Weekend Luddite

Hi Reinhard :D I think it would be great to have more fun on the weekend, and sitting endlessly on the computer seems to be losing it's charm... Richard has also been on video games for, sometimes 8 hours on a weekend day... I don't want to be a big meanie to him, but I think that there are tons of ...

Instead of imposing restrictive rules Tricia, enjoy your freedom, but redefine what enjoying freedom means to you... If you don't like being bloated and overstuffed and mindlessly eating, those are great goals in themselves... Plan, ahead of time, a few nice S's for the weekend, and just have them.....

Actually, electric instruments can be pretty weighty as they are usually solid wood and then you've got the metal components inside too..' It's probably more like eight pounds.
