So tell me, what's your position on DU?

[Redstone]

I mean, where and how are you usually positioned when hanging out and posting on DU?

Me:

When it's above 45 degrees: Out on the screen porch, sitting in an IKEA springy chair (with extra padding borrowed from another chair), feet up on one of those cheap molded resin tables, pillow under my left elbow (that's vital), Powerbook in lap, said Powerbook on an old "My First Dictionary" kids' book to keep the computer (and my groin, if you don't mind me mentioning said anatomy) from geting too hot.

Below 45 degrees: In my outer office, on the couch with the built-in recliner reclined, so no table for the feet needed, but the rest as above.

You?

[WindRavenX]

1. right now? In bed.

Tomorrow I'm going to NJ for thanksgiving:)

[Redstone]

11. Enjoy your trip and your holiday, would you?

Redstone

[WindRavenX]

14. you too!

:hug:

[Deja Q]

2. Damn. I had a much better response already thought up!

Anyone can PM me if they're interested... O8)

I'm at my computer, in my domicile, sitting erect for good posture.

[lizziegrace]

3. Sitting at an antique library table

my grandfather used as a Justice of the Peace. The table's situated under the large window in the livingroom that looks west, over the fields and single train track.

:)

[Left Is Write]

4. I'm usually sitting in my office chair in the office.

Goodness knows why. I have a laptop and wireless connection, so I can go anywhere in the house.

[Maddy McCall]

5. Missionary.

:P

On my chaise with my laptop.

With a Coke and cigs on the table to my left.

[Deja Q]

6. If it wasn't missionary, would you need the cigs in order to relax?

:yoiks:

[Maddy McCall]

8. .....

:spank:

:hi:

[Deja Q]

10. Oh, so you're into S&M?

:D

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

19. Snickers and Mars Bars?

Hell, yeah! Isn't everyone? :D

[Deja Q]

27. Wanna partake with me?

Mine is king sized!!

[Maddy McCall]

34. Who's gonna peel back the wrapper?

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

12. My cigs and drink are on my right. Why I should mention that, I have NO idea.

Redstone

[Maddy McCall]

21. Cuz I did?

And it's important, if we're discussing where our bodies are, in situ, right?

:hi: handsome.

[Redstone]

28. Once again, you get to the heart of the matter. Part of why I like you

so much.

And thanks for calling me that after your smilie thing.

Redstone

[WCGreen]

16. What .... No Sweat Tea.....

[Redstone]

18. "Sweat tea?" I bet that tastes gross, and is salty as well.

Redstone

[Maddy McCall]

23. Ok...you're officially the first DUer to make me gag.

I've usually got a tummy of iron. You gave me the back-of-the jaw heevies.

:scared:

[WCGreen]

48. I meant sweet tea....

MAn, I should stop coming and going as fast as I have been lately....

[Generic Brad]

7. Missionary

I will convert you to my way of thinking if you're not careful.

[crim son]

9. Half-reclined in my grandmother's antique blue velvet chaise longe.

In my living room, surrounded by books and pictures and lovely oriental carpets. This, regardless of temperature.

[Redstone]

13. Isn't a wireless network the cat's ass? I am sure I'd never spend the time here if I had

to be in my office chair at my workstation to do it.

Redstone

[crim son]

25. My dear man, I wouldn't know.

I'm wired up but have arranged it so that I can move from my desk, to my chaise, to my sofa if I want to look out the front window. In my next house I'm going wireless, and have already arranged with a friend who will set it up for me. Because I want to be able to lie in bed and DU, if that's the mood I'm in.

[Redstone]

29. Hey, you don't need to be wireless if you can plug in where you want to. My old office

was like that.

But here, the wireless works better.

Redstone

[NNadir]

15. A few years ago, the zoo where I am kept installed a little habitat

where I could squirrel away on very hot days. It was hoped that I would breed with others of my species - even though that has proved problematic as the zoo cannot determine what species exactly, I am. But extremely ugly animals are popular at zoos, at least zoos in the United States, because part of the zoo going experience includes tours by 5th grade classes where girls who are already wearing too much make up are encouraged to whine "ewwwwww.........what's that?" Thus I generate a certain amount of interest at the zoo, and I am indulged.

