Stress knows few boundaries


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Stress -- that tense feeling often connected to having too much to do, too many bills to pay and not enough time or money -- is a common emotion that knows few borders.

About three-fourths of people in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea and the United Kingdom say they experience stress on a daily basis, according to AP-Ipsos polling. Those anxious feelings are even more intense during the holidays.

Spaniards, 61 percent, were not as wound up as those in most other countries polled. And they could all take a lesson from Mexico, where more than half of Mexicans said they rarely or never experience stress in their daily lives.

We sometimes have stress, pronounced Estres, and if it's too much we call it Escuatro or Escinco :lol:

I have met many stressed-out Baja citizens. One in particular named Nicolas from the old El Nido restaurant in Mulege...now there was one fellow who was a candidate for a nervous breakdown! I once gave him a 'Don't Worry, Be Happy!' T-shirt...but I doubt it helped. Last I heard he was at a Hutterite colony in Saskatchewan making willow furniture.

Stress+Baja= calmness and life


Lost my stress when I started spending over half of my life in Baja way back in the '80's. My good friends taught me how and held my hand as I learned. Blood pressure 202/168 add long stints in Baja and find it is 130/68. Need I say more......except thank you to my Mexican friends for my life.
