No fun any more?

All this has really cheered me up ?. Thought it was just me ps I do have an airing cupboard!!

I really would love some fun and silliness. I get a bit at our knitting club there is nothing better than having a good laugh. It seems to be good for you.

My OH has no discernable sense of humour, everything is serious and any jokey comment I make is treated seriously and with a lecture.

A friend of mine is dog mad like me. She was walking her dogs by the canal one day when her oldest dog aged 17 fell in. The dog was very frail, and started drowning. My friend jumped in the canal retrieved the dog and gave it the kiss of life on the bank.

She said there were people walking past. Nobody said a word. When she told us this story I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Mind you I was on holiday and had consumed several glasses of wine.

This thread has certainly made me laugh ! I loved the chewing gum tale . An old friend once said she was very sad about the fact that she would never fall in love again - the next thing I heard she had run off with her piano tutor and is living happily somewhere .

I can't remember the last time I rolled around laughing until my tummy hurt (I was probably a teenager giggling with my best friend!)
However, just had a good laugh with my cousin who phoned this evening, we don't speak very often but usually end up laughing at something stupid.

We (DD and me) usually find the odd thing to laugh about. For example, in our hotel room today there is a note saying that if you want the (full length) window opened, ring down to reception and they will arrange it. We duly rang them. Very polite gent came up and opened the bloody thing in the usual way. No key. Just turned the handle and pulled. Wished us a good evening and off he went. so why did they leave the note?!

We are imagining them in reception now, waiting for us to ring down and ask for the window to be closed.

Oh I hope that's not trueanjanla even though there's somthing dreadfully horrible unfolding here we can still have the odd laugh. The last time I visited my 86 year old MiL in the residential home that she hates. She kept repeating the same thing over and over until I started to laugh. She joined in. So there we were on the edge of her bed both belly laughing. It was lovely. I hope I never stop being able to have a laugh.

The last time I laughed out loud it was at one of my granddaughters antics.

Are there 2 threads running here!! Not laughing and airing cupboards?

Sorry but it is a fact that as we get older we laugh less.

So we have to work harder at it as laughter is the best medicine. What ever our problems being missable won't help.

iPad gone odd Mediterranean

I think we get a complimentary meal at one of the 'specialist' restaurants on embarkation day. I fancy the crown grill the lobster tails I had there were gorgeous. You can view the menu on line.
I know you don't eat meat, but do you eat fish etc?

Have FUN Bella and Galen where is the cruise headed to????

Trust me! I'm a retired doctor!

I know what you mean, Alea. I find it hard to find life 'fun' any more without DH to share things with. Having said that, I do enjoy your posts which often have me chortling out loud all by myself

I'm hoping the fast-approaching cruise with Galen is going to be filled with joie de vivre, heaven knows, we are both in need of some

Grannyknot, perhaps I will fall madly in love with someone but are they going to want an old woman with skin like crepe, double chin and pot belly. If he had the same I wouldn't fancy him.

Auntieflo and wot, the man measured the head height on the sloping part and allowed for over six and a half feet, so you do not bang your head at all, and as for moving house, I don't think it will pose any problems at all. I had the self same thing installed in my other house and when we moved I never gave it a second's thought.

As an aside.. I got my hair restyled on Saturday and now have a medium length bob.

When I got home nobody said a word.

Barstools

I felt momentarily glum the other day because I realised that I would probably never fall "madly" in love again. I mean, like, besotted with someone

I was out with my daughter this weekend, she made me laugh so much at one point, I couldn't look at her for fear of having a Tena moment.

It is strange that this should come up because I have, as a background on my computer a lovely picture of me and the other half, and a friend at Amberley Museum, where we were being presented with a 'thank you' gift for all our work over several years of running the Print Shop. We were not leaving, just handing over the reigns. I have my head thrown back in sheer delight - yes, I used to laugh like that, and my other half is beaming from ear to ear. Evidently I do still laugh a lot - they say at the bowls club, they always know when I am on the green! Not the same sheer enjoyment though for some reason, and I am not unhappy.

I'm alright - still some joie de vivre - but DH has turned into Mr Glum which pulls me down.

Alea Until I read your post I hadn't realised how long it had been since I had a good laugh or felt excited about anything although I am lucky that I have nice holidays, lunches out etc. I always seem to have something to worry or mither about

Alea, that's why I let my hair grow and grow. Once when I had it cut short the young boy next door burst out laughing

Alea I also know what you mean. I decided that maybe I was feeling glum because I needed to upgrade my hairstyle so I had a complete new style just last week. Very short, choppy, younger looking. Looked great when I left the salon and I had lots of positive remarks BUT can I do it myself? Can I heck. It just looks thin and short and messy.

So I am back to feeling glum and wishing that I had left it as it was because I could at least make it look reasonable.

Just wish I could feel full of vim and excitement again. Has that feeling gone for ever? (And hoping that I can do something with this hair other than wearing a turban)

Drinks all round!?????????????????

Alea I do know what you mean.I wonder why it is so?Closer to the grave? ?
