Oh well, I have all but forgotten it.
What was this thread about again?
Democrats hardest hit. Their brains get crushed.
Are they sitting on their heads?

This was obviously written by a 20 year old.

Good advice! Time to get up and do something.
They sort of go around in circles on this, but standing a significant part of a work day is the answer, standing and moving around. You don't stand stiff in one spot like a statue, but lift the feet and move the body some, as well as take occasional short walks around the office.

Nice!
That would have been above my pay grade.
Do idiots really misplace car keys? Unbelievable.

I’ve misplaced guns, cash, shoes, hats, drinks, vehicles, people, and clothes, but NEVER car keys.
