Does laughing keep you young?

5 Oct 2008

I love laughing you can't beat it, and it costs nothing.
Yesterday I had a day where I just found everything funny, It started with a silly post here, it just tickled me, then I was in the chat rooms last night and someone said something stupid and I just lost it.
The worst thing was I was on cam with my microphone was on so all watching could not only see me, but could hear me too.

:rotflmao:
How embarrassing I was uncontrollable. redface

Do you ever have days where you can’t help yourself laughing?
What normally triggers it off?
Does seeing someone laugh trigger you off?
Do you think laughter keeps you young?
Mostly we do use the word miserable with old gits etc
Normally I find it is stupid things that gets me going.

I believe that laughter is one of the best medicines! And honestly? I don't think I laugh enough. I may have a giggle or titter (!) but its not until I have one of those moments when I laugh so much that I cry and loose the ability to stand, that I realise I have not properly laughed for a while.
And its often the silliest things that get me going.
I always remember my dear old mum asking me about a clue in a crossword. She asked me how you spelt Lionel. I asked her what the clue was and she said, "something - the lionheart"
I was hysterical for hours and it still makes me giggle!
I have the best laughs nowadays with my best mate,her daughter and my son. Often after too much wine, champagne or vodka(or all 3!)while trying to sing on the playstation "singstar"!

I never laugh ,or tell jokes and always take life to damn seriously.
Yeah right lol

Yes, I think it keeps you young. I still laugh at very silly things. It's also sooooo theraputic.
The most I EVER laughed was when a friend and I were in a shopping centre. Walking infront of us was a man with his girlfried. He was VERY muscular and was wearing a TINY vest to show off his muscles. He was swaggering/strutting his stuff to an unbelievable degree. He looked at his girlfriend and walked straight into the lampost infront of him. I laughed to the point that my legs gave way on me. My friend actually wet herself. If it had happened to anyone less cocky, I would have been straight in there to see if he was OK...but I couldn't get off the pavement!! Many years later, whilst cycling around Malaysia and Thailand..I thought of the event and started laughing so, so much that I just had to stop cycling!

I love laughing, think its great when people disolve ito a complete fit of giggles. and I also think its a lovely quality, when people can laugh at themselves. The world would be so much better if everyone had a sense of humour

I cant have laughed since 1977 then :shock:

oh i love a good laugh
just a shame i always do it at the wrong moment
i remember a fair few years back me n hubby had had a row bout summat stupid and whilst sulkin after we was watchin a comedy where a guy was playing an actor that had to play dead on the stage and he started giggling i have no idea y i found this quite so funny but it gave me the awfull giggles
i was uncontrolable i sat there laughing soooooooooooo hard and hubby sat scowling at me which just made me worse
i swear i must of laughed for an hour solid and everytime i thought i had control of myself it would start all over again
this has happened to me so many times and always seems to b when all around me r serious which just makes me worse
can't beat a good laughter session and the best are when everyone else is laughing too not just lookin at me like i'm a loon lol

Stupid things make me laugh, the kinda stuff that no-one else finds funny. I do have a warped sense of humour.
I love the kinda laughter that makes it hard for you to stand, breathe and compose yourself.
There have often been moments, at the worse possible time, when I've been gripped by laughing so much that I can't do a thing!

Interestingly, i think the same is true the other way round too.
the amount of times i still get critisized for taking serious things lightly ( because i havnt got upset/angry/miserable) is also wierd...
i like to have a good balance between the 2...

The key is the use of language.
Mmmmm this sounds a bit deep Keeno.
No not really just that the english language is a rich and beautiful thing.
Like a lot of the woman here?
Some maybe. Anyway, the words serious and earnest means similar but slightly different things.
Huh?
Well serious. You do things seriously. I'm serious about tai chi but I laugh a lot at my class.
Yeh?
And earnest people just don't smile a lot and are humourless.
So its okay to be serious but not earnest?
Something like that cool

I love to laugh…..and have know if it keeps me young, but it sure makes life easier and better!!!!
My kids will often phone me, and start chatting to me, and we are laughing and messing around… then after a while they say to me…
“mum… have you been out?”…
“No why?” I ask…
“Well have you had a drink then mum? Are you a bit drunk”
“No why?” :shock:
“Cause you sound so happy and full of life…… can I have some of what ever you have had then please?” They say….!!!!
Yesterday was shopping day….. mmmm not just food, but all my batteries had decided to run out at the same time !!!
So off me n daughter went into the town…….
I had to go to Halfords to get some of the batteries, as the supermarket doesn’t sell them!
We were looking at the display, trying to work out which batteries were the right ones…..and were having a right laugh….
I looked up to see the very young innocent looking guy stood at the till watching us…..
When I had found the ones I needed, we went to the till, and on the way there I could see this guy really starting to look flustered and bothered…..
I am not quite sure if he was dreading me going up there and asking him to fit them for me or what, but within the short time it ook us to get to the till, he really did look very hot n him….
He rang them all into the till and told me that it was like £14……… Blumin eck I said to my girl…..£14 on batteries…….
Then she said…..”Well just think of the hours of fun you will have with them mum”……..
:giggle:
I think the poor guy just wanted to ground to open up and swallow him… he was bright red and didn’t know where to look or what to do…..
Well at least we left laughing…. And I bet the poor guy has a right story to tell his mates lol…..

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Then we went to the supermarket, to get some food, h and the rest of the batteries I needed….. and to cut a long story short, we ended up getting some of the store staff dancing about at the tills and having a real good time….. well someone had to turn the music up a bit didn’t they! Lol….
:giggle::giggle::giggle:
I am also one of those that find, that something said in all innocence to be really funny too….
And I get in to trouble for it lots….. but I cant help it……
Example……
Sat out side the Pub after eating a nice Sunday dinner…… not drinking as I was driving, so just having pop….
The landlord came out for a chat (very lush too!!) my friend told him that he had a leak at the door, so he looked and then said….
Ahhh I will have to get my silicon gun out to fix it…….
I was in fits….. tried to stop laughing, but then he went on to tell me how if he pushed it too hard all the white stuff came spurting out the end, and that you had to make sure your hands were wet as it was very sticky and you had trouble getting it off!!!!…
He then went on to say how pervy my mind was……No I said… it’s just that my mind is open to all possibilities lol…..
I also hate formal meetings or gatherings where you have to keep a straight face, cause something always tickles me, and I have a right job trying to not crack up! Not nice sometimes, but I just cant help it…..
redface

ops: :oops:
Yeh I’m just a nutter who loves to have fun and laugh a lot!
And for some reason, everyone wants to go shopping with me! Lol….
