1. Get up. Walk around for five minutes every hour.

I promise you, we will be here when you return. 😇

2. Thank You Very Much.......for your comment..

3. I've had exactly the same concern about my own time spent both here on DU and the....

….”inter webs” in general. And I’m a rank amateur compared to some folks here who have a quarter million posts. MineralMan, if you’re listening, I miss your stuff, but did you bail because of this sort of concern?

4. I am going to take a half hour break, and I will be back then. ( Maybe a longer, I've been sitting for hours.)

And another idea..........If you think this is not a real problem, then read the article at the link in post number one.

5. Hey, at least on a positive note, you're getting the news as you want it, w/ DU. Others, that sit down for

such intervals, are kids / young adults playing video games endlessly, those that are required to work in front of a monitor all day (Yikes).

I like the suggestion that one should get up regularly, move around, or do some minor exercises while sitting at the tube. As a long-time computer guy since the mid-1970s, this was a sore topic w/ me, being stuck at the terminal all day. However, things have gotten better, instead of the direct terminal link and having to do your business at that only link that was available (and we had sign up sheets on who would get access to the tube), we now have WIFI, or other direct cheaper links to our home computers/links.

And some, are able to do their work on their 'smart' phones. Things are getting better.
