How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Posted by Jake @jakedduck1, Dec 31, 2018

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

I just saw a support group for proState
But I'm not an antiState either... My way to fight polarization these days

(ok self-crafted on the fly, be kind with boos!)

Groan ....

You do deserve credit for your seminal work on the elusive prostate joke. I'm gland you took a stab at it.

Keep rollin' that stone, Sisyphus!

Pretty clever adjective ... gave me a good belly laugh.

Sometimes I think our species long lifespan is owed to our capacity to find the comic in pathos.

I've had prostatitis and it's no bed of roses. It was a royal pain in the patootie. Just like most politicians.

Don't allow a job to stress you out because your job will be posted online before your obituary!

Sorry! Couldn't help myself...🙃

What’s the difference between a general practitioner and a specialist?
One treats what you have, the other thinks you have what he treats.

Valerie, You are posting comments on "How about a Laugh" instead of "Just Want to Talk" topic and the mentor is trying to redirect you to the correct topic to place your comment under. No harm done sweet lady! Blessings.....

I have several family members coping with serious problems such as marriage separation, severe drug addiction and newly declared lesbian. As the mother/ grandma, I want to help but they are withdrawing from me. I have few friends and am elderly. What can I
Do?

Take care of yourself! I would suggest listening if they ask for advice, but I personally don't think there is much you can do at this point. The first step has to be theirs. I wish you the best!
