Couch potato poll!

[Metalhead]

Are you a fellow couch potato?

 

[Progster]

I bought myself a new sofa, but hardly ever use it. I'm not good at sitting still, unless I'm forced to because I'm on a plane, or something is really, really captivating, in which case I forget all else except my focus of interest.

I am a chair potato. On the couch, there’s too much risk someone will sit too close.

I prefer the bed actually. If I'm going to "Potato-eyes."

Does a "forum jockey" count as a couch potato?
If that includes surfing video shorts, does that make me a You-tuber...?

When I'm home and have nothing to do, I can usually be found in my bed. I do sit on the couch to watch TV though.

Don't be corny!

Absolutely. I'm a couch potato, chair potato, bed potato, log potato, rock potato, park bench potato, etc. But mostly, I am a wheelchair potato. I do a lot of sitting. But usually, as I'm sitting, I'm running errands. And when I'm not in my wheelchair, my mind and my hands are very busy with work or other projects.

Walking using crutches or walking sticks is important too, but with my disability, I can only go so far. In my wheelchair I can go 11 miles on a charge, if I needed to. It's like a little car that you can drive indoors too.

I used to walk more often. But I'm constantly on the move these days, so much that I couldn't walk that far. Maybe if I had a car, I could drive places and then use crutches or trekking poles. But for now, just getting to the destination is usually several miles without a car. My bottom gets so sore from all the sitting. It sucks.

Most people stand all day and then their feet hurt, so they sit down. Me, it's the other way around. I'm in my wheelchair all day, and my sit bones start hurting, so I get up and hobble around.
