  2. Keshi, the stress relief link takes you to a flash file (you would need Macromedia Flash Player to play it). The file or site is bubblewrap that when you move your mouse over the bubbles they pop and make a sound just like real bubble wrap does.

    You can download the player free from here: http://www.macromedia.com/

  4. Laidbare, who would have ever known that something designed to protect valuable in shipping would be so popular with millions for another reason--just the pure pleasure from popping them. Brings back a lot of childhood memories too. And lookie, now I can do it online whenever I want--lol.

    Thanks for stopping by.

  12. I learned a valuable lesson several years back from my family doctor.
    I had been having high blood pressure, and nothing seemed to bring it into a healthy range. My doctor spent some time with me trying to figure out my problem. After he heard about my job as truck driver, he shook his head and said. John.....it's the stress. Your job is stressful and that is the reason you have this problem with High Blood Pressure. Stress kills.
    I ask him rather meekly, "well, what can you prescribe to help with this problem?"
    To my amazement he answered. "John, you don't need any medicine, all you need to do is to understand stress, it is better to give than receive?"
    He told me to make a point of stressing out someone else each and everyday. It works. It really works, I make sure I am on the giving side of stress more than the getting side.
    You can probably see this practice of mine in my blog, I try to stress out at least one treehugging, tofu scarving, godhating, hollywoodpraising liberal each and every day. If I see a car with a John Kerry sticker passing me, I honk the air horn of my diesel truck. Sometimes they slow down and drive alongside of me and try to figure out why I honked. When I finally make eye contact, I give them the finger, and turn my left turn signal on.
    I am shameless. But liberals deserve some stress, the media has protected them far too long.
