I throw things at my co-workers.

stress handles me

I f the chicken. Every man who has anger management problems ought to own a few chickens. If he is truly monogamous, one chicken after another, not several chickens simultaneously.

In the city it's hard, because there are ordinances against keeping farm animals in living quarters. legally you can only keep a cow or a sow or a ewe at home, in your apartment on the seventeenth floor, if you prove to the inspectors that you have a sexual relationship with the said farming product. This can be done by bringing a lawyer's affidavit signed by either a 1. Veterinarian or 2. Marital Councellor or high school Sex Educator; and which affidavit will quote the expert witness as "sex" has happened.

Prior to bill Clinton days, the process was easier, but these days the courts have a harder time battling out the case, because there is no reliable social or legal definition of what constitutes "sex".

For instance:

- did you know that anal intercourse, and oral-to-genital sex is forbidden in seventeen states, for this very reason? In their effort to avoid undermining the city inspectors' job by proving that something is sex, or it is not sex. You can't do it -- no arguments, they are moot.

- did you know that in some jurisdictions of Pennsylvania and South Dakota, all human bodily touching is considered sex? Therefore people are not supposed to touch each other, only after marriage, so a typical mother has a hard time proving to the cops that show up to arrest her, that she was only trying to change the baby or bathe him.

- did you know that the federial criminal code has no wording for "rape"? It has been reclassified to "bodily assault", due, again, to preempt defence tactics of arguing that rape needs sex to be involved, and sex does not exist, in the legal definition at least. So touching someone with a fist in the face, or softly with your lips on her earlobe, are both assaults, if a lawyer wants it to be that. Much simpler, clearer-cut than the "sex" issue, had it been allowed to be dragged in into the courts.

Thinking dirty thoughts can help a lot.

I've found that exercise works best for stress relief, but stress doesn't always strike at a time or place conducive to exercise.

Laughter does help, especially at work. But I'm not always consistent with that either.

Like probably the vast majority of Americans, alcohol has been used at times, especially after a particularly rough day at work.

I've probably done a few other things to manage stress too. If I had to choose one standard way to always do it, I would choose exercise. And that includes certain forms of yard work that I like doing just for the workout, such as chopping wood.

Copious amounts of chocolate!



When in a relationship though ... other things work better

Sounds fair. Sex or skateboarding. Or writing.

drink tea and chill
listen to music

just remove myself from that situation for a few moments, hours, whatever.....I used to run or swim - lately more likely to go for a bike ride or a walk


for life if it's a man stressin' me - do NOT need that

I'm stress addict.

seldom if ever have sex to relieve stress

I have to be in "happy land" to feel sexual

I'm just weird I guess

I just eat and eat lots of food then put my headsets on , volume up , listen to music and forget the world

Vigorous masturbation

I never feel stress no matter what I do. If it gets done on time, it is, otherwise it's late. Oh well.

Honestly, if it isn't important enough to affect God, family or country it is not worth stressing over.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Sorry, didn't realize I already answered this.

I like to create things.

Physical work. I prefer the chainsaw and cutting up downed trees, but the axe can come in handy. Driving T-posts, etc. Depending on just how stressed, jumping on the horse and going for a ride helps too. Goofy horse can make one laugh...

I try to do yoga every morning.

1. Yoga and meditation definately works.
*When you get stressed, try not to stress or think about it, get on with life.
*I practiced so that if I get stressed, I tend to just forget about and go on, no need for clinging on it and cause harm to the body.

2. Exercise! Cardio is best for stress.

3. Music

4. Sex

5. My sister Mary Jane is a very good alternative.

Driving through rush hour traffic while hyped up on caffeine is a great way to relieve any kind of stress.



Wait, is there more than one kind?

My very favorite is to go driving in the car as you all know but I blast JAGGED LITTLE PILL and scream along to lyrics like "unabashedly balling my eyes out" and things like that.
