As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach and families get together, everyone could use a stress reliever. How do you guys relieve stress during times of crisis or I guess just in general?

Surprisingly, I get along pretty well with all of my inlaws and outlaws.

I met my wife when I was a full time skydiver, she was the roommate of one of my students, they came over to my place one night to hang out and a few months later we were engaged. That was 13 years ago. Well I met my in-laws on the day that my now wife did her first skydive, the in-laws wanted to not only come out and watch but also take their first jumps as well. A busy Saturday, I spent most of the day turning back to back loads in the 182. A couple of loads after taking my wife on her first jump I landed, shrugged out of the tandem rig, jogged up the hill and picked up a fresh rig from one of the packers. My future mother-in-law was standing on the ramp with a loose tandem harness on over her shoulders. I quickly adjusted her harness and as the plane taxied up yelled over the prop noise "hi I'm Dave, I'm dating your daughter, lets climb in and we can talk about the skydive!"

She didn't think too highly of me, she hated the skydive too. My father-in-law was my student on the next load and he loved the skydive and we hit it off fairly well after that. We were engaged about 6-weeks after those skydives and the rest is history. It took some time but they've come to accept me...sort of. :D

I get up early, brew an exceptionally strong pot of coffee, and log on here to live vicariously (when I can't actually escape due to kids/wives/jobs/laws of the in) through all of your posts, jibes, photos, and fantastic woes of adventure.

:coffee

... Translation... Shoot guns, campfire, drink, bitch and moan like the old man that lives inside me and tell fanciful stories about the glory days...

AND we do it all over the day for Thanksgiving if you are looking for our kind of environment... come on down...
 
Christ what a bunch of whiny bitches...what is this ExPo?

Suck it up ladies...work hard, love hard, embrace the exuberance of the youngin's running about and don't take yourself or others too seriously. Kill stress with a trifold Kung Fu power attack of hopefulness, determination and decisive action.

Escapism is the path of the weak.

Family + Friends + Fire + Food . . . . Get as many of those as you can in one place. It's been working since the stone age.
