Can you think of any stress relievers? No, wait. Basket weaving sounds stressful. I think I'll blow spit bubbles instead.

16. Well, not to quibble, but spit bubble blowing lessons...
should not be too highly priced. I don't want to hurt your feelings. I know there is an art to it.

That sounds like a good way to relieve stress, and you get to stab people.

8.  I had a prefrontal lobotomy after the last election,
and now my hobby is to watch grass grow. It's all I'm capable of doing. Oh, well that and posting in the Lounge.

11. Ceramics class, perhaps?
Forget the scene in Ghost with the potter's wheel...I'm talking off-wheel, throwing clay, kneading clay, shaping clay, all great outlets for excess energy, aggravation, stress, frustration, etc. Of course, these classes cost money, get messy, and you wind up giving all your friends and family your amateur efforts as Xmas gifts.

For free, you can knead bread dough, shape loaves, bake them, and feed them to your friends and family anytime...just as restorative in many respects, and better appreciated. Forget about bread machines, they take all the fun and artistry out of the process.

Your choice.
