Guess why my darling daughter is so happy to be holding this 'item'

[Dystopian]

If I get five good guesses, I'll post the answer with a pic:D
Hints:
Our family and a few friends were at the local park last summer.
She didn't need it for the intended purpose, and neither did anyone else.
It was used.
Why?





I wonder if I should send this link to her..
She's threatened to put me in a home more than once...:scared:

The lounge has turned me into a sicko. I was never like this before....

1. Someone spilled a drink in the citronella candle bucket? It would take care of that!

[Dystopian]

5. omg.

I don't get out much...I had to google citronella candle bucket!:blush:
So now that I know what it is...how would that solve the problem:shrug:
We didn't have one...and I would just call it a bug repellant....

Good guess? Good guess:-)
Thanks!

peace~

2. You all were in a boat in the lake, and it sprang a leak....

and "presto", leak plugged long enough to row to shore.

Happens to me all the time...

[Dystopian]

7. There's a lake there...

but we weren't on a boat...:o

I'm glad you carry these in your emergency kit!

Great guess...the voice of experience!
But sorry it happens to you all the time...:rofl:
Thanks!

peace~

[NightWatcher]

3. she encountered the Glen Canyon Dam and had the smallest dynamite stick ever made?

Ed Abbey would be proud

[Dystopian]

11. Very cool...

I hate to admit that I had to google again...I'm learning great stuff here! Who would have known the loungers would be a bunch of intellects! (or perhaps I'm not too smart) This was a cool writing from one of the sites dedicated to Ed Abbey...I hate it when little kids know more than me!:o

"FAMOUS STAR EDWARD ABBEY
Edward Abbey is a writer. He writes about how to blowup dams. The name of one of the books he wrote was called Monkey wrench gang. He wears a black hat with a wrench on it. Ed has a gray elephant beard and he's a tall, skinny man. Ed does not like the highway so he throws beer bottles out the window. Ed does not like t.v. so the took his t.v. outside and took his gun and shot his t.v. and now it's a sculpture in his backyard."
-- grade-school composition by Brady Barnes

I spent a bit of time reading about him...thank you for the knowledge...

Dynamite guess! :hi:

peace~

[NightWatcher]

14. How to Overthrow the System- quote by Abbey

How to Overthrow the System: brew your own beer; kick in your Tee Vee; build your own cabin and piss off the front porch whenever you bloody well feel like it.

I love his quotes and writings

"Anarchism is founded on the observation that since few men are wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule others."

[Dystopian]

17. He was quite the rebel...

I read some of his quotes, and thought the kiddie piece was funny. I couldn't stay on the site long, but have it bookmarked...I'm intrigued by this type of mindset along with the gift of the pen. With more links and other sites...I imagine I'll know quite a bit about him and his work by day's end...

NightWatcher and Abbey...
Out of the blue...never expected this path with such an inane post.
Very cool...thank you.

peace~

29. Edward Abbey

was Hunter S. Thompson's favorite fiction writer.

How's that for a recommendation?

[Dystopian]

43. Wow...

That's awesome...great minds.
I'm starting to think I could get an Nth degree at the DU School of Thought...
Thanks for sharing...live and learn! :7

peace~

[supernova]

4. Fire starter?

You forgot the lighter fluid for the weenie/burger camp fire?

[Dystopian]

12. Hmmm.....

Yes, there were plenty of weenies and burgers...
As the only vegetarian, I got a toasted bun with condiments!
And plenty of junk food....
But they had fire!:D

Yet another fantastic idea!
Thank you for playing! :hi:

peace~

[foxfeet]

6. Umm, go to the home, Hon. They're nice there.

[Dystopian]

13. Oh you, foxfeet!

:spank:

I'm not going! Not willingly, anyway!:P

peace~

[foxfeet]

28. Wait a minute! I posted that?

Those damned nurses have been putting stuff in my applesauce again! :P

[Dystopian]

37. Oh, you thought I didn't know?

Guess you didn't recognize her....
Familiar?:P



:hi:


peace~

[Bucky]

8. Stopped a gunshot victim from bleeding to death?

Tied two together to create novelty nunchuks for her niece's Barbie doll?

