Got caught sniffing girl co-workers shoes. Very Embarrassed.?
I work for a pizza restaurant part-time where they where a uniform. Usually, most of the girls come in with their uniform and shoes in a plastic bag and get changed when they come to work. Their is a particular younger girl I work with that I think is very pretty. She came in the other day on her day off and she was wearing sandals and has really cute feet.
They next day she came in wearing kind of converse low-cut sneakers without socks. She got changed in the bathroom, putting on socks and different shoes, then left her bag in the back store room. I went back there and took out one of her shoes from the bag and sniffed inside it. At the same time, she was returning to her bag for something and caught me. She kinda just stood there and didn't say anything. I put the shoe down and walked passed her out of the room.
We haven't spoke to one another since. I want to appologize but I mean, how do you bring somehting like that up and what do you say?
No Judging please.

This is with out a doubt the funniest one I've run across yet ,,,, I'll give you a star for this one ,,,,
There's several ways you can approach this to apologize or atone for your behavior ,,,, You might go up to her and tell her you are so infatuated with her and you couldn't help yourself and depending on how she takes it ask her if she has any used socks you could take home with you ,,,, Or you could use the serious and contrite method ,,,, Just go up to her and seriously apologize to her for your indiscretion ,,,, Or if there were no witnesses to this event then just totally deny it and claim that she's just doing some wishful thinking ,,,, If there were no witnesses to this then it's your word against hers and then just go on as if nothing has happened ,,,, After all the only ones that really know the truth is you and her lolol ,,,, Or you could just claim that you smelled something funny and you were looking for the source ,,,, lol
Just use your imagination and think about which scenario you think will work if the need arrises ,,,,If there were no witnesses then I think you should just go on about your business as usual and if you do hear something about it or if some one says anything then just act surprised and flat deny it ,,,, Like I said earlier no one but you and her know the truth and it would be your word against hers ,,,, If things got a little uncomfortable you might even think about turning her in first for spreading rumors about you before she says anything to the boss lol ,,,, Your submitting a complaint like that before she does would probably give you sway so to speak if it ever went upstairs ,,,, lol
Reply:Change your name. Move away. Try to get into the witness protection. Most of all you should get some counseling. Im not judging you when I say that but you should do that
Reply:Go up to her in private and apologize for going into her stuff. Leave it at that.
And stop indulging your fetish at work. There are plenty of people who like foot worship, but I doubt they work with you.
Reply:oh wow that is AKWARD, i think it would be best if u brought it up %26amp; made a joke out of it, she might even respect u for being so funny %26amp; confident
Reply:I would just walk up to the girl and say sorry about the other day and maybe attempt to explain what and why you were doing what you were doing. I am not judging you or anything but this girl probably thinks you are strange and you may want to just leave her alone now.
Reply:People do crazy things sometimes, eh? *wink* I guess you figured that out the hard way, didn't you?
Don't make any excuses for yourself. Be honest. Walk up to her, say hello, and then sincerely say, "I am very sorry about the way I acted yesterday and I will not do it again." After that, just do not bring up the topic again.
Reply:Quicky, very fast, do some kind of apology to keep her from telling the Boss and getting you Fired from that Job.
Reply:Um. I think you should just leave her alone. She proabably thinks you're a bit odd now.. Im not judging you or anything, but from a girls view; i'd think that the person was a pervert.. Which im not saying you are. But if you go up to her and bring up the subject again, she's going to freak. Let her forget about it. And never do it again. XD

