What's the Last Thing that Made You Laugh Out Loud?

We live on a street with lots of young children, which is quite enjoyable. The other morning, as they were heading off to school, 1 mom takes turns each day and walks with them to school, but on this day, I happened to be out there watching as they were all leaving and the one lad( he's now 9) started walking backwards, and I thought he was just being funny, yelling to the others who were still straggling along, so it didn't mean anything to see him walk backwards. His mom was the MOM walker that day and she yelled...Craig...what are you doing...turn around and face the front...and his response was: MOM, If I walk backwards it doesn't take as long to get to school...lol

For his age, I was surprised that he actually believed this, but to hear him offer this as a legitimate rationale for the way he was walking ..was just toooo funny to let pass.  Scarey what some of the young ones think is rationally good thinking !

The other night on "coast to coast" they were dead pan serious talking to Mary ann about her expereinces in dealing with people that have crossed over...as guests called in expereinces.. saved  in thier lives... from "guardian angels" as well as the "remote viewers" calling in on what they saw from their perspective...so here they were taking calls...and an fella called in and he asked..Can you talk to people that have crossed over an long time ago...and up injects George Norry with...You mean like that guy in the Arizonia western Cemetary with the tombstone says..He lies "Les" with four slugs... more or less...it caught me be surprise and I burst out laughing from the rediculousness..and her answer was "NO"..once an person goes over you have to contact an "medium"..not her...she only talks to the earth-bound souls that have not crossed yet.

I ran into an web site the other day with about as many problems as  I run into some days on the computer...it looked like some of the words were in an foreign language of ill repute. But then it went into an history lesson of how these pioneers built thier cabin in the winter time.... and was against everything I've ever known to be the truth. I was appalled to think anyone could be so stupid, I often run into things told by others that is more for the dramatics then the truth. I also have studied an lot about housing styles and building. So you can imagine them in dead winter in Ohio with cloth oiled fabric windows and as this person said logs that had two inch wide open spaces without chinking that let the wind blow through...listening to the wolves howling at night. For one thing I've never known any pioneers start building cabins in dead winter...when they set the logs down they usually rested one on top of the other...and if there were any gaps.. plank boarding was usually nailed over it to hang stuff off of... if not quilts along the wall...and the full huge fireplace usually was ablaze 24 hours 7 days an week for the things they did besides heat the place. Windows usually had shutters to shut in the winter time.I wonder who came up with this fantastic tale. It reminds me of the guy that wanted an childs "swing" made off an big branch on an tree, but what he ended up with was the tree cut in half and propped up and the swing put in the center of the tree...the diagram said.."modern technology" at work.

How are you doing James....I finished an romance/mystery book I betcha most of you guys wouldn't of minded reading yourselves. It only had three sex scenes, though rememberable I do suppose and lots ot intrigue and mystery to it. Lots of booze. High social class..and bedchamber sneaking around. People dying. And an house maid that makes the best currant tarts...just so she can be sent to the store for more to make, so our gentleman friend can spend some time in bed with his lady friend. He did the honorable thing on the last page and said he was tired of going home to an empty house and wanted to get married. He was gettng tired of all the tarts too! Aspia..(Name suited her well) ended up falling down the stairs and breaking her neck..an lady murderer...she fell in love with one an got to liking it better then he did...he didnt' trust her not to do him in so he wrote an letter to blackmail her with...she did him in anyway. Took over hiring out in high society to do in any gentlemen that grandmothers of the time didn't want in an "arranged  marriage" to their granddaughters. She knocked off three fellas before they caught up with what was going on. Lavina for an widow would make an good sex goddess I think. Tobis just touching her back was enough to getting him aroused. So much for the red heads...and this one was smart too!!! Book took me one day to read it in. I go on now to something different. End of my yearly Valentine's Day novel.

Oh, it was a Valentine's novel, whew!  I was going to ask you, Shirley, how on earth you ever find the time to read a novel.  But that one sounds like a real page turner. 

I can't quite put my finger on the last thing that made me laugh, but it was something at work today.  I'm very fortunate to work with a bunch of clowns.  We laugh and joke every day.
