I Battle Inertia

Me and Sir Isaac are intimately acquainted:

"My body in motion tends to remain in motion, and my body at rest, mostly certainly, wants to remain at rest."

Ugh. 😖 it's kinda like what wearing a shopping cart must be like, isn't it?

@doodlebug2013 Yes, but without those annoying squeaks--so, there is that.

@veeceekay1991 is a shopping cart hyperbolic or a real comparison in weight? if so I'm stunned...

veeceekay1991 · 31-35, F

@t1mberlands I'm not sure how much a shopping cart weighs. You'd need to ask doodlebug since it's her metaphor. It's a hefty, although variable, weight regardless.

@veeceekay1991 come to think of it neither do I, but more than I'd like to carry I imagine. Much respect to anyone dealing with even a fraction of that

It's not REALLY that bad so it's hyperbole, but I meant it in the sense of it works kinda the same way as if you've got a shopping cart of stuff and you want to turn, it wants to keep going how you were going and you've got to make some more effort to turn it than you would without pushing one. Same with getting it going and stopping it. You know, inertia.

@doodlebug2013 Yes, sometimes a loaded shopping cart will resist where you want it to go and stubbornly chart its own course. That is definitely what it can be like to have really large breasts.

@doodlebug2013 I see what you mean, they have a momentum of their own at that size. No sudden movements I suppose
