snobbyafghan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 If I ever wake up without any real feelings of anxiety, I know there's one sure fire way to give those anxiety levels the necessary boost. I immediately log on to this forum and feel the waves of diverse anxiety washing comfortably over me. In one quick session, I can load with real juicy things to worry about: Traffic regulations abroad, the number of reflective strips required on my hi-vis jacket, is my first-aid kit compliant, is my triangle the correct type, what kind of weapon should I take to battle the robbers with, will my van shake itself to pieces when I reverse it, does the toilet smell too much when I empty it in front of other people, will my satellite system work in Bulgaria, is that my awning even now flying away on the wings of a puckish breeze. Already, I feel much better. Anxiety levels are high, stress is pinging satisfactorily through my system. Lots to worry about. Thanks MMM forum - you've done it again...

Guest Tracker Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Good morning Doug, and I am so sorry that you find the forum so stress inducing. I hesitate to say this - but a quick and simple cure may well be to hand? Why not post your own alarmist tales and transfer your fears and worries to every body else? After all a problem shared is a problem doubled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Oh God Tracker, don't tell him that... I too have already increased my valium intake since joining; I couldn't take any more 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Please be careful - mounting a TV sounds very dangerous and could even be illegal in public! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usinmyknaus Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Catinou. Ouch. My combined bill was £449 for not very much work as far as I could see, hence my post. Just as well I use the van a lot! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
