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.
