I've been a little distracted today.  Just a while ago, I'm not sure if I
was topping off the cat food or the kitty litter, but I poured a nice amount
of cat food into the litter box.

I think I need a nap.  Pity the poor people who think I'm preparing their
tax returns!

Well, I've never done that -- but last week I put cat food in my cereal
bowl!  Fortunately (for both the cats and me), I noticed it quickly.   LOL.

...Too rich for me.  I eat old-fashioned oatmeal (no sugar).  Come to think
of it, the Omega-3 might be a good additive.

My younger niece snacks on the cats' dry food. She's done it for years.
She's 16 now. I could hardly believe my eyes when I first saw her doin
that. She tried to get me to taste it, but I told her I'm a vegetarian,
so I can't eat that. ;o)

My mother says that when I was little, I was known to munch the
occasional MilkBone (dog treat). AFAICT, it didn't hurt me any.

I don't remember having a strong opinion on the taste (it was a LONG
time ago (grin)), but someone once responded to my mentioning that by
commenting that MilkBones are probably more nutritious for humans than
some more conventional people snacks. :-)

Me and my best friend when we were kids used to eat doggie chocolate
buttons. Another seriously good one (For the looks on peoples faces-
they don't taste of much at all) is to eat those bits of packing
material that are environmentally friendly being made of puffed up
wheat rather than polystrene.

A friend's young daughter once asked me why the cats liked the cat treats
so much, and I said I suppose they taste good. Something about the
expression on her face made me ask why she wanted to know. She said that
she'd tasted one, and didn't think it tasted very good at all, so she was
wondering why the cats loved them!

That happened a couple of times at the office - what a mess!  And those
commercial machines they use... the ones that are hooked to a water source?
If you push the Start button twice (impatience; wasn't me) it will brew TWO
pots of coffee.  Don't do that!  Heheh.

At a previous job, one of those plumbed-in coffee machines had the
valve get stuck open.  No one remembered where the cutoff valve was.
Finally, in desparation, they had to turn off the water to the entire
factory.  By that point, we had a puddle of coffee about 20 feet wide.
The cutoff valve turned out to be inside a closet several yards away
from the coffee machine.

Oh, I've managed that, but there's something even more repellent:
walking bleary-eyed into an office cafeteria, and not noticing, after
placing a tea bag in the cup, that one is filling the cup with hot
coffee, not hot water.

Incredibly bitter.

Pouring cat food into the litter box, at least, is something that would
make perfect sense to an industrial process efficiency specialist.

My parents liked both iced tea and iced coffee, and my father liked to
make punch by mixing tea and orange juice.  The mixture is an
unattractive murky brown color, but it tastes good.  On several
occasions, he accidentally mixed coffee and orange juice, and jokingly
named the result "thé Columbiano" (Columbian tea).  Having once made
the same mistake myself, I can tell you that coffee and orange juice
don't taste all that great as a combination.

What difference does it make if you drink coffee and OJ at the same meal (a

I like the chocolate/coffee combination.  Try mixing coffee and OJ;
you might like the combination, and, if not, you know what not to do.

Before everyone started selling all the different flavored coffees etc, I
used to mix half hot chocolate and half coffee at those quick markets.
Still like that better then the fancy new versions.

LOL, I can attest to that last one, since I've made the mistake of adding
orange juice to my coffee when I'd intended to add milk. :oP Coffee and
orange juice don't complement one another at all.

The orange juice/tea combo sounds good. I've added a SMALL amount of
orange juice to hot tea, instead of lemon, and it's good. But I never
thought to make a whole batch of tea+orange juice, nor had it crossed my
mind to try this with iced tea. Sounds good! :o)

And while we're on the subject of tea/fruit juice combos, I remember
following a friend's suggestion and heating apple juice, then brewing some
Bigelow orange herbal tea (I forget the name of that particular flavor) in
it. THAT was pretty good. I'm glad my friend suggested it, as I wouldn't
have thought to try that on my own.

P.S. This thread is absolutely hilarious. :o) I'm glad I'm not the only

LOL! But anyone who's tired enough to attempt brewing their tea in a cup
of coffee probably needs the extra caffeine. ;o)

A similar mistake by someone I know, who put instant hot cocoa into his
cup and poured coffee into it, turned out much better. (Normally the
carafe he used contained hot water, but this time it had coffee.) That
actually tasted pretty good, according to him, so I tried it. I like it.
:o)

Something I DIDN'T like was the result of accidentally pouring orange
juice into my coffee when I meant to put milk in. OOPS. Bad idea. That was
definitely one of those "I'm standing up, and I'm walking around, but I'm
not entirely awake" mornings! ;o)

I did that the first time I brought my kitten Elwood home. I was all
nervous and excited,  so I filled up his box with the food. I noticed
something wasn't right when he started to eat, what I thought, was the
litter.
I said "holy crap he's eating the litter!!"

oh.

