    everybody has said my favorite answer.

    If it's something that I'm frustrated about (a person or something), I take it out to the driving range...but people stare when I start screaming. I have a punching bag at home.

    If it's just me being overwhelmed, then I make lists. It helps me stay objective and moving forward about what's stressing me out. If I can deconstruct the problem, or put a timeline together, or make a to do list, divide and conquer... whatever... I feel better.

    Then I can have sex.
    (In my best Austin Powers voice) Yeah, baby! Yeah!

    ohhh honey, you haven't seen my night stand drawer! But the stress doesn't go like it does when you have a live human to take it out on!
    I stand corrected...But at least you don't have to listen to him snore afterwards...lol.

    When I am at my worst .. I mean ready to explode .. The thing I need the most is a good cry. THAT is like taking a pill for me.

    If I am pi$$ed off .. I tend to have the overwhelming urge to clean my fridge .. I know! I know! Yes .. that is REALLY weird..but effective.

    Which brings me to mind .. I haven't done that in a while .. so I might just have to break down and do it for no good reason at all (other than it needs it).

    When I need a get away, just to get away from the office, or home .. I go for a ride on my motorcycle. It's amazing how much peace that alone can bring me.

    For as long as I've been married .. one usually involves the other two.

    The gym has quickly become mine. Next would be music. Much healthier than my old habits for sure!
