There are plenty of reasons why I love Writing Dot Com. The activities, the constructive feedback, the community feeling.
And the shared laughter.
That is one of the best aspects of this site, for me. That we're friends, we meet online almost every day, we share what has been happening - and we laugh about it. |

Dear Reader,
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
Charlie Chaplin
Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
Oscar Wilde
So, right here on Writing Dot Com, I've found my own little cocoon of laughter and friendship. I visit almost every day, and am invariably chuckling after a few seconds of clicking in. It's called "Steev's Place" , and anyone is welcome.
As I type, the topic of discussion is about CHOCOLATE and whether anyone who can make chocolate last for more than three days is from this planet or a different one. Coming to think of it, it's not a funny discussion at all. Chocolate one of the main food groups, and those who hoard it and hide it in a secure location, so that it can last three days or more, are just plain anti-social. Quite a meaningful discussion, there.
And once, when I confessed that I'd stolen a slice of pizza and gotten scolded for it, my friends on the in-and-out cheered me up with words of solace. They said they liked lemon cheesecake flavoured ice-cream (hey, I didn't say it, ask those consoling friends of mine!) and maybe I should've stolen some of that instead. Well, they didn't actually say I should've stolen some, but I had to make this discussion funny, so I added that in.
As you can see, we talk about food a lot. But we talk about family, too.
Earlier, we had discussed a Dad who is soon going to be a grandpa. He insisted that he would make a super-cool grandpa. We cheered him, and said that with his wife being a super-hot grandma, there would be lots of rainbows in the sky. Good, healthy family discussions. Then there's the girl whose brother made her write a song and she became a famous songwriter, and kept promising to send us the link to her famous song and never did. See - girl, brother, singing -- bonding with the family, bonding with friends. Since she didn't send us the link, someone said 'donuts' and we talked about food again.
While the cricket World Cup was on, I tried to get those football and soccer fans to understand something about the game, but they sort of yawned and then the team I was rooting for lost, so we stopped talking about cricket and went back to talking about food.
So, since we talk a lot about food, how about a sample, you ask? (Not of the food, of the talk.) Well -- here's an enlightening snippet: Twas on a trip to Mexico that I discovered the joys of mixing red pepper with chocolate. See! Wow! Did you know that before? And this wasn't even when the main topic of discussion was chocolate. It was carrot cake, and we somehow digressed. But you get the idea. You find some real gems, here.
Thanks for reading! I'm off to bug the folks on bring a chuckle to those on "Steev's Place"

Thanks to those who responded to: "Comedy Newsletter (October 15, 2014)"
Marci Missing Everyone : We see funny headlines like this all the time. Great issue and funny as always!
LJPC - the tortoise : Hahaha! Those headlines were hilarious, Sonali! I especially laughed at the flying bugs, the "teen'" pregnancy after 25, and the helpful bridges! Thanks for putting a big smile on my face with your excellent newsletter.  ~ Laura
dragonwoman  : Where did you find the headlines? They are hilarious!
Lornda  : Funny newsletter! I had a good laugh with those headlines, and I always wonder what they're thinking when they write them. Do they really re-read them?  As I was reading these, it reminded me of the Tonight Show. They had a segment on there called 'Headlines', and they never ran out of clippings to show. It was hilarious to watch. Here's a link to one of the shows if you want to check it out:
