SteveFord Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I smoke a lot, pace and play all of my guitars, one after the other. Today is a stressful day SO the Les Paul is up and at 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I gave up cigarettes, alcohol and stress. None of this is real anyhow. I'm going to wakeup any minute on a couch and it's 1976 and I'll go "Wow man, that was a freaky dream....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just pipe tobacco. I've had tube frame Buells for 15 years and just sold the last one off. Time marches on and away it went on a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerad12 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I can't wait to see big bill's response to this question! When stress tries to enter my life these days I just remember some sage advice from a famous orator from the 90's named Walter Sobchak "F it man. Let's go bowling."

Cougar Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Today is a stressful day SO the Les Paul is up and at 'em! That ought to work. In extreme cases, try a xanax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 That ought to work. In extreme cases, try a xanax. I like ya Cougar but I disagree. You’ll still wake up the next day in reality, the drugs will just prolong the inevitable and keep you from actually dealing with problems (while creating a huge new problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Drink some Beers & Play some Music! Great Stress reliever.... But not for a serious professional Gig situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I used to say xxxk it, and go on my merry way. I was young. Now, I hyperventllate and lay awake all night with a kind of tic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I too smoke cigs and get all pissed off and pace around when I am mad too. But, If I am real mad, I hop in my street rod truck and take it out for a spin with the hammer down. The loud pipes, big rocking cam and smell of exhaust and to top it all off with the torque pushing me back into my drivers seat really is great therapy. After all of that I am in a way better mood.

Retired Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Plenty of Sex!! Never have stress. Lol. Ha ha, just kidding but really, I never have stress and the wife is always jealous that I worry about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I listen to Dinosaur Jr live gigs from YouTube...no kidding they always make me feel much happier really fast!...and I read stuff that inspires wanderlust in me like Henry Miller or the Beat guys and lose myself in reveries of other (simpler) times and places. We have a new art gallery in 'town', so I should probably start dropping in there too. Hmmm...seems my common theme must be taking my head somewhere different and nice - finding my happy place!

rct Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Clicquot, ordinary Moet, good liquor maybe. A great meal either here or out. A half decent cigar. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 I have found the answer: guitars, pacing and smoking stressful event motorcycle ride two bowls of soup and then fall asleep watching the Philadelphia Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I don't usually stress out too much. But when I do, I just clam up. I can't enjoy playing guitar or listening to music or doing other enjoyable activities if I'm in a bad mood. I just have to wait for it to pass.

Karloff Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 take my dogs for a walk then drink beer. if I do it in reverse, it's more like taking them for a stagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

american cheez Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 420 works for some people, or so I've heard. - i smoke more weed, and play something obnoxious and loud. if it's above 50° i'll take a ride on the bike, or go fishin. if the weather is below 50 or if it's raining, then it's just weed and fetish porn.

kidblast Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Stress is usually a self inflicted wound. I try to live in the moment, keeps things a bit less complex... otoh, a dab of 420 and some playing is like antibiotics when you have a virus.
