well im getting a blanck skateboard (no wheels or trucks come with it) and some wheels. My qestion is to you whats a good blanck skate board? (brand name please) and what are some good wheels?.Also what are some REALLY good skate shoes ones that%26#039;ll last me a long time (i know every shoe doesnt last to long but hey its for 10 points :) ). finally last qestion whats your experince at a skatepark? good? bad? are alot of people jerks or are they nice (i know the skatepark qestion sounds gay but ive only been to a skatepark 3 times so yeah)
Im going to get a skateboard tomarrow and shoes wich should i get? please name some good brands?
for the deck, if you want it to last and have good pop, get a DGK, PLAN B or an ELEMENT. people say elements stink but i have one and i%26#039;ve had it for 7 months now and i still ride it. get some tensor trucks they are very light. as for wheels, get ricta or spitfires and get bone swiss bearings because they are FAST. For shoes, fallens and adios are your best bet. don%26#039;t get a completely rubber outside for your shoes because the rip faster also, get an extra pare of shoe laces. you%26#039;ll need em lets leave it at that. dude, skateboarding is like a brotherhood (sisterhood too) or a religion. real and true skateboarderes stick together and might just offer you advice. be kind to anyone and they%26#039;ll probably be kind to you. DO NOT WORRY. it will be fine. if you worry, AND THEN fall and then its humilating. just laugh it off a go back to skating with your buds. watch out for bikers because for some odd reason, most of them hate skaters. the way i see it, there ae skaters and then there are skater punks. stay away from the punks because they always want to pick fights for their own enjoyment. you%26#039;ll know one when you see one
Reply:good job. i used to have a world industries too and pig wheels are pretty good Report It
Reply:Deck- Blackout, Speed Demons
Wheels- Spitfire, Ricta
Shoes- Fallen, Etnies
most people are nice,
Reply:the best skate shoes are circa lakai and fallen and the best balnk boards are ATM and minnielogos and bones are the best wheels and at the skatepark if u get in peoples way then there meen but if u dont then u mite make some frends i made frends at the park like if u guys are both tryin the same thing then u end up askin how they try to do it and u guys try it together or just go up to sum1 and ask them wat there board is and how long they%26#039;ve been skatin and other stuff
Reply:Most skateshops make there own blank decks and you can also find them just about everywhere you go. It doesnt really matter witch brand cause they all are the same. Weels Id go with are spitfires or autobahn%26#039;s.
Shoes go with like Fallen, Vans or get etnies which are comfortable but rip and tear easy if you get the fabric kind.
Yes the people at the skateparks are nice but like dont like insult them on tricks they cant do cause you will get like the sh*t kicked out of you if you talk to much s#^t.
Reply:dude. id get an alien workshop board. thats what i have. i have independent trucks,, alien workshop wheels,, lucky barrings,, bones hardware,, and the shoes i find most comforable/help me do my tricks better are DCs.. and im a street skater, mainly because i dont live around a town that has a skateparkk and i dont have my license yet. hope i helped!!
Reply:Well for the board any blank board is the same as the next. Personally black label is alright but alot of the time its cheaper to get the brand of the store (my local skate shop carries its own brand) Wheels you should go with Blind or Spitfire both good get them thin if you wanna do tricks or wide if you wanna just cruise. Shoes...i would go with Circa they are a bit pricy but they lasted the longest when i skated (back in the day lol) Skateparks are fun (my local one is usually empty anyways) alot of people can be a bit mean but if you come around often you should make some good friends :D good luck with skating
Reply:cheap blank boards are at your local board shops even the lil local skateshop board is good. wheels i would have to say spitfire, and ricta wheels are good. make sure u put them in the freezer overnight. guaranteed to make them last longer. i would say go with DC. DC lives up to its shoes. trust me DC shoes last long and very very durable. skateparks, to me was chill i liked them a lot cause i use to rollerblade and when i did the guys there didnt act like jerks. and if they did id smack them upside up the head. anyways now i skateboard and the guys there are even more chill. just skate and have fun. you shouldnt worry bout them. your there to skate and have fun for you not them.
Reply:Well...why get a blank deck? Really if you havent skated much yet it doesnt matter what kind of deck you have. I ride FLIP but thats just my preference. I would say since your starting out to stay AWAY from element. They are featherlight boards with a line of fiberglass in them and if you cut into that it will hurt and what not. So just stay away. Ricta makes really good wheels. I would definitely go with them. And dont forget bearings...i%26#039;d say black panther bearings...and if you do need a truck get some Tensor trucks. But really skate parks are a great place to go. There are alot of guys who can help you and give you tips...plus you can watch how they do things and try. Don%26#039;t be afraid to try things though...remember they were once at the same level as you. And yes there will be a few jerks there...but there are jerks everywhere. But usually its more of the bikers you have to watch out for. Good luck man, Have fun
Also i forgot shoes, Emericas are great. I skate them and when i used to have Es and DC they would break faster. Emericas last

