Booche Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 We went to St Jovite this past weekend, and here is what a friend of mine thought, once he had heard we were there: St Jovite?!?!??! I used to go there as a kid. Did you, by any chance, stumble across the Falcon Blue? It is a strip joint that is literally two trailers sandwiched together. I have such fond memories of being 16 years old, sucking back a Laurentide and watching the 200+ pound stripper (with one tooth missing) do her thing ... I was convinced life could not get any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Some cod liver pills (Vitamin A+D) always help me out.... They replace the valuable vitamins we usually receive from the sun. And get outside and exercise. The best natural remedy there is. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 1. Spend your lunch hour playing some outdoor shinny with your co-workers. 2. Then spend the afternoon ripping into aforementioned co-workers about their lackluster skating and stick-handling skills. At least it's working for me today...

Tooly Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 man i posted this alredy but it didnt go up,, this friggin sites wonky as hell lately anyways,, ive been getting thru one of the worst winters of my life this year by thinking about lawn chairs. lawn chairs,, coolers filled with frosty beers, watching shows in the sun at an outdoor festivals, walking around town in shorts after midnight, taking naps outside, and of course,, girls in their summer dresses ooh la la those are a few things that are gettin me thru this damn winter. drugs help too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyK Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Drugs really don't help at all. My recommendation is get off drugs and go for a big long hike on a mountain! (this is exactly what a really cool friend told me last night - wish I could do it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthejourney Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 ST. John's Wort...and if that doesn't work add in some Reishi mushroom (but that is kinda expensive) GO OUTSIDE...put on as many woolys as you can and just go walk and jump and play in the snow and the sun...must have sun. I'm with tooly on the daydreamin part (although, not about girls in summer dresses) I think about summer at least once a day and imagine i am at my favourite places....mmmmmmmmmmmm summer.

ggrtrhhrtgg Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 my advice is this.. smile... I once stood on a dance floor with no one I knew and started to think... Is there something wrong with me being out here by myself dancing?? I don't know these people?? What am I doing here?? then I looked at my beads with big smiley faces on them and smiled, and when I did, I thought I can't think of this negative shit, I am too busy smiling. and I looked around at all of the strange people around me with a smile, and they smiled back.. and thus, I was never alone in the first place!

meggo Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 smiling really does work. sometimes when i feel crappy, i just start smiling at nothing, and i probably look silly so that kinda makes it funny and then i smile more... it is a good little cycle. getting outside is good too - i find that sitting in my place gets me down if i'm here by myself too long, damn cold weather!! and -one of my favourites - watching most extreme challenge on spike tv!!! tonight after doing my schoolwork i vegged on my beanbag chair and watched that for about 40 minutes, just howling in the middle of my living room by myself. it was good times. make goals too. having something to look forward to helps. call a buddy who makes you laugh. watch caddyshack. go tanning (i know it's bad but it feels so nice!) do a kickboxing class. listen to bob marley. good luck with that buddy!! everything will be O-K.

Blane Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I spent two days this weekend in the outdoors for the first time in a long time. Totally revitalizing. I was skiing in the French Alps, which was just mindblowing, but I'm sure that a hike into the woods would be just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Jared: Try accomplishing something. (That isn't meant to be as sarcastic as it sounds...read on...) Set a small goal, something that can be done in an hour or two: clean up a room, write a letter to a relative you haven't talked to in a while, shovel the driveway of a elderly neighbour, make somebody a present, whatever. It should be something that's not enjoyable in and of itself, but, when complete, makes the world at least a slightly better place. Then, once you've accomplished the task, reward yourself. If it were summer, I'd say go get an ice cream cone. If you like coffee, indulge in a really heavy-duty thing, with whipped cream and everything else. Whatever, just do something that you'll enjoy and which is entirely for your pleasure. Also, stay in (physical, ideally) contact with people, even if it's just you and one other friend having a coffee or sitting around and talking. Shared pain is lessened; shared joy increased.
