Dixon1990 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 An even better Question What do you guys do when your frustrated about something going wrong with tanks ie setup of tanks that need to be used in the next couple hours(ie moving house) or when the tank breaks in early hours of the morning(ie 1-4pm)? I just felt like punching something when it happened to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeh_buddy Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I cry... nah try to fix it then go in a huff and spend the rest of the day surfing the internets and books trying to know everything possible about the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museeumchick Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 If theres just a problem thats annoying rather than difficult to fix i just get into it, if i'm stressed or avoiding something stressful (which doesnt help with stress in the long run) i visit people or eat junkfood, or dance, or go for a walk or bug my flatmates or bake (an afternoon cooking can be very relaxing - unless you have to do it), or clean the flat (but only in extreme circumstances).

Spink Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 does anyone know that mantra type thing that people often say at those...ummm.....meetings? Not asking if anyone's an alcoholic or anything, but it goes something like God grant me the serenity to accept the things i can't change, blah blah Anyone know the whole thing, I'm really curious to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. I know this from watching Dexter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spink Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 isn't it weird where that saying comes up! I'm sure I've seen it in the movie Anger Management as well, but I can never remember it when i need it! Thanks TinyTawnyKitten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I believe it is; God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the abilty to hide the bodies of those who have p**ed me off!

helen2289 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Just wondered what everyone else does when they're stressed out? I was on a bummer yesterday - got turned down for another job, AGAIN - and so I went on a cleaning binge and had a BIG tidy out of my laundry. If it's not cleaning, it's gardening but that's more of a relaxing thing for me. So, what do you do when stressed out? spink i just read your first post. ill give you the keys to my palce so next time you are stressed you can clean it!

firenzenz Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 when I get stressed I retire to a quiet corner, start eratic breathing then develop whitespot!

Tigger Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Did you know that the equivalent of methyline blue for humans is wine Now I didn't know that, I will have to remember that one :lol: When I am stressed I like to turn my music up and sing along at the top of my voice! Thank goodness for detached houses and a husband on late shifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 i play guitar... but lately have taken a laid back attitude that whatever it is thats bugging me/ stressing me, isnt so huge in the overall picture of things, and theres always a way around it. my favorite sayings atm: tommorow the sun will rise again and a new day shall begin... if we dont make it alive, its a hellova good day to die...

alanmin4304 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I was shouted by a friend to a lecture many years ago by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a Swiss psychiatrist who wrote books and lectured on death and dieing. She said that the Swiss had a saying and she would try to translate it: " You cannot have the summer without the winter, the day without the night or the sunshine without the rain, and if you could orgasm continuously day and night who would wash the dishes?" I always remembered that and it was over 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
