Re: Anyone else have low muscle tone and bad back pain?

I’ve started using a laptop now. I find that being able to move it to different places keeps me a little more mobile.

I also use an app to remind me to move when I’m using the laptop. Plus I use an app for back stretches.

Re: Getting flustered doing daily tasks

I struggle at Aldis as well. They presure you to put things in the bag as fast as possible. Saying that though at all other supermarkets people start tutting etc if your not lighting quick as well. With day to day activities I really like using the daily to do list app. I use it each and every day ...

Re: Worried About My Future

I have had a fair few jobs in the past. All have ended badly. I got accused of being lazy and slow. In the end for all the trying to remain positive it gets to you in the end.

Re: Little experiment; What do you all do?

Im a photographer with a degree in Visual Arts from BIAD. I have a website (philipappleyard.com *is it ok to post a link?*). I love art but find I only really naturally suite photography. I have a propensity to overthink other forms of art and my physically applying myself to them.

As both the chiroprator and a doctor said it's very important to do strengthening exercises that the chiroprator or ...

Re: What chance did I stand? or am I just lazy?

They area only people who don't know me too well or my wife's relatives when they are a bit tipsy. Her relatives tend to earn quite a lot and I don't, so I think being a housekeeper and looking after our 3 year old isn't enough for them. I have graduated with a degree in Visual Arts last September ...

What chance did I stand? or am I just lazy?

I ask because People have always said that because I am clearly bright I must be lazy. In a way if I was not too bright maybe I wouldn't get so much abuse?
