Wow that’s more than I can do

WTH is a burpee? That’s where I buy seeds for the garden!

I got tired half way through reading this. Good on ya.

You lost me at pushups. If I get down there, I’ll never get up๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sounds like you’ll be in gr8 shape for your June 15th performance ๐Ÿ’•

And you are still alive

I rode my bike around the block twice. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I got tired just reading that.

That's great!!

Movement is Medicine

What is a Russian ball twist?! it sounds like something that should be done to Putin ๏ฟผ

You go girl!

Seriously? Does just typing the words count as "doing"?

What? No Silly Walks? ๐Ÿฅบ

In Russia ball twists you!

Your back is strong if you can handle Burpees! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

That’s all? ๐Ÿ˜›

Paula, you should do an exercise tape! You’re about the only person I could bear to watch doing a Burpee.

GREAT photo!

Boy, those ping pong parties were wild!

BEST. PICTURE. EVER.

I always swing at the wrong ball when I play Ping Pong also.

THAT is a rad pic!

Puttin’ out a firestorm of ping-pong balls. Cool.

Funny woman

All those balls flying at you must have been a traumatic experience. Are you ok?

Crazy pic

Oh no! You’re caught in a solar system!

Jeez, Paula!

There are many venues called The Paramount. I had to search to find out which one! Not in San Francisco.

I just gave my cat Harrison his twice a day liquid medicine. As always, more of it went in me than went in him. ... See MoreSee Less

Comment on Facebook

My torti...hateful hazel...is on liquid meds once a day for 8 days.....it's gonna be a LONG 8 days... Ps. I'm taking bandaid donations

Eyedrops for cats are fun, too! How does the vet do it so easily? I did notice it takes two, vet & vet tech, to put the drops in. Plus, the cat has more respect for paid professionals.

Good thing it's not insanely expensive!

I had to give my bunny ear drops for two weeks. Every time I put them in, he shook his head and sprayed them all over my face. ๐Ÿคฃ

Liquids are the worst, imho. I prefer pill dosage - if possible - b/c there is such a thing as a pill syringe that shoves it down their throats w/you you getting bit... my Siamese was not too happy I figured her out but it certainly kept her healthy and with us for a long time. Note: we were a 7 cat household that went to 0 - then with the inclusion of my husband's last feral from his last work place (spca wouldn't take her; said too aggressive; wth? she's super shy - never aggressive w/us at all OR our vet... meh...) ANYWHO all that said I consider myself a non-vet-tech (subQ; diabetes injections, etc.) and the pill poppler doo-dad is that way to go for both furry kid and self; imho...

What is he getting the medication for, if you don't mind me asking?

I hoped you meant “on,” not “in” when I read the tweet.

How is your coat?

Well then! I'm sure you will be the better for it!

Hope it was ON you rather than IN you. No major scratches on you I hope.

Let's hope it wasn't a suppository...

Is it helping your cough?

We went to the store in person today and picked up our new one. The last of a long line of fine cats left us some weeks ago. We had to get over seeing her in every corner, looking for her first thing in the morning ... The new little fellow is staying invisible as he gets accustomed to his new home. And he is on everyone's mind.

You are already paying for them and you kinda did. I just moved to Texas with my 4 stupid but lovable cats. I converted my garage into a private cat rescue with a catio in order to rescue me from the little monsters.

Slugs, I tellya. Slugs.

Dang, I got one also! Must be a new scam...a cat scam.

Well, they probably weren't expecting you either.

Of course the meezer has a spring toy and banana toy in the box they're in! All ready to play when the nap is over! ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ’œ

No, that's just the soft packing material. I think it might be made out of cat fur.

You may not have Ordered them Paula,but believe me you are definitely paying for them!! LOL

It's the cat distribution system at work.

Apparently Meta AI can help with that

Might be expensive to ship back. They might let you keep them. ๐Ÿ˜

I too enjoy resting in boxes

But the boxes…. They know you ordered the boxes…

Well obviously they just showed up! So I agree, you shouldn't be held liable. ๐Ÿ˜‰

What kind of cat do you have? Boxers Boxer is not a breed of cat [Shows photos] Boxers.

Cat distribution system

I listened to your last book and you describe sleeping on the floor. Now that your kids moved out, do you still do that?

Needs more packaging peanuts.

You didn’t wander into that pet store again, did you? ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ™ƒ

I'll take the black and Siamese (mutt or not) off your hands, both are typical for my family since the '60's. ๐Ÿ˜€

No return policy on the furballs, you're stuck with them

And bless you for taking in so many worthy cats. ๐Ÿ’•

I’ve always heard that dogs dig physical comedy…

This is why there are so few successful canine comedians. A dog will bust a gut watching another dog drop a bone on a laptop keyboard. Humans just groan.

Just being helpful ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just don't let her leave it in the middle of the floor where you can step on it barefooted and limp around for weeks.

She knows a funny bone when she drops it! lol ๐Ÿ˜…

I mean, so do I!

๐Ÿ˜‚ Even your dog is funny!

She's not wrong!

She's right!

I am surprised it's not her ball

She wants to play.

Cntrl-Alt-Feed me!