[Dystopian]

15. First one is good...

She's a nurse, so that could be a possibility....
Nunchuks?:rofl:
Novelty ones at that!
Good grief!

Thank you...now I don't feel quite so crazy! :crazy:

peace~

[hedgehog]

9. Scared away some obnoxious people of the male variety?

[Dystopian]

16. Didn't scare them away...

But they were quite disgusted!
:rofl:
The more disgusted they became...the more we laughed!

So yes, you got the reaction...
But not the purpose...:o

Good try!:hi:


peace~

[MountainLaurel]

10. Molotov cocktail? n/t

[Dystopian]

19. !

:wow:
She looked so happy and silly in this picture...and after I read 'Molotov cocktail', I saw her face in a different light. Oh, my sweet baby! :cry:
She was hell on wheels when she was growing up...it's that look...omg!


peace~

[LeftyMom]

18. The little pink plus sign means she won't need them for a while?

[Dystopian]

20. lol!

LeftyMom!
:rofl:
I looked back at the picture to find the little pink plus sign! I really need to grasp an entire sentence...
I have to end this now..oh dementia! I don't think those tests were invented when I was young....
And just to show how elated she would have been...here's the proof! I do tend to go a bit camera crazy...



I'm used to being laughed 'with'.....but laughing at myself by myself is the best.
Now everyone can laugh 'with' me...okay, at me.
What a terrible thing to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is.:hi:

peace~

[Dystopian]

21. Okay....I'm done...

My son's 35th birthday party at the park...We had a wonderful time!
I only forgot one thing!




One of the girls said, 'I have this!'
We thought it was great, the guys didn't....but my son was a good sport.
He'll never forget his 35th ...

peace~

[Kali]

22. hahhahahhahaha

that is great!:rofl:

[Dystopian]

25. I thought I was going to die laughing....

Glad you appreciated it! When my grandson grabbed it from my daughter, I couldn't take it! Of course I said, 'need a picture of that!'....

Young people know how to improvise!:D

peace~

[mainegreen]

23. That is so not right

:rofl:

[Dystopian]

26. I know...

:blush:
I have no idea why I even posted this...
My sweet son is such an angel...he's always helping me out, checking in on me...
He came here after work today to change my car battery in this freezing weather..
He's getting a real candle this year!:-)

omg...here I go again...

"That is so not right"

:rofl:

peace~

[Connonym]

44. you are my sick and twisted hero!

that's hilarious

[Dystopian]

50. That is the coolest compliment ever!

:loveya:

Thank you! My work is done here...
I've gone from DU wallflower to attention whore...and even dragged my beautiful grandson into this sordid mess.
Oh life!

:hi:


peace~

[applegrove]

24. Oh my you are a wacky family. And a lateral thinking one.

[Dystopian]

33. Why thank you!

:loveya:

That just sounded so nice!
Funny, we all say we're a crazy family, but never heard it from outside the family...
I can only take that in a nice way...

peace~

[applegrove]

35. I meant it in a nice way. I'm a lateral thinker too though not of late because of the medication

I am on.

[Dystopian]

42. I know you did...

Hence....the :loveya:
The lateral thinking is all we know...and it can be kind of skewed, also.
The wacky family part is what I meant by 'taking in a nice way'...
How could I not? I was just too funny!

I just got off meds....:hug: Hope you're doing okay...

peace~

[applegrove]

54. Yep. I have PTSD. Meds are working fine. I'm working and busy and loving it.

[Dystopian]

60. Happy for you : )

:hug:
I know PTSD, I know where you came from...and am happy that you're doing fine...
Working, busy, loving life...Warms my heart...:hug:


peace~

[applegrove]

61. Thanks.

[HopeHoops]

52. The world's first cake to contract TSS.

[Dystopian]

55. omg!

