In some versions of the story that is the code all the knights of the round table live by.

Ahh ,all is made clear. I first saw it on one of those little inspirational bible verse type cards at primary school, and its stuck with me ever since

[FROSTY:Me]

to answer the initial question. Without a bike to help me clear my head -welll simply I cant.
I've been known to jump off perfectly good bikes and airplanes and drive go carts at silly speeds.

You can no more change one second in the past as you can a thousands years.

Deal with it and move on.

IGG-norr-ants and blissis my friend ...

Body and mind numbing exercise (always found martial arts good for this), great friends who understand, the occasional couple down the pub and accepting that what's done is done (and moving on). That's my recipe.

I usually go for this recipe too.
Bit difficult to take 2 young kids to the pub

Ahh, you need the UK for that - handy pub gardens with various things to amuse the kiddies... Worked a treat for my parents, practically grew up in pubs and when people used to ask for directions, they were generally given via pub names rather than road names

[Biff]

Ahhhhh - the great British pub. Warm beer, lousy service and bland food all wrapped up in a relaxing mock Tudor exterior. I remember the days. Well.....some of them. Others are quite hazy.

Ahhh, you'd be getting confused - they only seem to do mock tudor over here - we have the real thing Obviously you haven't been to a bar in central auckland - stuck up service, limited beer selection and overpriced food. Gotta love it!

So here I am wondering about life

... No I haven't been smoking anything

... If you don't have a bike to take away your worries, what do you do?

I ask cos I'm interested.

My usual take is to talk about my problem to death, so I can then bury it and move on. But sometimes that really doesn't seem to be the best option.
Makes things worse.

I know there is no set formula for these sorts of things, but I'd be interested to see what you guys come up with to fix / change / sort out your problems.

Remember, we're pretending you don't have access to a bike ....

Even with a bike I talk, talk, talk and talk some more...sometimes I write it down, sometimes I eat , sometimes I go for a walk, sometimes I drink , sometimes I throw a tantrum .

I find though that talking and writing it down are the most constructive. I've also had counselling via the FREE student counsellor at Massy Uni.

I'm probably among the worst bottler-uppers of emotion and stress. Bottling-up may work when you're young and stupid. But as I get older I find it just eats away at me and the techniques that once worked to blow shit away are not as effective as they once were. At least now I know the symptoms of stress. But I'm still looking for the silver bullet cure. Maybe I inherited the worrying gene from my mum.

One thing I do know. The only person who can provide enlightenment and cure me is me.

[StoneChucker]

What do you do if riding only temporarily delays your thoughts. What if you have noone to talk to? And, even if you did, what if you couldn't really talk anyway? Excercise is absolutely great, but what happens if you can't be bothered because you are eating crap, caused by your worries? How about if you don't really drink, or take mind numbing substances? There is no escape sometimes.

You certainly can't change the past, and the future scares/depresses me. I'm a definite bottler, I've been bottling for a good 15 years now. The smallest things piss me off. When I find myself really upset by something, I have no choice but to supress it. It's not so bad though, I just don't know where it all goes, and what happens when there is no more space left.

I think I'll stop typing now, I just read what I wrote
