sirwoofalot Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Wasn't that the code name they used in, "Up In Smoke"? No, I am sorry it was hard hat, and Chic and Chong were making fun of the cops calling the code name Lard Ass. That was it. Edited July 30, 2007 by sirwoofalot Quote
catbirdseat Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Looks as though Washington State is racing to catch up to the rest of the nation in obesity rates. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 The number one way to improve our health care system: better diet and more exercise The stats reflected on that map are pathetic, and this has happened in just 20 years! Sad. Quote

Sad. Absolutely no doubt about that. People should be held responsible for what they do to themselves. It is like beating the crap out of your car and expecting the warranty to cover it. Quote
high_on_rock Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 People who live an unhealthy life should not be allowed to live as long as those who take care of themselves! Quote

i_like_sun Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 legalize meth. problem solved. How about MDMA? I've never done it, but apparently it changes your life so profoundly that you will always take care of yourself and there will be no more wars. Apparently....... Quote

We all did a bunch of that in the early '70's. Mushrooms still work well, though. Quote

Sad. In the same time period, we are working more hours than we used to (even though automation of everything was supposed to free up our time) and more and more of our jobs are sedentary. I know as I get older and my career progresses, I am spending more and more time in a seat. And my job is more stressful, so I am at work more. Traffic is worse, so I can spend up to two and a half hours on the road a day (although it isn't usually that bad-more like an hour and a half). I have less energy to work out and less time to cook healthy. I can understand what is happening to people--especially people who don't have healthy habits before their lives get to the point of craziness where they have no personal time/energy. And the work/life balance thing that companies sell us is bullshit. They don't care about anyone's life until they are so sick they can't come into the office. Quote

In 12 years in IT I have worked one weekend (half a Saturday), and never more than 50 hours in a week. You gotta stand your ground. Quote

KaskadskyjKozak Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 no time to play.bills to pay.chasing the american illusion. sucks when you put it that way....... the scenario arch describes is quite true for many salaried folks - esp. in high-tech, but I doubt it applies to a majority of Americans who do work regular 9-5 jobs, and are suffering from the same problems of obesity - if not in higher proportions.

joblo7 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 it all comes down to the quality of your life. most ignore the inner stuff yet are surprised by sadness. Quote

I bet you're good for 35... maybe 40 of actual work Actually, most people who whine about 60, 80, and 100 hour weeks in IT aren't really working all that time. It's all about efficiency and meeting expectations. If I can do more than the next guy in half the time - that's to my benefit. And it's not hard with so many idiots in the industry. Quote
The_Rooster Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Here on the organic farm, too much work is never enough. I even volunteer for overtime. 8D 8D 8D COCK A DOODLE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
