How about a laugh, (hopefully)
I believe laughter is the best medicine. Laughter has actually been scientifically proven to help people with depression issues.
Let’s give it a try so we can all get happy and feel better. Many Epilepsy forums I’ve been on had joke sections. I was probably the biggest joke of all since I didn’t get a lot of the jokes. They said the jokes couldn’t be above 4th grade level for me to understand them so my jokes may be rather simplistic but let’s give it a try.
Have a lovely day everyone,
Jake

Frances... just thoughts popping into my mind - born in a country with many superstitions, quotes and "sayings"..... when younger and we were to be seen not heard: and how when we were hurt by what other children said to us being told to repeat, many times:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" as a way of coping... and odd that it later life and after a nine year abusive marriage many years ago, it was the hurtful things that were said more than the being shoved etc. I read that too on local women's shelter few yrs ago that for some it is the emotional abuse.. not the slap, hit or worse; those pains heal but the painful hurtful words reach our very souls.
On a lighter note as trying to sleep last night another older but goodie: for the joke section: My Mother used to tell me to smile at my troubles and my Father used to say: take that silly grin off your face! J.

1 ReactionThat is really cleaver and cute! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Fran. It sounds as though you understand "removing toxic people from your life" without critisism. You have fun a Harvest Day whereever that is and sans makeup? No lip gloss? Just kidding. You do as you please.

4 ReactionsThe "red light zone" was the area where a certain type of adult entertainment was available. A red light over the door indicated establishment was open.

I believe it's
"Red SKY at night
Sailor's delight."
( Possibly meaning fair weather tomorrow. That's the way our family interprets that saying.)

2 ReactionsOh not sure how I feel after seeking the origin of this weather prediction !
Thing is, Internet does not always give source of the information, but this is what showed: if so, how many years would that be and how did it becine so popular I wonder/modernize? ..... some people saying "Sailors' Delight" and some saying "Shepherds' Delight" and even some enjoying the red sign: "Delight at Night"
K.J.V. Mathew C.16 V 2&3
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Who knew?
Surprising the origin of many "sayings" we have today ! (if Internet correct)
