The ''I Love Lucy'' Show

My favorite TV show when I was little, and my favorite Funny Lady now that I am a grown up is Lucille Ball! Whenever I was too sick to go to school, my Mom would deck me out on the couch and bring a cup of tea without sugar or milk so it wouldn’t upset my tummy so I could watch Lucy on TV. It only happened a few times but I’ll never forget how special my Mom made me feel!

The Funny Papers

You know what they say about, "Laughter is the best medicine"?
Well, I'll volunteer to be your dealer in giggle-pills, mirth-meds and silly-soup guaranteed to make belly-aches into belly-laughs.
Fun is my anti-oxidant, anti-depressant and antidote for bad moods to bad breath. So in case you forgot what FUN is, you interested in a booster shot?
