Are you eating right now? Do you usually eat in front of a computer? What do you eat? Right now, I must admit, I'm eating chips and salsa. I usually try to eat fruit in front of the computer, like an apple or some grapes. Salsa is kind of like a vegetable... right? I mean, it's just tomatoes and peppers.

I really try not to eat in front of the computer and I told myself when I got this new one that I wouldn't. Guess how well that worked out? I eat in front of my computer all of the time! You have inspired me to stop again though. Thanks for the reminder!

No I normally don't eat while on the computer. If I do I know I will just eat and eat and eat. And I don't want to end up huge so I stay away from eating while on the computer =)

Yeah, I eat in front of the computer and anybody can tell!!!! My laptop is so messy. I really shouldn't eat in front of it, but hell, if I'm gonna be sitting, I may as well be multi-tasking.

YOu caught me LOL Well, I"m actually drinking a strawberry milkshake right now, not eating, but I do eat in front of the computer sometimes.
Not too often because I really enjoy sitting down to eat and concentrate on each food, each flavour. But sometimes if I'm in a hurry doing something I do eat in front of the computer.
MY keyboard is not too bad, but every once in a while I do flip it over and give it a good smack just in case :)

I some time eat cookies while I'm in front of the computer. Is nice to eat a snack while going on the internet. The only problem is the mess I leave next to the computer. I have to clean it all after shout down the computer.

I'm imagining Roger Rabbit nibbling on some cookies right now, lol! I almost never shut down my PC as I'm on it all the time anyway, so the mess just collects for a few days.

I eat in front of my computer all the time. Right now, it's cheese sticks.
I know it's rude, but my computer doesn't seem to get too awful jealous. After all, it gets the crumbs! ;)

LOL! You are right. I wish my keyboard really did "eat" all the crumbs, I just find them on the floor and my lap. :)

Yes, I often do, but not at this moment. Lately, I've been eating the bigger dishes away from the computer. I don't want to make a mess on my keyboard. Usually, I drink my tea while typing. I also drink soda, but I have to be real careful. One time, I accidentally knocked over a can and it spilled over my computer. I had to open it up and clean it out. Luckily, most of it stayed on the cover. A few drops got on the bottom of the case.

EEK! I've **luckily** avoided a soda-keyboard confrontation. But I do have mustard on the number pad somehow.

Yes I am guilty, I am eating peanuts right now. I can hold a sandwich and type at the same time.

I do, Accasionally when i am very busy with my work. I will eat in front of the computer and work at the same time because i can't afford to waste any time making money.

I always eat in front of my compuuter, especially morning tea & lunch. My husband & children hate it. There are always bits and pieces dropped on the keyboard & even spillages.
I would eat biscuits or fruit for moring tea. For lunch I would have a toasted sandwich or soup.
It gets hard to eat some foods whilst I am typing.

Yes I eat in front of my computer all the time, but I try not to make a mess, and usually I don't make a mess. What does make a mess is cigg ashes.

i am now very hungry so will be eating soon and yes sorry my little comp but it will be here. my comp isnt too bad as i have no cup space. although if i have eaten something like a mango and touched the keys - well you know they are a little sticky at times. at work i did once knock a smoothie over and it went out like a light and i had to buy a new one. i do try to be more careful now:)
