[SaBeR512]

hmm.....usually me and my buddies on the weekend get a few packs of beer and some cigars and just kick it. but during the week id say playing cs gets alotta crap of my mind.



:peace1:

[eNdOfBeGinNinG]

our family is into drinking for stress.. we are trying to find new ways, but this works best so far hehe

[LA_MERC_Nutria]

Nope no stress here.

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

i usually go into the fetal position after taking all my clothes off.

[Apocalypse]

3 things help me a lot...
1.) exercising
2.) drinking
3.) Frederick Winters - hypnotist :)

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

WTH!?!? You mean you can relieve stress??? Thanks for telling me.

Dont get Max started on TAB. We had a big 'ol convo about TAB vs standard notation and theory vs self taught.

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

lol - don't worry CFH - I took a lot away from our "discussion"

I'm not completly closed-minded!

[|Team Moped| Kripto]

I cant wait to relieve stress after finals next week... My girlfriend finally get's back from europe after spending 6 months studying abroad .... :ldm :xmas3

[}{y|3ri|)]

my family was in town this whole last week... the night they left i told my roomate to break out the Dr pepper... and BEAM.

How do i deal with stress? Laugh it off, think through it, or just have a tottal break down.

or.. not sleep.

[LA_MERC_CS Widow]

1) Beat the snot out of a pillow
2) Get nakey with a snuggy blanky and park in front of the t.v. with a drink
3) Exercise. When you start to get tired, go a little further running purely on anger.
4) Write about what you're pissed or stressed about. Don't leave out any cuss words, names, or descritions. Punctuation doesn't count and it doesn't even have to be legible. When you're done, tear it to a million pieces and throw it all away.
5) Think of how much worse things could be.

:kiss

[LA_MERC_BS]

Go to the gym, or go tear the streets up on the motorcycle.

[aCiD]

TABS ROCK! WOOOOOO!!!!!
naw hehehe jp my dad and i argue about which one is better all the time, he likes to read chords i read tabs, not serious arurement, just "musical arguments" :dance :dance :dance

[SnAkEbItE]

What I find works is this, I simply load up CS and who ever has pissed me off to the point where I'm stressed that day suddenly becomes everyone that I shoot, if I'm have a really sucky day and can't shoot for crap then I wind up just getting more pissed off and just quit walk away and just sit down and chill.

[LA_MERC_goose]

I have a tendency to get in my truck, turn the radio up, roll the windows down (as long as it's not 20 freaken degrees and freaken snowing) and drive until I am almost out of gas. Something about driving that relaxes me, I don't understand why with all the moron (women) drivers out there. lol - I'm joking ladies, please do not try to kill me, I'm still trying to fly south for the winter.

[LA_MERC_Sniper]

i have been stressed lately myself and sometimes well you know and if that doesnt work or if shes at work lol i have to play cs and if i play like i usually do i get more stressed and then i have to start over woohoo

[LA_MERC_M@lACHi]

Fish! Love to fish! Nuttin like a quiet day on the river trying to catch some big catfish and downing some canned goods.


or Sledgehammer to computer works wonders as well.

[LA_MERC_goose]

Always be wary of the Software Engineer who carries a screwdriver maybe this should read

Always be wary of the Systems Administrator who carries a sledgehammer
just a thought. lol

[LA_MERC_M@lACHi]

That works! HAHAHAHA!

[roXet]

I can't believe snake is the only one who said the same thing that I do, play some freakin' videa games!

I also will rock out to some music.

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

oh yea, play video games is what I do as well
Nothinhg better than to go on the computer and find a server full of MERC's to relieve any heartaches!!!

[SnAkEbItE]

I prefer to find a nub sever and get banned for hacking.

[Daedelus]

well in the old days i drank to much or drove my cars fast playing music i like.
never the 2 toghether that would be bad. but i havent really drank in like 10 years and sold the sports car and trucks for family car. so both are pretty much over.
so it seems like for stress relief i play cs where i can shoot things up.Dosent help if i get in and get owend it just ramps me up more!! so got re-evaluate that. other wise i usually just keep it inside and let it build up.
sometimes i really think about counsuling so that i dont let it grow inside me till i blow.
hasnt happened yet but some times it can just feel it.

[LA_MERC_Sabre]

I play hockey and put some people through the glass, or at the very least...let a slap shot go (as hard as i can) to the top corner of the net...if it misses and catches the goalie in the mask..well...hey...he chose the position, not me.

damn I love hockey!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT!!!!!!

[[sG] Dutchman]

I read...reading is VERY relaxing. And, I just got my guitar and had it restrung...so I'm going to be elarning how to play!

not to be rude or anything, but learn how to spell learning yesh lol

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Dutch...when you're able to spell, and to form words and thoughts properly in written form, then I'll listen to your suggestions. ;) Not to be rude or anything...

[Inferno]

Hey this is supposed to be stress free! UHHH.... I need a back rub. :hug1:

[Silent_Killer]

[SweetGirL]

1. shake-n-bake at the salon (or suntanning in the summer)
2. getting my nails done
3. getting a pedicure (toesies)
4. massage from a pro
5. day at the spa to include the above and facials
6. taking a drive to the beach to watch the sunset or kick around the sand
7. sitting in a very hot bath - with or without bubbles, not picky
8. writing letters/correspondence
9. reading medical books......including the Physician's Desk Reference (dont ask me why, just like skimmin' over that from time to time)
10. sewing
11. cooking
12. looking at boxes of childhood dolls, barbies, pictures, beads, jewelry - anything that brings back good memories of the past
13. balancing the checkbooks
14. picking on Drax
15. last but not least..................putting my kids to bed at night and shutting their doors.

[LA_MERC_Dragonlady[s]]

WOW SG You find number 13 as being relaxing? OMG I hate doing that it stresses me out so dang bad...

And number 15 I agree with SOOOO much... lol... 8:00 every night is MY TIME.. man kids sure do know how to stress someone out

[LA_MERC_goose]

My mom says the same thing DL, and I haven't lived in my mom's house for 10 years. lol

[LA_MERC_Drax]

14. picking on Drax

See, i knew i was good for something ;)

[npor]

There's lots of things I could list, but my main ones would be taking a hot shower/bath and listening to music, loud hard rock music :)

[LA_MERC_Nutria]

Now that I think of it.. shooting things can be relaxing. Go buy a 100 sleeve of blank cds, grab a gun and take to the field. They look real pretty when they shatter.

[LA_MERC_M@lACHi]

CD Shoot! The geek version of skeet shooting. I haven't thought about that one! LOL!

[LA_MERC_Nutria]

To save yourself a little cash just save those cds that don't work anymore.

[SweetGirL]

Dragonlady']WOW SG You find number 13 as being relaxing? OMG I hate doing that it stresses me out so dang bad...

And number 15 I agree with SOOOO much... lol... 8:00 every night is MY TIME.. man kids sure do know how to stress someone out
