awh STRESS
« on: March 06, 2007 - 07:40:52 AM »
I think I need to just go find a pond today and skip rocks

I have been wound really tight here the last few weeks



I thought I would build another computer to put my mind on something else, but it went together in one night and now I'm done.  Nothing like having 5 computers for no apparent reason just sucking up electricy at 600 watts each.

I just put together a
ASUS  M2N-E mother board
AMD 4200 dual proccessor 64 bit
2 gig ddr2 533 memory
250 gig hd drive
And a radeon x1300  512 mb ddr2 memory video card

It seems to be very fast to go no where since I'm on dial up.


Yeah, I'm going to go skip rocks....it's cheaper and less stress.....  I need some time to adjust to everything here lately....doctor tomorrow.......10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 ...I feel a bit better now

Sorry about the silly post...ALAN

Al, thats one hefty video card.  I got the 256 in my Dell a year or so back, and that thing doesnt skip a beat when I play my games.  They actually run too fast   :jumping:

Take it easy Al, skipping rocks is way more fun than most things nowdays anyway. 

Well, burning rubber is kinda fun too  :burnout:

AL,
Give your self a treat and go get a Nice theraputic massage. It will make you feel better and more relax. Go for the 90 minute with a good certified therapist and you won't regret it. I'm sure it will be cheaper than building another computer that you don't need.
I may be a little bias because I am a massage therapist but it really works on relievingstress if you get a good therapist.

I gotta get a few things done here today for a couple of members here. I keep forgetting, or just get tied up having to go to another town all day. I have stopped replying to want adds since I can't seem to get the stuff in the right boxes or I send stuff to a wrong address.  And I got a bunch of e body stuff I really would like some members to benifit off of.  In a town of 307, I guess I'd say my wife would be the person to rub my tention out/ or in..lol

But the sun is warming up the day, so I will go for a walk in the woods a bit, and just listen to nature.

I see you use good parts, you must have to fix things if they break.

I didn't want to break my 340th post but hey, gotta do it sometime!  Depending on where you live, nothing gets rid of a stress like a sunny day cruise in a favorite car :thumbsup:

Is taking car of your Dad getting stressful?  I know when my Dad had back surgery it got me pretty stressed helping to take care of him.

You have to find your own time and set it aside everyday just to "fool around".  I like to build model cars or hang out here. If you go skip some rocks, bring a fishing pole too!

That sounds like a good idea.  I also like to just sit on the porch and just watch the wild animals play.

I know what you mean about stress!  I have been working double shifts, 7 days a week for the last 2 months.  The girl that works for me and lives at my kennel was in a car accident and broke her leg so I have been covering for her.  I have 2 theraputic things that ease my stress normally and that is driving my Cuda and playing with my dogs.  The problem is that I can't drive my Cuda due to winter and my dogs tend to get on my last nerve when I have been caring for dogs from 7AM-9PM everyday.  I think I need a vacation for sure.  I must say though, this site helps a lot, when I have been able to get on.
