Sometimes I appreciate my alone time and other times I am sick of it. Maybe you could volunteer a couple of hours someplace once a week or so, or find other things to do where there are people around. I know with working at home, sometimes I have to put myself out there to remind people that I still want to socialize!

My sister-in-law and I walk together several times a week. We don't walk on a flat surface
we walk around a park that is constantly up and down so we get a better work-out and it is much more enjoyable to have someone to walk with. I have also joined Curves and really enjoy that.
Statefarm is cancelling lots of people
Have you heard about all the home insurance cancelled by them because of the hurricanes and not paying off like they should? I have always (and I have been driving for 46 years, heard that State Farms was really bad about dropping you and never ever considered going with them. You did not hear that before you took out the insurance? Just like I heard from years ago about the association with breast cancer and hormones and therefore when at surgical menopause in 84 never considered hormone replacement and came to pass now.
Totally agree! Lots of people under 21 drink anyway
so what is the point???? If they were to set a legal age, I think it should be 18.
Yep. Just walk away. Nod a lot, and walk away even if they are in midsentence.
I even do this with my family if they start up. And when I start up myself (in my own mind) I distract myself and get onto doing something completely different. Some people thrive on negativity. I have enough problems getting my mind positive. Life is way too short to dwell on negativity. Just walk away and go smell a rose somewhere. Just my advice. :)
I think once disgust happens, lots of therapy is needed to feel love again. Lots

Lots and lots of SKATING ! - sm
Mostly inline street skating, up & down hills, too. Some roller skating and roller-disco. I was doing ice-skating, but can't afford it anymore, plus I prefer to skate outdoors. It works all muscles, is low-impact, fairly quick to learn compared to other sports, like skiing, is a cheap sport, and excellent for keeping balance & reflexes sharp. Most of the people I skate with look & act 10-20 years younger than their chronological ages.
I MAKE the time to skate. I eat my lunch at my desk, but take a break in the late afternoon before it gets dark, to exercise. This can also include a walk or jog around the neighborhood, bike ride into town to go to the market (cheaper than driving), a fast inline skate around town, or dance practice on a local tennis court. Then I work into the evening for as long as it takes to finish up.
Can anyone walk me through this?
I just got an ipod today and cannot get songs to download. I purchased some songs, and they are downloaded onto my computer, but I can't seem to get them onto my ipod. Could someone please walk me through step-by-step to do this? When I click on file, then copy to device, it tells me no device is detected, even though I have the connection to the computer and to the ipod. Help, please!! 
That's exactly why I won't walk our dog
My husband and I have a golden retriever/lab mix. I am not an animal lover but do have compassion for animals. My husband is the animal lover. If my husband is out of town on business, I will not walk the dog. Just the smell of dog doo makes me gag and vomit. I will, however, let the dog loose in our yard and watch her to make sure she stays in our yard while she exercises, but I will not walk her because I wouldn't be able to clean up any messes.
As for fines, I would imagine there is some sort of punishment in our small town and I think there should be across the board. Our dog is trained to do her business in 1 area of the yard that my husband picks up weekly before mowing the grass. If I find doo anywhere else in my yard, I am not happy. We have 3 kids who like to run and play and know to stay out of the dog's area. Having to clean off their shoes because someone else was lazy with their dog infuriates me.
Way to go NY!!!!! Hope it comes to my hometown soon!
i try to walk more than a mile a day
How much did you walk? Every day? How many miles - sm
I have 60-80 to lose (80 pound weight loss being my HS/college weight) and cannot exercise right now except for walking (hurt my arm/shoulder). Since I cannot go to Curves right now until my shoulder is diagnosed and healed (will know the verdict Friday) I plan on getting into a walking plan right now since the weather has finally turned beautiful and am going to try to walk off at least 20 pounds before my OB/GYN appt in 5 weeks. Since you had so much success in 6 weeks of walking, I'd love to know the how much and how often you walked. TIA.
I walk to her videos too!
I have this one where they sing this "power walk" mantra in the background when it starts out. Then I have that song in my head the whole day! I think I'll just plug in my little MP3 player instead and find tunes that match the different paces, because although I enjoy the video immensely, that "music" has just gotta go! Oh, if you walk to her videos where she uses something called a "stretchy band," I found a 3-pack in varying resistance strengths at Walmart for $5.00. Total deal.
my guess is they take you for a walk!!
what a handful! But cute!
WALK THOSE BEAUTIES! LOL! nm

Autism Walk
Hello everybody,
I'm going to be walking for Walk Now For Autism on Sep. 20th of this year. It is a ways away but since this is such an important subject for me i'm trying to get started as early as i can. If you'd like to check it out, register yourself in a city near you, or donate, you can check out my website on their website:

I appreciate your time,
Tanya
get out of the house and go for a walk
or a bike ride or a picnic. Sometimes I go outside and talk on the phone or watch my kids play. The point is to get out of the house and be outside.
Your choice is to walk through the smoke.
People are made to smoke outside the store, can't smoke inside. Smoking is not against the law. I think people with body odor/bad breath smell way worse than people smoking.
don't have a *choice* to walk through smoke--sm
if you want to get out of or into the store. If someone HAS to smoke...go to your own car where it does not infringe upon someone else's right to not have to breathe it in and contract lung cancer. Body odor and bad breath do not inflict death and are easily taken care of with personal hygiene. Second hand smoke is just plain inconsiderate of others' health, but then why would you care about that. right?
you are not a pain....you need to go to walk-in clinic

