Dating: No laughter, no love
It has been a long week, people. From earthquakes, hurricanes, sad and heartbreaking headlines, the one thing that really can be the best medicine is laughter. I’ll be honest, dudes with no sense of humor don’t fare well with me. I am pretty sure I’m not the bee’s knees for them, either.
I have this theory that people who lack a sense of humor probably have something to hide. I have no scientific evidence of this, mind you. I just don’t trust people that don’t laugh. Have you ever tried to go on a date with a humorless individual? It’s like sitting in the dentist’s chair, only not as messy.
Do you rank great sense of humor as an important thing or are you fine with being the comic relief in a relationship?
Have you ever been on a date with someone and you laughed the entire time?
Blog prize awarded to the funniest story/joke/comment of the day. You guys decide the winner.
We all can use a little humor these days, don’t you agree?
Happy FUN Friday everyone!

Ok so let’s see if the censors flag this one…this is the last joke my 71 year old mother told me before she passed….
What’s the difference between a Blonde and a washing machine?
The washing machine won’t follow you around after you dump a load in it.

Two Cannibals
Two cannibals are walking along the beach; the first is an older, experienced cannibal, the second is brand new to cannibalism. As they walk, they find a dead man lying on the beach. “Ah, here is your first lesson,” says the older cannibal. “I’ll start at the head, and you start at the feet and we will meet in the middle.” After they’ve begun eating, the older cannibal says, “So, how are you doing down there?” and the younger cannibal replies, “I’m having a ball!” The older cannibal yells,
“Slow down!! You’re eating too fast!!”

Purp – A piece of cake a day keeps the flat abs away.
How about a piece of cake and treadmill walk a day, keeps the flab away. Cake and treamill combo can be good

I like that PR! I don’t eat piece of cake and I don’t have flat abs. Oh well. Cake isn’t the only culprit.

@Celisea ~ ummmm people laugh at me saying I have a pooch, but I do have one. My goal is either reduce the pooch, regulate the pooch, never grow the pooch.

not regulate…stablize is a much better word!
I’m not talking to PR anymore today.

PR – How come what you like doesn’t matter? I would think what we all like matters….at some point and to some degree
Leggs – I feel ya….I’ve seen plenty of skinny/small folks with one.

I wonder if the blog is truly on it’s last leg. It seems like such an effort to get participation. If there are topics where the pages are turning, it’s usually someone getting offended but those seem like the best days to me. If it’s all love, hugs, bugs in a rug…the day pushes slow. If it’s something that folks just don’t do or get or can relate to it’s almost silent.

Some days I can’t…I’m too busy. The days I do a great deal, I fall behind….I’m sure that’s another reason for some…folks are working. Guess truthfully we all should be.
Okay I’m rambling now.

@PR, honeysuckle…no, you didn’t say anything bad. Really nothing bad to say. I said I wasn’t talking to you because I have said many times I have a little pooch on here. That’s what I mean when I said “it’s been documented” and now yom come back with “what’s documented?” Remind me of the 3 Stooges, “Who’s on First….” (lololol).

Friday’s are mostly slow days arent they? I am sure during the winter months the activity will pick up as outside is less attractive.

Fridays do seem kinda slow. I think a lot of folks take off early or the entire day. I know I take every other Friday off.
I think, too, that we get more conversation when there are topics that folks feel passionate about but have differing viewpoints. To me, that’s not love bugs and hugs, that’s good healthy debate. But the inappropirate, mean, (race baiting) stuff, I can do without all day long….

Leggs, I have never seen you say that before, and I said that surpsringly. Well you still look finer than frogs hair
Finer than a bacon and egg biscuit covered in gravy.

ITL – To me, that’s not love bugs and hugs, that’s good healthy debate
That’s not the same…as it relates to what I was saying. I said the only days that seem to turn pages are the days where there’s heated discussion but those are the days someone gets offended.
I said love, hugs, bugs in a rug are slow days where it’s kumbaya
Celisea

I like healthy debate…it’s just not healthy when folks lurk about 2/3rds of the day and THEN jump in and make insinuations and TRY to hit below the belt. That’s what I meant by turning offensive.

Is it good to bring up race relations when on a first day with someone outside your race?

Leggs, let me see..hmmm I need a closer look. On the race relation question, if it is brought up on the first date I would think it was an issue for the person bringing it up, but then again it may not be because they are actually on a date
Leggs
August 26th, 2011
3:22 pm
I was thinking if a second date should happen, that would be a good time to bring it up, not necessarily the first date.
Purple Reign
August 26th, 2011

I would think that it would not be brought up at all untill things got serious.

Leggs, I would think that if two people agreed to interracial dating, they are already open-minded about race relations and the subject wouldn’t be a big deal.
Leggs
August 26th, 2011
3:33 pm
@cba ~ that part is a given. But wouldn’t you want to know of this is the person’s first time in that particular dating pool, or if they’ve swam in those waters before. That’s what I mean. Nothing more.
Purple Reign

cba, that’s why I said until they get serious. To the point of introducing each other to family who may not be so hip on the idea.

Leggs

I just didn’t think it should be brought up on the first date. Figured sit back and get to know each other. Second date you can find out if this is a persons first time or not….just wondering if it’s important to see if this is a person’s first time…that’s all.

Having a few interracial marriages/relationships in my family, I must admit I am reluctant to openly discuss my opinons about certain topics.