Free & budget friendly things to do & see in Las Vegas?
We will be going to Vegas in mid-late April, kinda on shoe string budget (We're going as part of an international car club convention), we're driving over a 1,000 to get there. Anyway, since we're spending all this money to go %26amp; from what I've read %26amp; am learning, Vegas isn't much of a budget friendly vacation destination as it used to be.
So, what free or low cost things did you do there or that you know of? I really want to try to make the best of my time (going to be there 4 days %26amp; 3 nights) %26amp; hard earned money.
Thanks!
Free %26amp; budget friendly things to do %26amp; see in Las Vegas?
Well I've been to Las Vegas 5 times, and only one of those times was when I was old enough to gamble (21). Im from Philly so going to Vegas was a big deal but I am now only 22 and have naturally had to do things that were free/ low budget.
First off, Vegas is a pedestrian city and is amazing because you can do so much for free. Theres 2 parts to Vegas, Downtown (old vegas) and the strip which is about 4 miles long and has all the mammoth resorts on it. If budget is an issue, I would stay at the Flamingo Hotel. For about 100 bucks a night you get a 4 star hotel (its also the first casino in vegas) and its right in the center of the strip.
Every casino has a theme or sytle and the way they compete to get vistors is by having exciting shows (im not talking about like seeing Wayne newton or Celine Dion... because those sure do cost lots of money) but every casino/ hotel has a show. If you have seen the Ocean 11 movie, they stand out side the Bellagio hotel and watch the fountain show. Its incredible, a 1/4 mile long man made lake with 2,000 individual jets that spray illuminated water in syncronized dance up to 20 stories high.
Then theres the Volcano at the Mirage and the Pirate battle (2 large ships actually have a cannon fight and theres real fire and one of the ships litterally sinks).
Vegas is like the adult disney land and when ever I go there, I usually hit up the buffets (world class all you can eat food for like 20 bucks... its great) but the rest of the time I am buddies would just literally go sight seeing to see all of the casinos (and trust me you can't visit and explore all of the casinos if you had a week).
vegas.com has all the essential info including maps and stuff.
While most of the fun stuff is on the strip, be sure to try and make it down town. Theres a 3 block strip called the Freemont Exerpeince which is a covered sidewalk that has a rough 5 stories above you that is lit up with i think 9 million lights and every like 15 min after dark, the entire ceiling lights up with music and movies and stuff; very cool. Its got like 9 million watts of sound and makes for cool times.
Vegas is the coolest place on earth to be a pedestrian tourist and seeing the themes and shops of each casino is more than enough to keep ya busy.
If you have any detailed questions, feel free to message me!
Have fun! (Im moving to LA this summer and you can be sure Ill be making a pit stop in Vegas for atleast the night)
Reply:First think that the first day is traveling and checking in, etc. So just wander around the casino area. The second and third day are the days for doing things. You will be leaving the fourth day.
Go to www.lasvegasnow.com which is Channel 8's web site for locals and visitors with a huge list of things to do. Also try www.vegas4locals.com.
The old car exhibit at Imperial Palace is free; you usually can get the passes at the front of the hotel or at the players club.
The lion exhibit at MGM Grand is small but free.
Walk the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace which has two free come-alive statute shows.
Enjoy the shops at the Venetian because they have some great free entertainment. And make sure you see the ceilng at the entrance.
Adventure Dome at Circus Circus is reason and a great deal of fun.
And as far as shows go, I would recommend the dinner Joust show at Excalibur, Cirque show Mystere at Treasure Island (a local favorite and the cheapest and ALL seats regardless of price are good).
If you want to enjoy the local scene, then take the loop ride at Red Rock Canyon (west of city) for a small fee. See Hoover Dam and the visitor center and for a small fee take a tour of the dam.
So much so little time.

Reply:The above answers are mostly good.
However, I did want to add this.
The prices in Vegas ARE expensive now compared to how they were just 10 years ago and horrendous compared to 15 to 20 years ago. The people who have just gone to Vegas for the first time in say the past 5 years do not know that that $10 buffet breakfast was only $3. to $4. 10 years ago, and 0nly $1.99 back 15 years or more, So that would be in the 1990's. That huge dinner buffet that is now $20 to $25 ($35 at Wynn) was just 10 years or so ago $12 to $15, and 15 years ago it was only $7 or $8.
In addition, the hotel coffee shops prices for breakfast, lunch and dinner have skyrocketed in the same manner. AND, many of the big hotels on the Strip now have several "high end" specialty restaurants where the menu's don't have prices on them. OH, they are very very nice places but my point is many years ago you could really eat cheap and most hotels had just one high end restaurant if any. I can remember the time not too long ago when you could eat all day, lets say breakfast and dinner buffets, for about $10 a day.
So now when I go I like to hit the cuopon books when I first get there and see if they have any decent deals. Also, I always rent a car and in thsi case you'll have a car so its much easier to get around to find cheaper eats.
Then there is the Hotels. I stayed at the MGM Grand for $69 on the last friday night in May of 1998. Now I know that was 10 years ago. However, the price for the same friday night this year?? $213. Same size room, and same hotel. More than 3 times the price. Inflation? Yes, but more like the realization by Vegas that they could charge more and people would still come. Furthermore by charging more it would keep the lower less profitable people away and bring in a higher cliental.
Also in March of 2003 I stayed at the Beliagio on St. Patrick's Day for $109. This year rate. $199. 5 years later (same day of week) its almost double in price!.
You should plan on bringing at least $300 a day. I know this sounds like a lot, but if you add in food and lodinging into this cost that will only leave you with $200 a day. Things on the strip are marked up from what you would normally spend on it. You may say your going to skip the strip... well if its your first and/or your only time to Vegas... you not skipping the strip.
I personally love downtown and the prices are lower there.
The good shows are at least $80 a ticket and if you go to Cirque du Soleil it's over $100 a ticket. ( I highly recommend the Danny Gans show at Mirage) Figure $100 or more (depending on wine) for an expensive dinner, $50 for an average breakfast + lunch. Spas on the strip are at least $150 depending on what you want done. If you want a full spa treatment, thats $350-500 right there. If you're gambling at all, you're going to want to have extra money in your pocket
I hope I'm not scaring you, but I've averaged 2-3 Vegas trips a year for the last 12 years or so. Prices in Vegas are ridiculously high, so you should just get it into your head that you will pay more for things there then you would back home. $7+ beers and $12+ sandwiches are pretty much the norm, especially on the strip. In Vegas you get what you pay for. If you want a good meal, show, spa etc. you have to be prepared to pay for it.
Take more money than you think you would ever spend. $500 a day is on the high side without shopping, but trust me, Vegas is one place you want to have some extra money. The worst thing would be to run out of money on your third day. I've done that and it's miserable to be in Vegas without any money. Trust me, Vegas is fun, but it can also be the worst place to be if you don't have enough money.
Reply:You will never be bored in Las Vegas. Not only is it affordable, and very luxurious but full of activities. You don't have to gamble or have a lot of money to have a great time.

