QUESTION:    I work sitting at the computer and now I am hooked on the internet looking up fun things and I have a bad back. It hurts to sit when I am working so long or even when I am having fun. Now my hand hurts when I wake up from clicking the mouse so much. I think I have arthritis in my joints and I don't think anything helps. If I exercise it hurts and if I sit or even lie in bed too long it hurts. I guess the best thing is to get a laptop so I can move around while I am on the computer. What do you think of laptops? I had back surgery for a ruptured disc and spinal stenosis one year ago and I am better but I cannot sit too long or do anything for a long time without being in pain. I have to take Vicodin almost every day and sometimes every 4-6 hours when I am awake. I am not addicted to it in fact it makes me nauseated but I cannot take aspirin or advil because they bother my stomach. Ice and heat help but are not convenient to take with me when I go out. I use hot pepper cream (Zostrix) and it helps too. Would a laptop be better for all my aches and pains or should I just learn to live with it and continue with the desktop? I heard there is a new program you can channel on your T.V. I hate television because it bores me but I love the internet and I have so many things I still have not had time to look up. I have so many interests. I am working at 3 jobs now and most of the time I work at home on the computer running my husbands business with the billing etc. and I am trying to sell computers for a 7% commission but have not sold any yet. I also have a nutrition class once per week that I teach and I run a clinic for obese adults and children. I am a wife and mother too and I am going to be a grandmother in May and my daughter wants me to babysit so she can continue with he job as an attorney for a law firm in San Francisco. Do you think I need to stop some of my jobs and take care of my back and go to Physical Therapy>/????I did it for awhile and it helped but it was hard to go because it is so expensive and my insurance is not good. I need to stop emailing all my friends and get back to work and now I am telling you my problem with no time and I know your answer will be to stop doing it all and especially the email. Thanks............... (Carol Charm)

ANSWER:    Stop sleeping on your car.

(Paul Chapman)

ANSWER:    My time?  Ok, imagine you had a third foot, approximately 14 1/5 meters in length.  On this foot, imagine there was a tongue.  Only this tongue could only speak Japanese (but it has been mute for 3 years).  Living on this tongue is a zebra.  A crazy zebra.  We're talking loopy here.  All the zebra does is fish.  It doesn't even use bait.  I keep telling it, "Hey you crazy zebra, you won't catch anything without bait.  Have some corn."  But it always just stands there blinking at me.  Got all that?   My time is the exact opposite of that.

QUESTION:    So, Skippy, I gather there's this guy named John who's a computer science major at the University of Delaware, who has an interesting site full of clever and amusing time-wasting activities (which I happened to stumble upon
accidently and would rather peruse than do my homework), and you, Skippy, will answer all. Here's some I've been pondering:
(1) At what income level does an increase in money fail to bring an increase in happiness?
(2) Does each individual have a moral obligation to be of service to society?
(3) Does the lack of a Y2K problem with Macs proof of superiority?
(4) Why are there more people in prison in the United States than any other country?
(5) Shouldn't it be against the law to put green pepper on pizza?  (Robyngray)

ANSWER: That's a long one...I better put on my thinking pants!   1) Whatever it is, I haven;t reached it yet.  But if nothing else, you can always give a lot of gifts and make those around you happy.  2) Yes.  I suggest enlistment in the 57th Local Fighting Flying Air Fish, our snorkeling defense against those crazy bi-linguals to the north.  3) No.  Paperweights don;t need decent software to do their duty as paperweights.  4) Because we have more prisons!   Duh!  5) <National Anthem begins here>I'm not prejudice against any peppers.  And why do they have to be green?  Can't they just be called "peppers of color?"  If someone wants magenta peppers or even mauve ones, it's fine by me.  That's what makes America so great.  <National Anthem ends>

QUESTION:    I have a small gift shop with a wide variety of things most of my customers are older women and my best selling item is "POP ROCKS" what are these old women up to? (Mark & Mary Jo Hoffman)

ANSWER:    As our population grows and society advances, our diet relies heavier and heavier on pre-packaged, long shelf life food.  Thus, our bodies slowly absorb more and more preservatives, keeping us strong and rubbery.  Old people, on the other hand, seem to be fed mostly apple sauce at the Home (Happy Manor, Shady Pines, etc.)  Slowly degrading, their bodies crave the artificial sustenance they have grown to love.  Pop rocks are rich in nitrates, free radicals, and vitamin R.  Don't forget to bring Granny a few Twinkies next time you visit.

