What made you smile or laugh today? Part IV

[AngelWithAShotgun]

Nice! There should be an active handicraft thread here where people could showcase the cool things they make.

Is woodworking considered handicraft?

 

[seela]

I could make one, if you thought someone besides just me would post in it.

I’m sure other people would post, too! I’m currently crocheting a little. And I’m also learning to knit, so even though it’s a really long time until I’ll have made anything worthy of posting, I could provide updates about my woes with the stitches and purls…

Definitely! Pictures and tales of polishing the wood might be better suited in another thread though.

I did it! Please, by all means, post anything you like in the thread.

Also, if you can knit on needles, you're doing better than me. I can only knit on looms, lol.

Checking in with my kids for NY's. Trying to be subtle about getting across be safe and sane. They knew what I was doing.

And just like that, she developed a crush…

I never call my lit friends out by name......until now! @Anastasia1999

Me: Don't play coy with me woman! Every man on Lit has the hots for you. We have a support group about you that meets bi-weekly and it's standing room only.
Her: Pardon?
Me: An arena full of men crushing on you to the point of distraction.
Her: So.....you're kidding me about the support group right?



I fucking love you Princess!

Where does this group meet? Is it a HUGE setting? Like the Hollywood Bowl?

 

[muddler35]

Conversation with another friend. I’m just starting to get to know a mutual friend and I wanted her to assure new friend that I was okay.

Me: Hey, I need a favor.
Her: Oooo. What kind of favour?
Me: Not like that you perv! Geez!
Her: I’m really bad at burying corpses. I’ve tried.

I love that her first thought was He’s either horny or he has murdered someone, and she was on board for either.

What?! There is a support group? Why hasn't anyone told me?

'No, I am not crying......... I am a grown man!
I just happen to have something in my eye.
Yeah the other one as well.'

I feel so left out.....

I apologize for the oversight. Welcome! Grab a cup of coffee and make yourself comfortable.

I’m probably just very tired but I’ve found myself laughing to the point of tears and sore stomach muscles several times in the last 24 hours at the antics of my family.

Last night my husband had a sore back and I tried to help him stretch it, both standing up and me helping him twist the mid back while leaning against me.
He towers over me and it probably looked hilarious and then he said, in a detatched, all-knowing doctor in the ER voice: ”Well Mr Althea, how did we get twisted into a pretzel?”
And I just lost it, and started to laugh until I cried and he followed suit.
Then we hear youngest daughter at the door ”What is wrong with you two and why is mom crying?”
We then demonstrated husbands stretching skills and she laughed and cried too.

And at breakfast oldest Miss Althea was cutting her breadroll in her usual, ineffective way that makes you wonder how she still has all her fingers, when her loving father starts doing the voice of the poor breadroll being repeatedly stabbed…

I’ll count these as core workouts.

Winter moon. I live in a wooded area...sipping my coffee in the dark, by the light of the moon is a winter pleasure. Slurp. Good morning, Lit.

Drinking coffee on the patio, watching 2 squirrels mate or fight, who knows?

Just ordered my day collar... SUPER excited but also a bit anxious. I hope it'll be perfect. Looking forward to choosing the proper play collar as well.

This happened back in November but I relayed it in another thread.

A couple of months ago I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I accidentally kicked one of the open drawers of my nightstand.

A loud BUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZ sound pervaded the entire bedroom! Scared the absolute fuck outta me and seemed to be shaking the whole bedroom!!!

I had to turn on the light, blinding myself to figure out what was going on. After 10-15 seconds, I deduced that it was our hitachi magic wand buzzing away. I turned it off.

My poor wife was worst off - she was startled out of a very deep sleep. She was terrified (and I wasn’t much better having ptsd).

What made it turn on?

I pretty quickly put together what had happened…

My wife and I are empty-nesters and frequently just leave our magic wand out for easy access. My wife had put it in one of the semi open drawers in my nightstand and it was situated perfectly, so that when I lightly kicked the drawer going back to bed, the HI button was wedged perfectly where the tip of the drawer was, turning on the magic wand!!

The odds of the Hi/Off/Lo switch being perfectly wedged in that spot make the odds seem pretty low, but it’s a 100% true story.

We were both pretty tripped out… I couldn’t get back to sleep (surprise) but the next morning we got a damn good laugh out of it.

Thought I’d share.

That’s a good one!

Smiles for today:

1) “the male equivalent of a cocktail dress”
2) doing some successful sleuthing at work
3) getting an email from my Persian teacher - the course starts next week!
4) finishing the ribbed part of the sock I’m knitting and setting a date with a friend when she’ll teach me the next moves
5) TLC on my toe

What is the male equivalent of a cocktail dress?

 

[melimelissa]

I just thought you might want to know
They've displayed a butt plug in Bordeaux
It's too big for me
But I think you will see
It looks rather strange when on show

Yeah. Inquiring minds...

My nails turned out perfect
The neighbors kid was up during regular hours for a change.
dinner was easy and yummy.
remembering again that it’s nice not to be a mindless sheep. So much more joy to be found.