Reply:We always plan our Vegas trips on a budget. I will be visiting for my third time in three weeks, It's my boyfriend's 14th time or something crazy like that.
First of all- hotel. If you don't already have one because of the convention, I would recommend Excalibur. If you watch their rates, they go as low as $51/night, which is cheaper than most places you can stay in my home town (louisville, ky). It is a beautiful castle/ medieval theme and it's just your basic hotel room on the inside. You can get an upgrade to a view room or a Plasma TV room for an extra $10/night.
Attractions- There are so many free attractions in Vegas, and that is usually what we rely on. This year we are taking the kids so we are going all out, but usually we spend most of our time walking down the strip looking at the hotels. I love the different themes. Below is a great list of free attractions in Vegas. I don't know if you are planning on spending any time gambling, but that is the best way to get free drinks. If you don't have a lot of money for that, take a $5 bill and sit down at the nickel video poker games. $5 can last you hours and a cocktail waitress is sure to come by asking if you want a drink many times. Just be sure to have $1 or so to tip her with. Keep in mind, if you buy the same drink at the bar, it is around $8. I know the Excalibur waitresses are always around the video poker machines. A couple of years ago we went to nickeltown by Riviera to gamble and I entered my name in a drawing they were doing like every 20 minutes. I ended up quickly winning 2 free show tickets to Splash! at the Riviera. So after we were done playing, we went and saw the show completely free. And it was very entertaining. I don't think nickeltown is there anymore, though. They also hand out free show tickets to Mac King at Harrahs sometimes when you are walking by.
Also keep an eye out on ebay before you go, I have found some great coupons that I basically only pay shipping on that will save us $20-$40 or sometimes more.
When you get there, try to pick up all of the magazines and funbooks from each of the hotels that you can. They have great money-saving coupons like $5 off buffets or free buffets, etc. You can also take a look at Las Vegas Advisor's Pocketbook of Values (link below) It costs $37, but sometimes you can find it on ebay for less, and it has tons of great coupons.
Good luck! And don't worry, you will have fun even with no money.

Making a white trench coat brown?
I've been trying to turn a white/cream trench coat i have brown all week but nothing works. I tried dye but it wouldn't take to parts of the coat as it's partly waterproof. Then i tried shoe polish but it just rubbed off. I was thinking of trying spray paint but i thought i should ask you guys first. It's for a superhero dress up party (i'm going as Gambit from x-men) and i only need to wear it once, so don't worry about washing it.
Making a white trench coat brown?

Dyeing shoes, and their soles?
ive just bought a pair of cream leather boots off ebay which i intend to dye black or dark brown. im planning to use a Dylon 'shoe and accessories colour'. my problem is that the pale boots have pale soles. they are made of what is called 'crepe' i think with a wooden wedge. (They are Destroy boots, for anyone who is familiar with this brand). Is there anything i can use to darken the soles, i guess i could use a woodstain on the wooden part, my concern is the rubber/plastic part. black boots with cream soles will look a bit odd!
Dyeing shoes, and their soles?
The crepe soles will absorb the dye, but they will not hold onto the dye and you'll be leaving little black bootprints everywhere. Don't worry about the light colour, the only colour real crepe comes in is pale cream. You can use a bit of your stain on the sides of the soles, which is done in shoe factories, but not on the part that makes contact with the floor. Your other choice is a permanent marker such a a sharpie which will last a while. But it won't be much of an issue for long, with age and wearing the crepe will darken naturally and they won't be pale colour after a few weeks. Oh yes, and lightly sand the wood before staining so the wood absorbs the stain. Trust me, I'm staining some wooden chairs and I could have saved myself a whole bunch of frustration!
Reply:If you're going to dye the soles of your shoes, remind me NOT to invite you round here to walk on my carpets ! ! !
Reply:Don't worry about the soles. Traditionally, black shoes almost always had lighter soles. Why, right now I'm wearing a pair of black shoes with brown soles. Don't dye the soles - I've tried this myself and it didn't work. It definitely won't work if they're not leather too.
Reply:Why did you not just wait until a black or dark brown pair came up for sale. Good choice of shoe BTW I like buffalo shoes they are mint.

I need brake pads and shoes for citreon saxo desire 1.1 2000?
I have a citreon saxo Desire 1.1 year 2000 i need to replace the brake pads and shoes i can't afford to take it to a garage so buying the parts myself.except no-one seems to no wat size pads i need an wat diameter the shoes are.can anyone help?"
I need brake pads and shoes for citreon saxo desire 1.1 2000?
theres 2 types...bendix and girling...your looking at about £25-30 for the lot..a car shop can tell by looking at the front calipers what type they are..if they cant there lying and dont deserve your cash...a back street garage[like me] would chatrge about £40 labour...hope this helps
Reply:Eh? you really don't want to be changing shoes if you don't know what you're doing
Reply:hi there, the simplest way of knowing what size the drums are on the back, just take the back wheel off and you'll see the measurements of the drums - on the drums face, the easiest way of telling you which braking system you have is to open your bonnet and where the brake fluid reservoir is it will either say Bendix or girling, hope this helps,
Reply:Try halfords, just tell them the car you have and they will tell you the info you need and they sell them aswell.
Reply:Try looking for Brake Specialist firms, like EKS for instance, and asking them. If you don't know what you are doing I'd suggest you get someone you know who does to do the job for you. Messing about with brakes when you don't know what you're donig can leave your car a LETHAL WEAPON on the road. If you're still not sure about this go to Halfords or similar store and look in the parts catalogues. Also don't forget to change all pads and shoes otherwise you'll upset the braking system balance and that will cause you worse problems!
Reply:You'll have to take the rear drum off and measure the shoe, or buy both sets and return the one that doesnt work

