Hesitant about posting?

Ha ha ha a ha ha
He he he he he

Haying a good old titter as Frankie Howerd would say and laugh out loud are a daily necessity for me.

You can't change many of the sad things that haven't to people. Bre sympathetic if course but enjoy your life.

^When I read your thread UtbB my first thought was of one of my favourite posters who is going through the worst of times.
I was thinking that she would be the first to say keep on laughing, enjoy life to the full…
And then there she was joining in your lovely thread and that’s why she is one of my favourites.^
That's a lovely thing to say, LauraNorderr. Such compassion and kindness between those lines.
And your sentiments too, * Usedtobeblonde*.

Yes, and one who is never unkind to others but has been in receipt of such from others.

I would be on the floor laughing if I had been there 🤣 😂

Sorry that was about the vicar rolling about the floor

I like a light hearted post , it cheers me up. I tend to keep out of n & p posts as they can get quite heated . The problem with the written word is that it can get misconstrued and people take it the wrong way .
My funeral story is my grandads . My cousin brought her baby because she didn’t have childcare . Her baby was about 6 months old and during the quiet time of reflection she started blowing bubbles and babbling . We all started laughing including the vicar . My grandad would have laughed too.

Tenko, at my husband's funeral my two year old granddaughter shouted, in a very high pitched voice....I need a wee.

Back at my mum's house after my dad's funeral, we had quite a few people there, the main chit chat was about cooking skills, I said "Don't ask mum to cook sausages, she cremates them." Mum, my grandma, and all my siblings erupted in laughter, the rest of the guests just looked at us. Dad had been cremated, but it had become a family saying started by him, "Mum's cremating sausages again." which, the other mourners didn't know about. But it was the belly laugh we all needed as we had been so numb because my dad had committed suicide.

What’s N&P please, Babs03?

If course it is! My mind went blank. Thanks Babs for rescuing me!

Mother-in-law died a number of years ago and father-in-law had her ashes interred in his garden, saying that when his turn came he wanted their ashes mixed before scattering. His turn did indeed arrive earlier this year and we found a big enough container for two lots of ashes.
When my husband went to mix them, I heard sounds of banging and knocking. He came in with a wry smile and announced, "Mum's gone a bit clumpy"

It lightened the moment!

My H’s ashes are in a box in my wardrobe, just waiting for mine to join them.
I haven’t checked them for clumpinesss, 6 and a half years but I don’t think the wardrobe is damp at all.

Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go!

Speaking of children at funerals, my little GD attended her other GM’s funeral in a Catholic Church. When the priest waved incense over the coffin a shocked-looking GD asked ‘Are they going to burn Grandma in here??

Let's keep all the posts miserable just in case someone takes offence at a bit of laughter

I'm on to it Welsh Poppy .I am great at misery.

A few years ago my husband and I were at a neighbour's funeral,he was being cremated and had chosen the songs himself. as the coffin was moving along and the curtains were closing the song rang out...I fell into a burning ring of fire...

Sorry, shouldn't laugh but ....!

A really close friend of mine is behaving strangely. She keeps arranging lunches... instigated by her....then cancelling on the day. This annoys me as I have childcare every week.so only have two days free to see friends. So.im.often left with nothing to do. She is out and about often and so.i know it's not a health problem...she goes to the gym.5 times a week. I mentioned to her if it was a definite and she went in a huff. I'm wondering if I should just let things slide

This might be the wrong thread, Joanofarc

Perhaps it might be an idea to start another thread?

Couple of weak ones:

Did you know that wine can help you lose weight? With a glass in one hand and a bottle in the other, you cannot eat cake.

A balanced diet, however, is cake in one hand and a glass in the other.

Humour can always lighten an awful situation. At my mum’s funeral, we were all standing at the graveside when a really noisy train went rattling along the train line a couple of miles across the way. It was a very still day and the poor minister couldn’t make herself heard over the noise. She had to stop talking until it had gone by. We said we thought mum/granny must have arranged that to give us all a good laugh at such a sad moment. It would have been just like her sense of humour.

At my best friend’s burial, just as the vicar started to speak, two small planes flew quite low directly overhead. My husband said,
‘I did try to get the Red Arrows but they were booked up!’
How my friend would have loved that!
