    Margaret Radisich Sleasman

    I have many interests, love reading mystery books, anything about tigers, and grandkids (not particularly in that order). I wrote a Bible study and am pretty much unmoveable in my literal biblical view - so don't try. I am attempting to write a couple mysteries one for adults and one for pre-teens. I edited and published a monthly historical newsletter, "The Pacific Northwest Croatian" for seven years and learned much about my people during that time. I have been writing on Helium since July of 2009 and Faithwriters since December 2009. I found the humor section and discovered that humor may be my niche, but my first love is writing Christianity articles. I have five grandchildren. I have five children, grown - but not grown up. We have a German Shepherd (Kobe)and a potbelly pig (Porky). Spent 35 years of my life making concrete lawn ornaments. I am Croatian, my husband is German... a family of stubborn, but silly people. That's about it.

      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my family, relatives, and the Croatian friends in the community in which I grew up. The Croatian sense of humor is probably the best in the world as far as I am concerned. We may be a strange group at times, but have a zest for life unparallel to any other nationality that I have met.

      None of these stories are true; maybe a sentence or two and then I enlarged it to my viewpoint. I hope that others will chuckle and not find my writing insulting, that was not my intent.

      After you read these stories, you will know without a doubt what you suspected all along, I am totally insane. Laughter extends your life, so laugh with me or at me; God bless you all.

      *****

      Forward:

      I never knew I was Funny

      I went through most of my life never knowing I was funny. I discovered I had a little funny talent when I was 66 years old. Up until then, I had a sense of humor, but did not really know I was capable of making people laugh. All this time, I thought others were laughing because they were mocking me. I truly enjoy good humor, but never cared for slapstick or the Three Stooges type where they are hitting each other to get laughs. All I could think about was, Boy that must have hurt!

      I believe stress can cause a person to either, fall into depression, go insane or lean towards seeing humor in a situation. In my case, a little insanity is a good thing and the stress brought out humor instead of depression. One day I read a short humor article and thought to myself, I can do this, so I began to type. Oh my, the feedback started coming in; either they thought it was funny or that I was insane. A new career was born; I could look at my husband, myself, various members of my family and stories would just pop into my head.

      My family and friends have distanced themselves a bit because they are afraid I will write about them; my husband thinks I am making fun of him (but actually doesn’t mind), and my kids are extremely happy that I may have added a few years to my life.

      Granted, these stories are mostly NOT true, but the little bit that is gets my mind going and somehow turns into a funny situation and makes me laugh. I have no idea how this happens, but I am happy that it does. My cholesterol count has gone down, the headaches left, and each time something stressful happens in my life; I write a funny story. This does not make the situation go away, but it makes it much easier to deal with.

      The old apple a day theory has been changed to a funny story a day for me. Laughing does improve your health and your outlook on life; or maybe I have just gone crazy and don’t know it yet.
