Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 That's something to be proud of !??? Maybe if you live in a trailer park, or in the hood. Come on people, we're supposed to improve ourselves as we get older and more mature. Have a little pride in yourself. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 We all have to find ways to cope. And that is just 's way.........I do not believe at all that she was being disrespectful to anybody else who may feel differently regarding the Subject. Just because she is able to find Humor in it all, doesn't mean she likes it, or that she would prefer not to have the problem, but because she does, she has to find a way to cope with it. Atleast that's how I took her responses to this Subject......if that's not how you feel, , please feel free to say so. Me Nebraska, USA mymocha@... > That's something to be proud of !???

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 You pretty much got it, Brande. I have a sense of humor, one that is easy to trigger, and I use it. I joke. A lot. It isn't only a coping mechanism for TCS, but for life. It certainly is much nicer to go through life thinking things are funny than it is to suffer through it humorless. At least that's how it appears to me. --- Brande wrote: > We all have to find ways to cope.

I had that choice, but now I am getting off topic, so get the best out of life that you possibly can and humor certainly helps. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 A sense of humour can backfire in the work environment though! I tried to be all cheerful and getting on with it when I went back to work after my surgery, despite the agonising and still ongoing pain (even now I have bad days), so my colleagues thought " oh she is fixed, back to normal, no problems " , when in fact I wasn't and I had to take yet more sick leave to overcome new problems I encountered by pushing myself too soon. On the other hand, in reference to my deformed feet, I make jokes about them, and this usually diffuses the usual situation of people staring at them, rather than being all aggressive and saying " what the h*ll are you staring at " !

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I am cheerful at work, too, even when I feel like hell. Even when I'd rather be at home curled up in a ball. It helps me to be cheerful, but it does give the impression that I'm just fine. I have monkey feet. I have skinny, almost skeletal, feet with long toes that don't touch each other. I joke about my monkey toes all the time. I also joke about my monkey ears (they stick out). I guess I joke about everything. It's my little way of controlling the situation. If I can joke about it, other people won't feel they have to pretend not to notice. And with passing gas? I'm sorry, passing gas is funny. Little kids, as far as I'm concerned, are the best gauge for what is truly funny because they don't have all hang ups that our society seems to like to impose on people. And when a little kid passes gas, it is the funniest thing in the world to them. it's a normal body function with an awesome sound, and if it happens, you can't undo it. Might as well make it a big joke! --- " AB Bunton, Electrical & Electronic Engineering " wrote: > A sense of humour can backfire in the work > environment though! > > I tried to be all cheerful and getting on with it > when I went back to work > after my surgery, despite the agonising and still > ongoing pain (even now I > have bad days), so my colleagues thought " oh she is > fixed, back to normal, > no problems " , when in fact I wasn't and I had to > take yet more sick leave > to overcome new problems I encountered by pushing > myself too soon. > > On the other hand, in reference to my deformed feet, > I make jokes about > them, and this usually diffuses the usual situation > of people staring at > them, rather than being all aggressive and saying > " what the h*ll are you > staring at " ! > > Nina > Bristol, UK > > > --On 03 May 2006 01:33 -0600 Rick > wrote: > > > Weaver said the following on 5/2/2006 > 10:08 PM: > >> You pretty much got it, Brande.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 That is so true. Just a positive attitude too can do that, nonetheless a sense of humor. Both are still good to have.
