Comment from Sasha
You had me laughing so hard I began to cry. I live in Mazatlan and manicures and pedicures are the number one thing to have done here and the cost is usually less than $12 US (for both). You did a absolutely marvelous job with this and I am still laughing. Loved the video...that made me laugh too and brought back some great memories of when I lived in Tucson. I wish you all the best in this contest too.

Ah, Sasha. I loved reading your review. Thank you so much for committing to one of my longer than usual reads (I tend to over write). So glad you enjoyed and so glad to hear the video is still there too...it has disappeared a few times!! Thank you for reviewing it as a two center, and while featured in a contest...a rarity all unto itself :)

Oh my goodness! I can't stop laughing.
This story is hilarious. I can identify with the thongs part. I had some teenagers in fits of laughter when I (in my sixties at the time) told them I wear only thongs, when I run around and do my housework.
I would have given you a six but I don't have any. Sorry.

Hahaha, thank you so much alleewin! I remember without looking you are my Canadian padre in the wrong lane with your passport at home on the kitchen table, right?!! I appreciate the virtual six, they are as good as gold when I hear comments like yours. Have a great evening!

Family humor has no boundaries. I could feel the embarrassment and the grr factor when those rude ladies made fun instead of helping you out. But your daughter's response put this piece over the top. I enjoyed reading your story.

Mary,
This was great, although, very long. After I started reading it, I did not want to stop. It was that funny.
You did a great job turning the incident into this story. I had a feeling that the pants came from clinging to the sweatpants because of static--well, I was close.
You gave readers a hilarious story that will be remembered for a long time. That song 'Pants on the Ground' was a perfect inclusion. Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Hi Jackie, thank you so much for your RR&R, and for hanging in for a longer read! I appreciate the feedback, and you.
Comment from Marykelly
This must be a true story because no one could make up all the events that led up to the panties on the floor. You tell this story in a leisurely way that helps to build up the tension and the humor. You also give enough extra information to make the characters believable and their reaction to the granny pants even funnier. well done

Comment from seaglass
This is so funny. It reminded me of my embarrassing experience in a gym when I was nude in a tanning bed that caught on fire. Also my mom had an underwear dysfunction while singing in the church choir. Her panties fell down around her ankles under her robe. she whipped them up and hid them under her robe. I would have given you a six if I had one.

Thank you, Ulla, for your RR&R. It was, we agreed if I ever come back to her by way of a Medium, I would use that story as affirmation that it really is me :) :) Have a wonderful day, and thank you so much!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was so funny! I would have been like you, dying with embarrassment! LOL. What a brilliant story, but those girls really were unkind and very rude. I have to admit to being a little bit like your daughter was with you had it been my mother. I was always laughing at her faux pas, but with her, she would have louder at mine! Brilliant story! xsx Sandra

Thank you, Sandra, for your wonderful RR&R! I appreciate hearing your reaction to my panty disaster 😄 I appreciate you stopping by!
Comment from Brett Matthew West
Losing your underpants in a crowded room like a salon would indeed be embarrassing.
Make a person not want to show their face in public again.
Commando it would definitely be.
Touch of humor thrown into this story for good measure.
