Considering addiction is a tough business I was hoping maybe someone could share something funny. I'm needing a laugh about now. So if anyone is not bored by my thoughts, and such I was thinking about this. Years ago before I even did drugs I was in a mental health facility. It came with the prodding of family who done declared I was not right in the head anymore. Well, if a big, fat case of impending doom looming is not right than so be it. So it was really busy. I guess it was a full moon or just everyone in my city also were "not right in their heads" either. They sent a guy in to do my intake. He wasn't a Doctor, but a counselor, and it seemed that his job was to just ask questions, and check things off. I hear a person out in the hall singing away. Mr. Intake was getting his act together after a few of my answers I think some of my answers made him go hmmmmmmm. The singing wasn't real loud, and it was moving away. So to stop my nervous self from flipping out I started singing the song in sync with the now disappearing voice. It was actually a Neil Young song that I mentioned on here on another post, and that's what made me think of this. Here I go "This old world keeps spinning round it's a wonder tall trees ain't laying down". The counselor fellow looks up, and says "What are you doing?" I said "I'm singing". Oh alright then it seemed to say over his head. I kinda imagined a speech bubble like in the cartoons. He goes "What are you singing?" I said "There Comes A Time", and i told him I was singing along with the person in the hall. This dude looks at me like I have three heads. He starts writing furiously. He looks up and then says "Who in the hall?" I go I don't know, but he was singing, and I know that song really well cause I love Neil Young. Writes furiously again. He then asks "Was Neil Young in the hall?". Man, all of a sudden I get it. This dude thinks I'm imagining that because he didn't hear it. I go "Yo, yo there really was a guy singing out there, and I'm not nuts". Me, and my big, fat trap. It was like out of a movie when someone is explaining they are not crazy, and are trying so hard that of course they are crazy. It wasn't funny then, but now I look back at that, and think what a numbnut I am. People don't get my sense of humor. I chalk that up as a learning lesson from the school of hardknocks. Along with the ever important don't F*** with your food servers I now had don't mess around during a psych evaluation. Hopefully someone has a funny incident to share because we need to laugh from crying. Also I'm not fond of the words crazy or nuts or their implications, but I used it here because it leant to the circumstance. Now I'm singing "Sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don't" from the old Almond Joy commercial. Thanks for listening, and hopefully somebody has something funny to share. |

 Dear getinthere, Your post made me laugh, hee hee hee. I can just imagine the intake person holding there breath, lol. You are so funny, I would of loved to be a fly on the wall for that one, lol. I use to see this shrink every month for my meds who was a real looney tune, lol. I use to enjoy my apointments with her, I would go there and try to analyze her. She had the worst hair, and any women who doesnt comb there Hair, I dont trust, lol. I use to say to my husband that all the shrink needed was a good lay, lol. She use to sit there and say to me, " so whats it like being a Mom." I thought, OH MY GOD, whose paying who here, lol. I quit going to her, she gave me a huge laugh but couldnt justify paying her for nothing. Hugs Karen |

That sounds about right K! Fortunately my therapist knows the right thing to say. She knows more about me than my shrink. He actually told me 2 years ago that Rich's sexual preferences were seperate from me and I shouldn't be so upset with him...I told him to go sleep with a guy when you are dating and see how that feels. My therapist is great. She reemed him when I told her what he said and then told our whole group she was going thru a nasty divorce as well. I believe it helped her perspective and understanding. When your gut tells you a doc is not right for you, you have to act on it. I am in good hands now and am staying there!
Have a great day and stay warm. We are in a real deep freeze here 19 degrees going down to 7 tonite with a wid chill factor I don't even want to think of! Love, Lori

