What are things you find funny and that make you laugh?.....My Dog & Husband make me laugh regularly almost everyday... But also lots of old sitcoms that I grew up watching in the 80's and 90's. When I watch re-runs of them today, they always make me laugh.
Would you consider actively exploring things (watching funny video clips or reading funny stories) that could make you laugh?.....I'm not much of a reader, but every now and then I do come across some funny stuff.... I'm more of a video clip person. And have actively watched many that made laugh~
@amiablePeace77
Ellerz 😊
What are things you find funny and that make you laugh?
HAHAHA- well I laugh when my kiddos or animals do silly things. When people at work keep asking the same things over and over-yet they know how things work. I laugh at certain movies or TIKKtokk I tend to always find something to laugh at
Would you consider actively exploring things (watching funny video clips or reading funny stories) that could make you laugh?

I never miss out on a laugh
@RumpleSteeleSkin

I really enjoy watching videos and clips.
I truly can feel my mind feels lighter and it definitely helps with stresses that I have.
I enjoy watching videos of little kids they are so cute and most of the time they don't even realize that they are being funny.
I'm not a big reader but sometimes I enjoy funny stories.
Laughing definitely helps but I never knew all the benefits
