Just for Laughs

Leo C. in Georgia sent an email full of images of a little boy with a beaming smile. We'll just include one photo here, but it speaks volumes. Are you that happy? And in his position, could you be? What a great lesson this little boy's smile holds.

Just for Laughs

Joan in Georgia caught an article in the New York Times online, about a couple whose oven is turned on by their cellphone! If you have a Maytag range, keep your phone away from it, just in case. :-D

Just for Laughs

Michael G. from Michigan sends a visual reminder of how funny Brad Paisley is, even when he's doing a serious love song. When you're having one of "those" moments in your relationship, watch "Little Moments" again and remember how to laugh with love.

Trouble hearing? Nope...no trouble!

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear perfectly .
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'
The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!' - Jude, NJ

Laughter is the Larry medicine!

Larry the Cable Guy is full of ... well, something! From Fain Z., here are some of Larry's best "Larry-isms" to make you laugh.

1.A day without sunshine is like night.

2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.

3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.

6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.

9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture most people have.

10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.

13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.

14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?

15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?

21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?'

22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.

23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

A few years ago I went to a Judy Collins concert in NYC on Christmas Eve - Jim and my mom went with me. It was a great way to spend Christmas Eve. Carnegie Hall was comfortable, Judy Collins came on stage and her voice was beautiful. There were people around me of all ages. Toward the end of the concert we were all singing with her. About a year ago I told my friend, Carolyn, 'Yea - I sang with Judy Collins at Carnegie Hall, Jim didn't but I did." My friend's eyes almost popped out of her head, then I added "Of course she was on stage and I was in the audience". - Joan