Sunday walk in the park
DH and I were walking the dogs in a small park yesterday and a reddish bird swooped in front of us. It was the same color as a thrasher, but since he landed on a nearby tree limb I stopped to check. It was a tiny owl. Apparently an Eastern screech owl. They are common yet rarely noticed, so we thought it was really neat. The dogs never reacted to him at all, and the owl seemed as curious about us as we were about him. Our faces were maybe 4 feet from him.
Do you have any walk-in clinics instead of the ER? SO much quicker to be seen. Is
s
I have been known to jog/walk in place during a TV show.
I'm cheap. The kids stay out of exercise equipment that way too.
Jump ropes rock too.
Just go into one of their stores, cancel and walk out...
why let ANYONE intimidate you?
By trial and error. Lots and LOTS of error!!! -nm

I was going to suggest taking a walk, but jumping around

Some cats walk great on leashes.
Some cats have dog-like personalities, others don't.
Just get a very light leash that they can barely feel and be patient.
Her mother is crazy...I could never walk on someone's grave...
even visiting loved ones in the cemetary you know not to walk over other peoples graves...I was taught that when I was younger---LOL...totally disrespectful...Her mother is just angry that she is buried in the Bahamas and not in Texas....
I walk a trail by my house with my dog a few times

Anyone think Nick is going to walk into his own memorial service?

It started off with a dog in distress, unable to walk
and I had sorta adopted the dog. I cannot bring it home. The friend has taken it in because her son is drugged most of the time. I have small animals and this is a rockweiler (spelling?). i am glad able to assist as far as surgery- I would have done this for an animal anytime, anywhere, I have the money and thus I helped out. Animals are my heart but I have just gotten to where I want the son now to buy his own doggie medicine. The animal is not sick, an older dog, not ready to be put down and like I said, my animals small inside ones so no place to keep a dog around here. I had suggested they put the dog up for adoption also.
Blah day I wanna take babies for a walk (pic)

Walk those beautiful pups, the best antidote
to a very depressing, blah day.
Gorgeous night walk in the snow.....
Walked the dog last night around 8 pm. There are about 12" of snow on the ground, covering the pines, the roof tops, and blanketing the side street where I live. It was breath-taking, which might have been due to it being 23 degrees, but more so because the sky was inky black with a few clouds here and there, and the stars were so bright. The tress without their leaves were silver, contrasting against the black sky, stars twinkling through their branches. The pines were still bent with the weight of snow and snow-covered Christmas lights on the trees glowed dimly. My footsteps crunching on the packed snow was the only sound heard, with the occasional snorting pig imitation my moronic dog does when snow gets up her nose from sniffing too strongly.
I hate having to dress like Nanook of the North and looking like the Michelin Tire Man, but walks in the night like that make me forget about the insanity I endure M-F, at least for a little while.
Technically it is still fall, this is Maine, so I might have a different take on the snow come March.
And start taking 1/2 hour walk every
day and build on it -- adding another 1/2 hour walk or making it 1 hour. Do something for youself every day. Get up, get showered and fix your hair before starting your job. You'll be amazed how much better that can make someone feel.
our kids have a 2 minute walk from school and
they have already been heckled by meaner kids, they even threw a beer bottle at my 5 year old. I stood behind a fence one day and stepped out in front of him just as he was rounding the corner and told him that if he ever even so much as talked to my kids again I would follow him home and tell his parents exactly what was going on. I told him that I would also talk to the principal, who I know on a first-name basis as i am VP of the PTO. I put the fear of God in that child but I still do not trust him or his little band of siblings he walks with. I almost fear other children more than I do strangers!
A Walk to Remember and Flight 93, but for different reasons

Treadmill 2 hrs a day. I use a portable DVD player and walk to a movie each day. nm

Walk along the pier in the evening, antique shopping,

Agree with losing tail. An old cat just tends to walk around, not much jumping or

We must walk in love and peace every single day of our lives. sm
We never, ever know when we will be tempted to be rude or get angry. If you don't purpose to love others and count others "better than yourself," then you will fall into this kind of behavior. I never want to live like that. I desperately want people to remember for good deeds and love. I know a few people personally in my life right now who wouldn't be missed a second if something were to happen to them. Sad, sad, sad.
15 years, no weight gain, I walk a lot, fast.

Exercise, take a walk, jumping jacks, crack your window, do something

water for a long long ways and water is clean and beautiful. Can't remember the name, but it's about a 3-hour drive from San Antonio. I'll see if I can locate it. They go there all the time. nm
fast walk/weight lift/exercise machine only way to tone

you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.
I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case. Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior. Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!! Thank you for the kind comments. To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge. You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.
I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.
For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)
Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
The same with lots of ice....
Cranberry juice and vodka over lots of ice is always my drink of choice...CHEERS!!!
Me, too. I need lots of help.
I've got 1 room that turned into a storage room and every week I tell myself I have to get in there and straighten it out. I open the door, look around and close the door, and find something else to do.
I don't have any closets in my house and it drives me nuts. No place to hang coats, etc. when coming in from outside. They get slung over the chair that nobody sits in by the door.
We have 2 sheds and a 1 car 'tent' garage. Hubby keeps half his stuff in the tent garage and shed, I keep some of my stuff in the shed and mom's stuff is in the other shed. The first shed was built when we were moving from the old house, needed some place to go with it until we got in the new place, but it's still there!!!! I can't get to it because of hubby's snow blower and other quipment. I probably have some antiques in there by now. 
Mom died 7 years ago and I still haven't looked to see what's in her shed. I just don't have time.
I love to be organized, but when I organized my home the last time, I couldn't find anything!!!
