Pass Me The Quaaludes Please Part 2

Have you had your share of stress this past week?

I have.

I battled through grueling rush hour traffic just to have the airline cancel my flight – no reason given.

I had hurricaine Katrina cancel out my plans to attend a training in Florida.

I got held up for a hearing.

I found out I will be doing double duty on 2 highly demanding wards because the doc who was supposed to cover decided to take off (again).

and…

I am writing you from yet another airport after not sleeping, driving through torrential blinding rain yet somehow being ahead of the clip.

Yep, no matter how much you try to manage stress, sometime it just is going to rear its head – maybe just to test you or help you build character.

Or…

Maybe to give perverse Mr. Murphy a little pleasure.

So, with stress being ever so present, how to you get the best of it?

Here are a couple of tips that should help you deflate, derail and demolish stress:

And You Thought Your Kid Was Bad

Many times I’m asked what to do when your kid just won’t mind?

Well obedience is something that is taught when they are young. If you wait too long to teach them the lessons of respect and responsibility, well, you can have a tiger on your hand.

Children can and should be taught these lessons from very early age. They are sponges and learn at incredible rates. However, what if you’ve got one that just broke the mold?

I came across this message on the difference between love and spanking. I trust it will add a

Just When You Thought It Was Safe

Labor Day is just around the corner.

When on the road, it pays to be defensive.
It also pays to take the offense.

There’s been a rash of fatal motorcycle accidents in this quadrant
including one where the driver took his eyes off the road and ended
up in a squadron of motorcyclist, killing and maiming a few.

Now although he may have wanted to blame it on his taking his

The Case of the Dreaded Microwave and Your Food

They’ve made it into almost every home.

You can find them in many hotels.

The promise – hot food FAST.
But at what price?

I’ve long warned of the dangers of microwave cooking due to the havoc they reek with what little nutritional value is left in your food. It still amazes me that people now use these as their primary method of preparing a meal…and cannot remember when they last used their oven.

It’s Sunday.

7 PM.

You sit down on your easy chair, remote in hand and
start surfing. One of your favorite brain dead
reality shows comes on and you sink in to enjoy the

escape.

But before you really get into the zone, you begin
to feel your heart race.

“Drat! Why aren’t weekends three days long…then I’d
have some time to really relax.”

Just thinking about going back to the job on Monday

Big Large Gargantuan and Toting 2 Liters of Diet Pop

I know you’ve seen it.

I’ve seen it myself.

People on diets. But not just people…FAT people.
And not just fat people…but massively fat people. Clinically they are referred to as morbidly obese.

I’ve seen them starving themselves, eating rabbit food and lugging a 2 liter bottle of diet pop. Heck some of them drink 2 of these 2 liter bottles a day.

Yet the weight snails off…if it comes off at all.
