I'm first! I loved your list. I will have to bookmark it and come back to read it when I need a reason to laugh :)
What a wonderful TT!!! I love to laugh and I believe I probably laugh more than the "normal" amount of times...it's a great way to start out my TT rounds this week!!!
I loved the list! Really interesting! Enjoyed my visit so much! Blessings to you!
What a great TT topic. That was definitely fun to read. I kept thinking of the song from Mary Poppins, I love to laugh..ha ha ha ha. :o)
Very interesting TT! I have printed it out. My TT is up.
I can relate to number 13!
This list was a great idea.
This is perfect. I'm laughing so hard right now watching a local TV show (I can multitask very well hehehe) and lookee what I manage to find surfing the Thursday Thirteen site, a list on laughter :D. Perfect, I tell you.
Lovely!
So thats 'The joy of the Lord is my strength' from a whole new angle :-)
Happy TT
Laughter helps me with my headaches, too! What a great 13!
I do think I laugh 17x's a day - sometimes more. I'm always laughing or smiling! I totally agree it can fight disease/health issues.
17 times per day? Wow.
I definitely need to laugh more. What a nice idea for a list.
I love to laugh. You know it burns calories too! LOL!! Maybe we should all go on a laughing diet and prove that theory!
Oh yes - I love to laugh. I do it quite often, but I am sure I could do it more. I wish the people I work with would laugh more - or even smile - that would be a step in the right direction.
Happy Thursday.
I will try and find time today for a good laugh.
Love this list! it is so full of joy and life.
Laughter is good for the soul!
Love your list....laughed all the way through it! Thanks for the visit.
I agree with your list of laughter. This is very true. I have tested this with myself.
Great TT! Laughter is so important! They say that people who have the inability to "look sad", feel less sad than people that frown a lot. Interesting, huh?
Laughter is so important. Even sad things can "go away" with a good laugh. I'll laugh with you :D
