After writing that last post, I sure do need to laugh. I figure we should work it in this blog one way or another. With the new month coming up, I thought I would change up the supplement giveaway and find more opportunities to laugh.
There may be nothing that helps our brain health quite as much as laughter. For the next couple of weeks you can enter to win by making us laugh out loud or by simply amusing us. Leave a comment on this post with a funny story, a link to your own funny story, or a link to something really funny on the Internet. Alternatively, tell us about something you did that made you laugh.
It really should be family-friendly, though I would sure hate to exclude innuendo. 
If you have a blog and have a funny story there, feel free to link to that. Write a funny story if you have not already done so.
You can leave multiple funnies in multiple comments. I will select a winner at random from the comments on this post late next week (around August 7).
In the coming week we will have two winners, both of whom will receive the fizzy magnesium and a copy of the book.
I’ll start by leaving some silly pictures we took this week. I use a Mac and have software called “Photo Booth” which can provide hours of entertainment, as you can see. I actually have a few here that can make children cry. Alastair really did cry after seeing one of them. I’ll post the family friendly pictures.
Giveaway results
I’m headed to the Sacramento/Davis area tomorrow and so I am going to announce two winners now, the weekly allotment. Both will get the jumbo pack of Omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, and B vitamins. They simply must contact me within the next ten days with a U.S. mailing address to claim them.
It’s just as well I’m re-working the contest rules because Twitter has truly gotten out of control. I wondered if an Internet marketer or diet pill salesman would win the contest after following me on Twitter. But, in fact, no. We do have a winner from Twitter but she is a dyed-in-the-wool real food Tweeter who everyone should follow just to stay up on the news. Our second winner comes from posting a comment on this blog. The lucky winners:
SeasLife on Twitter (who had massive amounts of tickets in the colander)
Carrie who commented with the now-hilarious: “If you’re too down and exhausted to read all through this properly, will you still be eligible for the drawing? I’d like to be in the drawing please.” Supplementation on the way Carrie!
Congratulations ladies!

Your lucky Amanda, I’m going to post this story here even before I post it on my blog!
As the Bible so plainly states: “Laughter IS good medicine!!!” Learn to laugh and especially learn to laugh at yourself!!
I have a 3 yr old broodie hen. She loves to set on anything that she thinks will hatch out a little peep.
My current 4 hens have been far less than productive…in fact they are on notice!!!
I thought that just maybe I had a blacksnake sneaking in and stealing my eggs. So, I put the trusty old golf balls in the nests to see if a snake would take the bait.
What I discovered is that I do not have a sneaky snake, I have lazy hens. My broodie hen decided that the golf balls were eggs and she has been setting on them for over 1 week!!!!! What a stupid chicken!
I wonder when she’s going to catch on.
That is a *great* story Diane. I’m glad you can leave a comment. Apparently there have been problems. I don’t have email access now either. I *do* need to laugh.
Amanda: You may well find this little kindergarten anecdote to be a little on the crude side, but it still gives me a giggle when I read it again.

Julie,
That’s hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

Here’s another good one…I get together with a friend who SUFFERS from bipolar. We try to encourage each other and I try to teach her about food! We got on the subject of cows and AI. For those of you out of the cow world as I was 7 months ago…AI is artificial insemination!
It seems as though when her kids were in elementary school, the teacher asked the children to draw a picture of what their daddies did for work. One little guy drew a picture of his daddy should high in a cow!!! (and for those of you who don’t know….the hole that the arm goes in is the butt!). The teacher moved on rather quickly to another child!
The good part of this story is that I found an AI tech who lives a couple miles away!!!
LOL. We should find an AI video online somewhere.
Oh, I already watched one…I guess I’ll post a blog! Everything you wanted to know about AI!
Cardiologist’s Funeral
A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside.
The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart for ever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, “I’m sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral..I’m a gynecologist.”
The proctologist fainted.
How to catch a polar bear: cut a hole in the ice, put a bunch of peas around the hole. When the polar bear comes to take a pea you kick him in the ice hole…..
Oh I have one more! This happened this morning. I was getting my kids ready to go to camp and making sure their sweatshirts had their names in them. One did, one didn’t, so I got out my Sharpie and started to write my son’s name and phone number on the hood. When I was done, I picked up the whole shirt to look at it, and oops.. I wrote the name and phone number on the OUTSIDE of the hood. Oh my… BTW, rubbing alcohol works wonders for getting out Sharpie.
Hi Amanda,
I just now saw that you announced me as one of the winners for the supplement give-away. I contacted you on facebook with my address info. Hope I’m not too late!!!!
Thank u so much. This is a huge blessing!
My then 2.5 year old son and I spent the day waiting for the dishwasher repair man. The repair guy shows up, brings in a tool box, sits it on the floor. Jonathan’s eyes light up, “Oh, wow!” he says.
Repairman lies down on the floor on his side to remove the front panel under the dishwasher door. Jonathan lies down on the floor beside him looking at what he’s doing.
I say, “Jonathan, honey, please be very careful.”
The repairman stops what he’s doing and shoots me this weird look.
“What is your son’s name?” queries the repairman.
“Jonathan,” I reply.
“Oh,” laughs the repairman, “mine too.”
So embarrassing–I freaked him out because he thought I called him honey and told him to be careful!
