Your Dying Spouse 763 - Keep The Laughter Going {Five Minute Friday}

This was going to be a totaly different post, containing the answers we all need forhealing divions, hanling panemics, and finding in masques a fashion-statement (yes, masques)...but it's been a really bad week, and I kinda misplaced my notes.

Bad week, as in, I can barely eat, and have not the breath to even whistle (which is important as I used a whistle...yes, that one...to get Barb's attention so I could sign to her, since speech is gone).

The one thing I have learned through this whole...thing...is that you have to intentionally keep your humour up. It's perishable; let the laughter die, and resurrection can be real hard as the gloom-sharks close in.

You've got to laugh, and you have to keep the joke-tank full. Because otherwise, you look at a world you are leaving, an you want to cry...and those tears, maybe you can't stop.

It's really worth it, and worth is the Five Minute Friday prompt this week.

So, a hypothetical question...if Jesus had, at the Cana weing, turned water into Bud, would that have been His first beericle? (Some researchers, BTW, contend that the daily 'spoilproof' beverage was actually a kin of beer, far cheaper than wine).

And another...does Swiss cheese come from the milk of holy cows?

And if anyone's still with me...

This is just disaster,

this is just a mess,

so with fashion as my master,

I shall put on a dress,

apply a bit of lip-gloss,

scarf by C. Dior,

and giving bouncy hair a toss

head on out the door

to neighbours’ vast amazement,

friends’ horrified surprise;

they’ll hide out in their basements

to protect their eyes

from what they should have never seen,

and it’s not even Halloween.

And so, music from Boy George and Culture Club, with Karma Chameleon....I wonder if our world today needs some of the spirit of the music and the video?

I do try to answer each comment in a timely fashion, but with Internet providers really stretched, I have only about half of the access I once did. Please bear with me!
