jaminkw Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 This morning I was reading a newspaper article extoling the virtues of laughter. It cited things like--13 muscles are used to smile but 47 are used to frown so it's not as likely to make a wrinkle. 15 minutes of laughter equals the benefit of 2 hours sleep. Studies show a sense of humor can add 8 years to your life. You get the idea. The article made me recall a year ago when I was first told my cancer was in remission. My husband tentatively suggested we put aside all this cancer stuff for awhile. Taken aback, I suspected part of that "stuff" was this website. I stayed off for maybe a day and a half. During one of my sessions back on, I was laughing hilariously out loud. I caught my husband looking at me out of the corner of my eye. Then it happened again, I explained the best I could that Shelli was having a yard sale and Patti was driving the Keg bus that was picking up passengers along the way going to the sale. I named people and mentioned a few animals that were already aboard. I hoped they would make it to Key West. From this time on, my husband encouraged me to join the other crazy people on this site because he could witness how much good it did me to laugh like that. He even took to reminding me when it was time for the Tuesday chat. I thought that was sweet. I've not yet laughed outloud reading or posting on Facebook. I wanted to share this with those of you who miss those days as I do. And to those of you who weren't here for it, I'm sorry.

Bruce u Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Judy even reading your story about the Keg bus made me chuckle. Alot of people would check to see if there was anything new posted. We had a great laugh on chat over it as well. I recall getting back from a holiday at the farm to find there were over 90 replies to my farm pass. Summer is almost here and I think it's time to get the Keg bus rolling again. I'm sure there are new members here now that would enjoy a few laughs as well.

beatlemike Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Judy,you remind me of someone that has a very good sense of humor. Not eveyone has that and I feel so sorry for them. They are so serious about everything and you can tell when they do laugh they are not comfortable with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 This is what happens after you get on the Kegbus!! Be care ful not to become like this though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muriel Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Clearly, the Golden will be a better driver than our last one. You know who I mean. The sweet lady who drove a million miles an hour and let poor Denise, clinging to the outside of a window, fall off in some godforsaken place. Should there be another bus ride, lets be careful just what kind of animals we let on the bus. For example, I'm allergic to cats. I'm glad the bus has been located. I was afraid that it was missing or that one of our members had stolen it. Again, you know the many suspects. Yes, we do need some fun and some laughter. I'll leave it to someone else, more creative than me, to start something. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think our last driver got sent to the back of the bus for missing too many turn off's. Great replacement Katie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dear Patti, are you going to let them get away with this! Judy in Key West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Maybe we need a guard for the Keg bus?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce u Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 As long as he lets the passengers into the Keg. Richard may not be happy if he can't have a glass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I aint tapping that Keg though!! He looks Mad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My mom was still telling jokes this morning...may she RIP...they are important. Just scratch the dog behind the ears, his guarding will be over and you can tap the keg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraL Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I hear rumour that the bathroom on the keg bus is being upgraded to a "spa" like facility. So all of us lovely ladies have lots of room to keep ourselves looking good. It will be a place to step away from the mayhem of all the crazy riders! I wonder where we will be going first? Hey Patti, any ideas about where to go? And how is the bathroom renovation coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaminkw Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Patti, is surprisingly quiet. We may have to go with Katie's driver. He looks nice. Think he's as good a driver as Patti LOL. Wouildn't have to be too good, would he/she. Been thinking about where we could go. I thought maybe a rescue--any ideas of who what might need rescuing? Anyone???

dscherer Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Packed and at the curb!!!! Where are you? I need this now more than ever! Hurry I live in Wisconsin and it is still cold......lets go somewhere warm! Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyman35 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Ready to roll here too. I am packed as well. The driver will need to stop for me this time. I don't think I have the strength to grab the hook this time. Jayla is packed too. She is older now and can handle longer trips. She also know's a lot more songs then Patty Cake now and can cut a CD if needed. Where is the bus pulling out from now anyway?
