Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Vera, Can I play too? My father is a doctor and he keeps a tooth brush and paste in his private restroom so that he can brush his teeth between patients when his mouth feels yucky. Anyway, one day he went in to brush his teeth, grabbed the toothpaste and started brushing away. Then he notice that the toothbrush would not move. He had used epoxy instead of toothpaste. He said he went running through his waiting room, toothbrush stuck to his teeth into the orthodontist's office next to his... past the receptionist and the patients all the way back to where the doc was. He kicked the poor kid that was getting her braces checked out of the chair. Sat down and started talking as best someone can with an epoxy toothbrush in their mouth. Doc Guidry had tears running down his face he was laughing so hard. He finally freed my father from the terrible toothbrush and has never let him live it down. Hugs, Deborah aka Tenacity Belinda: I bet I can get you to laugh again. Well it's funny but it's not and I guess most of the caregiver's out there who haven't had much sleep may understand it and not think it was funny or may of done something kind of like it . Anyway went into brush my teeth last night. Got out my tooth brush, toothpaste and was brushing away. Started thinking this toothpaste must be getting old because it taste awful ( a small sample we've had for awhile) anyway ended up washing my mouth out because of the taste. Then I looked at the toothpaste I used. Wrong it wasn't toothpaste, it was cortaid someone put in where I have my toothbrush and paste. Back of the package said to call the poison control in case of accident ingestion, so I tried to find the number in the phone book, but couldn't find it. So gave up and went to bed. I hadn't really ingested it, and I'm here this morning, so I guess I'm ok. I'm I the only one who can do these things without really trying or are there other's out there to? Only in the life of a caregiver. Hugs Vera ************************** Vera, You are a riot! Thanks for the laughter! love ya, Belinda [unable to display image] _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 Sure Deb you can play too. Your poor father, to have that happen to him with the epoxy and then have to go to the Orthodontist's to take care of it. At least I was able just to wash mine out of my mouth, just had an awful taste for the rest of the day. Is his Orthodontist still rubbing it in?

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Dear Vera: My story is not toothpaste but Hairspray. Years ago when Bob was well he wanted to see a particular movie. I can't even remember what it was. So we could catch the early show I reached in the closet to get the hairspray and sprayed my hair with Lemon Scented Pledge for dusting. I threw a kerchief over my head and off we went to the movie. I could hear a lady a few aisles away say to her husband -this movie is so realistic I can even smell the lemon trees. As I remember the action was taking place in Italy and sort of in a vineyard. Everyone around agreed. I just ducked down and kept quiet but the air was full of the smell of lemon oil. I can't even use the excuse of caregiving as Bob was still well then. Take Care, Pat from Framingham MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Hi Pat: I had to laugh when I read your story of the lemon scented pledge. I guess we've all done something like this at sometime or another. I think I would of sat right next to you in the movies, I just love the smell of lemons. Disneyland has a ride in the new California part that takes you into an orange grove and you can smell the oranges. Thanks for the smile. hugs Vera **************************8 Dear Vera: My story is not toothpaste but Hairspray. Years ago when Bob was well he wanted to see a particular movie.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 Carol: So glad that you didn't hold out on us this story. I think it's good for us to laugh at the funny things that have happen to us. It just goes to show us that there is always a bright side to life, silly as they maybe. Hugs Vera *************************************** Okay, I guess it's time to confess MY story. This one was not my fault, because I was a kid and it was my mother doing the rushing around, but my mother sprayed my hair with Windex. At the time, it came in a aerosol can (before we know about the damage to the ozone layer) that was the same color as the hairspray can. Needless to say THAT hairdo didn't hold up very well!