Anyway, they installed this little habitat, and one night, when all the caretakers were either drunk or stoned or at home, I broke into the zoo Director's office and stole his laptop. Now huddled furtively in my little private habitat, using it, I type messages here on DU.

[Redstone]

17. Does it have air conditioning?

Redstone

[NNadir]

20. No. They like it when I sit there with my tongue hanging out panting.

Also the air conditioning tends to keep the bugs from breeding as fast as they would otherwise.

It's a great show for the crowds when I have to pick at the bugs crawling all over me.

[Redstone]

30. But the bugs are a good deal, nutrition-wise. High protein, now fat.

Redstone

[NNadir]

31. Yes, and if I don't eat them when people are looking on, later in the evening

I'm am sure to be denied my swill bowl. Sometimes I am even poked with a cattle prod.

[Neoma]

35. Best thing i've read in awhile.

:thumbsup:

[OzarkDem]

37. Agree

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

22. Usually the 45 degree angle, sitting sideways on my couch

downstairs, laptop sitting on a bedtray on my knees, and the cat on my lap, between my torso and the computer. Right now, sitting upright on the livingroom couch, laptop on a TV tray.

[Aristus]

24. Me:

In my beloved home library, at my computer desk, listening to some good music (usually classical and right now, Antonio Salieri's 2nd Piano Concerto.)

[tinfoilinfor2005]

26. I am on my boat in the Florida Keys.

I sit on a couch looking out at the Florida Bay to the west, normally looking at the sunset. Usually my sliding glass door is open, and I am looking out at the bay and some mangrove islands. During hurricanes, the door is closed. Tonight the door is closed because we are getting unseasonably cold weather. Dropping down to the fourties tonight, says the weather guy. You'all on the mainland can laugh at this, since it probably won't go below forty degrees here. But try sitting on a boat in the harbor when a nor'easter is blowing in and the foam is covering the windows...It gets pretty darned cold. Fortunately, I have my penguin jammies and my bottle of rum. Rum = Island cure for everything.

[Redstone]

33. Yes, I'm jealous. No, I'm not. I'm happy that you can have that kind of life.

And I hope you're enjoying the hell out of it. (Zero sarcasm there.)

I'll bet you hear many people expressing jealousy of the way you live, and they NEVER realize that they could do the same, if they'd just let go (as you obviously have learned to).

A lesson for all of us: My initial reaction was "damn, what a way to live," and then I thought for a moment and realized that if I REALLY wanted to live that way, I could sell everything and just go do it instead of being jealous.

What a stupid reaction on my part.

And on the part of everyone who reacts to your post with jealousy.

Redstone

[tinfoilinfor2005]

50. It's not that unusual down here.

The price of housing is off the charts, and most people who live and work down here have to find alternative housing. Either you commute from the mainland, live in a trailer (very few left in Key Largo) or live on a boat. Our boat is in a live-aboard marina. It is a large boat with all the comforts, which we require since we both work full time. We just happen to love the water, so this is the best choice for us, going on twenty five years now. If we loved the mountains or the desert, we'd try to figure out some way to do that. But at the same time, we had our home years ago when we lived on the mainland and were raising a family, so it's not like we didn't have those experiences as well.

[qnr]

36. Sounds nice. We're contemplating doing something of that nature. n/t

[Redstone]

38. Do it. You'll always wonder "how would it have been?" if you don't.

Chances not taken are always the source of future regrets.

Redstone

[qnr]

40. True, but it's not like our other options aren't worthwhile too. That would be

to continue our travelling overseas. We've had that on hold for a number of years.

Sounds like we have money or something, but we don't. However, we didn't in the past, either.

Edit: left out a word.

