Going on vaction.
Packed my BiPAP, hose, pwr cords, even a bottle of water and the little funnel that comes with the machine, packed my comfortlite2,, get to the hotel,, tired and ready for bed,,but no damn interface for it, it was still attached the the Comfortlite1 sitting on my bed, (AT HOME). DOH!! I always kept my least favorite mask,, (IQ) in the bag, but that was a mistake. I guess I should keep my second fav mask now instead.

Oh well two nights of taking the mask off,, I will be back home tonight.

Oh heck, that's mild compared to some of the stunts I've pulled thru the years!!

I've carefully counted out all my meds for a 5 day stay out of town. And then left them on my car seat when I got to my daughter's and changed to the RV.

Laid my cell phone on the counter so I wouldn't forget to be sure and take it with me - and it was still on the counter when I got home.

Carried my CPAP case out to the car and found I didn't have my laptop when I got to the library.

Life is never boring!

My sister tells this one on herself.
She shopped at the grocery, loaded her groceries in the trunk of the car, and then got in the back seat and closed the door.
She was alone.
She said she was very embarrassed to get out and get in driver's seat, so she pretended to carry something back to the trunk before driving away.

We're kindred spirits. Really.

Had everything I needed, but the hotel had hard wired their equipment into the outlet nearest the bed. Had to get an extension cord to plug in the cpap. Now I keep one right in the carry bag.

Ah, yes!!! Thanks for that reminder. Someone else had suggested keeping a multi-outlet surge bar in their CPAP carrying case for just that reason!!

I do all kinds of stupid things. One of my passions is photography and another is hiking. I've loaded up my pack with gear and headed out only to find out I have all my equipment but the batteries are all dead or dying. Of course that is when you see all kinds of opportunities to photograph and all you can do is kick yourself!

I've got a ton of these. I can almost always blame it on the coffee not kicking in yet if I didn't have a good night's sleep. Just now I almost put something (don't even remember what) in the freezer instead of the cabinet. The unusual part of that isn't the mistake. It's that I've gotten really good at accidentally putting non-perishables in the fridge. Not sure what I was thinking with the freezer! That's just weird.

It could be worse...think if you put deli meat or whatever in the cabinet instead of the fridge? ICK! That's when it goes from weird to being a big <stinky> problem

Yeah, I'm not sure how or why I've never put perishables in the cupboard. Go figure. You may have just planted a seed. If I start doing this, you can expect a bill.

I was taking great pictures all weekend and it never occurred to me that photo counter was not incrementing. Turns out there was no film in the camera![/b]

Oh ya? Top this:

Was presenting on a panel discussion, in front of a live audience, that was being videotaped. I was sitting at the far end of the table. The stage we were on had those stairs that were carved INTO the sideS of the stage rather than extending OUT from the sides of the stage. I pushed my chair back to make some hugely important point (not!) and the back leg of my chair slipped into the stairway cut-out and I went ass-over-teakettle, backwards, tumbling down the stairs, off the stage and landed flat on my back next to the stage.

The room went absolutely silent; you could have heard a fly fart. A colleague of mine was in the front row of the audience and, fortunately, he is also a weight-lifter. He ran up to me, reached down, grabbed me by my shirt and lifted me right up and planted me on my feet.

The whole embarrassing event was over in about 10 seconds but I'll never forget it. I keep waiting for the video to show up on one of those stupid-video's shows.

Gpt tp Atlantic on vacation last year and found that I had left the plastic doohickey that connects the hose to the mask at home (should have left my money at home).
