I added it. I was unsure what would happen to the vote count if I moved it higher on the list, so I put it at the bottom.

Thank you, Dreams!

Chicken! I sometimes turn to (or on) my chicken when I need to destress. Where is that little rascal, anyway?

*sigh* I can't add it, or rather vote for it

Well, I suppose you could turn to April Hare, or Pooh?

I ain't adding no more!

If you feel their life force, you're petting them in the wrong spot.

Now I'm stressed! [and running again]

I have been known to hug trees when I'm stressed.

I've found that rolling my feet so I'm not always on the outside of my foot helps no end with preventing shin splints...

... also, not running would help

Hmmm. I play Everquest and I do my various hobbies.

At present my hobbies are my dice collection. Drawing maps with my copy of Campaign Cartographer. Drawing deck plans of starships with the Cosmo add-on for CC3.

Read, lots of reading.

Recently, I have started going through boxes I have stored for a few years to see if I need to keep or toss the papers and other itemsin them.

I have found in recent years that the more I pray, the less stress I suffer.

I guess a lot of life's problems seem unimportant to me now.

I cook something special and elaborate, that requires fancy ingredients, and a few passages. like stuffed zucchini flowers,

or a rich flavorful gateau di patate.

than i put in the fridge a couple of bottles of a sexy rosè and invite to dinner the prettiest woman I know that is ready to accept the invitation on such a short notice. I explain to her the situation and that I need her to give me back some mental sanity, and sense of proportions. In other words I guarantee a pleasant evening, which is what it turns out most of the times.

Whatever happens stress control is guarantee, even if I am stuck with only myself as company.
