In reply to the discussion: Everyone is feeling the stress of these last few days...I am, too. [View all]Major Hogwash

So, after years of dealing in super stressed out situations, I have gained much insight and experience on how to deal with it.
I start talking an awful lot to my 2 best friends:
Jack Daniels and Marry Wanna.
What one can't cure, the other one can.
And if not, by late at night, I no longer care.
There are always ways to deal with life's little ups and downs, like getting off of the roller coaster, stepping out of the elevator, or stop riding the escalator.
But, other than, it's just the way it is.
Life is funny like that.
It's a bitch, and then you die.
