I'd like to join Lumptonia, but only if I can stay in the comfort of my bed; the couch is ALL the way down the stairs. Stairs bear too strong of a resemblance to actual exercise...ugh.
I do have some contributing suggestions... First, groceries are easily delivered via homegrocer.com (part of webvan.com), peapod.com, etc., although admittedly, their areas are limited.
The best thing, however, if you live in a supporting area, is Kozmo.com. I used them when I lived in Seattle; whoever created that company should be an Honorary Lumptonian. You can order videos/DVDs to be delivered to your door within an hour. No more going to Blockbuster, no more getting off the couch (that house was ranch style so that I could make it from the bed to the couch without stairs - whew!). The best part is - are you ready for this - they deliver cool stuff like toilet paper and Ben and Jerry's, both of which are necessities. I miss Kozmo.com...
Petsmart.com delivers dog food, and if you wait for a buy-one-get-one-free sale, you can even avoid having to lug it in off the porch very often. An essential for that ongoing petly support...
Might mouse-clicks (or remote clicks) become the only acceptable "exercise" in your amazing Nation? In the words of Dilbert, "Still Pumped from Using the Mouse."
Humbly requesting admittance,
Angela