That's shocking! We all ate it...
Now that was a weird thing to think of! :o


peace~

[Tangerine LaBamba]

27. And she picked it up with bare hands?

Talk to your daughter about that.

Really. She should not have done that.

Oh, yuck....................

[Kali]

32. I do that all the time

:rofl:
not pick up used tampons - post without reading the whole thread:rofl:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

34. Oh, am I being stupid and redundant?

Sorry. I read some of the responses, but they were all playful.

My mistake.

[Dystopian]

39. Mistake....no, no, no...

:hug:
This thread is lunacy....
I've ruined my family name...if we had a name...
I can't believe how long I've been on and off here...
Oh my!
I need sleep...or a Xanax..
You're fine:hug:

:hi:

peace~

[Dystopian]

38. Oh no!

:rofl:

It was from a friend's purse in a wrapper!
She stopped picking up gross things off the ground about two years ago!

peace~

[Tangerine LaBamba]

41. SNORT!!!

Ah, you obviously taught her well.

My older kid quit it around the age of 25.

[Dystopian]

45. She's gonna love that one! Thank you....

She's 37 :-)

My baby is going to be 27 soon...I'm still working on him...guys are so much harder to deal with when it comes to gross things!

I'm a germ freak...I think my kids just rebel...
They scoff and sneer when I tell them I can see germs...:shrug:
So you're doing a great job!

peace~

[Bertha Venation]

30. there was a starving baby, and a bottle of milk, but no nipple -- so

they used it as a wick?

[Dystopian]

46. Ah, Bertha!

A wick it was!
:yourock:
Bizarro reason (yours, not mine ;-)) , but wick and candle...

Wick-ed!

peace~

[texas1928]

31. Because she does not know how to ride a bike...

And the commercials show people riding bikes when they use it?

:shrug:

[Dystopian]

47. I remember those commercials!

:rofl:
What a funny thought! And swimming, too!
Those were the days!
And she does ride a bike...like a maniac!
Actually, I'm the one who can't ride a bike...or swim:blush:
Gee my life is flashing before me on this thread...
:hi:

peace~

[av8rdave]

36. Fourth of July...looks like she's ready to light the fuse!

[Dystopian]

48. Aha!

That's why I changed July to summer in my post...as it actually was in July...
It does look that way!
And she did light it! Upthread somewhere...I'm getting dizzy...:crazy:

:hi:

peace~

[Pierre.Suave]

40. She went through Menopause early

and wont be needing it anymore?

:shrug:

[Dystopian]

49. Too funny....

It would make a great commercial for the joys of menopause!

Oh....love your new name. Now THAT is hilarious!:o
And the photo is somewhere in this thread....I'm seeing double...

:hi:

peace~

[Schema Thing]

51. nose bleed?

[Dystopian]

56. That's actually a great guess!

Our school nurse told us to put sanitary napkins in our emergency medical kits!
That just reminded me...:hi:


peace~

[Flaxbee]

57. that was going to be my guess, too -- or a broken nose, or

some sort of nose issue. It's because of the Sex and the City episode where Steve gets his nose smashed after walking in on Miranda and Robert having sex, and Robert (as a dr.) put the tampon up Steve's nose. An image that will forever stay in my mind.

[Dystopian]

59. : )

I'm amazed with the medical profession...they make good use of these items!
Funny image...ewwww:spray:

I'm grateful that we didn't have a medical emergency that night....
What's a birthday cake with no candle? My daughter only declared a candle emergency, and her friend saved the day!

:7

peace~

[struggle4progress]

53. She had a great craft idea, something like the famous Christmas slippers

http://www.mum.org.nyud.net:8090/slippers.jpg

[Dystopian]

58. Those are lovely!

:rofl:
My feet get cold, so I'd like the bootie version...:-)

Too bad my daughter isn't that crafty...in a craft-like kind of way...

:hi:

peace~

[Redstone]

62. Uh, we actually carried them in our medpacks, in a place and tiime I won't specify.

It was good to have something that could soak up a lot of blood fast. Gauze pads don't do it as well.
