Humor Helps

When you must cope with a disabling chronic illness, it's sometimes easy to get down in the dumps. (We all get sick and tired of being sick and tired!) These suggestions will help you find ways to laugh and keep those everyday downs under control so that you spend more time being "up" -- on yourself and your life.

Newest additions:

If you can....
If you can start the day without caffeine,...

The Drugs I Need... (Progenitorivox by SquabbMerlCo) Animation/Song
An animation created by the Animation Farm and Austin Lounge for the Consumers Union about the recent drug recalls and less-than-full disclosure concerns.

Build Your Own South Park Character
This site makes it easy -- and fun -- to build your own, personalized South Park character. It's a good educational experience for young cartoonist wannabes, too, because it lets them see how the components go together.

Humorscope Superhero Discovery Page
Did you know that everyone has a superhero inside them? Ron E. Lunde claims that's true, and he's created a page to help you find yours! (Let's hope your superpower is more exciting than "powerfully bad breath" that he claims is one About.com Guide's superpower.)

Your Daily Humorscope
Get (funny and oftentimes hilarious) daily advice according to your astrological sign.

Slug Bug Purists Say New Bug Ruining Game
Some in the slug bug community contend that a proposed rule change to the game is the biggest controversy the game has experience since the "no slug backs" rule was introduced in 1978. Will including the new Volkswagen Beetles as sluggable cars introduce a whole new generation of 'Slug-Buggers' to the game or will it sully the fun for all?

Mike Durrett's About.com Humor Resource
Guide Mike Durrett provides an extensive resource for topical, seasonal, and category humor. You'll find lots of ways -- and reasons to -- laugh here!

Names Popularity Page
Wonder how popular your first name was a century ago? (Pamela didn't even show up in the Top 1000 before the 1920s.)

- Chronic Illness Realities
comic strip

Writing Woes comic strip

- The Blue Rose Bouquet 
In my (not so) humble opinion, this online magazine publishes some of the best humor written today. Visit the fiction, nonfiction, and humor links.
- DAVE BARRY
The Miami Herald maintains an archive of Dave Barry's hilarious columns. (Because he has a few years on even me, I can say that I grew up on Dave Barry's humor -- and feel like I am the grownup here when I read him, too.) Typewritten Prozac!!!
- THE TOP 5 LIST
So what if he can't count? Chris White moderates one of the best humor lists out there. (I say this even though I've failed to make the final cut the times I qualified as an  auditioning finalist.)
- DILBERT
What better way to zone out than to visit one of the Dilbert zones?
His books are must- have's for your humor therapy program! Some suggested titles are:
The Dilbert Future : Thriving on Business Stupidity in the 21st Century
Don't Step in the Leadership
- The Art of
Sandy Huffaker

Okay, so his stuff isn't what you normally think of when you think of cartoons. But one visit to his "Stock (Cartoon & Fine Art)" site and I think you, too, will be hooked. His "Men Sharing Feelings" is a classic, I think "awwww" every time I see "love," and his is the only "Clinton" I truly love.
- Scrappleface
The abused news.
Hilarious!
- Squinkers
My favorite online comic strip.
-
The Observational Therapist
Fun,
warped perspectives of Dr. Thera Pist.....
- C.J. Burke's
Bill Clinton
Joke-of-the-Day

C. J. Burke's been dishing out his Below the Beltway™ brand of humor for more than 3 years now.
The man does have taste! He used my Paula Jones limerick on his site awhile back.
- Today's Cartoon
by
Randy Glasbergen

Randy's excellent site not only features a NEW CARTOON EVERY DAY, he maintains an archive of many of his others. He's the force behind the syndicated cartoon THE BETTER HALF plus he's published more than 25,000 (yep! that's 2-5-THOUSAND!!!) cartoons in such markets as READER'S DIGEST, etc.
He's the author of HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL CARTOONIST and Toons!: How to Draw Wild & Lively Characters for All Kinds of Cartoons and Getting Started Drawing & Selling Cartoons and others.
