1.   laugh at my own jokes but we all know I'm hilarious.

2.   Life is too short to be serious all of the time, so if you can't laugh at yourself, call me, I'll laugh at you!

3.   That awkward moment when someone you hate says something funny and you try not to laugh.  FUNNY HA HA

4.   I used to think the brain was the most important organ, then I thought, look what's telling me that.

5.   It's hard to explain puns to a kleptomaniac because they always take things literally.

6.   I told my doctor I broke my arm in two places.  He told me to stop going to those places.

7.   If you want to catch a squirrel just climb a tree and act like a nut.

8.   I was wondering why the basketball was getting bigger.  Then it hit me,

9.   Recently I woke up to find that two of my tires had been stolen.  When the police officer arrived, he asked, "When were you last driving your car?"  Me, "Last night at 11:00 P.M."  The officer, "And the tires were on it?"

10.   A scientist tells a pharmacist, "Give me some prepared tablets of acelylesalicylic acid.  "Do you mean aspirin?" asked the pharmacist.  The scientist slaps his forehead.  "That's it", he says.  'I can never remember the name."

@Lindsays Grandma  I'm also Linds(e)y's grandma.  But I'm also Emily's, Will's, Sean, Megan's, Madeleine's and Kayleigh's...and one furbaby (Luna Lee).

Ha!  I liked your post.  You have a good sense of humor.

@Annabellethecat66 ...Seven, how do you keep track of all of them?  I love the name of your fur baby, Luna Lee, who came up with that one?  I'm glad you liked the post, too much negativity in the world, we have to keep laughing so  we don't lose it.

@Lindsays Grandma  Actually I usually mention my grandson who lived for 7 days, he was "baby Jack".

As far as how do I keep track of them....only 4 live near me.  The other 3 live in Florida with their mom (my daughter).

I am terrible on ages though.  I'm usually not good on names, except these are my grandchildren, so of course I know their names.  Ha!

I kept saying my grandson was 14.  Talking to my daughter just this Thursday, I said something about him being 14....she said, "Mom...he's 13".  If you saw him you'd swear he was 18 or 19!  He's almost 6 ft tall and he looks exactly like my late husband at the age we married (18).  He is super smart and well-mannered.  He's been taught to respect...respect.  That's very important in our family...respect others.  This daughter has him and a 7 year old boy.

She was just telling me how she constantly reminds the older boy about respecting people and setting the ground-work for when he dates.

Anyway, I'm off subject.  I meet and talk with so many people everywhere I go.  I might not remember your name but I definitely will remember our conversations.

Names aren't important to me.  Maybe that's why I have trouble with names.  It takes forever for me to grocery shop.  I talk to strangers about everything under the sun.  Sometimes 10-15 minutes.  Sometimes just 1 or 2 minutes.  But I've learned I have to be wary of giving too much personal information.

I've had a few women insinuate WE could become regular 'hang-out' friends.  I put the kibosh on that quickly.  My friends are very important to me.  They're friends I've had for many years.  

I like people, but as far as 'hanging out' with someone I'd just met...duh?  That's just not going to happen.

@Lindsays Grandma The only way I have been able to get through life is with a lot of humor!Thank you for sharing.

[this is my nic]

I try to not use the wrong name when referring to my daughter and both granddaughters.  My daughter is Christy, one granddaughter is Kellie, the other Kaitlin.  They all start with the "k" sound, so I frequently start saying the wrong name.  Usually, I catch it and get the name right, but sometimes..... I use the wrong name.  Oops! 😱