Brand new shoes have no grip & are dangerous on tiles - any solutions?
I brought some gorgeous new high heeled shoes to wear to work, but the shop I bought them in was all carpeted so I didnt realise they had no grip underneath... I went to wear them on Monday and when I stepped onto tiles I was slipping all over the place. The heel is fine its just the front part that slides. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Can you buy stick on grip for underneath the shoe? Please help - I dont want to return the shoes.
Brand new shoes have no grip %26amp; are dangerous on tiles - any solutions?
I recommend sole pads made by Sure Tred - they're safe to use on dress shoes, protect against slipping on carpets, tile, AND wet/icy surface, and don't leave marks on tile or wooden floors. You can also check out Foot Aid and Shine Rite brands.
Check your local shoe store (Off Broadway, Payless, Shoe Carnival) or the foot aisle at your local pharmacy.

Reply:I always get some coarse sand paper and sand the bottom a little. It takes away that smooth surface and makes the sole have a little bit of traction. You can also take them out on a rough concrete sidewalk and rub the bottoms good.
Reply:Duct tape the bottom of your shoe and then you should not slip when wearing it...
Reply:Sure do! Even if they are $250 plus heels, you have too!! Take a piece of sandpaper and rough up the bottom. This one works! I wear heels daily to the office on a marble floor. This one is a trick from my grandmother! It really works! Good Luck!!
Reply:You could maybe scrape the bottoms with sandpaper?
Reply:score the bottom with a really shape knife... that's what I do
Reply:either score the bottoms or use 2 sided tape (but it will wear off)
Reply:try some sandpaper on the bottoms.

Ways to remove jean stains from your shoes?
It never fails... Everytime I purchase a new pair of shoes my jeans rub off on them and essentially dye the white parts blue.I always wash my jeans prior to wearing them for the first time, so it has nothing to do with wearing a brand new pair. It happens regardless of the jean style as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't buy shoes with white parts then.
Honestly I've never had this happen to me before, and I only wear white sneakers. I always wash the jeans first in tide and dry them and they are good to go.
I wonder if maybe your pants are still a bit damp and that's why its happening? If its happening to your shoes does it happen to your underwear too?
Reply:THIS HAPPENS TOO ME TOO OFTEN WITH BRAND NEW SHOES. I WOULD SUGGEST U WIPE THE STAIN OFF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH A DAMP CLOTH (JUST WATER NO CHEMICALS OR SOAP) OTHERWISE THE STAIN SETS IN. AS FOR THE LACES JUST WASH THEM!
Reply:the same thing happened to my friend she said she used the tide to go stuff and the stain came right off
Reply:i use tide....
just grab an old toothbrush grab a water bottle put some tide in the bottle put the toothbrush in the bottle shake it up and clean your shoes....
it works
Reply:what kind of jeans are you getting ...lol.. that never ever happen to me... well, i would try to get some carpet cleaner if its cloth shoes and if its leather just get some white shoe polish

Do your shoes pinch?
Being in the Entertainment buissness (part time) I find it very hard to find a large size/wide fit court shoe or diamante slingback that is a comfortable fit.
I find the pairs that I take a hankering too are usually of a narrower fit/design, however such is the high profile of my job that I find myself sqeezing into these shoes and causing damage to my feet (gotta look good for my audience girls, you know how it is).
So if there is anyone out there who knows where I can get a pair of slingbacks/wide fit/size13/diamantes?
Please let me know as this drag queen job is a gas! and the only other work I know is seasonal in Canada.

Which shoes do you like better?
I like both shoes. With the wedge shoe, I like the wedge, but I don't know how I feel about how the toe looks and I kind of wish the wedge was a little higher at the toe.
The other pair, I like how high the wedge part is at the toe and I like the toe, but I just wish it had a wedge...
Which shoe do you think looks better? I will be getting them in black and wearing them mainly with jeans. Thanks

Reply:i like the wedge theyre a lot cuter than the other ones and would look fabulous with jeans or like with white shorts with like a cute tank top and denim jacket from like abercrombie, it sounds like kinda weird but trust me its really cute!!
the second shoes are a little like wizard of oz except like with a heel and not sequiny, but i agree with you, i love the toe

Reply:The first one since black can go better for any occasion than the gold would (unless you can get the 2nd in a different shade...that would be nice). I think both would look flirty, fun, dressy, figure enhancing and much more! The 1st is a lot nicer though for the reason above. I also think the 1st one looks like it might provide better comfort and support.
Reply:i like the second one. it will look good with jeans, skirts, dresses. i like them.
Reply:The first one. Wedge shoes are much more comfortable and go better with jeans. They also go with simple, sleek knee-length dresses in solid colors.
Reply:I like #1 better.
Gold will be too dressy if you are aiming for the casual look.
Reply:They second ones are beautiful ! ! !
Reply:I like the second ones better because they're cute. They would look great with dark jeans and a gold belt.

