Anna Nichole's mother did not just put dirt or whatever on the grave, she
actually WALKED over the top of the grave. I was shocked because where I live so disrespectful, had never ever seen this done before. I am southern and her mother also lives in the south. Just not done in my neck of the woods. Even after burial, I always try to go around marked graves, never treading on them if I can at all keep from doing so.
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.
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. :)
Does anyone know where to look for poems or sayings to put on a grave stone? sm
Unfortunately, my brother and I have to go pick one out for our mother and I would like to find a nice poem or saying about mothers to put on it. Anyone with any ideas?
Poems or Sayings on Grave Stones
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my mother 16 years ago when I was only 19, and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through in life. This web site has many varieties:

Good luck with finding what you are looking for and always try to focus on remembering the good times you had with your mother.

My 13 y.o. niece has just been dx with Grave's disease. Does anyone here have any info or sm
advice on what I can tell my brother about this? They are such a precious family. Brother visibly upset over this because he has been disciplining her for behavioral problems, etc., when all along it's been here thyroid. They want to do radiation right away to help shrink it? Or possibly remove thyroid altogether. She is so pretty. I spent the summer with them and yes, she did act diff. from other 13 year olds, looked very developed for her age (to me), and her eyes weren't bulging to me. I'm so glad they caught it today. It sounded like she was in the early stages of shock with fever, shakiness, etc.
Anyone with experience in this? Thank you so much.
It isn't uncommon for the loved ones to throw some dirt on the grave. sm
I didn't see it though so am not sure if this is the type of thing you are talking about or not. In my husband's family the men actually stay and cover the grave using shovels, but it is a different culture than what we are used to in the US, he and his father covered his grandfather's grave and my husband covered our son's grave. Not sure about 'walking' on the grave though... that seems disrespectful... but again, I didn't see so don't know.
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:
http://www.walknowforautism.org/minneapolis/team/teamderrian
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?
I was going to suggest taking a walk, but jumping around
aa
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.
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)
These are my babies and they really wanna go out and play but mommy has to work :(

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.
Go for a walk someplace where there are lots of people (sm)
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!
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

I thought Nick would walk in - guess we have to wait

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

Whatever my mother-in-law and mother are cooking--lol
we go to my in-laws for Christmas Eve and usually have ham and kielbasa (we are Polish) and then my mom usually has turkey or roasted chicken on Christmas Day
Forget what Texas beach bro. visits, but at low tide he says you walk out in knee-hi ...sm
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

Tell me if I am crazy
 There is a man (very good looking I might add) who goes to our church. He is newly single, having been divorced about 3 months. I am single, having been divorced about 4 years. We have known each other since I was about 14 or so. He is about 11 years older than me, which is not a problem (for me anyway) We have a lot in common, having both been single parents, both of us raising only 1 child, boys. I REALLY like him. He is smart, funny and just an all around good guy. He is not perfect, I know that. But he has had some ATROCIOUS luck with women. Ditto me with guys. He has come to church off and on, not steady but from all apperances he is back to stay now.
Question: should I let myself like him? I am kinda shy, and lord knows that I am not Miss Teen USA but I think I am a pretty nice person. He is pretty flirty towards me (in a NICE way) but I am scared that I will run him off if I flirt back but at the same time, I don't want him to think I am a snob.
I have had him fix my computer (he is a computer whiz) and I baked him a cherry pie and that went well. I need all the advice that I can get (prayer would not go amiss either!)
crazy... I would have given her the man I have for nothing
:)
crazy
That is crazy. Any realtor would have NEVER given them the keys until closing!! You have a good case against them. I would definitely call the office and complain to his boss. What happens if they don't show up at closing. You are out whatever they ripped up. WOW!
That's just crazy.
They will be adults some day and never forget how immature he was when they needed him to be a calm leader.
That's crazy!
I would write a letter to the bank and cancel my account with them. That is wrong that they cashed a voided check. Can't fault Wal-Mart for wanting their money, but the bank should be paying that $40, not you! Not saying its right, but the other place probably doesn't look at the mail-in checks very closely but just send them through to the bank. Bottom line, the bank should have caught that.
