If you sneezed at 1 AM in the basement of your home, the entire village would ask about your health the next day.

		<description><![CDATA[Couch potatoes have moved to the Office Chair. Sitting in front of your computer for hours at a time isn't good for you. We've lost our way. We aren't leaving the fronts of our screens (or our iPhone screens, iPad screens, Blackberry Screens... you name it) for very long. Exercise is suffering. Our arteries are just as clogged as if we sat on the couch watching TV all day. Same inactivity, different medium.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=cactuswrangler.com&blog=9795968&post=128&subd=bethterry&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