What could be the problem with my Brakes (2000 Starex (4X4))?
Background: I bought the Starex while it was in a shop where it had been undergoing extensive repairs for several months. The brakes shoes and pads had been replaced as part of these repairs. The brakes are not ABS (per. EDSA Hyundai) Not the shop in question.
When I test drove the van, I noticed that the brakes required a greater distance than normal to come to a complete stop. And that more brake peddle pressure than normal was required.
After having the brakes cleaned did not improve the braking, the head technician assured me that the hydro vacuum unit was not working. I had it replaced, But, it had no effect.
The master brake cylinder was then rebuilt. When this had no effect, It also was replaced. This as well, did not improve the braking performance.
I was charged PHP 16,000 for parts plus more for labor and the problem was not resolved. Needless to say, I have no confidence that this shop (Wind Tech, Legazpi City) has any idea how to correct the problem.

check for pinched brake lines... if the vehicle has been undergoing repairs for several months, i'm going to assume it was due to a collision. i would like to think that the calipers were closely inspected when the brakes were done, but stranger things have happened. the calipers may have failed and not been noticed, or worse... the technician may have incorrectly installed them or damaged them. worth taking a look!

I dont know of that van or your language but I can tell you the friction material is crucial, meaning the pads. I would have said they pushed the calipers back without opening the bleeder but obviously, it's been flushed out with the hydro and master being replaced. This may sound dumb but I have seen it many times, you might want to get a set of dealer pads and trying them out, seems you have wasted money on alot of other things, that if you were me, I would be getting a full refund for parts and labor for misdiagnosing it. I would go back and demand a full refund on everything you had done there.

How do I get read of the squeaky sounds from my tennis shoes?
Two days ago, we had a rainstorm in my city. I walked on wet streets and through some small puddles throughout that day. Afterwards, I discovered that one of my tennis shoes made a squeaking sound. Two days later, the shoe still makes that sound.
The sole of my shoe is rubber, and the sound seems to be coming from a rubber part that is within the larger outside rubber part (think of a small circle, representing the squeaky area, within a large oval, representing the entire sole).
Is it as simple as drying it as thoroughly as possible? I thought two days would be plenty of time to dry. Any advice?
Thanks!

How can I bleach out the canvas on white tennis shoes?
My four year old daughter got her brand new white tennis shoes muddy. The leather came out fairly clean, but the fabric parts are a dull tan. Is there something I can spray, to bleach them out white again?
How can I bleach out the canvas on white tennis shoes?
Don't use bleach it will just turn the white canvas a yellowish color. I always use a whitening toothpaste anda old toothbrush and scrub them that way. Also as long as you don't use a quick source of heat (like a dryer) to dry them they won't be completely stained and you should be able to get the mud out.
Reply:Chloroxe is easiest and cheapest.
Reply:I just pitch mine in the washer with hot water and bleach. It also has the benefit of helping to keep the shoes from getting smelly quite so fast! :-)
Reply:Chlorine bleach causes a chemical reaction which yellows canvas. You might try pre-soaking them with 3 tablespoons baking soda dissolved in warm water.
Reply:If your white canvas tennis shoes are looking a little dingy and washing them in the machine is simply not going to do the trick, use white shoe polish to make them look brand, spanking new.
Reply:Hmmmmmm....Bleach! yes bleach...it's the liquid that makes things white.
Reply:use a little bleach on a tooth brush (obviously throw the tooth brush out after use) to clean the canvas
trust its from a sneakerfreaker!

What does Adopted mean?
A little girl said, "I know all about adoption, I was
adopted."
"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child.
"It means" said the girl, "that you grew in your
mommy's heart instead of her tummy!"
**************************************...
On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball
game that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the
bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was.
"We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.
"Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very
discouraged."
"Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look on his
face... "Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat
yet."

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about
little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me
that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after
school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.
"Guess what, Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that will
remain a lesson to me....."I've been chosen to clap and cheer."

An eye witness account from New
York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago:
A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the
roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said, "My, but you're in
such deep thought staring in that window!"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's
reply.
The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk
to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give
her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing
her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair
upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She
patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable
now."
What does Adopted mean?
Yes, the adoption one hit me right there.

LOOK OUT FOR THE LAST STORY....IT WILL KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF
Author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia, once talked about a contest he was asked
to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was:
A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman,
who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went
into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the
little boy just said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family.
One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other
members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, "I know all about adoption, I was adopted."
"What does it mean to be adopted?", asked another child.
"It means", said the girl, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of

Author and lecturer, Leo Buscaglia, once talked about a contest he was asked
to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was:
A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman,
who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went
into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the
little boy just said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
**************************************...
Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family.
One little boy in the picture had a different hair color than the other
members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, "I know all about adoption, I was adopted."
"What does it mean to be adopted?", asked another child.
"It means", said the girl, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of
her tummy!"
**************************************...
On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Littlle League base ball game
that was being played in a park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench
on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was.
"We're behind 14 to nothing," he answered with a smile.
"Really," I said. "I have to say you don't look very discouraged."
"Discouraged?", the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face...
"Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet."
**************************************...
Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think
about little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that
he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after
school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.
"Guess what, Mom," he shouted, and then said those words that will remain
a lesson to me....."I've been chosen to clap and cheer."
**************************************...
An eye witness account from New York Cit y , on a cold day in December, some
years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe
store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
with cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said, "My, but you're in such deep
thought staring in that window!"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,"was the boy's reply
The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to
get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give
her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her
gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair
upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. She patted
him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable now."
As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking
up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her .
"Are you God's wife?"

