well Ima bout to go vent on one of my neighbor's (or her guest)...my inclination is to believe that she will fortunate if do NOT have to do that

STFU for crissakes

Works for me!

I don't get stressed out. I handle it by not letting it occur in the first place, preemptive strike as you will.

It's all about your philosophy in life if you do it this way.

It's not important enough to get stressed out unless it affects God, family or country...simply not important. And I believe in Freedom of all types...religion, politics, personal idealogy so it is hard to get me going in stress.

Kind of depends what I am stressed about.

If it is people stress I think I have to tolerate I usually just go work in my garden. Ripping up weeds and pruneing so forth is great substitute for wanting to rip somebodies head off.

If it is physical stress (pain) I try to distract myself with a craft or if it is accute then I may swim or soak in the hot tub.

Financial stress I try to tighten my belt, barter, and look for coupons.

Thing I have learned is whatever it is that is stressing you will either kill you, which in most cases means your problems are over, or it doesn't and then you have survived so you really don't need to stress over it.

up to 2008, I trained in martial arts, the forms or poomsaes helped to draw attn away from the stresser as you have to focus on your breathing, your pace, the form itself... but...for me, nothing relieved the stress better than getting the frustration out by putting on some gloves and punching and kicking the hell out of a heavy bag...to the point of exhaustion. I highly recommend it for anyone not finding relief by other means...For me stress these days is nothing compared to past years so it is pretty easy to deal with. Mingling seems to be just enough.

Music has always best my best refuge in times of stress.

I have learned long ago dont stress. Things dont change a bit just because you are stressing. Stress causes headaches,ulsers,stokes,and even heart attacks. Plus, didnt Christ say dont worry about tommorow?

For believers Christ said it. For everyone else Fleetwood Mac.

For me, I'm into both.

That's perfect for me too!!

Does throwing stress balls count?

no!!!!!!!!! no throwing at the nads...................

Goofy ...I said throwing them ..not throwing at them! I would never throw at the jewels!!!

How do I handle stress? With both hands and a wicked firm grip!

I laugh in the face of death!

Hahaha death, I laugh at you!

I find that shooting my bow works for me.

But the best way for me is to go out and shoot guns. (BIG GUNS)

The bang, the smoke and the target exploding makes me

feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I drink a glass of berry wine.

And if that doesn't help, St. John's wort
taken for 2 days.

Damn I thought you would like kayak and chit.......

That works too, but shooting works best for me.

How ya been?
