Do any of these resonate with you

Great thread. Thank you, Meg.

Why are you all folding fitted sheets, I fold them roughly and then when you next stretch them over the bed they are ironed and lovely.

Yes OldMeg I think I was/ am on the right thread. I though it was about things that puzzle us and why anyone wants to compete to be the most ill or take the most meds puzzles me.
Many of the other replies are also about things that are puzzling too.

brilliant list glad its not just me that always wonders what happened to the deceased nosey nature

Same here Willow500 lol It always happens.

So very funny OldMeg. I love number 2, that's me!

In addition to removing computer history when I die, I’ve also asked my best friend to remove a certain item from my bedside drawer! ?

I've been feeling really really depressed and this thread has cheered me up no end, especially the one about the little girl and her mum talking on the bus. Thank you!

1 Clear your computer history frequently - you never know. And leave instructions for the hard drive to be smashed up

3. DM used to say 'You'll be glad to go to bed when you're older' to which I would reply 'No, I won't!'. Yes, Mum, I am

5 I don't want to know (I leave it to DH)

12 Who will want my LPs?

17 "Really?, oh really, really?" is a good alternative, nodding and smiling as you say it.

Perhaps we should ask for a dedicated thread for light-hearted and/or funny posts? Seems like we all like a ?. I think there’s already a jokey one running
Old Meg; Couldn't agree more! We could be soulmates. I've been a member for only 5+ months and have longed to see a forum titled "Jokes Only" or "Humour Only" I've always tried to see the funny side of any situation when appropriate, which seems to ruffle a few feathers from time to time, but who cares!
Gather everything under the one Forum instead of scattered as of now and any humourless posters will know not to look and thereby upset themselves.
You're smarter than me so could I trust you to set it up? I've still got ideas and material to go!

Has anyone seen the comedy way to fold fitted sheets on YouTube . Not very good at links but it’s on:

Teach us how to fold a fitted sheet Terri. It’s hilarious!?

Well done all;really funny post

Best post for ages. Thank you for the pleasure!!

If you have posted a reply (as you have on this conversation) thyen selecting "I'm on" will give you a list of threads that you have commented on - very useful for continuing a discussion.

Old Meg, you are very clever, think for yourself and write well. This list has made me smile.

Here's a few more:

-everyone should have the day off work on their birthday

-why don't people ever compare themselves with others who are worse off andf be grateful instead of contrasting their lot with billionaires to make themselves unhappy?

-why change clocks twice a year to cut off an hour of daylight in the evening? We'd all be happier if the October change didn't happen.

-why do tolerant people tolerate the intolerant? It's contradictory, absurd and positively harmful by empowering the wicked.

-Sprouts. Why?

-Ditto wasps.

-do young women not know the the duck pout they put on for selfies makes them look strange?

-Serving Champagne warm should come with a custodial sentence

-Cake solves almost everything.

Well done OldMeg for bringing a smile to us all, and thank you jenni123 for making me laugh till I cried. I remembered hearing a little girl talking to her Mum in a toilet cubicle, suddenly saying in a loud voice ' oh well done Mummy you've done a poo and a wee!' I stayed in my cubicle until they had washed hands and gone, purely to save the poor woman's blushes.

Schnackie surely 5 feet tall means short legs.???? Like me.

Love all the suggestions. We need to do this more often. Too much depression is bad for us all.

jenni123 HA HA HA...…...brilliant, I'm still laughing, I would loved to have seen the faces of those passengers and the conductor, HA HA...….thank you for that.

Loving these light hearted observations OldMeg. I’d add why do I get halfway through a book before remembering I’ve read it before, then I have to finish it because I can’t remember the end.

LOL! I feel I must add, that the same friend who deletes the computer history, should remove personal items from the bedside cabinet ?

Love the thread. Really lightened up my day!
Especially the Tupperware lid.

Re 'What'.... I got told off for saying what. 'Pardon' sounds posh....
Now I say 'Sorry?' Feels right to me.

Bathsheba, that’s so true. Annoying, isn’t it!? A kind of extension to needing to check the time more than once.

Ha ha! Loved this OldMeg and all resonated with me!

jenni123 love your story, made me really giggle, can't wait to recount to OH when he gets in. Aren't little ones lovely in their innocence.