Which shoes should I wear if I wanna be faster (running)?
I may have to take part in the relay race thing my school is doing, so anyways, I have two shoes. None of them are running shoes, but one of them has a 1cm heel, and the other is basicaly heel-less. The 1cm heel shoe is good if I wanna be taller, and long legs apparently have a role in running, so yea. The heel-less one is good if I wanna minimize my chances of falling down, which i wanna do cause who likes falling down, right?
also, are shorter people better at running than taller people? or is it the other way around? cause i'm short, and while i may not be the fastest person, i'm not the slowest. could i become faster if i'm taller?
Which shoes should I wear if I wanna be faster (running)?
You should probably wear the shoe with virtually no heal, because you're right, you have less chance of falling down.
And with leg length what matters most is the muscles you have in your length. 1 cm isn't going to help much in that area so just go with the flatter shoe.
Being short and tall doesn't really go into it, I mean sure, some of it is leg length, but you have to know how to use your muscles to your advantage, and THAT is what is going to make you faster. Hmm, about the issue of becoming faster if you become taller, sure I guess you could, but tall shoes is not going to help. It has to be tallness body wise, tall shoes are just going to hinder your stride.
Hope this helps!
Reply:i dont think so...i think the lighter shoe you have the better you can do.
Reply:If this is just a one race deal, then just wear whatever sneakers you have that are the most comfortable when running. If you're going to do more running, you should get some better shoes.

Reply:well if you take it from me...relays require spikes on a rubber track because rubber soles don't have as much grip than spikes. spikes are track shoes that are LIGHT running shoes that have metal sharp spikes to press into the rubber track..if your're running on a cemented track field than you should try and get some of them special shoes made just for cemented track...and all tall people are not fast because they don't know how to balance thier legs to run with a great stride.and short people are the same.even though their legs are shorter they still have the same amount of strength than a tall person.because they have a little bit more upper body strength.so to sum it up neither shoes are good for the occasion .,to peform your best you should have the right type of shoe.soccer requires cleats like football basketball requires ankle support-grippy shoes and like I said track requires spikes.
Reply:There is not high specifications in running. For shoes I would go with a good running shoe, but just good tennis-shoes would work to. If thoes arnt an opption i would get the one with not heal. Heals are bad to run in, they are awful on your feet. Also make sure to wear shoes with good arch support. I didint and know im paying the price (my arch is collapsing)
Hope i hellped
Reply:If the relay race is a serious thing get or barrow running shoes that fit. Spikes are good if it's on a track.
If those aren't options go with the heel-less shoes.
One of the most important things about a relay race is to make a good hand-off so I wouldn't worry about too much of the tall vs short people.
Reply:the best shoes are shoes that match your arc. If u have trouble with tall runners, work on turnover

Does any lady like to be destructive while wearing her high heels?
I noticed a lady in a shoe shop the other day. She was part of the staff. She was tearing shoe boxes apart very loudly and making lots of small pieces. She was wearing four inch heels too which she moved around as she stood. She seemed to be enjoying tearing the boxes as she was laughing and joking with another member of staff. Do any other ladies like to break or tear things while they are wearing their heels. Does wearing the heels make you feel more powerful or confident to do that?
Does any lady like to be destructive while wearing her high heels?
I only found this because I searched for "shoe shop" but you are lucky because I also like shoes and being destructive, so I think I could be a good person to answer.
You'll probably be sorry to hear this but it's my honest opinion the two things are totally unrelated. In the first case it was the staff member's job to break up the boxes so they can fit in the rubbish bins. She was probably told to do that by the manager. Secondly, she was likely young and worked in a shoe shop so it wasn't unusual that she was wearing a nice pair of heels.
Take my own case. I sometimes wear heels and am sometimes destructive and sometimes do both at the same time, but it is all completely random. For example, I often tear up junk mail at home and am usually barefoot, but if I do it at work I could likely be wearing heels and it doesn't make any difference to me what I'm wearing on my feet.
I think you may have a shoe fetish and then are extending it to dominance, power, or the giantess kind of scenario. You are thus making these connections in your mind in an attempt to realise some dream. I truly don't mean that in a put down kind of way, but I'm just attempting to stand back and be honest about it :-)
Reply:I thought I was the only one!!! I think it's the height factor and the mistique of the "high-heeled shoe", and it being a phalic symbol or something like that.
But then again that lady could just be crazy without the shoes.
Reply:They look sexy...grrrr!
Reply:no it doesnt. maybe she was just psychotic
Reply:they had to get rid of the boxes, she was probably pissed at her spouse so she took her frustrations out on the boxes that needed to be gotten rid of anyway. Her shoes had nothing to do with it, she was pacing, could have been doing that in tennis shoes. You noticed her shoes most likely because 1, either you have a shoe or foot fetish 2, they were nice looking shoes, 3 they looked nice on her and her legs......get the idea babe? She turned you on.
Reply:If you wear quality high heels, and there well balanced (as in the shoe is made well balanced, not your body) then there very comfortable, and can be walked around in all day!
Maybe she was pms'ing haha!
Reply:I just try to be feminine
Reply:No not really... That sounds weird.
I have one pair of open backed heels that get stuck in the bricks on the sidewalk by my office. They get stuck and I always trip in fall...
I can just imagine the people inside their offices laughing at me!

