which one you want?? (in reply to Tennesseer) Just saving space by replying to more than one post - I'm lazy that way!!!!

They ask here too if sweet or unsweet & then just go ahead & give me sweet tea anyway. Restaurants are pretty good about it but drive thrus are terrible. I now taste it before pulling away just to be sure.

I have, on several occasions, looked at my computer screen and wondered why no numbers are showing up and then I realize, that I've been hitting numbers on my calculator.

Easy question. I am -6.00 R and -6.5 L, and about how stupid...little harder. I left well paying job to become a produce seller. It should give you an instant idea.

Because if the ice melts, you have colored water that isn't sweet anymore. If you make it strong and very sweet the ice melting makes it just right. Tennesseer I think I answered your question/comment more than hers

Oh, and if you're gonna hang around in my head, you have to SHARE the vodka.

Over ice with a splash of tonic.

I serve very strong drinks! They seem to have less & less tonic as the night goes on, but more ice melt so I figure it all evens out

I made a cup of tea yesterday. I let the boiling hot water cool for 10 minutes or so. Once cooled enough, I went to sip it and discovered I had not filled the cup with any water. Enjoyment delayed is enjoyment denied. I constantly am forgetting to push the button on the washer or dryer. I will be in my laundry groove only to find that I can't put the next load in because I forgot. I come back all mad that I have now added an hour to my laundry time and one of the girls says "You forgot to push the button, didn't you?" Doh!

Been there-done that and have been late because I either needed something clean I put in the washer or put in the dryer that I didn't turn on.

DH is having way too much fun reminding me of stupid shit I do. I found this really cute Bomber Jacket and ordered it in 2 sizes and kept the one that fit best. Then about 3 weeks later they were on sale buy 2 for the price of one. I was so excited I rushed and bought them one in black and one in brown. They come in and when I tried them on they are too small! I told DH that that is why they were on sale. They were miss sized/marked Of course they are out of them by now so I had to return them because they didn't fit as well as the one I kept. DH looks at the one I have in my closet and said "Why did you order them in Small? Yours is a Med!" and then cracks up. Then he said that reminded him of this past Halloween when I was wearing a Pirate costume with a hat that had a feather and I added this really cute buckle/frilly thing to it. My friend's son picked me up and swung me around and my hat fell off. After he set me down I just plunked the hat back on. While looking at the pictures that we had DH started laughing. I had put my hat on backwards and wore it that way the rest of the night and nobody noticed or ever said a word. These stories fall in the "blind" category, right?!

ETA: Peace Of Mind should probably edit the original thread to: How stupid/blind or drunk are/were you?
BTW Over the half-way hump POM for having a "clean" January with no alcohol or sugar. Probably couldn't have done it if I had joined DH for the week at the cabin with the MIL. Thank you Nikki cat!

Thought of this thread today when DH caught himself from putting toothpaste on his nose instead of sunscreen!
