Is is okay to say I laughed so hard my face hurts? Your wicked sense of humor is just too much! I ache for you though because I, too, have been in serious accident (back when I had eyesight) and had to be cut out with the Jaws of Life. My left hand somehow made it through the airbags and hit the window. When I came to consciousness, my hand was purple. I took a blow to the chest, too, and had my best Victoria's Secret bra cut off in the ER. Fifty smackers down the tube along with my Saab. (And filled with the white stuff from the airbags you mentioned in your post.) Talk about threes! Some good came out of it though. My son's college graduation was two days later and I had lived to see it. Praise the Lord. When he walked across the stage to receive his diploma, draped in cords, I forgot about my pains.
A memorable read, Rachelle. I will never forget this post. Forgive my lack of a six today. A high five with compliments.
Sending you my best today as always.

A great review like this needs no extra star to be considered wonderful. Thank you, Sally!
I'm so sorry to read about YOUR accident, though! Oy. (I loved the side comment about the $50 Victoria's Secret bra. Like the accident wasn't bad enough, right? Your expensive BRA was ruined, too? Now THAT's awful!!) [Here's a side note of my own: I was in VS one time when a brown mouse of a woman exited a dressing room with a Miracle Bra in her hand. She gave it back to the clerk and said, "It wasn't the miracle I'd hoped for." HAHAHAHAHA. That memory is, easily, 35 years old, yet it still brings me a laugh every time I recall it.]
Anyway, I'm glad you lived to see your son graduate, and I'm certainly sure he is, as well.
Thanks for the delightful review. xo

My pleasure to read you today. Honestly, I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. Uesp, they literally cut the bra off of me in the front. It was the miracle I had hoped for. Hahahaha! Now I won't be able to get that image either. I get by with a little help from my friends! So true! Have a blessed day!

Comment from GWHARGIS
CLOWN CAR BARBIE!! Now that is what sets you apart from other writers. I could honestly picture each Barbie, pretty, pink and perky. Then came clown car Babs. This was hysterical. I love these fly on the wall pieces. It's great that you can find humor in life. So many people can't. Sorry I don't have a six. Glad you're okay. Gretchen

Hahaha. When I wrote that, I honestly thought to myself, "Omg; Gretchen is going to LOVE this part!" Thanks for validating my guess.
These people who can't see humor when life tanks are the ones who suffer way worse and for much longer periods of time. Myself, I look skyward and say, "I see what you did there. Hardy freakin har, G-d."
Thanks for another signature fabulous review. I always love what you write. xo
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Wow Rachelle! I'm going to have to keep reading and re-reading this to take it all in! And even if I had a 6* left I wouldn't be able to do it on this post. But this is incredibly funny - what a skill you have here (as if I didn't already know). Have you ever thought of being a stand-up comic? You'd have everyone in stitches. It's so endlessly witty and self-deprecating - and any reader would just want to read more. You should be getting exceptional for this... And congrats on your 200 post milestone! Love Debbie

Comment from Wayne Fowler
My, my, my
Goodness gracious Gracie
Galloping Galapogus goats! (not sure about the sp on Galapogus)
I caught my dad cheating once when he was repeating his mother's triple truism. What would have been #4 (the death being on the heels of death #3), he called #1, looking for 2 more evils to come.
Never solved the poison issue? I was blistered from a hotel sheet- a $150/night hotel, not Motel6.
Bets to ya.
(Oh, I woulda done the same at that red light.)

Motel Six probably uses the serious bleach; the fancy schmancy place you chose probably uses something way too environmentally friendly. Lesson learned!!
Thanks for a fun review. xo

"Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it." -Bill Cosby
Seems you know this adage, and accomplished it with this submission. What a travail!

I think Bill Cosby needed that advice way more, though!! Thanks for the nice review.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What an unlucky Barbie you are! I hope you got compensation for all that pain you went through. I was hit whilst waiting behind another car for the traffic lights to change green. I was shunted by a maniac 'male' (women watch where they are going) driver hard into the car in front and my car was a right off and so was I for a long time. I received £25000 compensation. Sounds lovely, but I'm a semi-invalid now. Your car, Sparkle' sounds lovely! It sounds perfect for you. Funny thing about 3s, Graham and I have been married 33 years this year. :))
Although very painful for you, it was such a funny read for me! Lol. Sorry, Rachelle!! Love and hugs, Sandra xx

No, I'm glad it was a funny read. At least SOMETHING good can come from all my nonsense.
And when people say, "Wow! You're so lucky to have gotten that kind of settlement" when referencing a car crash, they don't factor in the serious "pain and suffering" that is also included. I'm really sorry you had to endure that initially...and now, residually.

Oh, and PS! CONGRATS for thirty-three years of matrimony!! That's SERIOUSLY impressive!! xoxo

Well, I included a gif congratulating you on your 200th post with a gif and FS erased everything I wrote before! Hope you have a wonderful trip and I'm so sorry for these awful woes. Let's only count posts and no more bad things that happen! Stay safe, healthy, and humor-filled. And hope your Eclipse kitty shows up!!

Thank you very much for the nice review and your attempted gif!!

I guess the copyright police have altered the code as to what we can do where. Oddly, I can use those gifs in the profile box, just not in the reply/review boxes.

I give up trying to understand it all. It seems to be consistently inconsistent.
Comment from Loretta Bigg
Well that was a lot of fun. I gasped 3x 3x 3x 3. Getting rammed in the back and getting poison ivy in the back is not a coincidence, I think. I had poison oak once so I understand your pain. I am so glad the horror stopped.
