have you ever had anxiety?
i don't mean general anxiety you get before an exam or an interview, i mean anxiety out of the blue that seems to hit you when you can be in a warm pleasant atmosphere.......a feeling like you just have to get up and go.
sometimes its terrifying, hyperventillating, can't get your breath, feel like everything is closing in around you.
Anxiety is just fear spread more thinly. I get the odd spasm of it occasionally and find that some exercise helps to disperse the adrenaline whenever it occurs.
Believe it or not, sitting on the loo while it passes is also one of the best solutions.

i want to find a copy and the name of the green song book.
not the pink one, nor the brown one.
it is will over 30 years old.
It was called: "Songs to Jehovah's praise"
It was a flecked green colour with a 2 lines of music bars and notes flowing in a wavy pattern across it.

how do other guys feel about going into women's clothes shops?.
i spent ages with her ladyship in the per una section of marks & spencers today.
i was quite happy to bumble about behind her and even managed to achieve some nonchalance while i was waiting for her to try stuff on in the changing rooms.
When I'm feeling really generous, I just point HL towards the clothes section in Asda. Or sometimes, even Tescos.
Either way, I just give her a rub down with an oily rag once a week and she comes up like new.

i am bi-racial and was wondering would you date or marry outside of your race?
how would you feel if your children dated or married outside of their race?.

I used to dream about marrying a Hawaiian girl with a flower in her hair.
Too much James Michener in my youth, I guess.

often i heard that with a brand new car, you can't drive at a constant speed for a long period of time, because it isn't good for a brand new motor.
they recommend driving at varaiable speeds and variable rpm for the first 1000 miles atleast.. just wondering if anyone here knows about this, and how many miles does it take for a new motor to be able to drive very long distances at constant highway speed without any problem.
Modern technology means that the moving surfaces on the bearings and piston walls are far smoother than they used to be. Consequently, less "bedding in" time is required for them to reach a completely smooth finish.
Changing the oil after the first 1000 miles flushes away all the minute flakes of metal that have been removed from the bearing surfaces. If left in the oil, they would start to become abrasive and cause increased wear.

as kid i remember a break of 15 minutes between the public talk and the wt study.
all the new ones and "weak" ones ran out to smoke.
loved to see the attendant round them up to come back in when the droning began again.
Heh. I do remember after the public talk (where were the public, BTW?) the exhortations to stay to the WT. Course, all the weak one's scarpered after the PT, having shown their faces but being unable to stand another awful hour in the KH.

nutritionists tell us that vegetables contain a wide variety of substances that are beneficial to our health, and these are not vitamins and minerals, they are called phytochemicals.
given the fact that in the western world people consume a great deal of industrially processed food eating a lot of fresh veg (and fruit) can only be beneficial.
do you consume a lot of these?
I like to roast veggies. Cauliflower, brocolli, carrots etc can be coated in olive oil that has been mixed with garlic, salt and pepper. Just roast on medium/high for 30 minutes for crunchy and tasty veg.
yum!

When I was a kid, all cars had to be "run-in" for at least 500 miles and no going over 30 mph either.
Then, once a car had done about 50,000 miles, you could part-exchange the engine for a reconditioned unit. This was always painted gold and cost the princely sum of £35.

well, tomorrow's my birthday, and when my daughter asked me what i wanted, i said, how about having a seafood fest?.
so, we went to the fish market today, and bought lobsters, clams for steaming, and pre-cooked shrimp !!!
i even went to the food market and bought frozen scallops wrapped in bacon !!
English seafood is pretty good. It comes from colder waters and this apparently, enhances the taste.

I spent ages with Her Ladyship in the Per Una section of Marks & Spencers today. I was quite happy to bumble about behind her and even managed to achieve some nonchalance while I was waiting for her to try stuff on in the changing rooms. Trouble is, I often espy clothes that I think she could look good in while she's in the changing rooms, so then I start poking about on the racks, which does sometimes get me some rather strange looks. I've managed to avoid the knicker and bra section so far.
So I just wondered how other fellas coped with this. I also wondered how other gals coped with trailing a man behind them while out shopping.
