In today’s fast-paced world, where countless opportunities and distractions vie for our attention, the ability to decide what not to do is as crucial as choosing what to do. I recently read a book filled with stories about mishaps that landed people in the ER, Medical Mayhem, and though the exact sources couldn't always be documented since they happened years ago and in various parts of the world, they align with many stories told by first responders happening every day. One story that made me laugh involved a man in London who decided to install a hot tub in his one-bedroom apartment despit…

To tell you the truth, I’m exhausted. I mean, I did manage to hold my pee till first light, and that seemed to make my man happy, but it wasn’t easy. I mean, I am so thirsty all the time and I drank a whole bowl since bedtime. But wait, I’m forgetting my manners. Hello, my name is Pip. I’m a twelve year old Black English Labrador Retriever (see my perfect bicycle seat head). And yes, I said black. You can politely ignore all that gray. I am twelve and I live with two humans whose age totals over 150, so I earned every ounce of silver I wear. My man, who calls himself, Alan, and my lady…

From a very young age, Pamela Rand, 81, described herself as a comic, a clown, a funny kid who liked to make people laugh. She continues today to sing, dance, speak in multiple accents and create skits on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTock. Laughing at herself is her prime mode of comedy. In her early 20’s, Pamela went to Clown School in Paris where she journeyed within to discover her inner clown. Having lost both her mother and brother, this “school of movement, mind and theater” helped her regain her innocence- her silly side-and she learned that 20 minutes of daily laughter en…

These biochemical reactions can lead to improved mental clarity and a sharper memory, making smiling a simple yet effective wa…
