Things I Learned While I Was Sick
It is possible to sleep while sitting up on the toilet. Just don’t roll over.
My train of thought has no track, and the engine is in need of detailing.
Dishes multiply in the kitchen sink when no one is watching them.
The new roll of toilet paper is always one inch further away than my arm is long.
Toothpaste and cortisone cream are not interchangeable.
The remote control to the ceiling fan will not operate the television.

Well, I just hope this means you’re better now, after learning these lessons. If I had to choose, I’d say mixing up the toothpaste and cortisone is the worse.
Capsun, but my bug bites smell minty fresh!
We have a load of remotes in a box next to the sofa. It is always interesting to see which one we have and will it work what we would like it to. We do not have a remote for the fan in the family room, but do have one upstairs. It is sort of a luxury.
Amber — if we didn’t have remote controls to our ceiling fans, they would be nothing more than ceiling decorations. These remotes are necessary if we want the little fan blades to go round in circles. However, they are of little use when trying to change the volume on the TV.

Well get up before you hurt yourself!
No it’s too fun down here by myself
Well, don’t blame me when you get swept under the rug!
Is it impolite if I’m currently laughing?
Jeff — well, since that’s what I wanted you to do, no.
Oh, you poor thing. That cortisone cream/toothpaste mix up sounds bad. It reminds me of a story my parents tell about when my dad put Ben Gay on my diaper rash instead of Desitin. I’m told that I screamed bloody murder, and my poor dad felt horrible. My mom still hasn’t forgiven him for that.
I hope you are fully recovered very soon. Long toilet sitting can be exhausting.
I am getting better, JD, thanx. At least you’ve forgiven your dad.
Wellllllllllll… I’ve definitely learned that first one for myself! And the 2nd one is just a way of life for some of us…. dishes ARE like bunnies… and they really don’t even care if you watch! I bet your gums didn’t itch for awhile!
Actually, Melli, I dabbed the toothpaste on my mosquito bite. It still itched, but when I scratched it smelled minty fresh!
You fell asleep whilst on the terlet…

TMI. …
Sauerkraut — did I say that? I think I did not say I learned it from ME.
Sorry you have been sick. I didn’t know fans had remote controls. How very cool. Wish I had a remote for mine. I find dishes multiply in my sink even when I’m not sick, but then you are probably much more tidy and efficient than I am. I believe you about cortisone and toothpaste, though I have never put it to the test. The other three I find again to be a general rule even when I’m not sick. Hope you are feeling better.
Raven — without a remote we can’t reach our fans. They are on the ceiling.
That’s something I never tried, sleeping on the toilet, all the other things could happen to me too even without being sick, lol !
Gattina — I do plenty of odd things when I am well, too!
I’ve known how you feel. Although I’ve never tried the last one.
Wee, trust me, Tony. Had you tried it, it wouldn’t have worked.
Well my Dad always used to tell me “Experience is the Best Teacher”
What did we learn Miss Quilly?
Glad you are feeling better.
Thank you, Bill.
LOL. It’s great to see that you didn’t lose your sense of humor while you were sick. I’m glad that you are better now. I so agree to you and Melli. Those dishes seem to multiply themselves in such a short time

Yes — and you’re correct – -they do it even when I’m well! Who would have thought!
I’ve replicated your cortisone cream/toothpaste experiment. It’s hard to say “I’m an idiot” five times fast with disgusting grease in your mouth, isn’t it?
Doug — uhm, I put the toothpaste on my bug bites, not my toothbrush — and I’m perfectly happy to have done it my way, thanks.
My remote control does both the ceiling fan and the tv. And a lot of other cool stuff too.
Mmmm. Scratch and sniff bug bites. What a cool idea!!

Lisa, does it do dishes? If it does dishes, I want one.
In theory, it could start the dishwasher. But you’d still have to load the dirty dishes in, so it would be kind of pointless.

Dishwasher? At my house they are called “hands” and I’m just as content NOT to have them operated by remote control, thank you.
Dishes are worse than rabbits.
I hope you are back to your usual form soon.

Nessa – -today we are playing, “I feel good! Da da da da da ta da!”
I’ve definitely learned the dishes thing the hard way. It’s especially frustrating when someone else tells you take it easy and they’ll take care of them-and then disappear.

SN — nobody promised to do mine. I( just kept getting a clean glass everytime I wanted something to drink.
These are things I have learned at times too. The toothpaste and cortisone cream one is still making me wince.
Get well soon.
Thumbelina’s last blog post..It was faaaaaaabulous dahling
Thumbelina — but my bug bites smell ever so minty fresh!
Glad you’re feeling better! And I’m glad the toothpaste mix up was the way you did it and not the other way around.
I have dozed off on the toilet before — and jerked awake as I almost fell off.