QUESTION:     How big is it? You know...==>ahem<==... hehehehehehehehe *convulsing in laughter on the floor*, oh, and by the way, the Goth duck is ours... we will be sending it as soon as we find a dollar. We're poor. We have a 10,000 dollar comp system (No B.S. of a lie, man) but we are poor. That is where all of our money went. Spare a dollar, buy a duckie? We are Canadians, too, a dollar is a lot of money to us, since the dollar sits at about 50 cents US... awwww... poor Canadians... (Dave Cubsey)

ANSWER:    The website?  Oh, it's very large.  Some even call it gigantic.  I tried to measure once, but I couldn't find the right kind of  increment.  Sorry to hear about the exchange rate.  But at least you don't live in America.  The weasel problem is atrocious.  

 

QUESTION:     is there anywhere in the world where it's legal to skateboard on the sidewalk? if so, where is this place? I LIKE IT ALREADY! why thank you! I love... umm yeah.. I haven't slept in 32 hours. I'm hungry... (don mccollum)

QUESTION:     what the hell kind of drugs are you on, and which planet do you get them from!? (Michael Butler)

ANSWER:   I'm not too keen on drugs, but I do prefer a diet of mostly plastic.  My body is like one giant Tupperware container, inside and out.  I keep things fresh, come with a sturdy resealable lid, and rinse off easily even when covered with heavy stains.

 

QUESTION:     I'm a firm believer in Einstein's special theory of relativity because of the plethora of experimental evidence supporting it, for example, the observed fact that a muon (a cosmic ray byproduct) decays with a half-life of 1.54 microseconds in its rest frame but, when travelling at 0.98 times the speed of light through the earth's atmosphere, decays with a time dilated half-life of 7.70 microseconds (in the earth's reference frame). My question is this: If I'm travelling at 0.98 times the speed of light through my high school physics class, does the normally unbearable 50 minute class time shrink to a more stomachable 10 minutes? (Lawrence Samuelson)

ANSWER:    Yes, the time would shrink, but just make sure your safety belt is fastened securely, because if your class were do hit a speed bump, those test tubes can get lodged in some pretty uncomfortable places, if you catch my drift.  (And if you do catch my drift, give it back!  I need it for the windsurfing competition next Friday!)

 

QUESTION:     What should I do tomorrow? (Joy Blackwood)

ANSWER:    The same thing as me.   Party like it's 1999. (Wearing no socks)

 

QUESTION: Dear Skippy, Why is it that every time I get on the Internet to do serious research I find myself following you on adventures, reading your articles, and,yes, even feeling strange urges to eat toast and mail you a duck? Are there subliminal messages hidden in your background or am I just easily influenced? Help! (Greg McBride)

ANSWER:  Hidden Messages?   <SendMeaCheckForAHundredDollarsOrYourHairWillFallOut>  On my page?   <YouHaveAnUncontrollableUrgeToEatPocketLint>  Never!  How could you even suggest such a <TastyChewyYummyFingernails> thing?

 

QUESTION:  Hi I got this geography question which I would like you to help me with. So this is it Proove that the earth is round and not flat (Michelle Hawthorne)

ANSWER:  Actually it's neither.  What kind of old-world textbook are you using?  The world is actually shaped like a giant fishbowl.  Did you ever hear of that place called "Australia?"  There is no real "Australia," it's only the place where the hole in the earth is.   If you went to "Australia," you would fall in and be trapped inside what scientists call the "Earth Pit."  That's what happened to my Uncle Mike.

 

QUESTION:  what do you think when me (as in a girl has never been asked out) but I do get along with the guy and hang out with them and I am no tomboy. I so act like a girl and very nice and sweet. what are some signs that a guy does like you but doesn't ask you out? (happygolucky016)

ANSWER:    Guys, like girls, can be cryptic.   Here's what you should do: Visit your local bank and buy several rolls of nickels.   Every time you see him, reach into your pocket and give him a nickel.  Say something cute like "Nickel is my favorite alloy, and you're my favorite person in this school."  Then do 12 cartwheels.  Keep it up for a few months (but NEVER in April) and he's yours...
