Laughing makes you feel better. Having something to laugh about is a good thing. Do you laugh daily? About what?

I trust you are teasing me with that intro line. Every normal person in the entire world enjoys laughing. It's impossible to be angry or fearful if you are laughing full out. So far as I have had experience with you, you seem to be normal, not ab. Therefore I take that l ine as one of  the ways you use to make laugh. Have you ever laughed so hard you cried? Have you laughed so hard your stomach hurt? I don't know how old you are but if you are of " a certain age" and a fan of Carol Burnett's did you see her coming down the stairs in a ball gown she fashioned from drapes with the curtain rods on her shoulders to hold it up? I read that was the single longest sustained laughter of any show that ever was recorded at that time. And Lucy! Whom everyone loved. Did you not see the vitameatavegamin (sp?) ad she did on one of her shows? The product she is pitching is laced with booze and she keeps having to redo it so by the end she is drunk as a skunk. Or the chocolate factory one? Or the one where she wore a disguise (William Holden guested) and she tried smoking a cigar and set her nose on fire? I'm just sayin' if you saw those and didn't laugh then you are not the person I thought you were. I make myself laugh  because I do some pretty silly things. Jim and I laugh every day about anything and everything. I wish our cat Tigger would laugh but he is inscrutable, kingly and very mysterious. Thank you for your reply Plingsby and Happy Wednesday to thee!  :)

Happy Wednesday to you too :)

That's it? No comments on what I wrote? OK. Have it your way. Thanks.

Sorry :(

No worries. Happy Thursday to thee Plingsby! :)

You have that in common with Isaac Asimov, Plingsby. Whenever he lectured there was much laughter.

Many people do not realise that Asimov was an excellent writer of popular science.
It says on my profile that I am interested in Astrophysics, this interest started with reading Asimov's "The Universe" in about 1970. In another of his books, one of the appendices demonstrated how to prove that E=mc^2. I learned it, almost a mathematical party trick. I've now forgotten again (I remember it involved the hateful binomial theorem.)

He wrote about 500 books and only about 100 were sci-fi. I'd have liked to have read his "Bible as History". Two volumes and I'll bet he made it entertaining.

Us too. We laugh daily. I count on it Didge. Thank you for your reply. It's a sad one. Nothing funny happening but disasters are right up there at the tip of the memory. Is that an age thing I wonder? :(

I'll tell you what's sad, Rosie. We stopped for coffee and muffins yesterday and the young guy on the counter said, "I've given you a senior's discount." I huffed up a bit and said, "What makes you think I look old enough to be a senior?" That sort of things really shatters the illusions. :(

You know Didge my Jim always asks "is there a senior discount"? Hey we're old. He is 81 and I'm 79! There is no getting around it. Might as well take advantage of what few perks there are don'tcha think? Anyway I already told you once that you've very cute. Not quite as cute as my Jim but very cute nevertheless. So just enjoy it. I know you do and I'm  sure Mrs.  Didge does as well. While I do enjoy going back to the olden days in memory I couldn't take all of it again. What's behind me is behind me. Been there, done that. Now we find new adventures in new places with new people! Right! There's a whole world out there! Go grab some of it!  Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday

I'm in between you and Jim. I'll be 80 in April. And like you, I wouldn't want to do it all again. Once is enough and I don't want to go back. It'd be nice if the body functioned better but what the heck, it's just age.

 My Jim has a bad back. It's due to a compressed disc in his spine. It's worse when he plays golf because of the twisting motion but he loves it so. He's tried a zillion different things  through years and at best the relief is sort-lived. So he lives with it and refuses to let it stop him. Me? I'm mostly always pain-free! Sometimes arthritis kicks up in my right hand but it only lasts a day or two. I'm so lucky. Every older person I know has some unremitting pain he/she lives with 24/7. Except me. So far. I don't know why that is but it's a real blessing. And anyway it sure as he** beats the alternative! ((hugs))

The Didgina and I treat it as a source of humour accompanied by choruses of "My friend the witch doctor" (ooh,, ee, ooh, ah-ah, ting-tang, walla walla bing bang"). Beats hell out of complaining. 

Hahahahahahahaha! How about "boop boop dittum dottum whadum chew..boop boop dittum dottum whadum chew...boop boop dittum dottum whadum chew and they fam and they fam all over the dam"? OR Mairzy doates and dozey doates and liddle lambzydivy. A kiddleeatdivytoo wouldn't you?"  I think we're onto something here. Don'tchoo? Thank you for your reply Didge! :)

There's another interpretation of that and I'm not sure which is correct: 
Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy
A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?

I know. It's much less interesting though, don'tcha think? There is something so very majestic about mairzy and lamsydivy don'tcha think?  I like to play with language. As you know. Anyone can be "proper". Dull I say if that's all they can be or want to be. Kick up your heels! Toss your hair (works better for gals than guys)! Thank you for your reply Didge!

Ah, that's cruel. I don't got no hair to toss. Maybe I can toss my beard. 
Catch you tomorrow, Rosie. 

Happy Dreams kiddo! Saw the "reconfigured" photo of Doofus Donny. Such an improvement! Thanks! :) Oh regarding hair or lack thereof? I was bald in 2008 due to cancer. Without hair the head gets really cold. I know what bald is like except for cold there was no downside. Well I s'pose not having hair to toss around for months was a bummer but it grew back!  This post was edited by RosieG at February 16, 2017 1:53 PM MST

Glad you made a successful recovery., I had mine two years later, also successful, but I was lucky --- they killed it with radiation and I didn't need the chemo.
