I decided to start a joke discussion because we as caregivers need our load lightened. We need to laugh at our own situations and those of others to take away the sting and pain we go through. If you have a joke that's racy then give a heads up at the beginning of your post for those who might not want to read your post. We need to avoid that kind of humor. Please don't come on this thread and berate anyone for their choices of humor. This is our place to let go of criticism. Thanks for sharing!!!! ;o)

Me: Alexa, what's the weather going to be this weekend?
Alexa: Why? Where do you think you're going?
I had a lot of dough in that house.
The first guy slept with Brant and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot.
We said, "Man, what happened to you? He said, "Brant snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."
The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.
We said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful! He said, 'Man, that Brant shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night."
The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy, a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said. We couldn't believe it. We said, "Man, what happened?"
He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Brant into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night.. Brant sat up and watched me all night."
With age comes wisdom.
It read: 350 degrees.
That can't be right, he gobbled.
Sadly, our pet turkey has passed away and we are holding a
visitation. In lieu of flowers, please bring a salad or a side dish.
Did you know that whenever I pass by the section of the grocery store that sell live lobsters, crabs and other fish I practically start bawling?
Hubs always laughs cause I always say prayers for them as we walk by.
An 85 year old man was visiting his doctor for his annual check-up.
“So Mr Jenkins, how are you keeping?” the doctor inquired.
“Doctor, I’ve never felt better,” Mr Jenkins responded. “I’ve even married my 18 year old girlfriend recently and she’s now pregnant with my child. So, how about that then?”
The doctor considered this momentarily and then said, “Let me tell you a story Mr Jenkins. A friend of mine was a keen hunter. One day he went out in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up an umbrella instead of his gun.”
“Really?” said Mr Jenkins.
“Yes,” said the doctor. “Anyway, he was in the woods when suddenly a very large grizzly bear appeared in front of him. He raised his umbrella, pointed it at the bear and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?”
Dumbfounded the old man said, “No Doc, what?”
“The bear dropped dead in front of him,” the doctor replied.
“No Doc, that can’t be right.” said the old man. “That’s impossible! Someone else must have shot the bear.”
The doctor smiled and said, “Exactly!”
"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."
When I returned, the doctor was shocked that I lost nearly 20 pounds.
"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"
I nodded, "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day."
"From hunger, you mean?" the Doc asked.
"No, from skipping."
Excuse me? I was told there would be a special place for me here?
"Well, Angus," said the Englishman, "At my local in London , the Red Lion, the barman will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two."
"Ahhh, dat's nothin'," said the Irishman, "back home in my favorite pub, the moment you set foot in the place, they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like, actually. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see that you gets laid, all on the house!"
The Englishman and Scotsman were suspicious of the claims. The Irishman swore every word was true.
Then the Englishman asked, "Did this actually happen to you?"
"Not meself, personally, no," admitted the Irishman, "but it did happen to me sister quite a few times."

The largest condom factory in the United States burned down. President Trump was awakened at 4 am by the telephone.
"Sorry to bother you at this hour, Sir, but there is an emergency! I've just received word that the Durex factory in Washington has burned to the ground. It is estimated that the entire USA supply of condoms will be used up by the end of the week."
Trump: "Oh d*mn! The economy will never be able to cope with all those unwanted babies. We'll be ruined. We'll have to ship some in from Mexico .."
Telephone voice says, "Bad idea... The Mexicans will have a field day with this one. We'll be a laughing stock. What about the UK ?"
Trump: "Okay, I'll call Boris Johnson and tell him we need five million condoms, ten inches long and three inches thick. That way, they'll continue to respect us as Americans."
Three days later, a delighted President Trump ran out to open the first of the 10,000 boxes that had just arrived. He found it full of condoms, 10 inches long and 3 inches thick, exactly as requested..

Also, I wrote a book about when we took care of my mom, with Alzheimer's, called, "My Mother Has Alzheimer's and My Dog Has Tapeworms: A Caregiver's Tale." One of the funny anecdotes in there is when my mom wanted to tell someone that she pounded the pavement, looking for a job (an accounting job) in NY, after college, but what she said was," I walked the streets of NY, if you know what I mean." My mom might have been a sweet talker, but she wasn't a street walker. Here's to the benefits of humor!
How lovely that you wrote a book about your experience.
Your mom sounds adorable!
LOL 😂 LOVE IT!!!
