Well, that was certainly an informative post. Does your IQ reach the double digits yet? Can you count in the double digits?

Hello,
I didnt get first post, but i wanted to use this space anyway to promote the Ford Taurus. Known worldwide as the "best car ever made", the taurus puts together great looks with great power. Coupled with a 200 hp Duratec engine producing 200 pound feet of torque, this Peppy AWESOME car can run down anybody! My family has two taurii, why dont you?

i spend practically 7hr a day behing this little lovely pc, doing image analysis and writing. now it is true that i have considerable problems in going to work, but on the other hand the fact that i can read/. every half hour makes me more comfortable with my lot. as for shoulders and neck and wrists, you just have to be careful w/ your working position and stand up every half hour or so and walk/photocopy a little.. as for the eyes.. they told me too much coffee seemed to influence sight/light problems. now i have QUIT drinking coffee for a month but my eyes are still sore. maybe when i get home i should not glue myself to my home boxen.. hmm. well. just wanted to say that i think that screen work is not necessarily evil if you can relax now and then and make it interesting. (thus mod +1 interesting) my 2 eurocents
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.

stop editorializing, asshat. especially when what you say HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE. jesus farking christ.
Speaking about licking your ass till it bleeds, the Fox locals are carrying a story about these eyecorrectors that you wear while asleep. . These contacts remold your eyes while you're asleep, the first few days the effects last only a few hours but each succeeding night create longer & longer effects until it lasts the full day. . Original fittings presently cost $15000 contact copies go for $300. . Me, I got this set of goggles that wraps around my face like the robot in "Day the Earth Stood Still" made of AP grade Al sheet. There are two 1/8 inch holes over the eyes each covered with pricked mylar membranes to make pinhole "lenses". The eyes can focus on infinity & still see. Sometimes turning up the brightness on the monitor makes viewing more comfortable. . If your vision improves wearing these goggles all day, someone is messing with your eyes.

"It tastes like burning..."
I've seen a doctor once. The recommendation was excercise. Easier said than done.
:) (though I know that is not a problem for many).
As for getting laid, I am not yet married
Sitting all day is really bad.
My belly is the proof.
I'd rather be sailing...
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...
Or eat less.
I understand that it's easy to get fat without trying too hard, but 100 lbs is way out of bounds healthwise!
