Those poor other people. ;-)

I hear ya. lol

It’s OK, in her spare time, BG refinishes ‘pool’d’ furniture and still manages to rescue wayward souls and post some mmm.. MMmmm good threads. :-)

I spend 10 hours a day on screens. It’s my IT job. With hope and change coming down the road, no doubt it will be cut down to 2 hours. If I’m lucky.

[bd476]

LOL! And she probably does all that while posting here at the same time.

[NormsRevenge]

In past loves, uhh jobs, the screen was part of the job, ya can’t get away from it.. good luck cutting it back that much.

In 1939, "screens" used to be called "paper" plus "radio".

Unless your were an illiterate ditch digger, you spent at least 8 hours a day in front of "paper" plus "radio" back in 1939.

Only 8 hours a day on FR? How come? Take away their password until a full apology.

Can I get credit watching TV and FREEPING? Does that give me bonus hours added to this worthless study?????

[xjcsa]

I blame FR.

"Adult Americans spend an average of more than eight hours a day in front of screens"

And CommieBama is on every one of them...continually.

8 hours a day in front of paper?

I doubt it. Back then, most people were in agriculture. It was 10 hours a day in a field or mending or tending something.

[Chickensoup]

at work i used to push paper 8 hours a day. now i read a screen and push buttons.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Your point IS???

I can give up FR anytime! ANYtime!

Yeah. That's it!

[NormsRevenge]

tax credits sound OK? this could be a bonanza, yaknow.

just have to figure a way to spin it that the more you’re staring at a screen, the less energy you’re using.. and you’re thus ‘entitled’ to carbon credits. :-)

I’ll never watch real life again.

[Ahithophel]

8 hours, is that all?

[bd476]

[bd476]
