TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

a warning to all my friends here on TuD. i am in my funny bone phase. what may be funny to me, may have you looking at what i've written with a strange puzzled look on your faces. ask my family, i have been in the phase many times as i've grown up and they've run for the hills. if i am funny, enjoy the laughter, if not please forgive me. i have this strange sense of humor that not everyone gets. in other words i bomb big time. but it still seems funny to me. my favorite is prime time news. when the commentator says something that can be taken two ways. i am rolling on the floor with tears running down my face and everyone is looking at me as if i have two heads. i explain, but by then it's too late, the commentator has gone on to something else. i see things in the world around me that makes me laugh, that again, no one else sees. guess i am in my own little world that sees things slightly off center. good or bad, i don't know, but i am happy and i guess that's what counts. did you see the debates the other night. obama in one frame had someone else's ears in place by his own ears. what a hoot. see what i mean?

I love it. Every once in a while I get into giggle fits that my current company doesn't get. But, the best is when someone joins in with the giggle fit...

Good fo you, Debb. Good for your son-in-law, too...."Father-Daughter Bonding Time," I always called that....besides, he absolutely needs a taste of his wife's life every now and then.
When things like that happen to me, I like to think that if that is the worst thing I have to deal with all day, I am a lucky person.

HAH! You know, it's fortunate we will all not be considered odd for our senses of humor for much longer... Soon our robot overlords shall appear and tell us what is funny!

joe, you can never have too many units of laughter. fill her up, i say. today i went about an hour and a half away for an appointment only to be told they had sent me to the wrong office, in the wrong town. that appt was for 10:00 am. they made a new one for me at the other office and it wasn't until 2:45. a day wasted full of grumbling and growling? nope, nope, nope. we got in the car and went christmas shopping until the time of the appt. a good day full of laughter and fun. now my son-in-law who was stuck home babysitting and not getting to go hunting may have a different take on the whole deal. but he shouldn't because he got to spend quality time with his 14 month old daughter until his sons got home from school. i still think he was pulling his hair out though by the time we got home. ganashing his teeth too. yup, ganashing.

In the Bible Proverbs says Laughter is medicine even to morrow of the bones.
So have a good dose of laughter . Hey, how many units of laughter do I take before meals. Whats my basal level.

gaelyne.
that's what get stuffed means here as well. i would have been laughing too. life is meant to be enjoyed and i intend to enjoy it to the fullest. goofy to the end. if your busy looking for the funny in things you don't have time to be sad.

We must be kindred spirits. I look at things very differently as well. I once guffawed at a McDonalds commercial where Daffy Duck was saying something like Eat and McDonalds and GET STUFFED! .......

I'd just gone back to the states from Australia where GET STUFFED means er ah Well substitute the f word for the stuffed word and you'll get it. Anyway, everyone in the room thought I was laughing for no reason. I laughed anyway, it was hilarious to me. :-)

sohair, i too wish to meet you someday. as well as quite a few of my friends here on TuD. i think we would have a blast.
dena, i wish my family felt that way. i think i really scare them bad. i come from new england old fashioned stock. children should be seen and not heard. the stiff upper lip and all that rot. needless to say i rebelled.
elaine, that's the way i look at life. unfortunately, my family thinks my humor is too far out there to be funny. i'm always outside the box. i figure that laughter is what is going to get me through all my problems. it doesn't make sense to me to sit and whine and cry when i can laugh and sing (ok,not sing, another bad area with my family, they pay me not to sing) but anyway, if it comes to crying or laughing i'll take laughing all the time. well, i do have my moments, but they don't last for long. as i tell my family when they ask what is so funny. i say life in general. think about it. i just take it one step further and see the ridiculous, the image behind the story. laughing is a cheap medicine, one you don't have to pay for. (unless you laugh at a really big biker, then your in trouble) the only good thing i can say about crying is that it cleans out your tear ducts. i suppose it can help once in awhile to have a good cry to get over something, but then go on and laugh. look to the ridiculous and enjoy the obscure thought. i don't make fun of others though. that's not fair, they can't defend themselves.

Debb......you will probably live forever. Laughter is the best medicine. Did you know that seeing humor where others don't is a sign of intelligence? So, not only are you kind, thoughtful, and beautiful, but you are brilliant as well!
