Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Listening to DH in the next room playing Doom3 with headphones on. Dude has no clue how loud he is...heavy breathing, grunting, thrashing about in his chair.

LOL! At least he wears headphones! It could be worse. We used to live in a small apt and our headboard backed up to the computer (paper thin wall dividing the rooms...might have even been just panelling). I'd lay there trying to sleep listening to all the growls and monster moans.
I thought you were going to make a comment about the headboard hitting the wall and knocking the computer off its desk or sumptin'.
Apparently not running makes Rick EXTRA pervy...not that that's a bad thing, per se.
As for the game thing...I could get addicted to the SIMS for a few days at a stretch, but then I'd bet bored. I don't get gaming at all! And I really wish did would not play at all when Dane is around. The kid is totally obsessed with guns. Gah.
We're not anti-gun (have a practice site on the property) but our kids can pick their guns according to their missions- that's for sure! Bonding time with Dad!
Hey, do you guys do anything with archery?

I think guns are great...for hunting, but Dane is all about machine guns and fully automatic things for shooting aliens and zombies. And pretends to shoot them all day. Bah. Hey, do you guys do anything with archery?
Just started an archery class with my 8-year old son. He LOVES it! Says its the funnest thing he's ever done. I'm buying him his own bow this week. Just so you know, most boys get into guns to one degree or another. As a hunter and recreational shooter, I'd advise any parent to let their kids learn recreational shooting for safety purposes if nothing else. Both my kids have shot appropriate guns at appropriate targets, and we make it a routine part of our family outings. (We camp a lot). I don't care if they take up shooting on their own, I just don't want them playing with their friends' dad's gun when nobody is home. At least I know they've learned good safety practices from me. (If you have no formal training yourself, I'd highly suggest it, again for safety reasons. Like learning to swim whether you like it or not).
Lazy idiot
...but this constant obsession with making machine gun noises and pretending to shoot everything in sight in the house has gotten old...really fast.
Tick tock
I've got a fever...
FWIW, I did this all the time as a kid and I turned out okay.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Other than the Ohio State thing...
Yeah...see, this is my concern.