That is an editorial comment if I ever saw one.

Well that’s just because it is. What makes it funnierer is you fail to see the obvious humor. The cats see it, they just don’t care. They’re more Bob Newhart humor than Sam Kinison humor in my experience. But what do I know, Moe is you dog and your cats are yours and I got side tracked here. Somewhere. Yea Moe! Great workout!

Moe knows funny.

It is funny!

And it is!

It is!

No Moe!

THANK YOU, Paula. Now I can check that off my bucket list, but I’ve added “See Paula Poundstone live AGAIN” to the list.

I'd been waiting for a hot minute to see you here in NYC and I did not dare miss this chance! You were magnificent! I was curious to see the suit you'd wear - you did not disappoint! I laughed at all of your "little jokes" and hope you enjoyed your stay in our city, walking down and back that one single street! I hope you chose a good one, you Tony award winning musical! I'm already looking forward to your next visit. (Oh, and tell Bonnie I'm vexed at her not having sent the theatre a window card for you. I searched the whole of the theatre facade to find it. Theatre person said it's up to "Paula's ppl" to send them. ๐Ÿ˜ก) Thanks for a wonderful evening! ๐Ÿซถ

So sparkly!!

I was there in the second row, now the 8th time I've had the pleasure of hearing you tell them in person, at venues all over the country. You were amazing, as always! Hope you enjoyed seeing some of my Photoshop doodlings! Much Love to you Paula! Thanks for the laughs!!!

We are so excited for you Paula! I know you have been waiting to tell them in New York for a while. I have no doubt there was laughter all around!

Congratulations ๐ŸŽŠ ๐Ÿ‘

Paula, looking forward to seeing you in Madison in August! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ

That looks like Andrew Weissman, the prosecutor who's always on MSNBC.

Why Paula, you were wonderful. Thank you Andrew Weissman. I hope you found the humor as intelligent as you. Awww Paula, I did find it very clever, and thank you. I wish I had your brilliant sense of humor. Oh, I’m sure you do Andrew. It takes intelligence to tell clever jokes and you prove your intelligence time and time again. Thank you so much Paula. And by your own admission, you too are as intelligent as you are witty. Oh, you’re too kind Andrew….

So happy for you! And you’re with Andrew Weissman? I’m so geeking out right now!

Just had to let you know what a great show at the town hall. Thank you, thank you for making my tummy hurt from laughing so much. WELL WORTH THE PAIN LOL !!!! And how sweet and kind of you to take the time to take pictures with all your fans. My sister and I are the ones from the Paw House. Our cats would like to thank you as well for the adorable little toy. Boy, do they love that catnip. I must apologize, I forgot to ask how your cat was doing. Hope he is doing better.

GREAT show last night. My daughter was the one yelling from the balcony about teaching about medical insurance.

What a GREAT photo and I love your outfit Paula !!!!!!

Dear Paula, What a great photo and is that Andrew? You are both brilliant! Admiration and love from the Big Apple.

Two of our favorite thinkers !

I love your shoes! Always haveโฃ๏ธ

you keep good company Paula

I love The Lambs Club!

Omg! You and Andrew! Perfect!

Lucky you to spend time with Andrew! Laughter is a balm in the weird times we live in (for both of you.)

Love the suit. Funniest woman on the planet or fwotp. Fun to say.

Look who you found!

Good company. Jude

Gotta love some Andrew and of course Paula as well.

it was!

Love your outfit โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

When are you coming to northeast Iowa??

Where are you standing? Looks lilke a lovely lobby....

Please come back to Saugatuck Michigan or Kalamazoo ๐Ÿ˜

PAULA POUNDSTONE stop in to check on my little granddaughter who lives there and working in a museum. Tell her hello. Lol

At first glance I thought that was my dog at your feet. I thought now I know what she does when I leave the house.

I am a huge fan. Enjoy watching Andrew too!

Looks like a chair I saw by the side of the road yesterday!

We enjoyed your show so much! You are a gift to the World Paula!

Yeah, the renowned Town Hall ! I hope you told ‘em good Paula !

Boy New York has fallen on hard times! I saw that chair in a thrift store. I hope it was at least comfortable and didn't smell too bad.

You told us! ๐Ÿ’ƒ And we loved every minute of it!

You were amazing! And it was such a treat to see you in that awesome setting. Perfect ending to a perfect evening with friends.

That one looks like one of those "possessed" chairs where the arms might grab you if you sit in it!

Lucky folks in NYC!!

Looks like a frat house chair.

That chair is entirely held together by fart residue.

We saw you there, and I wondered what kind of chair you were given beforehand. I can die happy now โค๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ

That chair has seen a lot.

New York-A cozy little ‘burg

Knitting chair.

This is called a, “Fart silencer” chair.

Looks comfortable

You may not get up from this one! That's telling them

Looks comfy!

that could probably use some Febreeze

It's a good think you didn't fall asleep in that comfy chair.

That chair has seen better days๐Ÿ˜ข Hope your stay improves, or a very short stay.

I'm walking here!

Was someone living in that chair? Did you have to pry them out of it? I bet the rent was over $1500 a month!

Did they listen?
