Motion Sickness

I am one of those people who absolutely cannot read while in a car. I also cannot ride in the back seat (reading or not reading), and I have to avoid any and all motion simulation rides at thrill ride parks.
HOWEVER, my husband and I recently made a 3-1/2-hour drive to visit his family, and I worked in the front passenger seat the whole time and wasn't bothered one bit. It was a little tough to get situated at first, but once I got everything in a comfortable position, it worked out perfectly.
I'm not sure what the difference is, but there certainly was one in my case.
Hope this helps!

I get motion sickness and I think if you are prone to car sickness
you wouldn't be able to type in the car. I know I wouldn't be able to at all. I wouldn't even try it if I were you.
It's a SICKNESS!!!! (nm)

Disability, Sickness, & Hospital Insurance
Warning to everyone if you have separate health disability and or sickness policies bought through insurance companies. Please read your policies carefully and check with your insurance company BEFORE you need to submit any claims and especially find out how long it takes for the money to be sent to you.
Our disability insurance will pay a maximum of $900 a month. No problem even though it's only 1/3 of what he earns but it's better than nothing. NO WHERE in the policy does it state we need to send tax returns in for the last year....yet yesterday received a letter that we must do that...plus they DO NOT PAY the first 30 days of disability.
My husband was disabled from the beginning of June until 2 weeks ago, and really shouldn't be back to work yet, but it was necessary. The disability policy will pay a whole month, not 2. Over the years, I paid over $7,000 to this company for this coverage for a lousy $900? So now that we waited over a month for a check, we get this letter, and now it will be another month until he receives anything...again. And, to make matters worse, they do NOT pay the full amount if you have other coverage. I just don't need to wait 3 months for one lousy sentence they could have put in their policy in the very beginning.
I called them and of course got a less-than-perfect English customer service rep (of course!)and told her I wanted to talk to someone higher up after I asked why for some of these requirements and she gave me the same canned answers as in the beginning of the conversation. Do you think I'll get the call back? I doubt it. I will be calling again today.
Hubby was right. Insurance is a rip-off. You better believe I will be dropping quite a few policies after this is all over and may take a health savings plan instead if we survive this go-round. They just get you coming and going. Is there any company you can count on being above board, safe and reliable these days? 
Sorry to hear it,, Lyndia. Sickness messes up all plans. SM
That you're nevertheless still able to put money aside is pretty amazing in itself. Feel better soon. :)
I second that motion
Brilliant. They hear what they want to hear anyway. If you have it in black and white that it is 10 cents for 55 characters that is being honest. All they will notice is that it is 10 cents. If 10 is the magic number this way everyone is happy.
I second that motion.
I'm also from the south. I sorta like Bucky when he sings but not when he speaks. Not feeling that hair either although it is much neater looking since the stylist worked on it. I'm more irritated by Kellie though than Bucky.
I second that (e)motion.....*lol*...nm

I second the motion on AVG. I used to have it and -
liked the free AVG better than the McAfee I currently have that with my new PC.
Foot range of motion
I think he is referring to range of motion when he says 5,0,8,0,3,8,2????
I second the Mr. Clean eraser motion
My son recently got black permanent marker on my wooden kitchen table . . . amazingly, the magic eraser rubbed it right off. I have used them for textured surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom before also and they "work like magic".
They sounded awful and were all moving in slow motion.

Interesting article on MSNBC regarding repetitive motion strain and malaise.
