    I very rarely get that type of stressed anymore. My stresses are usually either work or money related. But when I do get stressed, I like to do some of the following:
    Work on a project
    Drive somewhere beautiful
    Drink a glass of really good wine - one that in some way I have a connection with.
    go on a bike ride
    fuck (perhaps I should have put this one earlier on the list)
    write or cook, something creative

    What other people suggest that doesn't work for me:
    Drink or smoke to intoxication
    go to the gym
    yoga / meditate

    It puts the lotion on its skin so Further doesn't get stressed again...

    I go onto forums and I draw them into arguments that cannot be won by either side.





    Oh, and I also make fun of Slypokerdog.

    Can always go the american way.

    Eat more chips and watch more sitcoms on the couch and stay up all night and turn into a stressed out zombie.

    I don't deal with stress, I eliminate it. Ignore on forums is your friend. There is no reason to ever argue with anyone online. In a lot of cases the argument is all they are after anyway, so why give them the satisfaction?

    Stay away from caffeine and sugar, they tend to make a person more anxious.

    As far as apartment living goes, dead neighbors are the quietest so move near a cemetery. Sorry, I can't help you with live neighbors. Nor does this imply that I can help you make your live neighbors, dead neighbors. :tongue:

    If all else fails, we'll see you on the 5 O'clock news! :smiley-chainsaw:

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Further mentioned driving somewhere nice. Now that I have a nice, comfy Cadillac SLS land yacht to drive, I'm going to do just that. Something which I wasn't able to do in the little shitbox Kia I drove. I might even go camping.....I did that a lot when I was in Scouts.

    So today I'm driving to Camas to Top Burger, which my mother used to take my sister and I to when we were kids. I might find some nice road in Washougal to drive on too.

    Amen. Until I get a tent and sleeping bag though, driving is going to be my cure. Just found this site:

    https://www.myscenicdrives.com/regions/washington

    Wouldn't mind driving on the Ice Caves route of Highway 14. But that's a bit far for me today.

    So I'm off to Camas, and then the Silver Star Scenic Area. :hello:

    great choice - just remember not to let traffic or road assholes get under your skin. When you drive for relaxation- you have nowhere you need to be.
