I decided to start a joke discussion because we as caregivers need our load lightened. We need to laugh at our own situations and those of others to take away the sting and pain we go through. If you have a joke that's racy then give a heads up at the beginning of your post for those who might not want to read your post. We need to avoid that kind of humor. Please don't come on this thread and berate anyone for their choices of humor. This is our place to let go of criticism. Thanks for sharing!!!! ;o)
Grunt, creak, groan, crack, crik, wheeze, snuck, ugh, pop, snap, oof, sigh, crack.

"Be good to your spouse,
remember right now they could poison you
and it would be counted as a covid death."
"If you're having a bad day just remember that
someone from your hometown is still trying to become a rapper."
"I'm glad you're learning to laugh at yourself.
That was kind of getting awkward for the rest of us."
In retrospect, that was stupid.
--The working title of my memoir.
"Don't be condescending.
(That's when you talk down to people.)"
"As the days go by, I think about how lucky I am...
that you're not here to ruin it for me."
"Most of my decisions are loosely based on
whether or not it's illegal or merely frowned upon."
"Just did a Tupperware inventory.
17 round containers. 2 square lids."
"I don't understand why you pay a shrink.
I'll tell you what's wrong with you for free."
"Them: I'll see you in h*ll!
Me: Call first. No pop-ins."
"A worm is a pretty disappointing prize
for getting up early if you ask me."
"If you're feeling a sudden calm,
it's because I took your voodoo doll out for a picnic
on a grassy hill.
You're welcome."
First one from Gary Larson, USA: Kangaroo to co-jumper: “Just jump, you fool. No need to shout Boing Boing Boing!”
Second one from an English 19c romantic novel, looking for down-under color: “They sat quietly in the shade of the gum trees, listening to the low moaning of the kangaroos”. (Kangaroos don’t make any noise at all, but when we have them just outside the window of the farm sunroom, we always try to pick the “low moaning”. No success so far)
Who is not buying this stuff?
Sometimes the reason is you’re stupid, and make bad decisions.
No dear, I drink straight from the bottle!
Those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly and watch everyone else repeat it!
Just Think!
Can do do me a favor?
Can you close your eyes for a second?
While I deal with this problem
We still fly on a broomstick because…
We are flexible like that!
So I went home
"To whoever has my voodoo doll:
Take some of the stuffing out,
I'm trying to lose weight!
Thanks a lot!"
