I'm skeptical that working in 30 minutes of exercise really goes very far to offset 12 hours sitting tethered to a computer...;

I don't have the energy to be "on my feet" all day, chasing after toddlers, but I'm sure looking into jobs that don't have to seated all day long...it's so bad for you - high stress + sedentary...not good.

What Sitting At Desk All Day Does To UsAug 15, 2015
I bet I'm not the only MT who has near-debilitating pain in the "sitz bones," aka ischial tuberosity pain.  It's directly related to the fact that I sit all day long at my keyboard.  I've tried buying ergonomic chairs and expensive seat cushions, adjusting my desk, sitting up as straight as I can, all to no avail.  I've even had 2 rounds of corticosteroid injections in both ischial tuberosities, right and left.  Ahhhh.....the effects of the steroid injecti ...

So...I Was Sitting On My Couch Thinking...Oct 23, 2012
and I remembered the debate in which President Obama pointed out that Mitt Romney didn't have an actual plan outlined and that if anyone had gone to him with an idea without the plan outlined, that person would have been crazy to invest in it...kinda thing.  I find that funny actually.  Didn't we do that with Obamacare?  Pelosi said we had to pass it to find out what was in it.  As far as having a plan, what happened to Obama's plan when he ran in 2008.  ...

Instead Of A Big Brown Box Sitting In The KitchenJan 21, 2015
I buy sweet potatoes by the box load, about 25 pounds at a time, also buy onions and oranges the same way at the farmer's market. Would anyone have any ideas about how to store the items instead of their being in the boxes like they are now, out in the kitchen? I have no storage space in my cabinets and where they are located now is like a cubby hole under a desk, not a movable one but one made into the countertop. Thanks for any ideas. ...

'Job-killing' Obamacare Actually CreatedApr 19, 2017
"The anti-Obamacare crowd has been trying to torture job statistics almost from the inception to try to justify their job-killer meme. As part of their campaign, they’ve claimed that the law has pushed more Americans into part-time work, since the mandate requiring employers to provide employees with coverage won’t apply to part-timers.  Right-wing billionaire Charles Koch floated this claim via USA Today in 2014 and Andy Puzder, the CEO of the Carl’s Jr. and Hardee&r ...

Loose Body In Shoulder JointJan 10, 2012
I woke up 2 days ago with the worst shoulder pain ever and went to the doc where he did an x-ray. It showed  I have a loose body in the joint space. He gave me Tramadol and told me to use ice and heat and maybe it would calm down on its own. Otherwise, he said he would refer me to an orthopedist for shoulder arthroscopy and loose body removal. He is very conservative (he knows this), but I would like to know if anyone has had this and if the loose body does ever work its way back to whereve ...

Heard Of Restless Leg Syndrome, But More BodyJul 22, 2014
Over the past few years my grandfriends visit me during the summer as they are doing this year. This 12 year old's shaking has started since last year.

NY Man Kills UPS Driver And Runs Over His Body,Dec 21, 2016
His bizarre reasoning for shooting an unrelated UPS driver and his odd smiling booking photo might mean he was driven more by mental illness than a political ideology. Please don't turn this into a gun control rant. We have 25,000 guns laws that include mental illness. His actions show premeditation. Can you imagine how much more media would have been given in a case like this if Obama or another Democrat had been named as the target? ...

These 73 Sitting Democrats Voted To Ban Visas From Muslim CountriesFeb 02, 2017
Trump’s executive order is so modest that the foundation of it is essentially existing law. That law was passed unanimously by both bodies of Congress in 2002. In fact, it garnered the support of 16 Democrat senators and 57 Democrat House members who are still serving in their respective bodies! Following 9/11, Congress passed the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, which addressed many of the insecurities in our visa tracking system. The bill passed the House and Senate un ...
