How can we brighten our days with laughter? What are your jokes, thoughts, ideas?

How can we brighten our days with laughter? What are your jokes, thoughts, ideas?

This thread is dedciated to making each other laugh

There's an old saying, 'laughter can be the best medicine'. I myself enjoy a good chuckle from the bottom of my belly that brings me close to tears. It does wonders for my well-being.

Some things that make me laugh are:

- Watching stand up comedy such as Die Roten Punkte, Flight of the Concords and Stand Up for Mental Health (if you don't mind black humour)

- Spending time with funny people - my niece and nephew are a barrel of laughs. It's great to see the world through their eyes.

- Watching funning movies and shows (The show 'Friends' and New Zealand movie 'Boy' are old favourites)

What about you?

We have had our moments @soul but overall was an ok day.

Will take some time to settle back into a routine I think.

Can I ask what your wife's diagnosis is @Determined ? Only answer if you are comfortable to, of course .....

I can see my WH is reeling under the diagnosis of OCPD, and that is while he still has no insight into his eating disorder. While S2's pdoc made the diagnosis over WH, and has referred us for family counselling, nothing has been put into place to support WH with coming to terms with this diagnosis ...... and that feels wrong to me. He has just been landed with it, and left adrift .....

Going to be a long day in the Darcy household. Mr Darcy anxious ++ and crying. Does anyone have a completely inappropriate black humour comment they can send?

Au contraire @Determined I think that it would almost certainly hit the bulls eye - you can be assured that I do not take offence. To me, black humour is a bastion and necessary for self preservation.

Can't bring myself to post a black humour pic @Former-Member but I'm glad you can see a funny side to it all. Here's something that might amuse you in any case.
