@shahnm I don’t really drink, not regularly at least, but I have a bottle or two of wine (& beer) in the house just in case I’ve had a bad day. And one glass/bottle is not enough.

@OldCatLady I wish I could consume weed. I love everything about it, the smell, the taste, all the paraphernalia. Except how it makes me feel. That sucks.
@Fuzzalini possibly you just need to find the right strain for you. Since I got my medical card I’ve learned a bit about their different effects. I spent some decades thinking that there was bad pot, good pot and killer pot. You got what was available and were glad to have it… Now I know that “sativa” strains motivate me to do stuff; I like Clementine and Jack Herer for that. And “indica” is for nighttime when I’m ready to get stuck in the couch. Banana Hammock is a favorite indica but they’re all good
@llangley No, my best friend is a stoner, and I’ve tried everything over the years. It all makes my skin crawl and lowers my dopamine levels so I get depressed. I did have some stuff once that you sprayed under the tongue that I really liked, especially the indica version. I think it was just because the THC levels were so low. They don’t make it anymore. I do like CBD.
@Fuzzalini@llangley me too, tried a number of strains, smoke vs edible, all makes me uncomfortable/borderline paranoid… bums me out, because I used to enjoy it
Spinning records. I’m not a ludite or a hipster, but it’s satisfying to take out an lp and sit down to listen to it. Even if I can’t fully devote my attention to it, I have to go back to it when the side ends. That could sound like a negative, but I like that it forces me to reengage and make a decision: flip the side, put on something else, turn it off.

If it’s been a stressful day and my wife is working, I usually wind down by watching sports and playing Clash of Clans. If my wife is not working, I spend it with her. Also try to take the time to just enjoying the time with my kids. The 2 youngest will be teenagers soon enough and the genetic programming to hate me will take over for 6-10 years.
chinese food with my partner while catching up on the show du jour (unless there’s a hockey game), then while he games i make a nest and binge crime shows and do crosswords. definitely a drink involved, but likely ice water, tea, or hot chocolate.
I do not like days of stress. Drinking is not an option. You need to be able to relax. Although … everything is OK. You can also add viewing your favorite television shows and series.
Why does pouring a drink have to be mixed up with other things? And what’s with the singular “a” drink?? People do that?!?
@shahnm I don’t really drink, not regularly at least, but I have a bottle or two of wine (& beer) in the house just in case I’ve had a bad day. And one glass/bottle is not enough.
@shahnm
If you’re in a hurry, put a shot of Everclear on top of “a” drink and you’re good to go for a bit.
@shahnm one extremely large bottomless drink.

Aaaahhhhh, I feel better now.
Chillin’ out at home answering surveys.
@therealjrn
Do you enjoy answering surveys?
A ) Yes
B ) No
C ) Bourbon, neat
@shahnm @therealjrn I choose ‘C’!
@shahnm @therealjrn @zinimusprime “I-C-Y”
Lately, by relaxing on this guy’s back! I almost fell asleep on him a few days ago.
@PooltoyWolf
I dare you to ride him to work.
@PocketBrain I wish!! Though his friends sometimes accompany me there.
Video games!
@Zeusandhera
Drinking and Gaming. Starcraft II and a fifth.
@PocketBrain @Zeusandhera FPS FTW!!
Perfect destresser.
Making edibles, and eating them.

@llangley @robson Me too. I used to enjoy it when I was younger. Literally overnight something changed in my system and I couldn’t use it anymore.

Read, check the emails, watch TV, listen to music. Boring-I know.
I pour a cup of herbal tea to relax. Then I watch TV, read, or do jigsaw puzzles
So… I thought maybe about not doing this. I thought I’d just let it go.
But no.
[Licking 9 volt batteries]
Until next time…
@shahnm should’ve stuck with your first thought

What I do I do because I like to do.
@Ignorant @shahnm
Please, put that inside a DO, LOOP and save us a headache.
Bubble bath with a book. And maybe a drink. This works for less stressful days too.
@sammydog01 If you like that, be sure to try bubble bath with water sometime as well!
I’ll watch TV. Not with a drink though unless you count milk as a drink.
Bong load(s)
I like to kill Nazi zombies and picture whomever made the day rough as so e of the zombies.
Having dinner with my spouse. It doesn’t matter whether I cook or we go out, its just relaxing.
@olperfesser aaaahhhhhhh

I usually come home, do half a chore or eat or something, and then too tired to relax, so sleep instead.
If I’m awake enough, there’s a spectrum of read / video games / computer work / lazy chores + TV, all being enjoyable.
Most days, come home, prepare dinner for me and the wife, then settle in to watch some TV before bed, then fail to fall asleep for several hours.
I am not very good at the whole de-stressing thing.
chinese food with my partner while catching up on the show du jour (unless there’s a hockey game), then while he games i make a nest and binge crime shows and do crosswords. definitely a drink involved, but likely ice water, tea, or hot chocolate.
Watch Scotty Kilmer videos
