"Stress relief from laughter? It's no joke," says the Mayo Clinic.
Since I'm feeling stressed, I decided that I'd post some funnies this week.
After all, laughter is good for many things, including your soul.
When I was pulling a load of laundry out of my dryer yesterday,
one of my dryer balls fell on the floor.
I picked it up and started laughing, because it looked just like I felt.

I took it as a sign from the Universe and started searching for something to laugh at.
I found this and I cracked up, because it reminded me
of my wonderful friend Pat Hatt, his zany humor, and his menagerie of pets.
❤️ 🐾 Here's to you, Pat! 🐾 ❤️
I hope the funnies tickle your funny bone. They certainly did mine.
My only criteria for selecting them was they made me laugh when I needed to.
Here's to laughter!

An early ADHD clue I should have picked up on.
I wore a harness and trailed a rope from the time I could walk until I was about four.

HUGE thanks for the smiles. Laughter is an essential.
ReplyDeleteYou bet, Sue! Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteHappy memes are the best cure for mundane life. I enjoy them very much
ReplyDeleteI need to spend more time looking at them! They do lift your spirits. Have a great weekend, my friend!
Delete...Louise, thanks for the chuckles. I hope that you are frazzled today. Be chilling.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my best to be chilling, Tom! Thanks! All the best to you!
DeleteGreat lineup of LOLs, Louise! I agree -- a good belly laugh is very therapeutic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra! You're brilliant at finding the best funnies and memes! Happy weekend!
DeleteLmao laughing sure can help indeed. I've spent many an hour on the floor too hahahaha
ReplyDeleteYou? A harness? I never would have guessed haha one of the nephews has spent more time slung over my shoulder than the other. Should have got him a harness lol
All the critters have a harness. Why not a kid? ~ lol! I learned to untie the rope knots. Once Mom found me at the top of a ladder leaned against the roof of my grandfather's workshop. She told me I told her not to worry, because I had tied the rope to the ladder. 🪜 You've got to love kids! They're so much fun. Have a great weekend, and hopefully you get to spend part of it with the boys. Take care, my friend.
DeleteWonderful scroll through your posts. Good choice for the spiral challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie! Have a great weekend!
Deletemy favourite is the Mount Rushmore joke.😊

DeleteThank you for the laughs. The expression on the "not cut out to be an emotional support dog" really had me in stitches. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, Erika! I crack up every time I see that dog's face! Hugs to you!
DeleteI love a good laugh and you have some good ones here. But my favorites are the ones of you as a kid. No laughs but a great smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanie! Roy and I have been together 72 years now. He's a great brother! There were only two of us then. Later three sisters joined us on the journey through life. Siblings are truly special. All the best to you!
DeleteGreat post, lots of faces and funnies. However, Tony Robbins is wrong for what I am stressed about right now. Thank you for joining FFO and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI hope your stress eases, Nicole. I can't imagine how difficult this time must be for you! Keeping you and Mr. M. in my heart and prayers
DeleteWe all need a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteWe sure do, Dora! May your week be filed with lightness and laughter!
DeleteHad a good laugh. My favorite was the email meme. I get mails of some YT live and all but by the time I check my mails, it would have been over like weeks ago. My favorite place to find memes is Pinterest. Have a nice day:)
ReplyDeleteHi, Señorida Anastasia! I'm sorry that I'm just getting back to you now. It has been a week!!! I'm glad you had a good laugh. Pinterest does have a lot of good memes. I enjoy looking there too. I hope you've had a good week! Sending you a big hug! Have a happy weekend!

I'm glad my funnies had you laughing today, D&S! I couldn't even get a post done for FFO this week (6/28), so I understand! Wishing you more laughter as days go by!

ReplyDeleteIts logic psych cells have video memory as i bet no one looks like you in your community, variant and differences, etc. we love your caring nature,,,,
ReplyDelete❤️😂🍀
DeleteI am all in favor of laughter as a cure for stress. I go to Facebook and watch the video posts and YouTube for the funny cat videos. They cure me every time ... and now today, you have cured me at least temporarily of the stress that is ever present in my current life (daughter issues). You were a cute youngster ADHD and all. I know many ADHD people and they are full of life and fun ... as are you :)
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From the Sol
Thanks, Andrea! Negotiating family currents can be challenging, and I wish you success with yours. I consider realizing that I was ADHD one of my life's greatest ironies. I had been teaching at least 15 years when I suddenly realized that I was ADHD. I worked very well with kiddos with learning issues, and I had had many ADHD students. I suddenly realized that all the accommodations I was putting place in my classroom over the years for ADHD kiddos helped me cope and that I couldn't function successfully without them. I was stunned! So I shot an email off to my siblings to ask them what they thought, and they all replied laughing, including my youngest sister who worked in special ed. They told me that their secret nickname for me for years was "The ADHD One." That was when my brother pointed out that most of my childhood photos featured a harness and a rope, something I hadn't even noticed! Here's to diversity and richness in life. Sending you a big hug!
DeleteLaughter is so important, especially in dire times. Thanks for the chuckles!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carola! We are in dire times, but I hope that we will muddle through! All the best to you!
Deletedear Louise i could not believe myself i was laughing like crazy while reading this post lol

Hi, Baili! Thanks for your lovely comment, as always, my kind and thoughtful friend! I hope that you have had fun with all your guests and in-laws. I'm looking forward to visiting my family in Nova Scotia soon. It's hard seeing everyone only once a year. I'm sure looking forward to lots of hugs and fun! Trust me, I know what it is like to open a blog post, and suddenly several days have vanished before I get back to it. Story of my life! I get caught up on one thing and fall behind on three others. Now that I can see again I've been feasting on books late into the wee hours. Being able to read again without struggling is a great joy! Sending you much love!
DeleteFunny that you took a photo of the dryer ball. Those silly moments are much needed. I hope your feeling better now, Louise.
ReplyDelete-Soma
Thanks, Soma! Things are easing, and I am doing better! I often joke that I take photos of anything that moves or doesn't. It struck me as hilarious at the time, still does. Wishing you a happy and fun weekend! Happy creating!
DeleteDear Louise, they say laughter is the best medicine, I hope this healing art has helped you to feel better again. I certainly had a lot of fun :-D.
ReplyDeleteYour childhood photos are adorable. However, I wonder WHY you wore a harness and trailed a rope from the time you could walk until you were about four... (?)
Hugs and all the best, Traude

Hi, Traude! I'm just catching up after a busy, busy week. I always had a harness and a rope, because I was a runner. I never sat still. It was the only way my mother could keep me safe. Sometimes she would attach my rope to the clothesline, and I could race around in a bigger area. That's the hyperactive in ADHD - Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder. When I was a child, ADHD wasn't know about. I'm 74, and I still have trouble sitting still. My brother Roy, on the other had, would sit for hours on his blanket. If there was a toy on the blanket out of his reach, he would pull the blanket and toy to him instead of moving. It always amazes me how different siblings can be. I hope you are enjoying a great weekend! I'll be catching up on visiting your posts and others this weekend! Hugs to you!
