Which I will be taking absolutely no notice of !

Kill joy?

I'd prefer to go happy than scared though.

Actually I believe that it is impossible to distinguish physiologically which emotion people are feeling as the physical responses to them all are the same.
How you feel it depends on what you call it, ie what you perceive is going on....terror or ecstasy.

True, true .......

The greatest joy for me was my son being born ...

I knew being a miserable old boot had an upside

^ Lol ..

[woofgang]

its not any kind of health scare or warning....just giving the facts as currently known. In dogs, stress is equally caused by pleasure (eustress) as well as negative feelings and experiences (distress)... and we all know what happens when children have too much fun and excitement....it ends in tears

Nice one eccles

[Old_Geezer]

Happiness has no chance of killing me. It'd have to push aside the anger first !

[agchristie]

Which is why I spend so much time on here...

[Tilly2]

I'm going to be ok. I feel ineffably sad tonight. I'll be fine.

My son is planning his wedding. Should I do something to protect my heart?
