Default Belly laugh

As some of you know I post "jokes" on this form. It is not because I don't take "parkers" (Ta Ltd) seriously. I have to because I live with it every day but seeing the funny side of life helps me. I have a strong sense of humour and truly beleive that it helps me through each day. It is too easy to slip into a depressive state and feel sorry for yourself. The problem is if you do let it slip life becomes a nightmare. Please remember that what we have is not a rehearsal for anything else - this is all we have so make the best of it. I do know that sometimes that is easier said than done - I have been battling with this damn annoying situation for 8 years but I will not give in. It is the easy option but definately the worst in the long run. Just a thought - it is not terminal cancer, motor nuron so perk up, put a smile on your face and enjoy every time the sun comes up. Your a long time dead!!!!!!!!

Default Re: Belly laugh

Well said Pauline & Drew. I laugh on a regular basis generally whilst catching sight of myself in the mirror wearing my tutu !!
I practise my ballet by trying not to fall off the stage but it's difficult in high heels!!
Now Picture the scene me looking like a sack of tatties (potatoes) I obviously look elegant until I open my mouth and the true sound of a Geordie comes singing out. Thats when I get "are you Irish , welsh, scottish or German"
(I shave my armpits thank you very much ! )
I know I missed my vocation when I see the reaction of my Mother clapping in the audience then her ringing my older sister (a pyschiatrict nurse, telling her to book my 4 meals a day ) She doesn't disturb anyone as she is the only one in the audience !!

as if we didn't laugh we would spend all day crying
I have a warped sense of humour, But i can take as good as i give
