what do you do to relax?
 

yea.. i need to do that.. (im home sick doing online class work which is tre boring)

give me some ideas, perhaps i should go out and buy that gas rc car i wanted months ago... oooo or go take up hang gliding, their is a place by my house that does it

Ideas? See recent 'Stoned Profesor' thread...;)

Kidding aside, I usually find that a good run clears my head and relaxes me at the same time.

running... gah. i think 2 seasons of cross country just ruined the fun in that for me :D

Nothing
 

When I was younger, the answer was nothing, meaning I rarely took the time to relax. Now, the answer is nothing, meaning doing nothing at all is the most relaxing thing I can think of.

Most of the hobbies I have had end up being too stressful, because I get so intense and involved in them that they cease to be relaxing anymore.:o

Good luck in your quest for relaxation.

Thanks, Black
 

Okay, you reminded me there ARE a few things that are relaxing.

Walking with my girl friend and good sex. THAT's relaxing.:D Intense, but relaxing. I guess it's been too long if I forgot to mention that the first time. . .

I retreat to the dungeon where I practice Yoga and if it's been a particularly difficult week, I'll smoke a beer.

right now, with my current condition, hopefully this won't shock anyone but when i come home to relax i smoke my pipe and watch the boob tube.:) sometimes i even fall asleep.

Cherry tobacco? Um I love pipe and cigar smoke.

i like pipe tobacco too, but i always use an "alternative" smoking material. It really helps me to relax. I work 10-12 hours a day and with the way i feel right now, it really helps to be able to just come home, sit down in my recliner and not think about anything except getting all the seeds out.

oh...

What's up, Diesel?
 

I guess I missed something. What's up with you Diesel? I'm sorry you're not feeling too well.

Yeah, definitely get all the seeds out first or else avoid wearing synthetics. I put on a new UnderArmor tee shirt the other day and lit up (a cigar) only to discover a big hole :eek: in the front when I got up to go inside.

Someone said that was a target...

No, I don't think it was from Target, maybe Walmart. Whaaaaa . . ?

i have a chronic form of Guillen-Barre syndrome called CIDP (chronic inflamatory demylineating polyneuropathy) and it makes my legs and hands hurt, makes it difficult to walk, and makes me tire easily. It's all i can do right now to keep the job. i'm getting treatment for it and slowly i am getting better.:)

I'm sorry to hear that
 

Is that something from which you can recover, Bill, or does "chronic" mean that it's a permanent condition? I've never heard of it before.

I'm sorry to hear you have it, though.