He's my first cat though, so I am aloud to make those kinds of stupid
mistakes!

Ummmm.... since I feed my cats moist food, I can't say as I've ever put
it directly into the kitty box instead of their bowls.  Of course, it
helps that the cat box is not in the kitchen.

Don't worry, though.  I've done plenty of silly things by virtue of not
paying attention.

I havent' done that, but I've become so distracted by the kitties when
bringing groceries in that I put the milk in the cupboard and the apples
in the refrigerator. Fortunately I noticed what I had done before the
milk went bad.

And there have been a couple times I've brought the mail in while I was
bringing in groceries and put the mail in the frig and the milk on the
mail shelf.

No, I never get distracted :)

I admit to having done the same thing. More than once. And I always pick all
the food out and put it back in the bag.

But here's something I've done that's even worse! I sometimes use an empty
dry cat food bag to deposit used clumping litter which I later (when the bag
fills up) carry out to the woods to dump. One time, I dumped a bag of dry
cat food that I mistook for a bag of litterbox waste!

Well, this isn't really in the same vein, but it happened 10 years ago
and I, to this day feel dreadful guilt over it.
The League for the Blind had called and asked if I had any donations
for Saturday (they take clothing, toys, about anything. You leave it on
your porch). Saturday came and I forgot. I had, however, put a black
trash bag full of litter and empty litter sacks on the porch, because
it was raining and I was going to wait till I took it out to the curb.
You know where this is going. The bag disappeared. I called every
League of the Blind store in town trying to find out who I needed to
apologize to. Gad. I feel awful just telling this again. I imagine
whoever opened it thought it was an awful, horrible joke.

Hmm. Maybe that's the answer. I got a really nasty case of "mealworms".
Probably from the cat food.

Tiny brown moths who flitter around, infest any kind of grain product. And
eventually end up crawling across the ceiling. I did finally get the
solution, from a friend on the email.

When I was seven, I refused to brush my teeth one night (I no longer
remember why).  My mother got impatient, loaded up the toothbrush, and
started brushing my teeth, over my spluttered protests.  When I could
finally be heard, I told her that she had put First Aid Cream (an
antiseptic cream) on the toothbrush, instead of toothpaste.  It tasted
pretty foul.

I bet you didn't refuse to brush your teeth again....

I once, when I didn't have my glasses on, grabbed the spray deodorant
and used it on my hair. :-)

I was 21-ish.  Took a nice hot bath with baby oil in the tub.  Got out
feeling all silky soft.  But I neglected to clean out the tub.  The next
morning before work I filled the tub with water and dunked my head under to
give it a quick wash.  Got to work and someone asked several hours later,
"Is your hair still wet?"  Oh!  It was coated in mineral oil.  I realized
what I'd done as soon as the question was asked.

My sister Veronica did that on her daughter's hair one x-mas. We were
getting ready for x-mas eve dinner and with 3 bathrooms and 12 adults
and 10 kids, it gets a little hectic. She grabbed my deodorant, thinking
it was hair spray (hello! do I look like I use hair spray?). On another
x-mas, she grabbed my shave gel and  used it on the same poor daughter.
Then she yelled at me! I said, it's not my fault you don't read english!
She said, but it said "gel". I said, yeah, shave gel not hair gel. :)

I've known men who used hair gel and/or hair spray (straight men, even
(grin)).

ROFL!

Believe me, although I have not done that particular one, I've come
close.  And I've done everything else just about.  Like start to put
the bag of dirty cat litter in the fridge . . . .  Good thing I caught
myself!

Last week, I fortunately noticed that the bottle of cooking oil that I was
about to pour into the skillet in preparation for sauteing something was none
other than Orange scented Pine Sol.  Amazing how similar the bottles are.

Wow, you'd better store them in completely separate locations from now on.
That stuff could be toxic.

You are not alone, I've done loads of things like this, found a packet of
tea in the fridge and my purse in the oven once.
My best is, last thing at night, putting my hot water bottle outside on the
doorstep and taking the milk bottles up to bed with me.

Now I am wondering how many of you have milkmen who come in the early hours
and put bottles of milk outside your door!  Anyway, they do here, and you
have to put the empty bottles out..

One of my brothers was a milkman once.  He used to have to go at midnight to
collect his milk from a depot, drive around all night delivering it in a
remote location where everyone seemed to have a quarter mile long drive, and
go back in the daytime Thurs & Fri to collect the payment for it.  It wore
him out after 5 years of it.  He never got to see his children, so he packed
it up.
