this isnt about me, this is about
Jolynne2inok

This is the story:

'MYLEGS' and I chat a lot online...the mention of "WHITE HOT PANTS" came up , and I mentioned to Don that it just so happened I was wearing my short white shorts. Being the 'nice guy' that he is, he asked nicely if he could see me on cam in those certain pair of shorts. Having him as a decent friend for so long I agreed to turn my webcam on. I backed up from the cam until I would hope he could see my shorts. Well, he couldn't. So, I was looking around the room for something to stand on that wouldn't be so far from the cam. All that was in the room was the chair I used at the desk--- a rolling office chair!! So I told Don to hold on a sec while I tried to climb on the chair to give him a better shot. I climbed on and had myself pretty sturdy--for a while. Then --having dizziness as an MS symptom-- I started to tumble down...Don got a better shot than I was trying for----YEA!!! THAT'S RIGHT! I TOOK A HEADER OFF THE CHAIR!!! AND GAVE A NICE BUTT SHOT TO DON!! (wonder if he could tell what kind of underwear I had on!! ) I went headfirst off the rolley chair!! And all i could hear was Don yelling "Are you okay? Jod!!! Are you there? are ya okay??!!!" Missing 3 of my nails, I sat back down and rolled up to the desk.... LAUGHING at what DON MIGHTA SEEN!! OMG!! WHAT AN EM-BARE-ASS-ING FALL!!!! We laughed for a good while!!! But, yea, I was fine! I just learned not to use a rolling chair to give cam shots!!! And THAT is why Don always asks if I've "been on any chairs lately?"

Thank you to PAMLEM for sending this one, this is a cute story,
I would not have laughed at you, OK , maybe laughed with you!!! LOL

I went to school at Emerson College in Boston. Being a communication/performance art school we got many visits from famous performers. Victor Borge, the Austrian comedian piano player, came one year to lecture and receive an award. They had moved his lecture to a local church, because they wanted to seat the huge crowd coming to see him. The church was big enough and acoustically made so that sound would boom and echo off the multiple high arches.

Somehow I got seated in the second row, inside aisle seat. I had brought my camera along to get a picture. Mr. Borge lectured and then took questions. I kept looking through the view finder trying to frame the shot I had planned to take when the award was presented. Someone asked if he would play a song. He chose "Nocturne" by Chopin. This song is a beautiful almost lullaby sounding piece.

While he was playing, I knelt in the aisle to get ready to take a picture during the applause ending his playing. My finger slipped and hit the shutter button. Normally this would not have been a big deal, but I owned a One Step.........Have you heard the noise it makes taking a picture?....Now add a beautiful piano melody......and a very acoustic echo-y church. The whole audience heard the picture and started laughing.....Mr Borge kept playing but looked right down at me (I was only about 20 feet from him) and the look on his face said " I can't believe you did that.", which made them laugh even harder. My friend, next to me, patted me on the back and said, "Nice one Pam." In fact multiple people stopped me to tell me what a "good job" I did.

But I have chutzpa. I asked him to sign the photo after. I got another look from him......but he signed the picture.

PULLING WEEDS (GARDENGIRL)

Ok, maybe this isn’t a hallmark embarrassing moment, but I think it can still count!
First its embarrassing because the first part of my story the neighbors I’m sure had a great laugh, and the second part of my story even though no one saw, I’m sharing it with you, and it could count as embarrassing , at least for anyone who doesn’t understand, which I think most of us will!

So, one afternoon I’m out pulling weeds. My front yard goes uphill, and I managed to get up there, and didn’t think about the getting back down part beforehand. So as a lot of us know, pulling weeds can be kinda sorta hard on ya, leaning over, feeling it in your back, arms tired, hurting the next day etc,, but I knew that part was gonna be, but it hadda be done. So after bout an hour and ½ I thought enough is enough. So I knew the hard part would be getting my ass off the ground. But for some reason this day was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I got one leg up, tried to get other up and then hoist my ass up, back down I go. Over and over, for about 5 mins, I tried every conceivable way to get up, falling each time. Ifffffffff I would have had presence of mind, I could have taken my w/c up with me to climb up on and use as a walker, but noooooo. I finally manage to get back up, but I cannot stand up. I’m thinking how the hell am I going to ever get back down this hill, and as I look down I think I cant attempt it because there are tree roots that do come up , the yard is not flat, not a good idea. So if I can walk across the yard to the drive and then down, that will work! I take a few steps, I’m walking like something out of Planet of the Apes, I get only bout ½ way across my yard and I cant do it. I hafta let myself fall back down in the grass.

Now I don’t know about you, but when the moment hits me I hafta pee, I really hafta pee. I’m sittin there thinking omg great timing. What am I gonna do I cant walk, im gonna piss my pants. I thought I gotta get up, forget bout getting to drive and down, go down the rest of the hill, over the tree roots and get to the house quick! I barely make it to front porch, fall into the porch supports, and think ok just to the door,,, I get to the door, falll into the front door, I cant walk so I crawl to the bathroom, thinking I can do this I can do this,,,, I finally get there, get up enough to try to get my pants down, and I cant stand long enough to do that , I fall down on the toilet, and I think great, now I get this far, I’m gonna piss my pants ON the toilet, with my pants UP,,, by this time, I’m reaaaaaally angry, with all that is in me, I stand up juuuusssst enough to get my pants down, and fall back down on the toilet, I don’t know howww in the world I ever did it , but IIIII made it. TELL ME IM GOOD !

HAHAHAHAH

That’s it for now I’ll see what REAL embarrassing moment I can come up with next.

.....the Shower Curtain!! (DONNA PETIT)

Before I begin with the misadventures of Donna, you must understand two things.
The first is that my daughter was probably around 16 (supreme diva) at the time and two,
my balance really sucks.

Now, to begin my day I took a shower. As everyone with MS knows, the shower can be the most exhausting event of the day. Once I had soaped up I began to shampoo.
Just as the shampoo was nice and sudsy in my hair I lost my balance.
I knew enough to aim my fall and fell out of the tub. Falling can be spectacular enough; however, this time I brought the shower curtain and rod with me. Picture this...I'm completely naked, lying on the floor with soap in my eyes and I couldn't get up. The vinyl curtain was sticking to my body and the cotton part was slipping every time I tried to get up.
I'm blinded by the soap and totally pissed off!

I call out for help. My daughter, Macey, comes to the rescue. Now, being 16
she was completely mortified that I was naked, beaver shots for everyone!
Then as I'm trying to get up and asking her to help me, I realize that she's laughing so hard there are tears running down her face. It was hopeless, I gave up trying.
She gave me a towel to wipe my eyes and then we just laughed and laughed.

Refining my sense of humor has gotten me through all the bad stuff about MS.
