I had a computer (a PC of course) that was giving me all kinds of trouble. I finally got a new one. I then took the old one out to the back and smashed it against the brick wall at least 15 times. I stomped on it. I dropped big boulders on it. All the while I would say stuff like ""this one is for the time you lost that document that I worked an hour on! SMASH!<br />This one is for that week I couldn't get online. CRASH!<br /><br />I have to say I felt better after that. Man, that felt good!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />RobertRobert Trochhttp://www.fusionfitnesstv.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-76312779256277425972009-05-18T14:28:00.000-04:002009-05-18T14:28:00.000-04:00Crabby,<br /><br />I'm not saying sitting is good, but I am saying that correlation doesn't prove causation.<br /><br />It's entirely possible that the sitting people in the Canadian study hated their jobs, and it was their misery that caused their demise, not their sitting (though it probably didn't help).<br /><br />That would also explain Hilary's mom.<br /><br />So if you enjoy sitting and blogging (except for when you're wanting to chuck the old computer out the window, a sentiment to which I relate), you're probably OK, as long as you balance it with plenty of physical activity, fresh air, etc.Ruthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12503183987906575422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-69467420023846424192009-05-18T14:22:00.000-04:002009-05-18T14:22:00.000-04:00We'll talk about computers when I get the new one back from the shop and see the bill.

Unfortunately that can't happen in most modern office buildings.<br /><br />I have frequent fantasies of tossing my computer somewhere. I also have fantasies of jumping right after it since it's usually my own ignorance causing the problem.<br /><br />I know too many elderly men and women who had desk jobs and sitting all day didn't kill them (... yet). In fact, most of them didn't even get the type of exercise that we think of as normal. So I'll just ignore this study and wait for the next one that tells me that dessert causes you to live longer.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11923122416239774243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-33702093928319735822009-05-18T12:50:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:50:00.000-04:00Have slanket, will travel.PODhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-64358814396637127162009-05-18T12:43:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:43:00.000-04:00At least 3 times a week I feel like smashing my computer with a hammer or throwing it off the roof of our building.
