Why we need to laugh more

Posted by Susan on Aug 06 2008 | About Laughter

Because it’s a form of self medication.
Because WE CAN … Laughter is a flat out CHOICE.
Because it energises our mind to be creative.
Because it alters the brain neuron chemistry.
Because it increases the hormones that make us feel good – such as ……dopamine and serotonin.
Because it’s convenient.
Because it’s safe.
Because it’s easy to access.
Because there’s no cost.
Because it’s fat free.
Because it burns kilo gules.
Because there’s no cholesterol.
Because you need no elaborate equipment.
Because it can be used anywhere for any reason, almost.
Because there are few, if any, side effects
Because it’s healing to the brain and body.

Dr. Leroy Berk who researches the benefits of laughter…..from California USA……..says…………………..

Laughter is like arobice exercise…….
20 seconds of aerobic laughter gives the body a work-out equivalent to 3 minutes. of hard rowing in terms of giving the heart a work-out”.

LAUGHTER is a bit like changing a babies nappy.

“It may not be permanent, but It sure makes things a whole lot better for a while”

Sending you Encouragement

Posted by Susan on Jul 27 2008 | Quotes & Inspiration

To my dear associates, friends and families,

I’d like to share a really cool website with you. I stumbled across it a week ago and the concept inspired me to forward it to you because I think you’ll appreciate its simplicity and meaning.

It’s called The Encouragement Foundation and it was launched this month (www.theencouragementfoundation.com.au). Its purpose is to do just that, encourage people. The simple concept is that you receive encouragement from them, together you encourage others through you and excite people about furthering their life long learning skills. Continue Reading »

Why men don’t write advice columns

Posted by Susan on Jul 27 2008 | Raunchy Stuff

Dear Walter,

I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn’t driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband’s help.

When I got home I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor girl. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor girl is 22. We have been married for ten years.

When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won’t go to counseling and! I’m afraid I can’t get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely, Sheila

******************************

Dear Sheila:

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

Walter

Violent Oprah Spoof - Remember the Tom Cruise couch thing??

Posted by Susan on Jun 27 2008 | Funny Videos

American talk shows. They can be pretty insightful but also so inane and like a circus. Case in point, the Tom Cruise couch incident. This little skit shows us how extreme all this could be…. [Viewer discretion advised! - ha ha]

Questions you just can’t answer - Ponder this!

Posted by Susan on Jun 22 2008 | General Silliness

A few things to ponder…

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are
flat?

Why do banks charge a fee on ‘insufficient funds’ when they know there is
not enough?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but
check when you say the paint is wet? Continue Reading »
