    Sounds like my family!
    I love your sense of humor! It sounds exactly how my family and friends are handling my diagnosis! A couple months back my oldest son came to check in on me on his daily checks and found me in pretty bad shape. He called EMS and they took me to the hospital. Several of the doctors said "You need to do something really nice for your son because he saved your life! You would have not made it through the night!" I was telling my younger son this who lives out of town. His comment was "Man, I am going to have to have a talk with him!! Doesn't he realize you are worth more dead than alive!" "Wow what a missed opportunity!" We have to laugh at it because if not it will take over our lives!

    Good for you, Coppercent!
    Love your sons' sense of humor! I'll bet they got it from you. I'm convinced that laughter is indeed strong medicine. And it may add to our lifespans. If not, it will surely add to the quality of those lives, at the very least. Keep us posted on how it's going... And keep on laughing!

    Excellent, Coppercent!
    I love your sons' sense of humor! (Bet they got it from you...) I am certain that laughter is strong medicine. And even if it doesn't extend our lives, it surely, at the very least, enhances them. Keep on laughing!

    life insurance jokes
    I must need a new family or something... everyone always gets depressed at my life insurance jokes!

    With as poor as we are now, I am the cancer lottery :)

    This one is bad...
    My wife and I always joked to lighten the moods when both of us were crying... But this one tope the cake... A little back ground info...My wife passed several months ago. Now back to the story, we were talking about old cars and such as men often do and some one asked if I still had my old truck, (anybody guessed where this is going) I said I would get rid of my wife wife before I got rid of my old truck! (how many times has a man said that) after I looked and saw the hurt and shock in everyones eyes I had to say... "oh! I did" I know my wife found it funny, I just hope that my farther in-law did as well.
