Mmmm yes the preludes and integras were nice. I had a red integra back then great on the corners. My new Civic is pretty boring though

I was going to say that the previous generation Civic was far from boring, but it seems that the unboring one was unique to Europe. Debs' old Honda Jazz (aka Fit) was as boring as a very boring thing that's been to boring school and had additional lessons in being boring, but was a joy to drive, especially if you didn't drive it like a stereo-typical Jazz driver, by contrast her Nissan Micra is unpleasant to drive.
The heater packed up on my first VW and the air-con on the second (both 2nd generation Sirocco's). Other than that they were remarkably reliable.

Well, since you made sure to not put "the normal things" on here, society's pressure to spend.
Though really I am far more stressed about getting into grad school, or the fear I wont, and how I am taking loans as well as needing my parents help and that's all what really has been stressing me

^ I have a daughter (41) and two sons (37 and 36).
At any given time one of them is stressing me out. I can't remember a time when they were not experiencing drama.

The first option: being more productive.
I always feel like I should do more.

My 23 year old daughter has been low maintenance since the day she was born. I have never ceased to be grateful for that.

You are indeed fortunate. I cannot honestly say that our 25 year old daughter has never stressed us out, but those times were of the trivial things that don't really matter a great deal - the goofing-off when she should have been studying times, the petulant tantrum over the latest must-have times, and the typical teenage rebellion times. The time when we should have been stressed, actually being stressed seemed like a very selfish thing to be, like it was a luxury that we couldn't afford. I'll not bore everyone with the personal details. I'll just type "anorexia" and leave it at that. It was indeed a stressful time but being stressed seemed to be the least helpful thing we could be. Anyway, to cut a long story short - we got through it. Now we are immensely proud of her and all she has achieved since those bleak days.

Yeah, my two boys can be quite stressful but I wouldn't change a thing about them. Well, maybe one or two minor things... :p

My family has seen two cases of eating disorders (one of em is in full effect as we speak), so I know from personal experience just how horrible this can be. I'm glad your family got through it unscathed. The highlighted is probably one of the most important things I've picked up during my work with kids (and people in general). If they go up you go down. |

Out of the above list, I'd say that (at least in this particular moment of my life) I find society's pressure on individuals to spend as much money as they can (as possibly more than that) particularly stressful and bothersome. Every day I get dozens of emails from businesses that try to persuade me to part with my hard-earned cash, and I have had enough of being asked for my email every time I shop somewhere - never mind the attempts to get me to open a credit card account, or the inevitable question about my having found everything I need. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy some shopping, but I also have other priorities at the moment, and wasting money on stuff I don't need is not one of them.

Emotions into words. As someone with more than 10 medical problems in my life including high anxiety, ADD, and a speech impediment, it sucks to be asked by your boss 'how do you feel about your job?'.

That must be incredibly difficult. Does your boss not understand the issues involved with posing that question?

I'm so glad to hear that you all made it through such a difficult time. So many girls get stuck in that disease and can't ever find their way fully out (in other words, many mild recoveries and repeated lapses into old behaviors). I have a friend whose daughter falls back into a pit regularly. You must indeed be very proud of her, that's something that is so hard to overcome.
