Here's a thread to share moments in your own life that are relevant to The Facts of Life!

I'll start:

Last week I passed out! Just like that dieting Sue Ann Weaver!

Me:

But I'm okay!

'80sSitcoms · 12-27-2018, 06:29 PM

I'm working with a document at work right now that mentions "ten or 12 atoms"!

OMG what happened?

One time I wore my skates in the house... for about 30 seconds... my mom wasn't happy about that.

Well, I wasn't waiting for a dance with Scott Dunbar!

I was at the doctor's, ready to get my essence "drawn" for lab work---and I get very lightheaded around needles! So it goes in, and I'm looking way away to the side, like I always do, and I waited, and waited, and waited, but nothing! She said she couldn't get anything out of me! LOL! I'm like, "It's in there!" lol! Then she gives up, I'm feeling a bit woozy, and when I put up my other arm for her to try, that was too much, I felt like some Frankenstein-ian experiment---then the blackout started comin' on, and I passed full out! I woke up with "10, 12 girls" hovering over me and holding my legs horizontal and trying to bring me back! LOL!

OMG! Glad you're ok.

Haha no she def wouldn't wanna do that.

Thanks...it happened again this summer!

When I went to get a vaccination somewhere else. Luckily I was already in a recliner for that!

Yeah, turns out lightheadedness with needles, and not eating for about 15 hours or so, and/or really hot weather, doesn't add up well.

HAHA yeah, did you have to fast for that bloodwork?

'80sSitcoms · 12-27-2018, 06:54 PM

Yup!* And did you see post #2 here?

*(I'm going to go back first thing in the morning next time!)

RetroGuy2000 · 12-27-2018, 08:10 PM

Sorry to hear that you passed out, '80s! Glad it wasn't because you were starving yourself for a boy!

Next time, be sure to eat 10, 12 cinnamon buns before your appointment.

Well, they won't allow that 12 hours beforehand, but I may just be more than happy to immediately afterward!

(Not actual medical advice. Consult your physician before consuming 10, 12 cinnamon buns. Side effects may include fainting, dilated eyes, excessive preening, fake illnesses, and posing woodenly for cameras while holding aforementioned cinnamon buns.)

Oh! And last week on a job assignment, I interacted with a:

get this:

"Dr. Parker"!

I even got to say his name! Twice! I totally felt like I was in a 1980 season 1 episode!

RetroGuy2000 · 12-27-2018, 09:52 PM

Woah!

Was he a dentist, too? Did he have a frizz head for a dental hygienist?

And I hate to ask this, but was he having an affair with the frizz head?

'80sSitcoms · 12-27-2018, 09:53 PM

^---hahaha!

I have no idea on 2 and 3, but on 1 I can say I don't believe he was a dentist. I forgot what kind he was, I'd have to look him up, lol---in fact, I think tomorrow at the office I'll do just that!

(although, technically, Dr. Parker in Peekskill is an orthodontist; he only "dresses" like a dentist. Don't let any orthodontists read your post Retro, or they'll be up in arms!
