Time to relax...

What does everyone do to relax when they get stressed or need to take their mind off something?

I was sitting here attempting to draw VSEPR models, when I needed to get my mind off of something, so I broke out my bottle of Mr. Bubble. That's right. I sat here for the past 15 minutes blowing bubbles and watching them fall back down around me. Slightly odd perhaps...but surprisingly, it does help.

Alas, back to the laboratory notebook...

To relieve stress, and generally just relax:

Kick the wife and beat the dog!! (J/K)

I like to go to the hills, find a nice rock, kick back and watch the world go by.

others would be,

drink beer and fire off the bbq.
drink more beer and watch the tube
fish (and drink more beer)
hunt
make the bed squeak

Well, I don't really get stressed (new thread about stress coming soon), but if I'm bored and want something to do that requires little energy, I like to either drive straight for as long as possible and see where I end up, or sit on a beach (preferably with big rocks) and throw rocks into the water.

Nah, that's Alaska, which, may I remind you, is actually the US

True, but parts of Canada are farther north in latitude (and sometimes attitude) than Alaska.

I'm not banging on Canadia, or it's occupants, just joking around.

When did they run telephone lines to igloos??

I know, I'm just joking back We make fun of Canada all the time too

They run telephone lines to our igloos because the nearest neighbour igloos are 10 minutes away by dogsled in -60 weather. Phones became necessary

This is EXACTLY why they have the cable channel "Lifetime For Women" :hehehe:
Every Sunday is "Men are jerks" movies...you have the bad husband and the victimized wife.......

just teasing ya


For stress relief...and that depends on the level of stress....I ususally nap, throw in a DVD, or get on the computer. I take long drives when the weather is too nice to stay inside. If my hunny's not availalbe then I will take my little dog along for the ride.

It's a good thing they don't have a Lifetime for Men channel.. Then the truth would be exposed.

They would show movies like:

Man goes to work, busts his butt, comes home to filthy house, sent to store to get food for dinner and tampons.

Comes home from store, cooks dinner, does homework with kids, cleans house, all while his abusive wife yells at him.

One day he gets fed up, yells back, gets arrested for spousal abuse, while in jail, wife files for divorce, gets house, kids, cars, and 90% of his paycheck.

Now that I think of it, that would probably cause men to do self castrations!!!

I like to take my car up along the twisties, in the mountains. We have this nice little lake, with lots of curves around it. It takes me about 35 minutes to drive around the entire lake. Then about another 15 to make it back down the mountain. I find the best time to do this is late at night, when you dont have to fight with big ass motor homes.

I take a nice hot, long shower. Baths are for women.

Hmm...somehow I don't think you'd object to a long bath if a woman invited you in... :right:
