Question of the Week

What's the last thing that made you laugh out loud?

Well, I can't believe I'm even repeating this, and actually I sure didn't laugh about it when it happened, but what the heck...

The other day my husband and I had over an old teammate of his whom I had never met, and his wife and daughter. Before they arrived, my too-good-to-be-true hairdresser came over and cut everyone's hair before we go home to Maine. When she left I decided to go upstairs and change clothes because I felt like I had hair all over me. Right when I was changing, the doorbell rang, so in my haste, I skipped the panties and threw on some sweats. All was going well and then my oldest daughter came home and we started teasing each other in the kitchen while I was cooking. She thought she'd be funny so she ran up and pulled my pants down in front of everyone!! True story! There it was, my big, pasty white buttocks there for the lookin'!!! I almost died (so did Lexy). Anyway, days later when I told my mom we laughed until we cried! Chick Megan

The other night we had a couple over for dinner. I made a delicious homemade Blackberry Cobbler for dessert. To prove how good it was the couple actually licked their plates! Maybe you had to be there... Chick Cheryl

Last weeks poetry and this months weather! (In Minnesota, that is.) Chick Jeanette

This past weekend Diane and I got together and pretended we were radio show hosts. Uh-huh, like radio talk show hosts. We do some really strange things just to amuse ourselves, and we still like to play pretend as adults. We gathered newspapers articles from the last week and hit record on the tape player. (This was after we spent twenty minutes "setting up the studio.") Then we just talked about the issues of today, from family to how dumb Nicole Kidman is. (Diane thinks she brilliant, I think she's giddy.) We even got into a heated discussion about Bobby Hull and his marriages. I'm telling you, our conversations ran the gamut, as only the really good talk show hosts are able to do.

Then, we listened to it. Hysterical. Chick Karin

The story of my friend's escapade to get to St. Louis this past weekend which began with her toilet overflowing into her kitchen below and all of the rest of the hysterics including her two innings at the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. She traveled here for Memorial Day weekend with her three children and it was reminiscent of one of Karin's trips. I cannot relate the whole story, it is best told in the first person. Chick Susie

When I was reading the Chick Chat in the book Chicks Laying Nest Eggs (chapter 11). Megan had responded to a question from Karin regarding what is a "Setup." Megan says, "Setups: when your husband,who knows you are on a diet, leaves King size Kit Kat bars in the basement by the freezer. He then questions you about the missing ones later. When you deny deny deny, he pulls wrappers out of his pocket that you thought were deeply hidden in the trash." Roberta

I am from Illinois and I use the expression "heat lightening" when you see lightening at night and it is hot out but it is not raining. My husband has teased me about this because he has a degree in geology and did weather for the Air Force and he says there is no such thing as heat lightning! So the other night we were out walking our dogs, and he says with a grin, "Are we going to have any heat lightening tonight?" I got ticked off and told him there was such a thing and he had better quit teasing me! And he said,"So if I go home and type heat lightening on the computer it will pop up?" (Asked with an even bigger grin than before.) To which I said, "Yes!" After we got home I heard him calling me into the computer room. He pulled me in by the hand, and there on the computer was a weather web site and it had "heat lightening" as a term!! HA! He apologized for teasing me and I have to say, it was nice to be right!

I guy at work split his pants and we had to fix them with duct tape. He's 6' 7" tall and weighs 430 lbs... we couldn't find any new pants for him. The purchasing agent said every time he sat down she would bounce out of her chair. Life is pretty funny. Corky

This joke: Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on the sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She open it, looks in the mirror and say, "Hmmm, this person look familiar." The second blonde says, "Here let me see!" So the first blonde hands her the compact. The second one looks in the mirror and says, "You dummy, it's me!" Bonnie
