I like chasing chickens a lot, too. Super stress reliever, let me tell ya! What you do is come up behind one and scare the crap out of 'em like this.

I put DixieGal's cornbread casserole into the oven.

Its there now.

And let's not forget one of the best stress reducers ever: creating avatars for zelda_pinwheel. That girl would wear old rags if we didn't keep making new ones so it's all for a good cause. And, if you want to give it a whirl, don't worry if yours isn't very large and elaborate cuz pshwynkies likes it best when she's hardly wearin' nuttin' at all.

Ssshhh...you'll embarrass her ... and cause her stress!

You know what happens when you eat 1/2 recipe of DixieGals cornbread casserole?

Your brain goes into a coma and you feel NOTHING!

Best stress reducer of all time.

In addition to ones I checked off, I also "get the heck outta Dodge;" in other words, just get out of town for a while. Sharing with friends helps a lot too (I'm surprised that wasn't on the list when doing so with animals was). The best stress relief I ever experienced was when I got fed up with the B.S. at the last job I had, took the rest of my vacation, then called in and said I wasn't coming back. Friends said they could see the difference in me before I had even called in for the last time.

I think its hilarious that there are way more stress ball throwers than users.......

I'm surprized so many people own the stupid things.
You're better off just going out and strangling some idiot.
It's cheaper and a Hell of a lot more theraputic than sitting around playing with your.....Look! I found a ballpeen hammer!

Hmm, apparently I ate some of DixieGal's cornbread casserole at some stage.

For stress I retreat, ignore, seal-up, collapse, become a singularity from which none of my own dim light can escape.

I read, play the Fool online, and if I need to get out of the house for some essential reason, sometimes use a couple of shots of vodka as a heart-starter.

That is to say, I don't handle stress. Sometimes I break stuff (but I make sure it's only my own) before it breaks me. Sometimes I feel that utter independence and complete disconnection from every outside source...turning off...would be the best way to go.

Cheers,
Marc
