Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This is a place to record your HR as of this minute and anything else that is of consequence. This could be weight, blood pressure, inside leg, anything you want. Just keep it vaguely sensible :-)

Stress Levels are permissible. The index is:

1 - Calm and unruffled. Cheerful, sunny demeanour.
2 - Keeping cool, but not exactly full of joy
3 - As long as I don't have to talk I'll be fine
4 - Mildly pissed-off
5 - Slightly irritated. Tension and anxiety beginning to increase
6 - Annoyed. I'm keeping a lid on it, but only just
7 - Angry. It won't take much to set me off
8 - Keep the fuck out of my way. Stressed.
9 - Incandescent with rage
10 - One step closer and I will tear your lungs out

Interesting that on your scale, 8 out of the ten are all showing some sort of negativity. Might that not skew the results, if they were ever output in graphical format?

maybe the descriptions of the scale say more about your stress level at present than the number?

I think once you've moved away from 'not at all stressed', there is no option but for there to be a negative slant, is there?

Fancy that eh? Perhaps that's indicative of my less-than-chirpy view of things right now. Any suggestions as to how the index could be improved?

Hang on though, Pudds is correct. There is much more scope for varying degrees of negativity - isn't there?

Given that, as a species, we're far more predisposed to list the ways we're hacked off, stressed out, or whatever about something or someone, I guess it's natural for the scale to be predominantly negative. I was only pointing it out.

We could go for, however: (but since I didn't start this thread, and since Northern Exile sounds like he might remove my breathing apparatus, feel free to completely ignore them)

1. Running up to complete strangers and telling them you love them
2. Bouncing around singing out loud
3. Singing, but inwardly. Still smiling though.
4. Calm, unruffled, cheerful.
5.Cool, ambivalent, "meh".

and then all the "arrrghhh" options.

3 - As long as I don't have to talk I'll be fine
4 - Mildly pissed-off
5 - Irritated. Tension and anxiety beginning to increase
6 - Annoyed. I'm keeping a lid on it, but only just
7 - Stressed - keep out of my way
8 - Angry. It won't take much to set me off
9 - Incandescent with rage
10 - One step closer and I'll tear your fucking lungs out
