While striving to be as fat as I can be and then writing about it here on my homepage, I have now jeopardized my ability to type at all. Oh the irony! I have rendered myself so fat as to be unable to reach the top row of my keyboard. I can stretch my little arms all I want, I can lean against the computer table until a solid groove is cut into my wide girth, but I simply can not reach any of the number keys or the letters Q through P (and those bracket thingies). (I can&#8217;t reach the function keys either, but nobody uses those.)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; As a reference, here is a list of the letters I will be limited to in all future posts:<center><font face=\"courier new, courier, serif\" size=\"4\">A S D F G H J K L<br>Z X C V B N M<\/font><\/center>&nbsp; &nbsp; I am able to access most of the important punctuation marks, fortunately.  Sadly, that e-mail &#8220;at&#8221; symbol is a lost cause. I can still send mail, I suppose, provided someone writes me first.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; I hope all this will not be an inconvenience.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; <b>Update<\/b>: Reader <b>T.K.<\/b> of Northville helpfully points out I can rest the keyboard right on my stomach itself. This does indeed work a lot better, but my man-boobs keep hitting the CTRL and Shift keys. I&#8217;ve accidentally rebooted my computer three times just trying to edit that last sentence. &nbsp; <b>[6:20 PM]<\/b><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; <b>Update update<\/b>:<center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wastinaway.net\/shortfatguy\/images\/bellykeys.jpg?resize=176%2C144&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"176\" height=\"144\" alt=\"Me, typing\"><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; My dedication to this website has backfired on me.
