CAR - When driving or riding in a car, you should make sure the seat is at a slight back angle from 90 degrees from seat to back - most car seats have a dip at the back of the seat, so it's less than 90 degrees, which is bad for the back. You should get a pad or wedge that lifts the seat sag up to regain that 90+ degree angle. You should also use a lumbar support or pillow behind your lower back at the curve for lumbar support - some cars have this function installed on the seat. You can use a special pillow or you can get by with a rolled up towel (use duct tape to keep it from rolling apart) or an unopened paper towel roll (this can come in handy if you have a spill or other mess that happens in the car - dual purpose! But it won't be comfortable until it gets worn more flatly). SITTING - When sitting, use good posture, no slouching. Sit with back straight, and a curve at your lower back (you can use a lumbar support or a knee chair to achieve this). Keep your neck up and not bent down. You can lean backwards a bit more than 90 degrees (optimal) - not a lot, and never sit leaning forwards - too much stress on the back. SLEEP - When sleeping, you should optimally be in fetal position with a pillow between your legs, to separate the feet and knees. This causes less stress on your back. You can try other great sleeping aids - and you might find yourself sleeping better, as well. More on sleep here. KIDS - Start early with your own kids. Show them proper ways to sit and stand (correct posture), without slouching. Show them how to lift properly, bending the knees and not using the back. Give them proper furniture. LIVING - Wear proper shoes that help with impact and alignment - the proper size. Birkenstocks are great sandals that give comfort to your feet. Nike Air shoes cushion impact from your heels to your back. COMPUTER - Proper ergonomic position of your computer and laptop is essential to avoid problems, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back and neck pain and fatigue, among various other symptoms of discomfort. Use the following guidelines to find a proper ergonomic position for your computer work. See the proper ergonomic positioning of your computer here. Keep the screen at eye level so not to strain your neck and back to look at it. Keep the keyboard at about elbow level (drop your arms and then bend your elbow to show where that should be). Lift the wrist (with a pad of some sort) up a bit to the keyboard level (so your fingers will be pretty much level with the keys and not strain to lift up to the keys). Place your mouse at that same level, within easy reach. COMPUTER MOUSE - To get the best ergonomic position for your computer mouse, you can have it placed either so you need not reach, perhaps on your chair arm, keeping your mouse arm in good optimal position, or you can opt to use a cordless mouse that can be in the best ergonomic position no matter how you are situated. Using your mouse properly may alleviate some strain that tends to cause carpal tunnel syndrome. LAPTOP - Laptop computers are a poor design for comfort. Speaking of ergonomics - they are awful. To adjust the laptop in as comfortable, and as ergonomically correct position, you should use the LapGenie laptop desk. It takes the heat off your lap and puts the laptop in a good working position. Find out more about ergonomic positioning of your laptop. See the LapGenie for the best solution to make your laptop comfortable and proper with ergonomics.

One of them is not a nickle. What are the two coins? The answer is "a 50 cent piece and a nickle" - "one" coin is not a nickle, but the "other" one is. Visit here for MORE Mind Twisters!
