Let the good times roll! I love your positive sense of humor and can well understand the 20 question routine. "Getting back in the wheelchair that rolled over you", no matter, you had the blond hair! Keep up the good writing! Nigai

Boy. That would be embarrassing. But i can see how something like this can happen. Thank goodness you did not hurt yourself - at least something besides your pride.
Thanks for sharing your well written experience.

Thank you for your review,
Comment from RebelRose
Why does it seem that things always go wrong when we are in our PJs or other embarrassing predicaments. You let that dog out every day and nothing happens but just get yourself in that sitruation and that's when it happens. Great story. Well written.

Comment from MissMerri
A well-told story indeed! Your predicament was almost funny, almost sad, with neighbors staring and sirens blaring, but you handled it so well. Any time you can go through that sort of thing and still cling to your sense of humor, you know you have not lost your balance... even if you are sprawled out on the porch. You've won my undying admiration.

If this was a true story, it certainly was an embarrassing moment. Your writing is direct and clear to understand. What happened to the dog? Did he stay with your or run off? Your story was entertaining and well done.

Comment from humpwhistle
Some (not I) would say "Serves you right for not being at church on a Sunday morning!" LOL This story would not be nearly as humorous without the hairdye. So how did your hair come out? Funny, embarrassing story. Peace, Lee

Actually, my hair turned out ok even though the dye had been on twice as long as it should have been. Glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks for the review!
Comment from Roberta Joan Jensen
Suggestion: Pick a tense. You keep switching between past and present.
I am laughing at this story, but I am also crying. I know the soul-wrenching frustration of trying to do something you can't, and the need to call for help.
One time, I slid off the shower chair into the bathtub. I had a broken arm, and I was worried I might have broken the other shoulder from hitting it on the chair on my way down. I did not think my daughter, therefore, should try lifting me out. She called 9-1-1 and they sent the fire dept. Four big strong men traipsed into the bathroom with me sitting naked in the tub! Then they had no idea how to get me out. By that time, I knew I hadn't broken my shoulder and was able to tell them what to do. Why did it require four men to get one woman out of a bath tub!

Thank you for reviewing my story. I'll look at the tenses. When I write I get so involved in the story and the little things go unnoticed. Have a good evening-preferably without the fire dept. or paramedics. LOL!
Comment from bowls
Oh, what an incredible story. It must have been SO embarrassing for you! You retell all the details with good humour and wit. I'm so glad it turned out well. Just one thing: In paragraph one you are "laying on my front porch" and in paragraph three you are "laying on the porch". Both of these should be LYING. In the present tense laying means setting something down while lying means reclining. Thanks for a great story.

Wow, I loved your story!! OMG, is this true? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I must admit it made me laugh out loud and I am not one to laugh easily. You did such a great job of conveying this experience in a comedic and detailed way. I felt as I, too, were living this experience. You inspire me to try a different form of writing.
