I Wonder

[Wayne Goodwin]

I have wondered for a long time and i can't do it anymore .

Is it really comfortable to sit with your legs crossed ?

It looks painful on a lot of people . I guess if you have a wedge between your legs it would be . I know i can't do it anymore .

Why do you do it ? I noticed some women from my past do it to keep the Gnats away . Maybe other do it to keep their Bush or Pantys hid . I know Babara Walters was sitting one time and her legs came apart like Britiny Spears did getting outa that car .

What ya think ?

One of the worst things you can do if you have a bad back is cross your legs.  I have learned not to do it.

Wayne, have you talked to your doctor about this wedge as you refer to it? Why it happened what can be done about it?

You really don't need to to be crude in order to ask a question..just saying...

I would assume people wouldn't assume uncomfortable positions for a long period of time they had a choice.

I seldom cross my legs because of numbness in my legs and possible poor ciculation..it's a health thing.

Ihave numbness in my feet and less sensitivity in my fingers . The groth I have came up after my appendix burst . May be the way I was sewed back together . They cut me around 14 to 17 inches straght down . Growth is about the size of a long basketball . Going to doctor Thursday morning will ask him about it .... I watched tfe fatest man on netflix over the weekend . He weighted over 800 pound and he had two growth on him . Doesn't hurt at all just in the way . Pants. Don't fit well . I am trying to loose weight now have cut my bread down from one loaf a day to 4 slices . No more frying . Haven't had any fast food in months .

I used to cross my legs all the time. It requires a lot of attention to how you place your legs and where your skirt is. Through the hears, my arthritic knees have made crossing my legs uncomfortable, so I got out of the habit. I think I would still do it if it weren't for that.

I do cross my legs, and i also sit on the floor a lot with my legs criss- crossed. It doesnt bother me, I think it's all the years of yoga.

I can't cross my legs today.  I worked in the garden over the weekend, dug, shifted dirt, planted some. My "buttocks" and the muscles in the backs of my legs are killing me.

And, here is a Wayne type bit of information:

When I sit on the toilet seat, the hard plastic actually HURTS!!!
