What is your all-time worst personal hygiene mess up?

We all get a little tired - and then a little careless - and then before you know it, you've washed your hair with Nair instead of shampoo.  Dang... the bottles looked a lot alike, right?

Something close happened to a Phoenix woman who thought she was squirting eye drops into her eye, but instead accidentally used ... glue.  Not Elmers, mind you, SUPER glue.  

Irmgard Holm immediately knew something was wrong when her eye started burning.  She tried washing it out, but it only took a few minutes before the entire eye was sealed shut.  

It took a long emergency room visit to get the eye open and washed out.  She'll be okay.  

The FDA is looking into whether glue makers need to change the shape and size of their containers.  

What's your worst goof?

Kelly Osbourne is losing more than weight, she's losing a few of her 15 tattoos.  She says some have meaning, but others feel like "a mistake."  The decision came while filming her new movie "Should've Been Romeo" after spending time in a makeup chair getting them covered up.  She said she originally got the tattoos because "I really knew it would upset my mum and dad."


Toni Braxton filed for bankruptcy claiming she owes between $10 and $50 million.  And you thought your credit card was out of hand!  source

JOKE OF THE DAY

A veterinarian was feeling ill and went to see her doctor. The doctor asked her all the usual questions, about symptoms, how long had they been occurring, etc., when she interrupted him: "Hey look, I'm a vet. I don't need to ask my patients these kind of questions: I can tell what's wrong just by looking. Why can't you?"

The doctor nodded, looked her up and down, wrote out a prescription, and handed it to her and said, "There you are. Of course, if that doesn't work, we'll have to have you put down."

SURF THIS!
