Laughter is supposed to be the best medicine, and whether you’re dealing with a particularly stressful time in your life or simply need to relax after a long day of work, finding something to make yourself smile is always a great idea. And one of the major advantages of the world wide web is that there’s literally always something there designed to make you giggle and feel good. Whether it’s a bit more esoteric, like cats with text overlaid designed to make them sound like babies, or something more typical–like your favorite comedians doing sketches designed to go viral–the web is a true treasure trove of humor.

For anyone who has been dealing with the frustration of making video-heavy humor sites load on a dial-up connection, the good news is that satellite internet now makes it possible to get online to check out what’s funny no matter where you happen to live. And since laughter being the best medicine applies to all corners of the country, knowing that the punchline is all about timing and dial-up might ruin that means that those who are able are leaping to satellite internet as fast as possible more often than not.

If you’re now running at the same speed as broadband and hoping to LOL, knowing where to go can be a bit of a challenge–especially if you’ve already checked out your favorite websites and find their content a bit lacking. One great place to start out is with Awkward Family Photos. While it might sound a bit mean-spirited or as though it couldn’t possibly deliver time and time again, this is a well-curated blog. And this means that you’ll likely find yourself giggling more often than not, often straight-up guffawing. This is mostly due to the fact that no matter how diverse, most awkward family photos do share the same elements. And that will make them something that you’re laughing with, while remembering the time that you, too, were forced to pose in a truly embarrassing way.  Read more...

“The cure for boredom is curiosity. But there is no cure for curiosity.”  I’ve certainly lived this quote. I can say that I have never been bored because my curiosity has ridden over most all my other needs and emotions. I drove my parents crazy with the “What’s that? Where are we going? How was this made? Why do we do it this way?” questions; having to be quieted with the typical parental answer of, “Because.” 

I have spent my whole life living outside of the box looking at things different from others, trying to figure out why things have been done one way and why couldn’t they be done another way. For instance, when I saw a rusty toaster in a garbage can I thought, “what a great body for a doll!” Another example was a carpenter friend of mine had collected a large bin of specialty wooden pencils from lumber yards. I asked him if I could have them and turned them into a unique rustic frame for a wall mirror.

Luckily I share my mother’s artistic gift and had my fingers in different mediums of art all my life, i.e. batiking, candle making, acrylic painting, murals, graphic design, folk art design, collage, furniture making and fauxing, and sewing. However, being a single mother of two boys, I had to work in the corporate world to bring in a stable paycheck. This kept me from taking my creative interests seriously.

In 2002, at the age of 50 years old, I had some personal tragedies that caused me to have a stroke. I had to relearn to read, write, talk and walk. This forced me to slow down and reevaluate my priorities. My boys were always my top priority but they no longer lived at home. I had recently divorced so it was important to finally focus on me. I asked myself, “What would make you happy? What is your passion?”  Read more...
