One reason so many American women are overweight may be that we are vacuuming and doing laundry less often, according to a new study that, while scrupulously even-handed, is likely to stir controversy and emotions.
The study, published this month in PLoS One, is a follow-up to an influential 2011 report which used data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to determine that, during the past 50 years, most American workers began sitting down on the job. Physical activity at work, such as walking or lifting, almost vanished, according to the data, with workers now spending most of their time seated before a computer or talking on the phone. Consequently, the authors found, the average American worker was burning almost 150 fewer calories daily at work than his or her employed parents had, a change that had materially contributed to the rise in obesity during the same time frame, especially among men, the authors concluded.
I think its sad that things like basic housework or climbing some stairs is considered exercise. . .

Walking to the car is exercise.

I'm a stay-at-home-dad and I gotta' tell ya, housework was, indeed, making me gain weight.
At's why I stopped doing it!

Well, it is in the sense that it does burn calories, particularly if done correctly.
It takes me about an hour of constant moving to vacuum and mop my dining room/kitchen floor, including upending the chairs on the dining room table, the stools on the island and vacuuming the throw rugs. Then I get to climb up and down the step ladder to dust high and see to the ceiling fan.
We can discuss the bathroom next, if you like. ;D

Lets not and say we did.

Actually, she'll be happier with a whole-house vacuum. Trust me.
-
As long as it still requires her to push a vacuum back and forth across the carpet. Look how svelte and attractive it's kept her.

I could wrap my arms around that tiny waist twice. ;D

Yea, that's unfortunate. We were just getting acquainted.

TeachX3 inexplicably PM'd me this AM and asked how to delete her account and erase her personal information from the forum. That is an admin-only function. I asked her why, and she said no single particular reason, thanked me for the hospitality, and blessed me and the rest of us in the name of Christ Jesus. I could do nothing but comply with her request. We'll likely never know why.

I dunno. I know we can get a bit salty when discussing righteous justice (and in particular, the form that justice will come in ::evilbat::), maybe it was that? Most of us here have connected the dots and concluded that our Leftist enemy is not simply misguided or incompetent, but deliberately doing what it is doing -- and maybe it's too much to swallow if you're not as far along in the dot connecting?

Maybe not just too much to swallow, but maybe also anxiety-provoking. Big Brother watching and all that jazz ...
There's lots of salty 'round here; venting it here is probably what keeps us all sane and functioning in the world. For now.
-
Before I deleted her account I went back and read her last several posts. There was no indication that she was uncomfortable with the direction of the conversations, or any indication that she was not in general agreement with the overall "tone" of the forum. (God, I hate that word, even when it is used in a benign context.) No conflict with any members.
::whatgives::

TeachX3, your presence here was a plus for the forum and it's regretful to see you go, if you must. It would be
a final helpful thing if you would let us, you have our email address, know what it was that brought you to the decision to leave. Thank you.
-
Not to conjecture, but if all the personal info was deleted than most likely it was a personal event. I know a few cases where a small variety of life factors caused somebody to seek to delete their personal stamp from something.
I hope you are okay and fare well, Teach.
-
Wow! I missed a lot by not clicking on this thread! I, too, thought Teach was a valuable asset to the boards and will miss her insight.
-
Huh? What happened?
ETA - I too could not find any evidence in past posts leading to an indication, I think pisskop may be right, something larger at work here than our mere comments and attendant venting.
I know we all wish her well and hope all is well with her and her family.
-
I wish Teachx3 all the best and pray whatever her reasons for leaving are resolved quickly. Like to see her back.