Hey Girl!
I was just looking at past and recent posts and I can't
believe I missed your thread here. I truly had to laugh
because once again, I feel like you and I must have been
separated at birth. I have that same feeling with several
other member's here so "we" are not alone in what I like to call
my "IHS" aka Inappropriate Humor Syndrome! Foot-in-mouth
disease, whatever, it all means the same thing.
I really got an "inappropriate" kick out of your story as I
can just see myself doing the very same thing. There have
been more times than I care to remember (and a lot I truly
don't) that I have been talking or thinking out loud in a way
that seemed to make perfect sense to me but somehow came out in
a completely different meaning to the person I was talking
to.
I do believe my mouth is my own worst enemy, not to mention
my sense of humor and its only after time has passed that
the embarrassment of the situation isn't so
humiliating. Then and only then does it become funny to
me!
I love to play practical jokes and so many times they blow
up in my face and come to think of it, the outcome is seriously
much funnier than what I intended. I need to start keeping
a journal of my mouth misfortunes because there are so many, its
hard to keep track.
I will relay one short "please floor, open up and swallow
me whole" story which happened at my neices birthday
party when she was 15. It was her first party that
she was allowed to invite boys and girls from her class and she
was sitting opening gifts and as is our custom,
reading each card out loud. I have a very bad habit
of buying cards ahead of time and then forgetting where I tucked
them but I have a box of "back-up birthday" cards. We were
late as usual to the party so I grabbed a card which I had
originally intended for my older brother. We grew up
always trying to out gross each other..... It was
basically a generic shoe box birthday card so I
quickly signed it, stuffed it in the envelope and made the mad
dash to the party with my daughter.
My niece got to my gift and card and as she read the card,
she got to the bottom and it said to turn it over. On the
inside it was a funny and nice happy birthday message but when
you turned it over and read the back, it said snidely "Happy
Birthday Douchbag!" Her friends were reading over her
shoulder and I know she would not have continued to read it had
they not all read ahead and said "What? Oh my God!
Happy Birthday Douchbag????!!!" My face gave off more
color than all the candles on her birthday cake, I was SO
embarrassed.
Anyways, all her friends thought it was hysterical and I
was dubbed "the cool aunt" and my brother just shook his head
and said, "Bit yourself in the ass again, didn't ya?!"
Thank God my niece loves me like she does and she's now 21
and she loves to go out and shop with me or we've gone and
gotten a few tattoo's together. Black sheep of the family,
that we are but Lord do we have fun together! We are both
such well intentioned and caring females but we both have a
penchant for making an ass out of ourselves and usually, in
public! Least it keeps us interesting and we are never
lacking for embarrassing stories, its part of our charm!
So Gettinthere, top that one girl! LMAO!
Much love,
Joanne | |

Stop it. No way. You guys are too funny. How funny was that with your poor niece Joanne? You owed her a tattoo. Oh right with these psych Doctors. I had one who would spend the entire time telling me all about her teen daughter, and what a menace she was. Here I was helping this poor lady. Like "Yo, yo can I get on the salary here or what?" Thank you all. I need these laughs. |

Hee hee hee!
Claude, glad to make you laugh! Its
nice for a change, huh? Not my usual heavy stuff, which is
a good sign!
Also, Gettinthere, I've paid my poor neice
back in many, "hmm, shall we say 'hush money' ways", not to
mention I adore spoiling her. I feel like I have two
daughter's, my own sweet and spoiled rotten daughter Dani, who
is "Hell, no I'm never getting a tattoo and Mom, please
take out your eyebrow piecing!" (Another joke gone bad
and now I have a little scar to remind me!) And my neice,
who's a "feisty, funny, take no crap" but would give you
the shirt off her back chic! I went with her to get her
eyebrow pierced and thought, "Oh, that looks so cute and
feminine! Can I get one too?" My neice died laughing
and said "Aunt Joanne, your family will never let you go out
with me ever again if you do it....but you are making me smile
big time..."
Well, I came home and my daughter chewed me
out and told me how ridiculous I looked and my husband refused
to even acknowledge it! It did give me a world of
giggles. So, I'm looking for my next practical joke
that hopefully will leave no reminder's/scar's! (It was SO
worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Much love, Joanne | |
