Laughter is the best medicine
NOW THAT WE ARE IN SEPTEMBER….
Let's see what some of us would like to forget about August
CELEBRATING THE DOG DAYS OF AUGUST
Especially since August is done.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL STORIES ARE NUMBINGLY ABUNDANT
Which means it’s time for a diversion - a look back at the best of past summers’ worst.
HERE’S A WAY TO GET THE WEEK STARTED ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Remember what made July so....mid-summer
SUMMER’S SLIPPING AWAY
Before getting immersed in “Back-to-School” stories….relax

Time to relax, pop a cold one and watch what some might rather forget

YOU DESERVE A BREAK
Settle back and laugh....or wince...

And raise a glass to those embarrassing moments waiting to happen in 2023
LET US GIVE THANKS
For a blooper-filled November

Not everybody would nominate themselves for the blooper reel

But first, pop a beverage and have some laughs.
IT’S THE SPO-O-OKY TIME OF YEAR
Laugh…or recoil in horror. Your call.
SHAKE OFF THOSE MID-WEEK BLAHS
We all could use the laugh. Unless we show up in this.

THE WEEKEND IS NEARLY HERE….GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK
