Want to be bothered less by strangers while waiting for your doc to call your name? Want more privacy while killing time watching porn writing a text message in the patient waiting area? Then Private Public may be just the bit of gear for you.
I just can't wait to see this implemented as another part of HIPAA. Protect patient confidentiality AND be able to make rude funny gestures at your doc while he's doing so. Brilliant!
Amazon Grocery is the new gimpy alternative to traveling to the grocery store. Although they do not as yet offer perishable goods, they do have tons of products that I love.
My fave groceries delivered right to my door? Ahhh...gimpy heaven!
I am beginning to be a little afraid for our rosy cheeked, vertically challenged friends. As if a game of hitting gnomes over the head were not bad enough now there is the addition of these frightening little Gnome-Be-Gone creatures!
A case of Gnomism? A conspiracy against those of us of short stature and a cheery disposition? Perhaps we should offer to join forces and become an even greater force for CWD.

Hmmmm........with some of the extreme chairing I've seen lately perhaps this technology should be added to some of the wheelchairs, powerchairs and mobility scooters on the market.

Jealous. O.k., at first I considered putting Mumpy's face in there but well.....he's a dude and Mumpy's not. The Portable Sauna is an awesome piece of Gimp Gear. You don't have to go to the sauna, the sauna comes to you!
