Great Stress Reliever

And now for something completely different.

One of the important things for living a good life is to find something you like to do and do it frequently. With all the stresses in our lives recently and all the spare time we had during my husband CABG recuperation, we spent a lot of time in front of the tv watching stuff that makes us laugh. Scientists learned years ago how great the power of laughter was for recuperation from illness, so who are we to argue with the great scientific minds. Laughter is also good for reducing blood pressure, boosting your immune system, lower cholesterol, and releasing those all important endorphins into your bloodstream. It can also lead to world peace and intergalactic exploration, but don't hold me to those last 2.

This is how we would spend a lot of that time:

We already had a big collection of MST3K movies, and now we have a lot of RiffTrax to keep us company when on the treadmill and exercise bike. Our son takes some of the MP3s with him on his iPod when doing his walking outside, too, since he has the movies they go with memorized by now.

So go ahead and take a look. Check out the preview videos on the movies. I guarantee you'll fall in love with Mike, Bill and Kevin as much as our family has.
