Hi Neesy, I am two with nature!
I've went to Folklorama in the past so I am staying away until newer cultures and ethnicities show up before I go again. I do watch Delmar and Marta on APTN though. That show is a hoot!
How do you kill exhaustion???

You should try to make it in 2019 - that will be the 50th anniversary of the festival.
We only went to the Croatian pavilion and then the Ukrainian one. My son went to the Brazilian one with his friends
[sorry for thread hi-jack]
Another way to kill exhaustion, either mental or physical, is to go somewhere on vacation. Getting away and having a break or rest often helps.
Definitely "me time." Treat yourself to a good, satisfying meal. Walk around the block if you live in an area with trees and nature. Go to bed early.
I recently was emotionally and mentally overwhelmed, and called a friend who lives 8 hours away. God bless her, she said "meet me in the middle." We spent a long weekend in an inexpensive hotel with a tiny pool and free breakfast, and it was honestly just as good as going to the Caribbean for a week.
And ditto, Grandpa - if something is on your mind and eating away at you, make the uncomfortable call or email and get it off your chest. Thank you for saying that - it's something that I'm realizing I have to do.

Taking care of business is the best way to work out mental fatigue. Once it's done, it's done.

Have you ever tried "vaping"?
It's gaining in popularity up here
I was going to ask Andy if he wants to try it but he's not one to embrace change
Cool responses!! 
Me, I'm a stress sleeper. If I sleep it off for a few hours, I'm usually good to go and can attack whatever is causing the problems. If I don't have a nap first, I'm usually feeling pretty wasted or hopeless. It's really weird.
I hope this thread helps someone out there who might be experiencing this stuff!

Hydration. Keep hydrated. So many of us don't drink as much water as we should.

That's a good one - it doesn't have to be just water either - I like a nice cup of hot tea with honey in it
....yes I have and I may go to it one of these days....just go up in a big poof of sweet smelling vapor....Have you ever tried "vaping"?

Buy ya some Benzedrine inhalers, crack em open, soak the mentholated strips in coffee. Good kick, daddy-o. Use goofballs to come down.
Yeah, I'm from 1952.

Hopefully they'll come up with a chocolate chip cookie flavor (I know a guy at work who likes the cherry and mint scents)
