Sympatico / MSN Health & Fitness : News : Average American is 1 inch taller, 25 pounds heavier than 40 years ago

Bigger is NOT better.

Don't be too short for your weight, Dear Gentle Reader.
Live longer - Don't be super-sized.

Hubs and I just bought a new mattress & spring set. What says "committment" more than buying something that comes with a ten-year guarantee?
Our old mattress & spring set wore out partly because of our difference in weight, although I turned AND flipped the mattress at least twice a year for even wear.

I was heavy and he wasn't.
Now the tables are turned, and Hubby has become a little tubby.

The thing comes with a 20" TV...
We have an extra VCR...
Welcome to the Love Nest Home Theatre!
I will stage a private Chick Flick Festival, complete with chocolate bon-bons, roses and wine.
He can have a Martial Arts Marathon with ??? Beer? Saki? Snacky?
Eating, lazing about, flipping the remote...
Isn't that how we all collectively got to be an average of 25 lbs heavier?

Maybe we'd just better give that TV to charity or something...
