Siouxie - great minds! does it increase in volume as I, er, um, increase in my "involvement"
Posted by: kitten | August 31, 2006 at 02:07 PM
But if I don't exercise at all, I can have full complete control of my television using the remote that came with it.
Assuming, of course, that it's within arm's reach of my couch.

He'll be okay as long as you keep it tuned to "Petticoat Junction."
Posted by: stevie w | August 31, 2006 at 03:13 PM

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 03:21 PM
that works, too, blurk! All's well that ends nekkid
Posted by: kitten | August 31, 2006 at 03:21 PM
Siouxie, my job sorta requires that I stay in shape. And what I mean by that is that I'm REQUIRED to haul my @ss to the gym 4 times a week. We don't have a choice.
Posted by: blurk | August 31, 2006 at 03:26 PM
I figured as much, blurk. I'm used to going to the gym 3-4 times a week too. Just been preoccupied with getting my kid off to college...etc. I'm ready to go back :)
Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 03:32 PM
psst...blurk, put your clothes back on
Posted by: kitteen | August 31, 2006 at 03:42 PM
I haven't been to the gym since my last high school sock hop, 150 yrs ago...
Oh! Did I say that out loud?
Posted by: nannie | August 31, 2006 at 03:47 PM
I don't wanna. And you can't make me.
Posted by: blurk | August 31, 2006 at 03:48 PM
I think you did, nannie.
Posted by: blurk | August 31, 2006 at 03:50 PM

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 03:50 PM
I guess these simuls will have to do for exercise...
Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 03:51 PM
Siouxie, I haven't received any email. Did you send it to my home account?
Posted by: blurk | August 31, 2006 at 03:59 PM
Well they say you can never be too rich or too thin. So...all-in-all...this would work.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | August 31, 2006 at 04:01 PM

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2006 at 04:09 PM
