Great quotes Balto! I'm gonna' print 'em out. When I would get seriously depressed, my brother would tell me to buy a building and fix it up. That works for him but, that's what got me depressed. I look forward to hitting the road. Long drives on old roads do it for me.

| Wow! same here. whenever I got tense I just drive along some long roads along the countryside while listening to my favorite songs or to some comforting self-help tapes on mind & body. The farms, the wind, the slow pace of country life just calm me down. |
