I did not know that you have this other blog. Laughter is a great remedy for lots of problems in our lives. Back in India, when I visited last August, I found many laughter clubs thriving as a legitimate business. Needless to say, I've stumbled this post. Shilpan Jean,

They remind me of children...one fun way of getting them to laugh is to tell them not to. It can be a fun game in a group of them. :) It makes me smile just to think of it. Tracy,

I actually attended a Laughter Workshop once, and it was interesting to learn how easy it is to start laughing just because someone else is laughing, and that you can actually get yourself to start laughing even when nothing funny is going on. And it really does make you feel better. Also your motto of "Do the best you can with what you've got" is a great one. "And if that's not good enough, get some help" I too beleive that laughing is a wonderful thing to do as often as possible.

Must have been 100 of them. I kept them moist. Every one died. You can't correct Mother Nature. I did the same thing transplanting 1 inch pine trees at our cabin. Must have been 100 of them.

It turns out that was enough to kill the poor thing. I mourned my loss at the time, and it's still a family joke. Another joke is when the pine trees up on our land had seeds, and we had gazillions of seedlings around our place. They were too close to the house to survive (because of fire danger), so I tried transplanting some and giving them TLC. They showed their gratitude by promptly dying. Just shows how little we know sometimes. :) It's enough to keep us humble. bikehikebabe,

Then she did her flower garden to kill the weeds. I pointed out it would kill the flowers too. Here you decide--What can I do now?-- without getting stressed out. (She watered flowers heavily.) This same neighbor wanted me to get rid of my cactus garden because her kids got stickers in their feet when they walked across it. Now that's a Ha Ha Ha moment!
