What embarrassing moments happened in your past that just horrified you - that now you are able to look back upon and appreciate the humor in its absurdity?
I can remember the word "Meditate" being used in my school career only once. It was in the 3rd grade when teacher was reading the class a story in which the word came up and asked if anyone knew its meaning. A very shy and reserved me, who rarely brought attention to my self was so excited and very confident because I KNEW the meaning of this word - and no one else in the room raised their hand. WOW! - smart me! - so teacher called on me, and I proudly exclaimed.....
"To meditate is when you have to use the bathroom for #2"!
Well, imagine my embarrassment when everyone laughed, including the teacher!
Well, hey! my Father everyday would grab his book and announce that he was going to go meditate, and the bathroom always smelled that peculiar way it would smell after he was in there an extended period of time. What was a girl to deduce?

My face would have been very red. My recent situation with a best response caused me to be so embarrassed, as one of the members posted a link to my question. I had only one response and it was a one liner. It became even worse when other members agreed with the original member. I wanted to find a deep hole, as even I knew the best response feature needs work by Mylot. Mylot should remove any post that doesn't answer the question posted in the first place. Some members did give me support or I seriously would have considered no longer posting.
I have learned a valuable lesson from Mylot and have learned a lot more about myself and who my friends on the board really are now. Thanks for listening to me and hope my post isn't to long.
