Share Your Humor
There are times I share my skewered humor with friends or blog readers or ever strangers if I really think I'm funny.

I have a friend, Tammy, who's younger than me, and has metastatic breast cancer. I thought maybe I could help her shore up her sense of humor and her immune system. I sent her several pounds of cherries last month because they are full of anti-oxidents and phytochemicals. The cherries also reminded me of Erma Bombeck's book, If Life Is A Bowl Of Cherries, What Am I doing In The Pits? It was my mom's book yet even as a teenager Erma made me laugh.

This little grey guy is a brain neuron. I sent another care package to Tammers and her favorite part was the brain neuron. I sent her an extra neuron because chemo-brain tends to leave one fuzzy and extra neurons are helpful. I told her the best thing to do was put the neuron on her head during chemo and meditate.......snerk. I just did not give her any ideas on what to think about.

I also sent paint brushes, markers, pastels, stickers, paper for her to draw whatever she felt like drawing. I figure when dealing with cancer, a certain amount of freedom is critical.

I sent a koosh gun with two koosh missiles so she could chase her teens and husband around with random koosh hits whenever she felt like it.

I sent play dough. 4 different colors. I truly believe playing with playdough can solve most of the world's problems. It also relaxes the person manipulating the playdough. I love playdough!

Candy was next cuz candy makes everyone feel better. Tam also got two glow in the dark necklaces(like they have at concerts) so she could be the Princess of the night.

Tam's husband Den and he two boys take care of her very well. Let's face it, they're men. I gave Tammy and her family a fun/giggle box to open and enjoy and it helped me to help them.

If you have a friend who needs some caring or love, send something. Just a card or pounds of cherries. :)
