Ever Had One Of Those Days..

When everything goes wrong, you feel like crap, and there is nothing in the world that can change it? I've had more than my share of crumby hair days, days where my clothes don't fit (no matter how hard I try to suck in), days when everything breaks down- from the car to the kitchen appliances to my kid, days when telemarketers just won't leave you alone, and worst of all, days when your stuck on the john without any toilet paper!

When you think you have it bad just remember this little story-

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and facemask.


A post-mortem revealed that the person died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries.Dental records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clad diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire. It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast some 20 miles from the forest. The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets.


Water was dipped from the ocean and then flown to the forest fire and emptied.You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in thePacific, the next he was doing the breaststroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air. Apparently he extinguished exactly 5'10" of the fire. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

I've found the best remedy for any of my problems is to laugh. Humor has been my lifesaver on more than one occasion and whenever I'm in an uncomfortable situation, I tend to crack jokes, to lessen and distract from the REAL feelings. It's a coping mechanism that works for me.
Try it. It's the best medicine.
