Supporting windows computers for family

yea I know everyone probably does this. But my family brings the pc over at dinner time so I order a pizza hoping they will at least chip in on the pizza for my time so I end up fixing their PC and buying them pizza for dinner while I fix their PC (I got one slice and they ate the rest and I paid for it all)

I repeatedly, and with wild abandon, beat my head against the wall because it feels _SO GOOD_ when I stop.

That's scary. I don't know how it could feel so good when you stop.

Try it.

Ok, I'll attempt to give a semi-reasonable answer.

My primary hobby, noncomputer related, is recumbent bicycling. It's actually more than just a hobby as it's a combination of hobby, physical therapy to recover from a nasty car wreck that crippled me, and my primary means of transportation.

I ride a Sun Bicycles EZ-1 recumbent everywhere I go. Once I was allowed to start trying to walk again after 6 months of being laid up I started riding a little at a time. At first it was only about a block but a couple of weeks ago I rode 50 miles so I'm making progress. Best of all, thanks to riding, I am walking (and working again) now instead of sometime next year as the all-knowing doctors predicted.

I've also dropped 48lbs in 3 months

i doubt that you will go back to standard bicycles with that kind of speed
had checked on the net , high-performance recumbent is really something ...

masonm gets a *Bursts out laughing!* Well done, masonm!

BDSM. But with the wife, of course

When bored with doing what I am doing on my linux, I play GNOMETRIS

Otherwise I do Jumping Jacks. I do about 300 every time I get started.
