Laughing WITH me, or laughing AT me? What do you think?

Laughter is/has always been soothing/therapeutic, but it can be hurtful when laced with scorn and sarcasm against someone. It’s ok if close friends and family laugh at you, and with you, but what about people who don’t really know you?

Here’s a scenario:
Whilst walking down the street, I slip and fall on my butt. Two guys passing by help me up and collect my things, but one of them had a huge grin on his face and said to me, “Tants, lucky ting you wearin’ jeans!”
We laugh in unison, but I felt a bit embarrassed. Were they laughing with me, or at me?

I was just thinking about it...nothing to be too serious about really.grin

"Are you better off alone?"

Nope; that's why I'm searching for some "good companionship". grin

Were you a fan of Sesame Street (i.e. the Original Edition), and spent much of your early life watching the shows? If so, which was/were your favourite song/s, sketche/s, puppet character/s, monologues or animated skit/s.

If you remember any category that I've forgotten, feel free to add it in.


As for my some of my favourites, I have quite a few. For example:
1. Ernie and Bert, The Count, Kermit and Ms. Piggy, and Oscar the Grouch
2. "The Hare and the turtle/tortoise" sketch
3. All of the "Hey bud" sketches
4. "The sign said One Way" song
5. The "Ma-na-ma-na, pe-pe-pe-de-pe" song
6. The "We all live in the Capital 'I' " song
7. The "Wanda the Witch" monologue

.......and the list goes on, and on and on. grin As you can see I was a fan.

Fruitful conversation vs Useless argument

That's true.thumbs up

Fruitful conversation vs Useless argument

That may be so DL, but how is it fair that one takes out one's frustrations on others? Wouldn't it be kinder and healthier to 'vent' to a friend/relative (who may be able to help), or even to refrain from posting so as not to offend others?

Fruitful conversation vs Useless argument

Well said Track, especially about the politics.sigh

Fruitful conversation vs Useless argument

So true...

RE: We all owe our parents $50'000 for loving and taking care of us since as a baby us imo

The Bible speaks about "honouring" one's parents, and whilst the act involves some sort of recompense, a particular amount was not mentioned. Who can put a value on what parents have to spend/do/endure to raise their children? Loving them, and taking care of their needs as they age would be enough, I think.

Besides, it was probably only referring to 'good parents'.grin

Btw, both of my parents, and all of my grandparents are dead, but my father was the only one I knew that I wouldn't have lost sleep over honouring/owing.
