Sense of humor

[paulaprimo]

i have a fantastic sense of humor and love to laugh.
i laugh at myself all of the time... but then again i have sooooo much to work with!
i don't think i ever say anthing serious, seriously!!

[justmetoo]

I'm in agreement with everyone above. A sense of humor is a very good thing to have. The thing is humor doesn't always come across in a medium like this. I've been told I have a very dry sense of humor, as dry as the Atacama Desert. I do see people being serious here (sometimes too serious about some of the silliest things), but also quite a bit of humor, too.

I earned six strands of beads at Mardi Gras and than gave them to my mother. I thought it was really funny "considering"

She on the other hand did not.

P.S Lots of alcohol was involved at the time and I don't usually drink.

I have been fortunate enough not to have a skirt declare it's independence and dive for the floor however a poor choice in stay-ups that ultimately didn't sent me scurrying for the corners of the grocery store to try and as tastefully as possible right them enough to get out of the store. Less comical for me perhaps but to any observers....

If I manage to lose my sense of humor they truly have won.

If we can't see the humor in this part of our lives then something is really wrong. Jaymee

I agree totally that we need to have a sense of humor about not just dressing, but about life in general. I believe that it is just too short to not look for the humor in a situation.

It is going to be a long struggle for us to get most of society to truly accept us "as is" and as such we do need to be cautious to not make ourselves out to be a joke.
We also need to be careful to not take ourselves too seriously lest be be seen as a militant fringe group.

As it pertains to this forum, I would caution that your posts, even with liberal dosages of emoticons, have no real context and things like sarcasm and hyperbole can and will be interpreted as serious comments and, as a couple of mine have done, can turn into real flame wars that will catch the ire of our wonderful moderators...

Yeap! We definitely need to laugh at ourselves once in a while. Not everything must be that bad anyway!

A friend and I were talking one day about my losing my house, and I laughed. He asked me how I could laugh at a thing like that, and I said, "You have to be able to laugh at yourself. Otherwise, you'll go nuts."
"Too late," was his reply.

I to in the past have had humours things happen, my daughter wearing my dress to a party, leaving items out etc. etc. But when reading the post one can't help but notice the different emotions. There's good stories and there's bad, just like everyday life, there's good and bad. I always try to see the positive in things, and maybe your right maybe we should light in up a little .

Hi Kate, Sometimes just looking in the mirror will give you a good laugh.

Been there and done that.

Hi Kate,

Very sound advice . . . if you can't laugh at yourself then you cannot have fun just being. I like the idea about learning from your mistakes.

This past summer I was wearing a very light(material wise) summer skirt, a top and sandals. I was taking the bus around the city and heading to lunch date with GG friends. Upon exiting the building I saw my bus barrelling down the street to the stop on the corner and if I missed it, I would have to wait another 20 minutes for the next one. So, I did what I would normally do . . . RUN! Now, I had never run in skirt before let alone a light material skirt on a windy day . . . don't jump ahead . There is something about prevailing winds, my running gait and of course a crowed bus stop which the fickle gods of fate could not ignore. Let's just say that the people at the bus stop know more about my choice of undies that day than I wished they did. I still got on the bus though.

Lesson learned . . . always run with one hand holding the hem of your skirt down

Hugs

Let's face it, we ARE pretty funny! And we have to take it in stride. (Our prettiest femme strides, of course. ) I'd love to hear more OOPS! stories. Here's one I've related before. AnneMarie is a GG friend who helps us with landscaping, but didn't know about Claire. So we are out digging and planting. I'm in drab, but with my forms in and a loose shirt not tucked in. I'm, bending over doing something and guess what plops out (I'm wearing a loose fitting bra, tsk tsk) ... She is working next to me, looks down and ... err .. I say something like "Guess I'd better put my boob back in." She: "Yes, I think you should..." (Don't you just love it when people are cool like that!)

So the next couple of times she checks out my chest, even though the girls aren't in.

Kate ,
I'd miss the forum for some of the funny stories people tell of their CDing experiences !
When I look back to the doom and gloom when I first joined, I have begun to see the lighter and funnier side of CDing ! I wish I could share some of my funny moments with my wife but in doing so may reveal something of my CDing she's not aware of !

As you may remember I've had some funny reveals while walking the dog, no way you can take that seriously when you've put yourself in that situation in the first place !

My attempts at humor have not done well and usually end up being deleted so that leaves me with being serious most of the time. Besides many of the posts here are serious to the poster and it's insulting to that person to make a joke of his/her post.

[KittyD]

Life is too short & too boring not to have a Sense of humor...
I always laugh at myself and let others laugh at me...!
But there again everyone has different levels of whats funny & whats not...

Yep, a sense of humor is mandatory for me, as I'm 6'5", not too hard to find humor in my situation. Then there are the things that I've tried over the years that didn't quite go as planned. My favorite learning experience is the time I decided to lighten my eyebrows a little. I got some bleach made for facial hair, slathered it onto my eyebrows and then left it on WAY too long, ended up with very light reddish blond eyebrows.

I've been cursed with a good sense of humor along with rapier wit. It's gotten me thrown off of a few panties-in-a-knot sites but, I'm not snuffing out that colorful side of my personality. I do temper my responses here to match the feeling of the thread. But, sometimes the humor in something is just glaring. Like the thread about piloting airplanes while dressed. All I could think about was a parachute and a dress blowing straight up to reveal heels, stockings and garter belt.

I don't know, that's kinda' funny. Isn't it?
