Stress relief

“We're all under a great deal of stress. Brings to mind a site which has always given me a sense of peace. Scroll down to the pictures. Should load in a few seconds.

The images also represent the greatness of America and what it has to offer each of us and the world as a whole.

The United States is more than a nation; it represents unbounded potential for all who have the will to grasp for it.”

“Admittedly I posted this link after a few deep drags of very fine California zinfindel. But as anyone who has ever been to the California coast will recognize, the pics on this link are representative of the greatness of this land we live in.

California has been described as "America and more." How true. And the California coast is the epitome of this greatness.

I suspect that bin Laden's bitterness stems in part from a resentment that he was not born in such a blessed land as ours. By viewing these pics we can affirm a sense of appreciation for our good fortune and perhaps gain a window of insight into our antagonist's psyche.”

“Pass the Zin. Valley of the Moon had some great ones when we lived in CA.”

“"Say Goodnight Dick"

"Goodnight Dick"

Rowan and Martin.”

“Yup, pass it around!”

“Another great California pic”

“Why are we up?”

“I was going to say... What time is it there? Does this board register Eastern Time?

I think there are lots of people who aren't sleeping well, MP.”

“It was a quarter to four when I posted that.”

“I thought I was the only one who was up early.”

“Late to bed and early to rise.”

“SERENITY NOW!”

“Stress relief = going to REI

bye”

“Hmmm. Maybe that is what I should do. Our store just moved into new digs. What do I need?”

“Pathman, it is not a question of NEED

it is a questions of WANT

got it?”

“I write to relieve my stress
in no time I forget the mess
maybe this won`t work for you
but, if nothing else, it`s something to do
so I write, when I want to have a fit
and before I can think, I`m over it
stolen thoughts, or moments as if some thief
I write the hurt away, to gain some relief”

“for the last two days, I have had the worst pain in my neck. It's on the left side of my neck. It feels like a pinched nerve, but Im not sure if thats what I did to it.
I mean it hurts!!
how do you get rid of stress?
or at least get control of it. I really don't feel to stressed. more tired then stressd.”

“Sleep is the answer, or good sex. ;)”

“Hike. Paddle. Climb. Fish. Spend quality time with your dog. Stress be gone.”

“Chiropractor!”

“it hurts to even tilt my head up to kiss treebead, so I think the sex part is out. sorry treebaby.
I had a hard time even carrying my backpack to school last night.


UGH”

“Well heck treebeard, I tryed to help you out. ;)”

“GGGGS, you are a good man.”

“Does the pain in your neck lessen the further away from Treebeard you get? This could be a sign! LOL!”

“Nigal, you are not helping...”

“treeman is probably the pain in her rear! ;)”

“ASSMAN!”

“it felt better this morning, but as the day went on, it has gotten worse.

I just have NO time to get to a doctor. I know its not a big deal, just looking for a little (grown up LOL) advice...”

“I get that crick in my neck from too much beer. Having the head tilted back so much ya look like a Pez dispenser tends to do that. I'm surprised Tree isn't the one with the pain from tilting all your Corona back.

Am I helping now Tree?”

“Maple, in all seriousness, I feel your pain. I woke up on my birthday in July with the worst pain I've ever felt in my neck. I couldn't turn my head to the side, or lean it back to wash my hair in the shower. It was awful. I visited my chiropractor and got a massage. I had some tremendous knots in the muscles in my shoulders. I was in tears a few times it hurt so much. Pain lessened immediatly after my massage, and went away completely in a few days.

About two months ago, same thing happened. This time it was on the other side of my neck, and started at work right after lunch. Did the same thing, chiro and massage, and it helped again. I'm becomming a big fan of massage.”

“just looking for a little (grown up LOL) advice..."

“did you say 'Sheep is the answer'?



Man, I gotta get rid of this monitor...”

“Tiger Balm! Extra strength! Run, don't walk!”

“thank you smiley for your grown up adavice. LOL I did this a long time ago and went to a chiro...I swear I will never ever go to one again....”

“LOL you turkeys!!


Im starting to look like a stupid question mark.”

“Thank you, Nig. But, I think it fell on deaf ears...”

“I had what I thought was a really bad pinched nerve in my neck about a year ago. I went to the doctor, and it turns out it was a sprained neck. I suggest you go to the doctor. If he/she prescribes you the same medication as I got, trust me, you won't be feeling stress at all.”

“Squeeze off a few rounds from a AK-47. Always helps.”

“LOL

can you say "rubberband man"”

“Squeeze off a few rounds from a AK-47. Always helps."

think bacpac would volunteer for the great cause?”

“thats it?

have sex and hike?
thats all you can come up with?
well if i have sex on the trail, does that count?”

“Okay, how about this:

Apply wet heat to your neck and take a Midol. I've got a couple of things I use to apply wet heat, one is a cherry pit pack, basically just a cotton sack full of cherry pits. You stick it in the microwave for a couple of minutes, and put it on the affected neck muscle. When it cools off, do it again, repeat until muscle is relaxed. Another is a similar bag filled with dry corn instead of cherry pits. They both get moist when heated up.

Some people alternate with an icepack. Personally, I don't like that, as cold on my neck makes me tense it up again.

The Midol should have a muscle relaxer in it, but it will be a pretty mild one. You can substitute alcohol, which is a pretty good muscle relaxer.”

“Aren't you moving soon? It's gotta be the stress. Get the move over and done then I'd go with the good sex advice.”

“we have a water bed. have not used it in about 7 years....


hee hawww baby!!!”

“Hey BP. Where f__k am I going to get a bag of half eaten, out of season cherry pits?”

“sheesh maple, just skip the kissing and get straight to the good stuff! i mean, kissing has its place, but don't let it get in the way of a good time.”

“LMAO @ Tree Blood!!

(sorry about the neck, Mapes.)”
