    TOTALLY EXTRA: Wedding Dilemma, Ombre Nipples & A Pissy Suitcase

    enApril 07, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Intimate moments and unexpected fartsUnexpected farts during intimate moments can be embarrassing, but finding humor and carrying on can help maintain satisfaction and connection.

      Learning from this episode of Luana Totally Extra is the unexpected and common occurrence of farting during intimate moments, as shared in a voice note from a listener named Holes. The story brought back memories for Louisa, who once experienced her husband passing gas during a blow job, much to both their embarrassment. Despite the awkward situation, Louisa found a way to carry on and ensure her husband's satisfaction. The episode also included a shout-out from Louisa for her sister Charlotte, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma while still managing her responsibilities as a mother. The episode showcased the importance of carrying on and finding humor in unexpected situations, as well as the strength and resilience of women in challenging circumstances.

    • Finding Strength in Community and Support During Challenging TimesCommunity and support can provide entertainment, motivation, and a sense of belonging during difficult experiences. It's reasonable to cover expenses for those who contribute to special events in your life.

      The power of community and support can help individuals get through challenging times with a positive attitude. The discussion revolves around the experiences of a woman named Charlotte going through chemotherapy, with her sister Louisa expressing her pride and gratitude towards the Totextra podcast and its hosts for providing Charlotte with entertainment and motivation. The misheard jokes and light-hearted banter only added to the enjoyment. Another listener, Mel, shared her appreciation for the podcast's humor and even got a laugh out of a misheard word. The conversation then shifted to a bride-to-be seeking advice on paying for her bridesmaids' hair and makeup on her wedding day. The consensus was that if she had invited them to be part of her wedding, it was a reasonable expectation for her to cover their expenses for the day. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of community, support, and open communication.

    • Standing up for yourself and colleagues against rude behaviorAsserting yourself and defending colleagues against disrespect can lead to positive outcomes, even if unconventional steps are necessary

      Standing up for yourself and your colleagues against rude behavior can lead to positive outcomes. The story shared by the anonymous caller, known as Petit Polly, illustrates this perfectly. At her previous job at a fancy golf country club, she and a friend faced constant disrespect from a regular patron. Instead of letting it go, they took matters into their own hands by writing a formal letter to the man, threatening to terminate his membership due to his rude behavior towards staff. The man was humiliated and apologized, leading to a change in his behavior. This experience taught Petit Polly that it's important to assert yourself and defend yourself and your colleagues against disrespect, even if it means taking unconventional steps. So, if you encounter rude behavior in your personal or professional life, consider standing up for yourself and those around you. You never know what positive outcomes it might lead to.

    • Unleashing joy through creativity and kindnessCreativity and kindness, even in small gestures, can bring unexpected joy and make a big difference in people's lives

      Even in the most mundane situations, creativity and kindness can bring unexpected joy and relief. Anonymity can lead to playful pranks, and seemingly harmless acts can brighten someone's day. The stories shared in this discussion, from super gluing a petrol cap to leaving a kind note, showcase the power of imagination and compassion. While the motivations behind these actions may vary, the positive impact they have on others is undeniable. It's important to remember that small gestures can make a big difference and bring a sense of connection and community. So, let's continue to find ways to add a little creativity and kindness to our daily lives.

    • Acts of Kindness: Small Actions, Big ImpactActs of kindness, no matter the size, can bring satisfaction and positivity to both giver and receiver. Be kind to others and remember, every act counts.

      Acts of kindness, no matter how small, can have a significant impact on both the giver and the receiver. The speaker shared two personal stories where she helped strangers in need by covering their expenses, and in both instances, she experienced a sense of gratification and good feeling. The first story involved a woman asking for help with petrol money for her car, and the speaker paid for it anonymously. The second story was about assisting a man in a car park who didn't have enough change to pay for parking. In both cases, the speaker's actions cost her only a small amount of money but brought her a sense of satisfaction and warmth. The speaker also shared a confession about her past where she had felt guilty for leading her husband away from her best friend, who he initially seemed interested in. However, she eventually married the husband herself. The speaker's stories emphasize the importance of kindness and the positive impact it can have on people's lives. Additionally, the speaker's confession shows that everyone has their past regrets and mistakes, but it's never too late to move on and make amends. Overall, the takeaway is to be kind to others and to remember that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

    • Story of embarrassing incident caused by alcoholAlcohol can lead to regrettable actions with lasting consequences, impacting relationships

      Alcohol can lead to embarrassing and regrettable situations. Morag shared a story from her past about an incident that occurred during her first girls' holiday when she was 17. She got drunk and, in her inebriated state, accidentally peed in her friend's suitcase. Morag had completely forgotten about the incident until her friend discovered her clothes were wet. The friend wore some of the clothes on the trip, and Morag was unable to confess her mistake. This incident led to the end of their friendship. Morag shared this story with a laugh, but also expressed relief that she never had to tell her friend the truth. This experience serves as a reminder that our actions, fueled by alcohol or otherwise, can have lasting consequences. It's important to be mindful of our behavior and consider the impact it may have on those around us.

    013: Happiness, Kindness, and Gratitude

    “Even the happiest people have negative moods occasionally... It's completely natural to feel down sometimes, but happy people have ways of coping with negative emotions so they're able to turn them around and maintain a bright outlook overall.” -Ann LeMaster

    If we want something in life, we work hard for it. This also applies to our happiness.

    While it's true that we are all born into this world with the potential to be happy, it doesn't mean that happiness will automatically follow. Happiness is a choice and we can make it happen for ourselves through consistent and intentional efforts. We can't control everything in our lives, but we do have some control over how we choose to feel about those things.

    In this episode, we are going to be filled with positivity as Ann talks about the top traits that happy people have in common, the connection between happiness and kindness, false sources of happiness, strategies to be happier, how gratitude boosts happiness, how to be a person of gratitude, and the benefits of happiness.

    086: How to Begin the Year with Joy

    086: How to Begin the Year with Joy

    Begin the year with joy. Find some or create some. When you create joy for others you create joy for yourself. Today’s episode shows how.

    Hello everyone and welcome to episode 86 and the start of Season 5 of our podcast.

    We said goodbye to 2020 in last week’s episode with the thought that even in difficult circumstances there is always joy to be found if we look hard enough. I gave two examples of finding joy in difficult circumstances.

    Starting today, let’s begin the year with joy. To do so I share several examples of finding joy in more positive contexts, like now, at the beginning of a new year. Not much has gone wrong yet. At least at the time of this recording.

    I hope the several stories I share will inspire you to either find joy, or create some yourself if you come up empty. I’ll explain how, so listen in.

    The first example that begins the year with joy

    Christmas card from ECFA (Evangelical Child and Family Agency) “ECFA has chosen joy amidst this pandemic.” I love the bold strength. It brings me joy to see this.

    Humor is a place where we often find joy
    • For me, joy is often found in humor. In episode 80, A Christmas Gift of Silence on December 2nd. I mentioned ending the podcast with Marcel Marceau singing “his rendition of Silent Night.” 23 seconds of no sound, because Marcel Marceau was a mime
    • My friend Larry’s response about Marcel Marceau and the context of Zechariah’s 9 months of silence
    • Another listener’s comment about appreciating Marcel Marceau
    • The Who Gets You? episode, no 81, “A Christmas Gift of Connection” elected a comment from Brad, a listener from Florida. Brad’s a friend of mine and he said his dog, Lucy, “Get’s him” and then he rated his wife Kathy as A-1.
    • Humor is a tricky thing. We sorely need it for healthy relationships. It’s what got me through adolescence. But we don’t want to make it the focal point of our relationships. We'll save that topic for another day.
    Something we say that encourages another will begin the year with joy
    • A listener’s email about being more of an observer and less of a commentator.

    "Be more of an observer and listener and less than a commentator. It can be a Christmas present of silence you give to others."

    “Two days ago I was in a phone conversation with a family member.  She commented on a photo that I had pointed out to her in a book I had given her to read.  When I mentioned that an item (a table) in the photo was actually positioned differently there than how we actually sat at that table when we were young, she disagreed and said it had been the same way that this book was showing it.  WHAT??  I started to come back with a strong rebuttal when all of a sudden it was as if the Holy Spirit said, "Stop."

    “I learned that this was not an instance where I needed to be right, that she may or may not hear the truth from another family member (Eleven of us sat around that table back then), but that I could walk away.  I am so glad I did.  The Holy Spirit immediately began ministering to me about how there are other heavier things in life that truly may need to be said but that this was not one of them.  That day became an enveloping of the Holy Spirit that I could have missed out on.”

    Comment from a former student

    I ran into him about 12 years ago, and then had a phone conversation with him about a mutual acquaintance just the other day. And I learned where life has taken him in the 40+ years since we were in the same classroom together every day. What struck me was his comment, “you were so kind to me back then.”

    Thank you note from a listener

    “Joy” at the top of the small card, the size of an index card, “John, just a note to let you know how much I enjoy your podcasts! They bring me much joy. ~ Patty

    This really touched me. It’s a great privilege to bring joy into someone’s life. I know some of you do this all the time. And I also know some others of you do just the opposite. You drain joy from people.

    The good news for you is that you don’t have to be that way. You too can also begin the year with joy. You’re just as capable as the rest of us to spread joy. Give it a try. For as you spread joy to others, you’ll create joy for yourself. It’s one of the great mysteries of life.

    If you forget everything else, here’s the one thing I hope you remember from today’s episode.

    Begin new things, like the start of a new year in 2021 from a position of joy. Look for it, or create your own, and then spread it to others.

    Here are a few ideas for how we can respond to today's program

    Ask, what new thing in my life can I start today from a position of joy? Either look hard to discover the joy that’s already there, or create some of your own. When you create joy for others. You’ll be amazed how joy will come back to you.

    Do what the ladies at the ECFA did and be bold, take a stand, plant a stake in the ground for joy, regardless of what has happened before.

    Use humor to spread a little joy. Surprise people by being out of character. Look for puns, be playful with language. Point out incongruencies with a smile. Poke fun at yourself. It’s a great way to begin the year with joy.

    Be kind to someone, someone who doesn’t expect it or can ever pay you back. Who knows, maybe you’ll run into that person 45 years later and they’ll thank you for your kindness because it meant something to them so long ago, and they still remember.

    Lastly, let me and others know how this goes for you. I’d really like to hear from you about what you’re doing to begin the year with joy.

    You can comment in the “Leave a Reply” box at the bottom of the show notes. Or email your thoughts to me in an email, john@caringforothers.org.

    Closing

    I hope your thinking was stimulated by today’s show, to both reflect and to act. So that you will find the joy God intends for you through your relationships. Because after all, You Were Made for This.

    That’s all for today. See you next week. Goodbye for now.
