About This Newsletter

Image for Dec. Newsletter


For the first Christmas in many years, I'm not concerned about choosing a Christmas tree. It no longer bothers me that I will celebrate another Christmas without snow. The only thing worrying me is will I be around for Christmas? Yes, folks, WW is going under the knife.

Letter from the editor



Hello, folks. It's always an honor and pleasure to be bringing you another Comedy Newsletter. *Bigsmile* It is the season to be merry and I hope all of you are celebrating the holiday season in a way that brings you much joy and magic, filled with wonderful surprises.

Enough of the pleasantries and on to the ominous sounding title of this Newsletter. By now, I have undergone hip-replacement surgery. I put my left hip in, they took my right hip out...

Seriously folks, they, hopefully took the right hip out which in fact is my left hip. Also, I'll be awake during the surgery, which is difficult to imagine as they've told me to be at the hospital at 5:00 a.m. (Good luck with that one!) They said I'm getting a spinal block. So, if the angel of death starts roaming the halls or that death sniffing cat is anywhere in my vision, I'm hopping off that operating table and right out the door.

I've had many fears facing this surgery. I thought, if they have to cut my leg off, and replace the old hip bones with new titanium devices, along with some plastic or ceramic ball-joint, (Not that kind of ball or joint-geez get your mind out of the gutter!) hopefully they sew my leg back on the right way. I mean, if it gets put on backwards, I won't know whether I'm coming or going. Although that would make me one hell of a skateboarder!

Which reminds me of all the things the doctor said I'd be able to do several months following surgery. He said I'll be able to swim, golf, bike-ride and surf. I thought, Oh, great, I've never been able to surf, before! *Bigsmile* How cool is that?

Anyway, folks, I just want you to know that they can't get rid of Web~Witch that easily. So, I will be enjoying Christmas in all its glory and splendor. All I want for Christmas is a new left hip. It plays through my head like a familiar tune. As I write this, I'm hoping all has gone well and I'll be here, ringing-in the New Year with all of you, just as always. My plan is to be safely ensconced in my Southern Command Center, healing, and happy that at least one hip has been replaced with a newer, stronger, surfing hip. *Thumbsup*

As we approach the end of another year, I want to dedicate this Newsletter to the other full-time Comedy Newsletter writers, SophyBells Author IconMail Icon & Waltz Invictus Author IconMail Icon. It's not easy writing comedy, month after month. In fact, I believe it is the most difficult of all genres to do on a regular basis.

We all go through our trials and tribulations in life; pain, sorrow, disappointments and have to find some humor for our comedy muses to come alive. My belief is that some of the best comedians we've grown-up with, are the ones who have suffered tragedies in their childhood or adulthood and have had to overcome some trying events. They equalize all that turmoil and turn negativity into positive, humorous energy. One must be able to laugh at oneself in order to grab the reins of life and make the best of times out of the worst of times.

Sophy, Waltz - kudos to both of you for your dedication and energy put into being long time, Comedy Newsletter editors. I am highlighting one of each of your Newsletters that amused me in an unforgettable way. Thank you for all you've done to bring a smile to our faces, here on WDC. Cheers!



Oh, one more thing. It does our heart good when we receive your feedback, so please keep it up. *Bigsmile*


*Ornament4v* Happy Holidays, folks! *Ornament3r*

Until next time--laugh hard, laugh often!

Ta,
Web~Witch

Ask & Answer

Winnie Kay Author IconMail Icon

Ah, the WW of Comedy hauls in another delightful story. At least Web-Mom wasn't along on this trip! Thanks, Ilean, for your example of finding humor in the otherwise mundane events of life.
*Traincar1y*

Thanks, Winnie! You know how much Ilean on my readers for their feedback.
*Shock* Happy you enjoyed the Newsletter.
*Thumbsup*


Quick-Quill Author IconMail Icon

I love reading your newsletters. I find that we have similar experiences. I just don't think about telling them all. I so enjoy yours. Keep them coming. I love it when people are able to find humor in the little things of life.

Oh, good, somebody else has weird life events similar to mine. Phewww! I was beginning to think I was bit daft. *Rolleyes* Oh, wait--I am! No matter, it's always better to find the humor in these situations and just write about it. But edit out all those curse words that spewed forth at the time of the event. If I kept them in, this Newsletter would be five pages long! *Laugh*


LJPC - the tortoise Author IconMail Icon

Hi WW! I love that your glasses had such an exciting adventure -- probably even more interesting than yours and WL's. You both sure were inventive to get through all those towing problems, but necessity is the mother of invention, right?
Great NL! *Bigsmile*
~ Laura

*Laugh* Thanks, Laura. I sometimes picture WL and I as cartoon or comic strip characters when I think back over the dramatic events of which we were a part. I'm amazed that we got through some of these things practically unscathed! *Worry*

Crazy things will happen.

Yes they will, Big Bad Wolf! Thanks for the comment and submission. *Smile*
