Hi,
Found you through "BE" I found that very interesting to read and like the philosphy used by your hubby.
Feel free to drop in and say Hi.

Carl is definately my type of person. Treasure him...they make life interesting.

LOL, sounds like something my husband would say!

Dropped by via BE...funny and interesting site here!

Honey........have you seen the matches?

Hi, I found you through BE. That is definetely an interesting way to look at stress.

I hope that the waiter wasn't my little brother. He's in school full-time, in a play (he's a theater major), in a dance company, and still working in some capacity (waiter? who knows) at a BR country club. He finally lowered his stress levels by dropping a class and deciding he doesn't have to graduate in May, but I wondered how he could handle the rest. Until I remembered my own workload my last year or two at LSU. I will have to tell him the thing about being on fire. Thanks!

I think this one said he was a biology major, and it was at the new Walk Ons Restaurant. Which is a chain, and I usually hate chains, but I wanted fried shrimp and didn't want to fight the crowds at Mike Anderson's. But I know what you mean -- I think back to when I went to school full time, worked 3/4 time, two kids, and somehow managed to write full scripts for class... I can't even begin to understand how I did it and stayed sane. (okay, no debating the sane part!)

That is so funny!! I wish I could have seen it. Meanwhile, it's getting a little hot in here. I better check the smoke alarms. :)

I had a therapist when I was a teen. I suffered from GAD, generalized anxiety disorder. I still have it but it is much more under control. I dont use drugs either. My therapist, also named Carl btw, asked me what I thought the very worst thing in the world would be. I being the 13 year old daughter of a fire fighter replied "being on fire would be the worst thing." He asked, "Well, are you on fire?" I laughed and said "No!" he looked at me and grinned and said, "Well then if you are not on fire you must be ok". That has become my moto. I am 36 and still use it. If I am not on fire I am ok.

Love and Light,
Robyn

sounds like my hubby too!

LOL. I like the way you both think.

Stress, to me, though, is not being on fire. At least when you're on fire you KNOW the solution!

Stress is having been doused in gasoline and the ex is holding a box of matches.

THAT is stress.

Heh. That cracked me up.

I wish your Carl could come talk to the Hunter. We need a little perspective around here!

no joke, i told someone that not lighting yourself on fire means you're having a good day...because days when you do set yourself on fire never go well.

man...what are the chances?

I will have to remember that one!

Found you through BE... loved this entry, it reminds me of my husband, although he says when things sucking "it is always better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!"
