If it's stress related you should try stretching your neck and shoulders. Usually works for me. Back straight and pull your head towards the floor. you should feel it stretch down your spine.

That is indeed a winner.

Here's a little something I always find intriguing. People will interact with you and pretty much get a sense of the kind of person you are, the kind of opinions you have on certain topics, etc. Eventually your age comes or they get curious about it, you tell them, and right then and there, you're a different person. 7 out of 10 times I'll get responses like, "wow, you're so young, stop having opinions of older people", "I didn't realize you were this young, why aren't you acting your age?", "Oh, wow, still in the immature years of your life then?"

Like seriously, is age that defining of a character trait that people immediately assume that if you act a certain way that deviates from what your age-group has you pegged as, you're trying to be different or older (essentially not being yourself) and need to act younger than you do (whatever the crap that means)??? Interesting how people color their perceptions of others around them.

Well what kind of age are these people assuming you are and how old are you?

Those who guess, normally guess 3 years older on average. But the thing is, people don't usually think about it during interactions. But when it comes up randomly in a conversation. It's like "holy crap, you're much younger than I thought, you had me fooled."

Judging by his post history, I'm going to say he is about 13. :D

I guess I can't do it now since you've taken the surprise factor out of it :p

Hah. Wait until you walk into a board-meeting, aged less than 30. Board members just refuse to take you seriously. Most vexatious.

And yes, Eugene is a total colonialist bastard, not letting you pull the race card... :p
 
anybody here know about Electric Fences ? mine is making a loud clicking noise. i investigated and ound that some of the fence wires that touch neighbours yard are clicking and sparking about once every 2 seconds. this has only started recently, say about 2 weeks back. prior to that, it was fine.

here is the odd thing. i touched the WALL (which the wiring was sparking against) and i could FEEL the electric charge. how the heck is it that a brick wall can conduct electricity ? is it not earthed properly ? why did it only start happening now ?
