I am actually answering the friday five on Friday for once! It is Friday today, isn't it???

1. When was the last time you laughed?
I don't really laugh. If you get a smile out of me you're doing really good. Sometimes somebody sends me a really funny e-mail though (yeah, those things that we all forward to everybody in our address books) and I do remember actually laughing at one of those, but I'm not sure when it was. I do remember who sent it to me.

2. Who was the last person you had an argument with?
I really don't argue either. I just give in. Or I present my point of view in a non-argumentative fashion. LOL (As an aside, when you write LOL did you actually laugh out loud or just think that something was funny enough to laugh out loud? I'm curious.)

3. Who was the last person you emailed?
The last thing in my sent items box (which was sent yesterday) is one of those things that we forward to everybody in our address books. I don't actually send them to everybody - just a select few that I think might appreciate it. It was pretty funny, and one that I hadn't seen before. Okay, here it is:

   by simply peeing in the sink.
   
4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for
   awhile, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.

   you from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze
   button.
   
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then
   you will be afraid to cough.

4. When was the last time you bathed?
Well, a couple of weeks ago we bathed the goats we were taking to the show, and they, uh, shared the water. I was mad 'cause I had already had my bath for the month. No, I really did just shower. I still have a towel on my hair. Or do you mean a sit-down bath? That would have been last April.

5. What was the last thing you ate?
A cold glass of red zinger herb tea (unsweetened) and one of these:

A red one. I ate too much yesterday (took the kids on a picnic with my MIL and all the cousins, and then ate ice cream after I got home - it was low fat, but I put hot fudge sauce on it. So I skipped breakfast. I'm getting hungry though. Think I might get a bowl of granola with some yogurt and call it brunch.
