Dead Butt Syndrome






I read a lot. I am a valuable source of useless information.

It’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it.

Well I noticed an article I just read about dead butt syndrome.

That’s a new one for me. Apparently it’s a real thing and hundreds of Americans suffer from it.

It comes from sitting on your butt all the time.

I wish I knew about this when I was raising my kids. That may have scared them more than telling them if they don’t eat their vegetables they will get into trouble because there are kids starving in China.

If I could have told my kids... If you don't get off your butt and do something your butt could be frozen! Now that could scare a kid. It even scares me.

What about all these kids who incessantly play games on their phone. I’ve heard of kids going to parties and sitting next to each other all while still transfixed on their phones. We’re raising a generation of kids that do not know how to engage in conversation with each other.

They need to develop some treadmills for young kids to walk on while they’re on their handheld computers. It would be good exercise and good for their balance.

I can just see them as 40 year-old adults. They won't be able to get out of their chairs because they have dead butt syndrome.

This also explains what’s going on with some of the politicians. If their brains are where we think they may be, that could be the answer to all the problems we have in this nation.

I wonder if Kim Kardashian got her butt from sitting on it all the time as a child.
It runs in the family so I guess not.

No hate mail please I’m not being racist against big butts.

I guess that Mark Zuckerberg knew about this because he has treadmills for his employees. They can "walk" while they work. He was actually doing them a favor. Not only are they getting exercise but they’re keeping themselves from getting dead butt syndrome.

I wonder if you lose brain cells if you sit on your butt too much. I will have to do some research on that. I guess it depends on where your brains are.

It’s a very painful condition and you lose strength in your glutes and thighs. All of which come in handy.

I have to get up now and walk around, before my butt goes dead. Until next time.

Hey Gen Z, What Up?

  So I read Generation Z doesn’t believe in emails and doesn’t open them. My kids’ generation was Gen X. They told me many years ago that if I wanted to hear from them I would have to email them. I had no idea what that was but I figured it out because I had a computer. I can’t figure out when kids started giving their parents rules. If I told my Mom that, I wouldn’t be able to sit down for a week, maybe a month. Then from email it changed to text. Something else to have to learn but I did it. But let’s talk about the people of today. They don’t care about anything. Try to get an answer from anyone about anything. “It was my day off.” “Not my area of expertise.”   “I’m off in 10 minutes.” The last time I was in the hospital I did not get a scheduled meal.   My husband brought it in. One nurse said her shift was over, the next person will feed you. Well it was right then and there that I was checked out and went home. Whoever heard of that junk? Did you ever try to get a m

Holiday Thoughts

Image
  When I was a kid in the dark ages, I thought Jews were the only ones that did not celebrate Christmas. My parents and my friends would say you celebrate Hanukkah and get a gift eight nights. I don’t know anybody that got a gift all eight nights. If I was lucky, I got a gift one night and it was usually like pajamas. I would always look at beautiful Christmas decorations. We of course had none, just a menorah. That didn’t come close to Christmas decorations. If I could wear a Christmas tree lit around my neck I would. I think it was because I was deprived as a child but don’t quote me. So I was a stubborn little kitten. I decided to hang a stocking over the fake fireplace we had in our apartment. Don’t ask me how I got that stocking I didn’t get an allowance. I probably stole it. So I made sure to tell my parents that I was hanging a stocking. I didn’t care if we were Jewish or not. Well, I got a lecture from my Mom but since daddy was my Dad, he did not say a word and I hung my

This Groundhog Didn't Get His Day

Image
  Milltown Mel died! Who is Milltown Mel? He is one of a few rare ground hogs given the honor of an important once a year job.   I guess he was protesting with the rest of Americans saying the pay was too low. One day before his performance.   A bit drastic. They even had to call off Groundhog Day in Milltown, New Jersey. Apparently there was no one in back up training.   All the climate change we’ve had recently was probably just too much stress for him. Maybe he wasn’t taking his vitamins. He probably didn’t like his food and, like I said, his pay was probably very meager.   How do you honor the famous dead groundhog?   A special service? Cremation or ground burial? How about a medal of valor from the President for years of service. I wonder if he had any children that could take over. I don’t even know if he was married. I couldn’t even tell you how groundhogs mate.   I don’t get into all that animal reproductive stuff.   I’m a city girl and really don’t care.   On a bri
