I can contribute to this also - Credit Scott for this topic.
I used to be an avid bowler and was going pro but my children were more important to me at the time. I entered my name in a $5,000 drawing from Don Carters Bowling Lanes in Tamarac, FL.
Well, low and behold, they drew my name at a banquet in Miami on a Sunday night and I was at the lanes bowling. I was called to the front desk and they announced it over the PA and totally embarrassed me in front of everyone. Of course, everyone kept saying "drinks on Kay". I didn't live that one down for a long time. It was in our local paper. Geez, I spent that money at least 3 x's.
During the same month, I came in first place in our local County Bowling Tournament for women in Tamarac again and that was in the paper also.
It was all fun and we still talk about it today with our friends when we see them.
Who is next with their story
Edited to add:
I was also on the Mickey Mouse Club in Columbia, S.C. when I was 12 years old. Now that was fun. I sang a song and had on a pink dress and I forgot to put the belt on it and that that was terrible. Oh, the things we regret.......