[Redstone]

47. You don't need money to travel. Only desire.

Redstone

[cwydro]

51. I am in my office in Key West

looking out at Old Town. Hello fellow Keys person!B-) . And you're right, it is FREEZING here these last few days.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

59. I am in my office at the resort I run, looking at an empty pool

Even the tourists are too smart to go in today. :hi:
Nice to have another DUer in the Keys!

[cwydro]

61. Yeah, the tourists are looking a little grumpy today here too

but at least it's a beautiful day....not a cloud in the sky.

How cool to find a fellow DUer in the Keys! :hi:

[Writer]

32. Typically in my media room downstairs...

but otherwise I post from my office upstairs. Right now I'm down in front of the television with Mr. Writer on the adjacent couch, watching a rerun of Dr. Who. Gandalf and Pippin are pursuing each other's deaths, as usual.

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. Sideways on the couch in the living room

with my feet up and my iBook in my lap. Oh how I love having wireless.

Hubby is in the other room on his laptop. I just sent him an email. LOL

[TOhioLiberal]

41. Sitting at my desk...

...which you can barely see, I have so much junk on it. I'm a packrat, what can I say?

[Fuzz]

42. Reverse Cowgirl

:shrug:

[MrCoffee]

52. you beat me to it!

bugger and blast!

[bicentennial_baby]

43. I was gonna say adorable bitch, but.....

I sit in this quite uncomfortable chair, just so I can hang with you freaks here. :P

and my man is back on the DUh, so I'm a happy girl, cregardless of chair crapiness. :)

[qnr]

44. Generally, sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a tiny vestibule of the apartment.

The apartment is tiny, period, and the front door opens to the sidewalk of main street.

However, it actually works in my favor, because I'm normally working on five or six different things*. The lack of comfort keeps me active, and ensures that I get up and walk around/take a break frequently.

* For example, at the moment, I'm typing on DU, doing some coding work for the distro I work on, scanning some things, and turning the scanned items into an ebook.

[tinfoil tiaras]

45. Sitting. Laptop on Lap. Sometimes in bed. Sometimes in a chair.

:hi:

[unsavedtrash]

46. in the den

sitting on the recliner with my feet propped up.

[wickerwoman]

49. Hunched over my computer at (ssshhh... w...o...r...k)

And before any Freepers decide to try to get me fired, I work freelance and you can get stuffed.

[KG]

53. woof!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. Good morning, my dear Redstone!

I'm in the position that I'm always in: Here at my computer table, in my big upstairs study...

It's a generous room, about 440 square feet, and it's all mine...

I have two tables at right angles to each other; one has the computer and printer, and the other has the phone, my books and other assorted papers etc....

It has been the scene for many laughs, some tears, much joy...

This spot is my favorite one in this whole house........I live here...

:bounce: :bounce:

[NC_Nurse]

55. Sitting at my computer desk with a cat in my lap.

Another cat on the desk sitting by the monitor and dogs laying at my feet. Nobody wanted to go outside today because it's raining outside and Mom is home. :-)

[NewWaveChick1981]

56. Daytime, at my desk... evening, wherever I can...

:rofl: :hi:

[wildhorses]

57. at my desk underneath a west facing window in the kitchen,

radio playing softly either cd's or wncw. good chair. something to drink to my right...

[BarenakedLady]

58. On top

That goes without saying...

I'm in the office, at a large dark wooden mahogany (?) desk, my fingers are freezing.

Other times, I am lounging on my bed with my laptop.

[billyskank]

60. I am the God of Bread

:D

[Dukkha]

62. completely surrounded by media

Desktop workstation with two monitors, the second one using iTunes, DVD player, or TV tuner, it's a recording studio and graphics workstation so i'm constantly multi-tasking.

[Blue Diadem]

63. At my desk, with my leg/foot tucked under me

and in about 15 minutes I'll switch legs.. once I realize the leg/foot my fat butt is on goes to sleep. Gotta keep that circulation going..it's become a dance of sorts.

I'll be moving my desk soon..to the downstairs now that my youngest son has moved out. I'll finally have that view of farm fields and the woods again.
