Rodger Pettichord Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi all. The modern world provides all sorts of opportunities to feel despondent: political nonsense, military conflict, unnecessary famine, vicious internet trolling. It all adds up to a rather constant oppressive weight. So thank goodness for that which lightens things up a bit for us, people, animals, events that make us laugh. This week, let's celebrate the moments of grace that help us stay sane. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: this past week, what or who made you laugh? (For me, it's my wife. For our entire forty-six-year marriage, she has gifted me with wholesome laughter every single day, even on the heaviest days.) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Well I would have to say my kids who are all in their mid to late twenties and my Grandson who will be 5 on Wednesday. They all share a good sense of humour which I love. I've had my Grandson staying all week and he has let out some rippers. Thank God he goes back home tonight. cheers Gumby 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I go into the same categories like you: My wife and our kids (also in the twenties). We find so many occasions to laugh, to remember jokes and to create new ones. I should not forget our cat and her unstoppable creativity. And as long as you find the majority of people that you meet share your opinions of the world, it helps a lot to digest the struggles of today (and I have met many people from many countries during the last week). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I think I am the most hilarious person. My Dad jokes are the best. Without me it would be a very serious mature world. Never grow up! Cheers Graeme 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleT Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) All my children, who are in their low to high 40s (how did that happen ), and their offspring, who are sometimes more mature than their parents, never fail to keep me entertained on a weekly basis AND for the last week, as a counterpoint, I've been binge watching the original Downton Abbey (having seen them all with my late wife when they first came out) just for the sheer enjoyment of hearing the English language used in a proper and most skillful way - one of the advantages of increasing age I've found is not being able to remember many of the TV shows and movies I've watched over the years my wife was terribly distracting Edited June 18, 2022 by TerribleT 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I will have to say my neighbors and my cat. I have some really fun and social folks all around my home and we love to hang out every few days and have some fun talks and jokes. And then there is my cat. He gives me giggles each and every day, doing something that is always surprising. Landon 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 As my wife and her family over here are as funny as an outbreak of Cholera, I get my laughs from English comedy from the 50s to 90s. I have many comedy DVDs that I enjoy watching as well as hours of entertainment from You Tube. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
