LOVING WIFE OF THE MOMENT

According to a new study, people who regularly watch reality shows on TV are "significantly more culturally aware" than those in the control group who were in comas.

MONK OF THE MOMENT

A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: He's allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. "Cold floors," he says. They nod and send him away.

Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throat and says, "Bad food." They nod and send him away.

Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. "I quit," he says.

"That's not surprising," the elders say. "You've done nothing but complain since you got here.”

BEST PRESS OF THE MOMENT

We are proud that we were once again featured in one of New Hampshire’s large daily newspapers, the Foster’s Daily Democrat on December 31, 2005. The editors wrote, "There's always plenty good news to compliment the bad and the ugly. The following are the top good news stories for 2005." Ranked #14 was the “Laughter’s Contagious” feature story about World Laughter Day and how our company, Happiness Is...hosted this very first special event in the state of Maine. Thanks again to Hannaford Supermarket in York, ME for sponsoring this fun-filled day. Hope you will join us THIS year!

LOGOS OF THE MOMENT

I’ve run into several clients and colleagues lately who have asked where I got my company’s new logo and if I could suggest where to get one. It got me thinking that you, dear reader, may be going through transition in your company, upgrading your image or starting up a new biz and be considering a new logo. I’m all for supporting local businesses first, but The Logo Company did come highly recommended and wanted to share this “positive tool” with you. After reviewing their detailed online website, I was impressed with their expertise and numerous testimonials from satisfied customers. When I ordered mine, their service was fast and easy, the quality excellent and they allowed me to make countless free design changes. Another bonus…their prices were very affordable!

MEMORY LOSS OF THE MOMENT

A young man is jogging through a park when he sees an old man sitting on a bench sobbing. Concerned, he stops by the bench. "Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"

"Oh," sobs the old man, "Everything's wonderful. I just married a gorgeous twenty-year old who'll do anything for me, and even my children love her. We have a beautiful house, a pool..."

"So what's the matter?" the puzzled young man asks.

"I can't remember where I live!"

FUN PHOTO OF THE MOMENT

BUMPER STICKER OF THE MOMENT

"Where am I going?  And why am I in a hand-basket?"

HUMORIST DAVE BARRY FOR THE MOMENT

“If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

"There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

A HOPEFUL MOMENT

A little humor can brighten your outlook, a new study published in the International Journal of Humor Research states. People who watched a 15-minute comedy video scored higher on a survey of hopefulness compared to those who didn't get the chance to guffaw. The finding suggests humor could be a strategy to relieve stress and maintain well-being, the researchers say. Let us know how we can help find humor in YOUR life!

CHORE OF THE MOMENT

“My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first one being -- hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.”  ~Erma Bombeck

ROLE MODEL OF THE MOMENT

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 WHEN...

1.  You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2.  You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3.  You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three. 

4.  You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5.  Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6.  You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7.  Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8.  Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 

10.  You get up in the morning and! go on line before getting your coffee.

11.  You start tilting your head sideways to smile.  : )

12.  You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13.  Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15.  You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

Go on, forward this to your friends, you know you want to…

Thanks to reader Kim Peck for these…Does it bring a knowing smile to YOUR FACE?
