stargirl3:16 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Don't worry flowery, I too am guilty of carrying a heavy backpack. It's a wonder that I'm not walking crooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicke Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I was in the Army. We had to carry a 70+ lbs. rucksack 11 miles at a time, not to mention the M-16 and all the gear attached to the utility belt. Get over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom25angels Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Poor thing......too bad you can't homeschool college. Wait, maybe, online degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Huether Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Yup. It's too heavy. Shoot, I never weighed my backpack in college, but it was bordering on like at least 30 or so lbs. I mean, I was a weight lifter, and I could barely curl the darn thing. I thought for sure I'd have sculiosis (sp?) by the time I was through with school. Hope your load gets lighter.

Lil Red Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 you really shouldn't carry around that much weight. you don't know what effect it will have on your future health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrite Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I'd be careful. I carried around small children and heavy backpacks when I was in middle/highschool; and I ended up getting scoliosis (sp?) out of it. I'm 22 years old and I stand crooked (it's too painful to stand up straight). My back hurts a lot (especially when the weather changes), and everynow and then I get severe shooting pains up my back, or I'll loose circulation in my hands or whatnot. I slouch and I can't help it, and people think I'm a slacker or whatever based on my posture. I'd opt for a UHAUL, a wheel-y backpack, or perhaps a wheelbarrow. Is there any way you could break up your load, perhaps? When I have to carry massive loads of books nowadays, I leave half at my workplace (it's in the center of campus - very convienent instead of running across campus all over the place).

PedroX Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 If you were really the Queen, you'd hire someone to carry it around for you. Long live the Queen! peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
