If You Go Out Looking Your Best....

@Rollo1 Yes, that's a sure way of not running into anyone. Nice to see you again Anja.

@Rollo1 Kind of like keeping the house clean so nobody drops in.

@mom210 Yes, that's a similar thing. If the house is a mess that's when you get visitors!

@razyhorseladycx Lol - you make it sound funny, but I bet it wasn't at the time. Poor you.

@crazyhorseladycx You know you could make a brilliant post out of this? Go on give it a go, it's a great story

@jaboUK i thought it purty danged funny's fella's i danced with all the time jest walked'n by. i did return ('fter a thorough scrubbin', mind'ja - boots/jeans/baggy t-shirt 'n my hat) a couple hours later jest to see if'n there was any reaction. hard to keep a straight face's they were tellin' me all 'bout this 'mysterious gal'. in betwixt razzin' me 'bout bein' so late'n 'em left with no dancin' partner :D yepperz, tongues were a waggin' fer quite some time mercy, this's the first i've confessed to such shenanigans!!

@jaboUK Someone even dared to tell me that I looked good without make-up I cannot believe how people can lie.

@LadyDuck

@LadyDuck Lol - that's what catches me out too - when I've been gardening. I perhaps just want some milk fromm the shop so don't bother to change - oh well, at least it's what I call 'clean dirt'!

@amadeo Wot - going out without your makeup!!!

@DianneN I'm surprised if this happened to you Dianne!! I imagine that you are always immaculate

@ElizabethWallace The middle ground is fine

@jaboUK A little lipstick and a touch of blush is all the prep I do now. I would skip those too, but I am so fair skinned that my face disappears without some added color.

@ElizabethWallace I often don't bother with make-up at all (well not just to go to the shops etc).

@jaboUK ....Humour and truth are sometimes very close.

@celticeagle I like your humour!

@BelleStarr Way-haay! That's great - I now pronounce you a fully fledged member of the limerick club

@jaboUK I agree, when did this erupt, or have you kept a lid on it all this time, or I just missed it.

Oh @BelleStarr love your limerick! Very clever1

@Juliaacv i think it's happened to most of us at one time or another

@GreatMartin Tsk tsk! Fancy forgetting your white gloves! But what fun. Thanks for suggesting, I appreciate it. You should get notified if anyone responds to your suggestion.

It showed up!!! I forgot my white gloves!!! LOL

I just suggested this post--tell me how it works out!

@garymarsh6 I expect it's the same for you fellas too (Not the make-up part!)

@nanette64 Same here Nanette

@just4him Glad you like the poem, thanks.

@fishtiger58 Yup, I'm afraid it happens

@fishtiger58 That's me for sure too. And if I color my hair, it really throws them off.

@jaboUK I'm a t-shirt and jeans person. so when I dress up and put on makeup no one recognizes me lol.

@jaboUK Honestly, it don't much matter to me. I know who I am and that'a all that matters. I am fine with myself. I am not looking to impress anyone.

@inertia4 Aaww. How do you know you weren't noticed?

@jaboUK Yes this is true. Though I don't like my neighbors for a different reason. During the summer they are always loud! They know that their property echoes up to ours but do they care? Not at all.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes real friends won't care, but you are just as likely to meet a snobby neighbour

@wiLLmaH I just put make-up on for special occasions too. As long as we look tidy, it's fine.

@jaboUK yep. As long as we are clean and that will be fine. :)

@bluesa Pink curlers?

@jaboUK , yup, and it was a doozy, Janet! :-D

@cintol I'm doing fine Cindy, I've just commented on your latest post.

@jaboUK I just saw that, thank you so much.

@JudyEv So right - life ain't fair!

@JudyEv Lol - I did get the inference!

@jaboUK And then you die! (Life's a b**ch and then you die.)
