When you're down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

tapu · 10-27-2011, 11:26 AM

I've served my dog his food in a Tupperware bowl, and put the clear, plastic lid on it. Only once though.

ButchEire · 10-27-2011, 11:28 AM

Spend a day with my best friend's kids. Puts EVERYTHING in perspective.

sara-bera · 10-27-2011, 11:33 AM

stand by the ocean

take a walk in the sunshine

listen to happy, bouncy love songs

talk with my best friend

have some tea

watch a silly movie

stretch or do a little yoga (poorly, but I do try)

tapu · 10-27-2011, 11:40 AM

One time, to distract myself from thinking about my downer, I made a spider out of 100 of those black binder clips with the wire pinchee on each side, you know? Like in offices?

I started with 4 large clips hooked together to make the central mass (body), and then I splayed out eight legs by clipping more clips, first same size and then progressively smaller, to each clip before it.

I didn't put just one clip on the clip before; instead, I clipped one on each of the two pinchees on the previous binder clip. (This is key.) It made, like, long, hairy-looking spider legs. I can make one again and take a picture of it in case you want to make your own.

tapu · 10-27-2011, 11:52 AM

Hey, is there anybody who can send me a whole bunch of those binder clips in different sizes?

Thanks,
tapu

But once again I have to say; blondes, bikes, beer.
Yea, I am that base. ;-)

tapu · 10-27-2011, 02:32 PM

Oh my. Because of my earlier request for binder clips, some here have been concerned that I might be down right now. No, I just wanted to make another spider and I don't know what happened to my binder clips.

Thank you, you-know-who-you-are!

i tied this today

my dog looked at the bowl - then looked at me with what i suspect to be a c'mon grow up expression
then my pup walked away

weatherboi · 10-30-2011, 06:52 PM

I drink lots of local beers and shoot off fireworks!

funkyfemme · 10-30-2011, 07:24 PM

hot bath and hot chocolate! thanks BBB for making me take the plunge!

weatherboi · 10-31-2011, 07:12 PM

i put on zombie make up and go trick or treating

ruby_woo · 10-31-2011, 10:46 PM

I make myself laugh. Hyperbole and a Half, especially the story about the Sneaky Hate Spiral, always cracks me up. I also like The Oatmeal.

Or I'll go over to the part of my office that allows dogs, and scratch some soft furry ears.

Or, you know...beer.

I get out my calligraphy pens and ink, and write letters for awhile.
