Your Eyes Will Melt Out Of Your Head

SunPin writes "Slashdotters are doomed. An article from Reuters describes serious health problems from using CRTs (they call them "VDT") for too long. Studies show that we need more studies." So go ahead and expense a three-head LCD setup for your desk.

    I've seen a doctor once. The recommendation was excercise. Easier said than done.

    As for getting laid, I am not yet married :) (though I know that is not a problem for many).

    Sitting all day is really bad.
    My belly is the proof.

    Hell, I gained 150 lbs sitting in front of computers for the past 15 years...

    Bear in mind, however, I was about 70lbs when I was 7 (I think that's about right anyways), so being 220 now @ 22 isn't too bad...

    I'm 39 years old. I was 205lbs when I got married in 1985, I am now 265lbs and I go for walks. I'm
    a Systems Architect (System Admin that designs
    solutions, programs, and admin). Anyway yes you are
    stuck in an office sitting down. My problem is it
    did lead to prostatitis once. So if all of you should insist on a comfy chair!

    well i'm just a bit younger. I was 240 when I got married 8 years ago, now i'm 300. Of course I've been big since playing football in high school, I was 265 then.
    Being 6'2" helps with the distribution a little.
    My biggest problem though is inactivity. Work a regular 40hr week at a desk, another 5-15hrs/week consulting on the side and raising four kids. Not a lot of time for personal improvement. I'm sure many here can relate to that kind of schedule.
    But I walk them to school in the mornings and play with them when I have time. So thats a little.

    Song: Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe

    [spoken intro]
    I've heard people say that
    Too much of anything is not good for you, baby
    But I don't know about that
    There's many times that we've loved
    We've shared love and made love
    It doesn't seem to me like it's enough
    There's just not enough of it
    There's just not enough
