You can tell the little people are out on spring break

Yep.  They need to be out playing in the snow, or shoveling the driveway...
or (down here in the southern U.S.) enjoying the sunshine rather than
trolling or spamming :)

Why do you think obesity among children has reached practically epidemic
proportions, and has health authorities worried?  The "one-eyed monster"
in the living room that once kept kids indoors after school was only the
tip of the iceberg!  (Now, even their "action games" - war, wild west,
space adventures - seem to take place indoors, isolated in a virtual
world.)

Of course, ahem... we should talk. :)

LOL  Yeah, but I did all my playing *outside* when I was a kid, as a young
adult and as a not much younger than I am now adult.  Sitting in front of
the television was boring. (Still is, if you ask me!)  As a teen the Atari ?
(hooked up to TV) game system bored me, too, so I had no interest in
following the subsequent evolution of computer games.  Now that I'm middle
aged I've earned the right to sit!  And I'm not obese :)

Maybe I aught have remember my younger days.  I have got fat over the last
couple years.   Too much of my own good cooking

Oh I dunno - seems as though a good many people here talk about
bicycling, skating, hiking, or doing sports of one sort or another!
Maybe some of us are elderly couch potatoes, and of course some are
disabled, but we're not the ones who commit malicious mischief on the
internet, either!  That requires kids with too little supervision, too
much time on their hands, and no incentive to play outdoors.

Since when does there need to be incentive to play outdoors?  All that is
required is outdoors and someone with a slight imagination.

LOL Very true, Jo.  As a kid I couldn't *wait* to change out of my school
clothes and go outside and play.  Rainy days were the boring ones, unless it
wasn't storming badly, then we could put on our galoshes and rain slickers
and go out and jump in puddles or build stick & mud dams by the curb. <G>
As a teen, after school I'd meet my friends and we'd take long walks around
the neighborhood and through the woods and fields that were around it.
Okay, we weren't always "behaving ourselves", but we were outside getting
exercise and fresh air :)

Yeah, it's the "slight imagination" that seems to be lacking, these
days! ;-)

We just did that, thanks to Amanda.  She finally got some back pay from the
VA and, since we'd been paying all her expenses, took us to Wilmington, NC.
We had a great time, even Wamsee, who, was my bed cat since pets weren't
allowed at the motel.  We walked the beach and collected shells, visited the
Battleship North Carolina (was on TAPS haunting on Sci-Fi network.  only
found a cold spot and the door to the bathroom stall didn't want to lock.  I
figure the reasons could be anything), the Fort Fisher Aquarium, and Fort
Fisher the battle field.  I took my computer, but, for some reason, the
cyber-club kept giving us plug in your cable messages, so we gave it up.  I
didn't even bother to open mine up.  The rest played their games late at
night while I read.  We needed the break, though I wish Mandy hadn't
insisted on paying for it.

You should not make fun of this person.  They go to a public library to
post this silliness so you must assume their "parents" can't afford a
computer for the trailer so try to be understanding.

Could it be "bird-man" again? Dude, I like owls! Could that
make me less of a bird threatening cat person?

ALREADY????  (Easter isn't until the 23rd, but I guess schools don't go
by that, any more.)

Spring break is earlier than Easter. Well, I guess it depends on when
Easter comes, but spring break spans February through March. I'm aware
of this because I visit my family in Florida and I try to avoid it.

Some colleges let out for Spring Break last week.  I don't have any idea
when primary, middle & high schools get those breaks anymore; they used to
correspond with Easter but Easter isn't a "constant".  Frankly, I'm not sure
why schools (other than colleges) even *have* spring and fall breaks.
People in the U.S. always bitch about poor education but it seems schools
are out more than they are in!

Here in Florida they did something very strange this year  every college and
university are off this week

Maybe one day technology will advance enough to be like the matrix and they
can download some intelligence into these "young people"

That must wait until they invent COMPUTERS that possess intelligence!
(If our civilization lasts that long!) Most laymen don't seem to realize
that, however swiftly computers compute, and however many mathematical
problems they solve swiftly, they don't really THINK! (Unfortunately,
that seems to be true of a great many humans these days, too.)

Our government may try to ignore "global warming", but its consequences
are with us already, and many scientists are alarmed because it is
progressing much, much faster than originally estimated.  I begin to
think my Mormon friends are correct in their belief that "Armageddon" is
near, and that Mankind is bringing it down upon itself!

Evelyn they already have A.I.  artificial intelligence units  that have  non
sentient thinking.  They can think outside the box for problems and solve
them with out our help and input

One day it will come but it won't be mother nature fury taking us out  it
will be our own stupidity  be by virus, machine

I think that's one of the things we bitch about!  (Too many "breaks" and
not enough quality time spent in the classroom.)
