A list of activities that do not require physical exercise. These are generally (though not exclusively) practiced by those who spend a good deal of time on line as opposed to that exhausting schedule of rushing around in Real Life!
01) Beating around the bush
02) Jumping to conclusions
03) Climbing the walls
04) Swallowing my pride
05) Passing the buck
06) Throwing my weight around
07) Dragging my heels
08) Pushing my luck
09) Making Mountains out of molehills
10) Hitting the nail on the head
11) Wading through paperwork
12) Bending over backwards
13) Jumping on the bandwagon
14) Balancing the books
15) Running around in circles
16) Climbing the ladder of success
17) Pulling out the stops
18) Adding fuel to the fire
19) Opening a can of worms
20) Starting the ball rolling
21) Going over the edge
22) Picking up the pieces

Whew! What a workout! I think I\'ll exercise my caution now, and head out the door for some personal contact.

I dont know what this is about, but I must confess that I have been activated elsewhere, so Im in the dark. BUT...I got my new burgundy carpet layed and is it PrEtTy? Yep! Still have to get the other rooms prepared, but I guess I better go surf and catch up

Hi zilvy! I just finished reading your list and I'm pooped......does that count as exercise?

I'd love to see pictures of your new carpet though Hepburn!

Husband demanded to be the color picker and he chose burgundy. So what does that mean? Why, nothing much. Just have to paint EVERY room, since the walls clash with that color. When I get it all done, I will try to take a pic of it so you can see. It really is a pretty color, but it doesn't get along very well with my white SHEDDING dog

Easy solution: dye the dog.

You can tell everyone it's a rare breed. Soon, all your neighbors will want one.

Thanx Zilvy, I've been lookin' for an exercise plan that fits my lifestyle! Throwing my weight around was not nearly as effective before I spent two years of my life hanging out in front of this ^&*%*((&% computer!!!

A burgandy retreiver would be neat!!!...We've got the plain old "golden" type...A gift for my son on his 5th birthday...Shopped all over, spend a fortune on the thing and the kid responds "But, I wanted a BLUE one!"

Zilvy, I believe are response was something along the lines of "Tough!"...

[/i]Kids, I ask ya are they really necessary???[i] Of course they are!...Who would mow my lawn, empty my dishwater, take out the garbage, shovel the snow, bring in the groceries, etc, etc, for FREE!....They are just like having little slaves - just ask my kids, they WILL confirm that!.....(Pls Note: this TOO is a joke - I love my kids dearly, MOST days! )

kraftdinner Yes, I guess a disclaimer will be required since smilies are suspect, but then at the RT what or who isn't?

Sometimes, however, I am not joking, if you can believe that!
