Jeanette took on the “Obese women get only an hour of exercise a year” thing.

On a personal note, my allergies are bothering me much less since Sunday. Why? I spent over 3 hours Saturday doing “soak, rinse, repeat until the water is clear” on the electrostatic air filters for our furnace. Then waited about 4 hours for them to dry. Fortunately we replaced the windows in a few years back to the inside temp only went down about 10 degrees (and I set the heat UP about 5 degrees before I turned off the furnace to take out the filters).
Also on a personal note, I’m back into the swing of getting allergy shots once a week after an attack of life around November.
Our allergies hit us hard enough, I can’t imagine the problems you have. Because our problems are annoying but not (yet?) life threatening, we mostly medicate our way around the problem. If I wanted to maintain a low dust home with four kids and a dog, it would be a full time job by itself. That’s not really hyperbole, either, my wife and I do a ridiculous amount of cleaning already and that just maintains the home in a “clutter everywhere” state.