Why do women's feet hurt when they wear high-heeled shoes?
What parts of the foot exactly hurt (women) when high-heeled shoes are worn?
Why do women's feet hurt when they wear high-heeled shoes?
Depends on the shoe, but the ball of the foot hurts, they feel hot and start to tingle.
I have gel inserts that are supposed to alleviate that, I also got some gel inserts that are supposed to put the weight on the heel instead. Both of these kinds eventually peeled off :P bad adhesive. I got some foam inserts to make the shoes fit better and they stayed stuck. I want more of those...
Anyway lower heels are less pain, but boys like them higher.
Reply:well when I wear them too long it makes my toes hurt. It puts all your weight on your toes... try walking on the tips of your toes for a while, you will see what I mean! =)
Reply:because beauty is pain.
Reply:I believe its about the arch of the foot being extended.
Which is why its important to train the foot/arches when wearing high heels.
Start with a lower heel and wear it for a while until you can go a few hours without any problems.
Then move up a half inch and try a higher heel.
I would start with something like 2 or 2 1/2 inches.
Give it a week or two before moving up to a higher heel.
When you reach 3 inches, practice just standing. It's easier to maintain your balance walking (if done properly- heel, then toe) than standing.
In a higher heel, such as 3 inch, also be sure to train your foot more than a week.
The real key is to wear the heels, then after 20-60 minutes, switch back to flats or sneakers.
By doing this you are elongating the muscle, or stretching.
This kind of training can take weeks to be effective. And that just to become comfortable with a 3 inch heel.
Results will vary for different people.
Hope that helps!!
Reply:It depends I guess..I hear women say the heel hurts..but personally my toes hurt..from the pressure of my heel..I stand all day and it's a pain..but I look cute..
Reply:The balls of your feet hurt the most.
Reply:There are a ton of products out there to help with all parts of the foot that hurt when you wear heels...

Is it okay for my puppy to chew an old cell phone?
So my puppy stole my phone yesterday (which I def. don't want her chewing on) so I gave haer an old cell phone I sanitized. It's a silver flip phone and I screwed the anttena off so there are no small parts. Is this okay? And also she likes to chew on old shoes, shoe strings, phone books, receipts and boxes (gets them on her head and runs around inot things). Are these also okay?
Is it okay for my puppy to chew an old cell phone?
no...you don't want him eating any part of the cell phone by accident. especially the wires and the batteries that are INSIDE the phone.
and that other stuff isn't that great also...and plus you're teaching her that it's ok to chew on those stuff in the long run.
for example, the shoe. it wouldn't be fair for your dog to recognize an old, moldy sneaker from a brand new spankin' puma right? a shoe is a shoe.
your dog will probably get used to chewing on anything it pleases...so once it starts chewing on one of your valuable stuff...you won't be very happy. and if you punish her, she'll only be more confused, because you let her get away with it in the first place, and the habit will be harder to break.
just discourage this behavior. when you catch her chewing on something that isn't one of her toys, say "NO" in a very loud voice and replace what she's currently chewing on with one of her toys.
teaching her the "off" command would be useful also. you can google that.
get her a kong instead. she'll love that.
(you stuff treats inside it...when the dog chews on it, it comes out. rewards her for chewing on that toy...and not your feet or something.)
Reply:Get her chew toys
it would be alot safer
Reply:No!
Give her a dog chew toy instead. Cell phones have batteries and are FILLED with small parts once broken open.
Reply:Never let a dog chew on anything thats not made for chewing . your dog could get a sharp piece off and tear up their insides or choke them and or kill them.
Be A responsible dog owner and take control and keep non chewable stuff away and train your puppy not to chew on other then approved toys.
Reply:None of those things are okay. They are potentially deadly to dogs. Get your puppy chew toys, or some new socks (my dog loves the ones I knit)
Reply:cellphones contain electronics that are made from materials that are poison to everything. minerals and metals and semiconductors. the other risk would be swallowing the sharp connectors and pins and nomenclature the phone contains that can rip apart intestines and make your dog bleed internally and die.
Reply:Not a good idea you have just give her permission to chew phones and its dangerous she could swallow some parts .Hope you have plenty of money available for the operation she will need if this courses a blockage
Reply:no! a shard of metal or plactic can tear up his little insides! buy him toys and get that away from him!!!
Reply:I would take away the cell phone. There may not be any small external parts but if she cracks it open, the pieces inside or the pieces that break off could cause damage. I would also keep her away from shoe strings. If she swallows it, it could end up causing twisted intestines which could lead to emergency surgery or death. The other things sound destructive but basically harmless. You must keep the box on the head. That is hilarious!!
Reply:No a puppy or dog should not be chewing any types of phones, phone books or anything that could be dangerous to a dog or puppy. The cell phone can still shock the dog or hurt the dog really badly. You need to make your house dog proof and puppy proof.
Katie
Reply:Absolutely not. Please do not give your dog anything besides chew toys. Why in the world would you let her chew on a cell phone? Would you let a baby chew on it? Would you let a baby put phone books, receipts, and boxes in their mouth? It can be very dangerous, sanitized or not. Please take them away and give her proper chew toys. There are chew toys for a reason.
Reply:a phone can kill her! it has a battery and cords that can electricute her! dont give her some of the other things either she can chock on them and also die. if you ate a cel phone would you live . think about that and decide what is best for her.
Reply:Well, if you let her chew on the OLD cell phone, remember that you have NO reason to be mad at her when she chews on the NEW cell phone again, because she can't tell the difference between "old" and "new".
That goes for your shoes, your shoe strings, your phone books, your receipts, and your boxes.
And no, it's not okay to let her chew on electronics, because it's not meant to be a dog chew toy. She will crack the plastic casing, swallow pieces (requiring an expensive trip to the vet), and get into the interior electronics (also requiring an expensive trip to the vet. There are lots of little pieces inside a cell phone - there's not some 'genie' in there that makes it work!).
Reply:If you don't want her chewing on your new cell phone, why would you give her your old one? Do you really think she knows the difference?
Supervise your pup, give her Kongs, Busy Buddies, Nylabones - you know, dog toys! - to chew on, and crate her when you can't watch her so she doesn't chew on off-limits items.
Reply:they have big chew toys like ropes and bones and rubber animals make noise just go pets shop they would be safer
Reply:As long as you`ve disabled international calls.
If not your screwed !!
Reply:ABOSLUTELY NOT! the cell phone probably has chemicals inside that could seriously hurt her. Also you dont want her thinking she can just chew on anything you need to tell her no and take the stuff away from her. Go to the store and get her rawhide bones and toys to chew on. Or if ya cant afford get her some old stuffed animals. They might be messy but you need to teah her she cant just chew on anything. When you see her chewing on things shes not supposed to tell her NO (sternly) and give her one of her chew toys that she can chew on. Eventually she will learn not to chew on things other then her toys. but you have to stick with it til she is out of that stage. Otherwise as a big dog she is going to chew you out of house and home litterally.
Reply:No, absolutely don't allow your dog to chew on the old cell phone. There are things in the components that could be dangerous. Plus, it teaches her that it's OK to chew on things such as the remote, or your current cell phone, since that behavior will generalize to other electronic gadgets. The same applies to old shoes - how will you react when she chews your new ones? Buy her appropriate chew toys, such as Kongs, and teach her to chew on those, but not on shoes, books, electronics ,etc. - only on those things you give her permission.

