Random Wednesday

One more way to simplify, or keep from complicating your life?  Don't commit to things like blogging every day.  ;) (Remember when I threatened that the emoticon might be the post?  I only made it two.DAYS!)

I thought I'd do a little random and I'm thinking that I'm too tired to even think of random.  So I searched the internet for some random facts.

• Most dreams last only 5 to 20 minutes.  Reeeallly.  That long?  Has anyone else had that experience where you fall asleep for like, a minute.  Or a couple of minutes, but the dream you have covers days of running around in your underwear in what you think is your house, not because it looks anything like your house, but it just feels like your house and then it suddenly turns into what sort of looks like the place you went to college, but isn't exactly like it and you can't find the building that the final is being given to a class that you have skipped all semester because you forgot to drop it and........
• Yeah.  That's a little how my good dreams roll.
• If I remember another dream, a worse one, I'll share.
• Maybe.
• Statistically you are more likely to attacked by a cow than a shark. 
• Hmmmm....
• So, remember that summer you were afraid to go back in the water? 
• Could have been a whole summer that you were afraid to go back to the dairy farm.
• The film UDDERS! would have brought shudders!
• "You're gonna need a bigger tractor."
• Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.
• I'll let that one go.
• If you plug your nose you can't hum.
• Tried it, didn't you?
• Heh.
• Children laugh about 400 times a day, while adults laugh only 15 times.
• Health benefit of laughter 1:  It relaxes the whole body, relieves stress and leaves muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes.
• Health benefit of laughter 2: Laughter decreases stress hormones, increases disease fighting antibodies and boosts the immune system.
• Health benefit of laughter 3:  Releases endorphins, the feel good chemical that produces a sense of well-being.
• Health benefit of laughter 4:  I don't know, some mumbo-jumbo concerning relaxing arteries and improving blood flow so it protects your heart. 
• Laughter also helps emotional health, bringing a positive attitude and dispersing negative feelings and emotions. 
• There are even laughter yoga classes. 
• Even just forcing yourself to laugh until you are really laughing is emotionally and physically good for you.
• When we were kids, my sister and I used to fake laugh when we were doing chores.  It was actually pretty hysterically fun.
• That was too many words ending in y. 
• Try it.  Let's fake it 'til we make it!  AHAHAHAHAAAAHHHHAHAHHHAHAAAA!
• I wish this would happen to me when I was on the T (watch through to the end! Yes, that is an order):
  

2010. Seventy. NaBloPoMo. 3/3. Just under the wire, so while this is technically a Random Wednesday post most will be reading it on some day after Wednesday. Whatever.  Oh, and read more about laughter and why you should bring humor into your daily life here.  And pass it on!

That video was sweet! And I like how your random posts often start off random and then coalesce around a theme.

You started my day out right...with a laugh! Smith and the dogs think I'm crazy...well, they already know I'm crazy, but you know, now they know! lol

I remember seeing that video earlier in the year and it's a hoot!

Heh, I did try it. Who knew? Lol. Now I do.

Thanks for the laugh. We can all use a good one.

Cows? Really? Yet I would never dream of going shark tipping. Go figure. ;^)

I tried it, too. I may have to mention that one at work to see how many immediately try it.

My cousins grew up on a dairy farm and we spent a little time with the cows. I could see a heifer attack, they were a pain. The worst that happened to me up there was touching the electric fence by mistake right before sledding down a big hill.

So so funny! Yes, I DID try it.
