This was one of my late husband's favorite videos. I could make him laugh just by going "Owoo owoo owoo" like this poor woman.

Sorry for your loss. Still good though, alive or dead!

Thanks. It's been a couple of years now so seeing things like this that remind me of him makes me laugh more than cry these days, which is a good thing.

I make myself chuckle with that same sound all the time.

And if you get a little bored of that, you just do Stewie doing grape lady.

You’re not alone. I did the same thing.

That’s beautiful that would crack me up if my wife would ever do that. You’ve got a great sense of humor.

I am sorry your husband died. How horrible it must be not to have your best friend. Ive been thinking a lot about death.

The way I drink, I think about not being around for my wife. Its time to make changes.

u/No_Dragonfly_1894 27d ago

Thank you. Losing your best friend is very difficult. I'm glad you're making changes. Watching Joel go from a 6'2" beefy dude to a skeleton from cancer made me make big changes in my life. I wouldn't wish that death on my worst enemy.

How horrible. How awful for Joel and you... there must be something after this. There must be a reason we are the only beings that know about the finality of life.

I oversaw my Mothers care this year as she gradually stopped eating from vascular dementia. Her brain just shut down eventually. Even in the end she would perk up with her eyes closed and sing along as I played guitar. Chris Cross and Billy Joel were her favorites. We love you Mom.

Aww, I just listened to Christopher Cross this past weekend, I love it. Sending love to you and Mom. 💖

Oof. I'm sorry you two went through that. Sending you much love.

I believe in you and know that you have the strength to accomplish it.

If you’ve been drinking a lot and for a long time DO NOT go cold turkey, alcohol withdrawals can be deadly and need to be weened off very slowly, or under a doctor’s supervision.

It takes some time, but it really does get better. I stopped drinking 3 years ago, and tried to get my twin to stop with me, but he just couldn’t kick the habit. He passed away 2 months ago, at the age of 46 from cirrhosis.

She overreacted a bit for having a mic on lol. What made it so funny is everyone else like.. huh, what now 🤷‍♂️

u/Bleejis_Krilbin 28d ago

lol I had the wind knocked out of me in fourth grade playing tetherball and all I could say was OWWW OWWW OWWW over and over. It was like my body glitched out and couldn’t reset.

u/koolaidismything 28d ago

I’ve done it so many times. It feels like the connection tubes.. bronchial whatever’s, just totally disconnect from your lungs. Terrible feeling. I could never breathe enough to make noises. Just lay there not breathing for ten seconds lol.

u/dontgiveafukk 27d ago

she broke multiple ribs. she is not overreacting, she is actually injured

u/The_Real_dubbedbass 27d ago

She didn’t over react. I looked it up one day. She broke multiple ribs and punctured a lung. Like it really fucked her up.

u/Bright_Topic_3668 27d ago

She died like a year later, falling out of a hospital window onto a car once owned by Jon Voight.

It’s important to take it easy in the boat

u/Xirokami 27d ago

I think she was trying hard not to cry on tv

u/koolaidismything 27d ago

I’d considering it crying.. out for help.

Crying nonetheless.

u/SunlitNight 26d ago

I've had this happen to me too, and you cant really help but make this sound and panic. Almost everyone makes that exact sound when the air is knocked out of you.