Reply:No a puppy or dog should not be chewing any types of phones, phone books or anything that could be dangerous to a dog or puppy. The cell phone can still shock the dog or hurt the dog really badly. You need to make your house dog proof and puppy proof.

Reply:Absolutely not. Please do not give your dog anything besides chew toys. Why in the world would you let her chew on a cell phone? Would you let a baby chew on it? Would you let a baby put phone books, receipts, and boxes in their mouth? It can be very dangerous, sanitized or not. Please take them away and give her proper chew toys. There are chew toys for a reason.
Reply:a phone can kill her! it has a battery and cords that can electricute her! dont give her some of the other things either she can chock on them and also die. if you ate a cel phone would you live . think about that and decide what is best for her.
Reply:Well, if you let her chew on the OLD cell phone, remember that you have NO reason to be mad at her when she chews on the NEW cell phone again, because she can't tell the difference between "old" and "new".
That goes for your shoes, your shoe strings, your phone books, your receipts, and your boxes.
And no, it's not okay to let her chew on electronics, because it's not meant to be a dog chew toy. She will crack the plastic casing, swallow pieces (requiring an expensive trip to the vet), and get into the interior electronics (also requiring an expensive trip to the vet. There are lots of little pieces inside a cell phone - there's not some 'genie' in there that makes it work!).
Reply:If you don't want her chewing on your new cell phone, why would you give her your old one? Do you really think she knows the difference?
Supervise your pup, give her Kongs, Busy Buddies, Nylabones - you know, dog toys! - to chew on, and crate her when you can't watch her so she doesn't chew on off-limits items.
Reply:they have big chew toys like ropes and bones and rubber animals make noise just go pets shop they would be safer

If not your screwed !!
Reply:ABOSLUTELY NOT! the cell phone probably has chemicals inside that could seriously hurt her. Also you dont want her thinking she can just chew on anything you need to tell her no and take the stuff away from her. Go to the store and get her rawhide bones and toys to chew on. Or if ya cant afford get her some old stuffed animals. They might be messy but you need to teah her she cant just chew on anything. When you see her chewing on things shes not supposed to tell her NO (sternly) and give her one of her chew toys that she can chew on. Eventually she will learn not to chew on things other then her toys. but you have to stick with it til she is out of that stage. Otherwise as a big dog she is going to chew you out of house and home litterally.
Reply:No, absolutely don't allow your dog to chew on the old cell phone. There are things in the components that could be dangerous. Plus, it teaches her that it's OK to chew on things such as the remote, or your current cell phone, since that behavior will generalize to other electronic gadgets. The same applies to old shoes - how will you react when she chews your new ones? Buy her appropriate chew toys, such as Kongs, and teach her to chew on those, but not on shoes, books, electronics ,etc. - only on those things you give her permission.
