Lucky we haven't lost our sense of humour!

I go out of my way for laughter. I've become a junkie of sorts. I've found it helps me all the way around. Funny movies, jokes online, you name it I look for it.

Me too.
Old BT1 used to have a 'jokes' forum and it was very active, daily.
New jokes and funny stories every day.
With enough contributors, lotsa humor was there.
I miss it. Used to start my day off with reading, and contributing.
Here, there is a 'lighter side', but it isn't the same.

BTW- about 'your kids can get it for you'.
Short story:
I was self medicating for my undiagnosed foot & leg pains with
vodka. A lot of vodka.
When I was finally dx'd and found out that alcohol exacerbated my pain, I stopped drinking (for 4 years) totally. In the first few months
I tried weed again (not since my college days) and it was one of my
kids who got it for me. I had no idea where to look, but he said, "hey dad- wanna try some of this! "
(It took me off guard, but I gratefully accepted the gift.)
After about 3 months, I found that it really didn't do much for me except give me the munchies, and made me fall asleep earlier in the pm.
That's about when my neuro started me on neurontin & Ultram. It helped me very well for 7+ years, & then I switched to Lyrica (& Ultram). My only bad s/e has been weight gain. I'm the heaviest
I've ever been in my life. I put on 30+ lbs and can't seem to take it off.

Can't you just see all of us in ten years, sitting at our computers, still having the PN, but we are HAPPY PN'ers. We're toking on these joints and we're typing away at the keypads, still supporting each other???

Oh my god, I hope it doesn't come to that!!!!! lol

Well cruddy dud - I'm 75 years old (and I'm only a Junior Member here?!?) and have never toked a joint in my life and guess I never will as I have a humongus fear of being behind bars. My son is a Sheriff Deputy and has worked the drug detail busting guys/gals all the time. I've asked him to sneak me a few joints and he just won't do it. Think he fears losing his badge about as bad as I fear jail. So, will go to my grave never knowing how good/bad smoking a joint might be. Guess I could go down to the corner......oh, crap, here comes tha cops! See what I mean?

ROFLMAO!!! Now there's a visual. I still like a joint every once in awhile but I don't do it very often because it made my anxiety much worse. So I'm not tempting fate anymore.

LMAO!! Pot relaxes me. I feel real good. It's hard to describe. I used to love to get high and crank up the music and clean house. But it's not worth going to jail over that's for sure.

Haven't had a joint since I'm 24 and this year I turn 60. Maybe I'll have one for the gipper!!!! Saw that in a Ronald Reagan movie once!!!!

jeez, is my life boring or what?? don't drink, don't smoke, no pot, no fat, no sugar, low-sodium, joints ache, and now I've got PN. Only thing left is sex!!!!

Since my joints ache, Who has the energy for that????

lol,

Ok,

Jimmy asked his dad for a new bike for his birthday.

His dad said "Sorry son, we just can't afford a gift like that, you know we have a $300 thousand dollar mortgage".

The next morning Jimmy's parents woke up to find Jimmy's suitcase packed up, and Jimmy waiting by the front door.

Jimmy's dad asked "What on Earth is going on here son?"

Jimmy replied, "Last night when I was in bed, I heard you and mum yelling. You said you had enough and you were pulling out! And she said she was coming with you. And I'll be damned if you leave me here alone with no bike and a 300 thousand dollar mortgage!"

Ha! Ha! Ha!, good one Aussie
