    I didn't put you down as I said I was pointing out the obvious.

    All of your threads have the same theme. Oh the topic may vary but the theme is always the same! Well you have never taken any of the suggestions from any of the other board members over the years so I doubt you will start now.

    Take care!

    Whatever, miss perfect. I'm sure whatever you write is literary genius. I mean you write stuff like "stop and smell the roses" so it must be.

    I am far from perfect and I realize when someone says something you disagree with that you like to put them down to remind your self that you are indeed intellectually superior to them :roll:.

    Stuff that I do actually write, I don't share on here. You seriously need to get a sense of humour. Which I kind of figured you did have already as you start the same thread over and over again where people blatantly make fun of you yet you keep coming back for more.

    I haven't read anyone making fun of me. I only read you giving me shit for being stressed out. It's real mature of you to just keep insulting someone who's under a lot of stress. Grown ups have responsibilities that can sometimes make us stressed out and anxious. You'll learn that when, if ever, you become one.

    We can agree to disagree :)

    Now there is a cliche for you ;)


    btw not to be picky but I did say flowers and not roses...I will admit if I had said roses that would have been a bit too much of a cliche, but seriously when I walk through gardens or get some lovely flowers I can't help but smile a little :) I know that isn't the kind of simpleton thinking you are looking for but hey this is a Pearl Jam message board not Stephen Hawking's :)

    that you need a vacation? I've been feeling it for a while, but the past few weeks have been especially rough- it's been really hard to focus. I dunno what the purpose of this post is, just airing grievances I guess. There's no way I can take a vacation.

    yes.. and im on a short one right now. :mrgreen:
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    Just to hijack the thread. I do not find that vacations really serve as good stress relievers. You (I) end up working more before I leave and more after I get back and then you add into it the stress of planning the vacation, traveling, spending money, etc. and it just doesn't do anything to relax me.

    I'm not saying I don't like to take them, but I don't look at them as something I need in terms of an escape from a hectic life. I look at them as something I do because I want to go some where or do something different.

    I do think that as a society, we generally take too many of them anyway. It seems like everyone I know - except me - goes off on about 2 of them a year.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    haha I don't think that's a hijack, I think it's exactly on topic and an interesting point to make. I honestly have tended to agree with you in past. My ideal vacation would include at least a couple days at home on either end just to regroup and organize. I think one of the main reasons I am looking for a vacation for stress relief is the change of scenery and something to look forward- basically a break in the work. Like when you are in school, you have that motivation like, "when I just finish these finals, I can relax for two weeks" type thing. I think a major thing that's bothering me is I don't have any relief like that on the horizon. I just look to the next several years as day-in, day-out with nothing significant to differentiate the time. The past three years have all really blended together for me as just going to work and being stressed. I haven't even really produced many major memories in that time. So I really just feel like it would be a relief for me to have something to look forward to or work towards as well as just being somewhere for a week or two that is not my apartment or my office, and honestly I'd like to do a trip that involves a lot of biking or hiking or something so that I can get a break from the gym. Right now it just seems to be the whole routine that bothering me. I'm having major issues going to bed at night because it's like why bother? It's really hard to explain but I'm just like losing track of my life because it's all flowing together into one long work day or something. I'm having trouble working because I'm just like what's the point, I'm just going to be here tomorrow anyway.

    thanks. hearing about other people's beautiful vacations really helps in a situation like this.


    Geez no need for sarcasm huh?? :roll:
    You know we all have things to deal with and how we deal is different from one person to the next. Sometimes a change of scenery is very helpful.

    So true! I love a change of scenery...or even the same scenery, but a change in mindset and attitude :)

    I think it's really all about balance. It's hard to balance all our priorities...but so important! If it starts to get too heavily weighted on one side...I can really start to feel it and the result is not pretty! The balance changes depending on where I am in my life at any given point in time...there are times it will need to be more heavily weighted on work...other times more on family...and sometimes just on myself! The important thing is to sense that and make adjustments as needed...and we're really the only ones that can sense this and make adjustments to our own lives. Others can make suggestions and give feedback, but it's up to us to figure out what is right and then DO it. And so important to enjoy your life as much as you can in the given moment...or life passes by and you realize you've been miserable the whole time. It helps to have something to look forward to, but overall it makes much more sense to live in the present tense ;)

    Amen on all of that.

    There will always be stress in life, some beyond one's control. It's a matter of how you handle it, your state of mind. A big vacation isn't going to solve everything, but you have to decide what you want to do, and like she said, DO it. Life is too damn short.
    It helps to have something to look forward to, but overall it makes much more sense to live in the present tense ;)

    I keep reminding myself of that, all the time!
