9. Unless you're a heterosexual girl and you don't use protection.
Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 08:12 PM by DarkTirade
Then you'll be gaining a bit of weight for the next 9 months.

51. Really? Huh. You learn new things every day.
Which brings to mind the old joke about someone discussing anal sex with her doctor, and the doctor says, "But you'll still have to use protection." the persons asks why, and the doctor says, "Where do you think lawyers come from?" :P

Edited on Thu Nov-29-07 08:00 PM by Mike03
1. Yoga (give it six weeks to two months--it changed my life)
2. Running or fast walking, sixty to ninety minutes a day
3. Antidepressants, especially Celexa, Zoloft, and Welbutrin
4. Supplementation with Fish Oil and Vitamin D
5. A sun lamp, if you suffer from seasonal depression
6. Weight lifting, if you enjoy this
7. Pets. My dog and cat fill me with joy on the worst days.

Volunteer at a soup kitchen
Watch a good movie or TV show
Smile
Listen to a cat purring
Walk by the seashore at sunset (actually, any time is good)
Hike in a beautiful park
Play with some kids
Watch the Bill Clinton inauguration (either one is fine)
Watch the news of July 20, 1969 (the moon landing)
Make a Christmas tree garland with kids, of popcorn and cranberries
Smell the roses (or plant them first)
listen to a symphony
have lunch or dinner with close friends, and pick up the tab
meditate
have a really good cup of coffee
paint a canvas (even if it's not a masterpiece, you did it yourself)
get an ice cream cone
cook a meal
do a jigsaw puzzle

Probably a lot more than these....just feel like you're accomplishing something!
