Loose Leaf Notes

I know the feeling... I think mine has gone missing this morning, also. The image you put with this post suggests that at least some semblance of a sense of humor remains, though. I'm sure it will be back soon.

I hope you find it again soon. I regularly lose my sense of humour and can completely relate to how frustrating it is.

Sometimes my sense of humor hides in the closet behind the vacuum cleaner...did you look there?

Behind the vaccum cleaner? I thought it had gone down the drain!

I lose mine a lot this time of year!

Thanks for the visit, colleen. The room was really more red than pink, but I had to lighten the pics a little and it changed the color.

Oh no! Retrace your steps, put on the ruby red slippers again, you must find it!

Just imagine if your sense of humor had filled up the sink and over flowed...then you'd really be in a mess. Thank goodness we can pull the plug every once in awhile and let it drain...I guess it's our body telling us it's time to let go for a bit. Have a Happy Thanksgiving if I don't get back to you before then. Fondly, Ginnie

It may be the clouds, the lack of great sunshine, the cold north wind and the sad leaves blowing along all the highways. They looks so brown and shriveled and old. Some things about winter are grand, but right now, the in between is hard to take.

*Employee of the Month*

Chuck Rogers, a self employed marketing consultant, has won his company's 'Employee of the Month Award' for a record 23 months in a row. Said Rogers, "I began the award program nearly two years ago when my psychologist and business coach suggested that I needed to create a company plan for maintaining employee moral and building self-esteem."

Rogers, who works alone from his home office, has received 100% of the votes for the 'Employee of the Month Award' since its inception. Said Rogers, "It feels really good every time I win the award. I am always surprised and flattered when the winner is announced. But the best part is that I get to use the special parking spot set aside for the winner. It is right next to the house. You can't imagine what a benefit that has been!"

I bought these new boots. They are made from possum and deer hide and
they feel great when I wear them. There is just one problem. When I see
headlights in the dark I get this uncontrollable urge to run into the
middle of the road and just stand there.

I have a stepladder. It's a very nice stepladder. But it's sad that I never knew my real ladder.

How to Get Time Off from Work

Two factory workers were talking. "I know how to get some time off from
work." said the man."How do you think you will do that?" said the other
one. He proceeded to show her...by climbing up to the rafters, and
hanging upside down.
The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked
him what on earth he was doing? "I'm a light bulb" answered the guy.
"I think you need some time off," said the boss. So, the man jumped down
and walked out of the factory. The second worker began walking out too.
The boss asked her where did she think she was going?
"Home. I can't work in the dark."

The old farmer tried fish farming once, but had to give it up when his combine kept getting stuck in the lake.

There once was an actor who was obsessed with doing trap door gags. Some critics thought he would keep doing them the rest of his life, while others said he was just going through a stage.

These should be on the front page! Thanks for the smiles, Stu_art. Do you collect jokes? Have you considered starting a humor blog?

I can totally relate to this post...damn my sensitivity

Boy do I ever know that feeling. It sucks, and I hope you get your wicked sense of humor back PRONTO.

Here's wishing you a wry sandwich.

Last week I had one of the best days of my life and turned around to have one of the worst and I cried. I told Martin it wasn't that it was so bad (what happened) it was just that I had been so very happy the day before and I didn't like losing that.
My sense of humor will come back when my nose unstops and my heat cuts on!
I hope you find yours today just around the bend!

I blame it's disappearance on world funk conditions.

The music obviously. ;)

Still, it's bound to turn up underfoot when you least expect it. Probably scare the daylights out of each other but when you and your humor come to with Joe fanning you both and giving you water, things should start to sort themselves out.

(Good ones, stuart!)
I like the thought that the feelings could be buried and sprout up any time...you do never know when they might break the surface of the ground, do you? Hope it's soon.
My sense of humour gets me through tons...I don't know where I'd be or how I'd put the rotten stuff in perspective if I didn't have that.

Watch tv for a bit = sooner or later a silly commercial will bring back the humor... :)

It'll turn up again, Colleen....but make sure you're paying attention and listening/looking for it. It does have a way of slipping away from us every now and again, and usually when we least expect it. Keep searching....it's not lost, just taking a hiatus. And if all else fails.......get the plunger for that sink and force it back up again!

I'm with you... bad feelings left unexamined transmogrify. :)
I'd rather examine them, get underneathe them, and dismantle them.

I wonder how many people noticed that cushion, but not the humor?

I've been so busy running around like a turkey with my head cut off, I hadn't thought to look to see if my sense of humor had taken to the hills.

Hmmm.

I'll worry about it later, I think.

In the meantime, a very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Colleen.

One's sense of humor does seem to come and go, doesn't it? And sometimes it is mystifying...I hope you get it back, my dear...and if you happen to find mine out there---tell it I miss it!
