True! We have a potential Ansel Adams of the English countryside, and haven't seen any new pictures for a while...Borek said:Haven't you started a new career as a landscape photographer last year?
turbo-1 said:Have you considered adopting a shelter dog? I've been feeling pretty crappy all summer with weather-related illnesses (mold, mildew, humidity) and Duke has really cheered me up. He is always excited to see me, even if I have been gone for a ridiculously short time. When it's time for a walk, for his breakfast, etc, he's always happy and appreciative. Plus, I get outdoors more often so he can have exercise and relieve himself.
That's too bad, Woolie. Dogs are pretty good emotional "anchors" and they will give you extra attention when you're feeling a bit off.wolram said:Turbo, i would love another dog but the local farmer has a total ban on dogs on his land.
Duke looks happy.

When my reactions to fragrances got severe, I was pretty much locked out of public places (even outdoors) and in bad weather, I was house-bound. I got a lot of relief by feeding birds, chipmunks, etc, and taking photographs. I sold off a fairly large collection of antique Winchester lever-action rifles and carbines, and used the proceeds to buy camera gear. That, too proved to be a good move, since the cameras get a lot of use, and they get me out of the house looking for birds, animals, plants, etc to capture.DaveC426913 said:When I went off my meds, I suffered a backlash of depression.
I found that going for a walk in the park helped. I would see everything anew and remind myself that life was actually pretty good. I appreciated the blue sky above, the leaves underfoot, the sounds of chirping birdies.

Some it the stuff is truly precious isn't it? The earlier stuff from a year or two ago when it was still fresh, is priceless.
Blasting your CDs/records must cause you to go through them pretty quick. Surely clay pigeons would be cheaper...Argentum Vulpes said:If I have the time go to the .22 range near my house and shoot enough rounds of A-1000/4 targets till I'm in a better mood. Or go out to my wood shop and work on any projects I have going.
If I'm short on time blasting anything from my classical collection dose the trick.