Darning Pointe shoes?
Does anyone darn thier pointe shoes. How do you do it? What do you do instead of darning the tips. I have been cutting out the satin on the tip and coating it with nail polish so it does not fray. I was wondering if there was a neater way that might make the shoes last longer.
Darning Pointe shoes?
Few people darn pointe shoes anymore, but it can prevent slipping. I have been on pointe for 5 years and i have always just left the tips of my pointe shoes alone, when they tear, i coat them with nail polish, just like you.
I%26#039;m really sorry but i don%26#039;t exactly know how to darn pointe shoes. try asking a teacher, or searching on the web. unless you are preforming often, having ripped tips of pointe shoes shouldn%26#039;t make a huge difference, my recommendation would be to continue the nail polish method.
if you would like pointe shoes where the tips do not tear, i would try gaynor mindens
good luck and happy dancing
Reply:i usually just leave the tip alone but you can cut it and then burn the edges carefully. It just takes some practice but it looks much neater. I do that for my ribbons too.
If your looking for something that looks neat and doesn%26#039;t slip, you can also get moleskin from like wal-mart and cut it out in the shape of your box and stick it on. I used to do that sometimes too.
Reply:this may sound crazy but take a lighter to it on the tip....just wave it over the satin real quick if you dont know what i mean watch %26quot;center stage%26quot;

Buying Pointe Shoes?
I%26#039;m doing research for a script I%26#039;m writing. The main character is a professional ballet dancer. At one point the main character goes to buy new pointe shoes. I%26#039;ve got two questions:
1. Who is the best company to buy from?
2. How long, on average, will the shoes last?
Thanks and God Bless!!!
Buying Pointe Shoes?
Higher level dance students, who usually take several pointe classes a week, can often go through one or more pairs monthly. Professional dancers go through pointe shoes much more quickly and order shoes in bulk directly from manufacturers - one pair can %26quot;die%26quot; after twenty minutes of a performance. Many professional ballet companies offer shoe allowances to their dancers, allotting a certain number of shoes to each dancer per season, depending on her position in the company. Professional dancers may buy very expensive pointe shoes, ranging from $150 to $250, depending on what company and how they are customized. Professional dancers almost NEVER buy their own shoes from a shop.
As a dancer myself, I have always enjoyed Gaynor Minden pointe shoes, because of the customization options. Freed of London also makes a great shoe.
Good luck!
Reply:I buy from Bloch. Mine last about a month or two.
Reply:1. There really isn%26#039;t a best company to buy from. Whatever fits and feels best is the one to get. It differs for everyone.
In my opinion, Bloch or Gaynor Minden is the best.
2. It depends on the strength of the foot, and how often they are being used. For your character, being a pro and all, they would probably go through a pair in a day or two, maybe three.
Reply:Depends on the shoes and the dancers. I always wore Grishko%26#039;s because they make super hard shoes with double shanks. All that means is my feet were very strong and needed a strong shoe, nothing about ability.
What I%26#039;m saying is it depends on how deep you want to go into it. Dancers rarely wear new shoes for a performance. New shoes are loud and not broken in. So a performance or two at best. New shoes for class can last a couple of classes depending on again the shoe and the dancer.
Reply:Grishko or russian pointe.
and also
what i have heard is that they only last up a 2 hour performance non stop dancing.
Reply:There is no best brand, a lot of factors go into deciding which pointe shoe works for each dancer (ex. strength of arch, how long class will be, etc.) for the script, if you want to drop some big names, capezio, bloch, gaynor minden, sansha, gamba, grishko. the life of a shoe is actually only a few hours. i wore gamba 97s and the box would be crushed within 3 or 4 hours, it depends on the strength of the dancers feet, how much pointe is being done center floor, etc.
good luck with your script!
Reply:for professionals need them every week maybe even every class depending on how hard there working. there is no good pointe shoes brand. It has to do with the shape and strength of the foot thats wearing them.
may God bless you and everyone you love!
Reply:companies: Bloch, Capezio, Grishko
ballet pointe shoes last depending on how often you dance...it could be from 6 months to a year.
Reply:the best brand would be Bloch and and professional dancers go through one pointe she per performance a lot of times but regular dancers usually go through 2 pair per year
Reply:That depends on how much support you want! Gaynor Mindens were recommended to me when I first started on pointe. If you dance on them for about 3 hrs. a week they will last you around 8mnths(a long time compared to a 2 wk normal shoes such as Bloch or Freed)
Reply:At most professional training schools, like the School of American Ballet or the English National Ballet School, students wear Freeds (either Studios or Classics) when they are first starting out. Many continue to wear them throughout their professional careers.
Please don%26#039;t use Gaynor Mindens. They look very, very ugly, even on otherwise gorgeous dancers like Gillian Murphy. Just saying.

What is the FUNNIEST thing your puppy or dog has ever done?
This morning, I brought in today%26#039;s newspaper (it comes bagged) and dropped it on the floor by the door while I took my shoes off. My puppy went totally wacko on the newspaper! Jumping around it in circles and growling, backing away, then moving in for the %26#039;kill%26#039; but he chickened out at the last minute. And its not like he%26#039;s never seen a newspaper before, he tries to eat them every day! Too funny.

my dog likes to sit in the recliner. one day my husband wouldn%26#039;t get up and let him sit there, so he walked into the kitchen and barked at his water dish. when my husband got up to get him some water, my dog ran back into the living room and jumped into the recliner. smart dog!

Reply:Mine was probably when my dog, Tucker, was playing with this dog toy that was a shark and it squeaked. He would shake it in his mouth like a maniac and one time he shook it with his mouth and it flew and hit blue glass bottles that were on top of our entertainment center. He didn%26#039;t break any of them lol. And also we have this Jingle Cats CD, it%26#039;s a stupid x-mas CD of cats meowing x-mas songs, when we would play it he would pluck up his ears so his head was all wrinkled and look around for the cats lol.
Reply:I think my two favorite are her running head first into a glass door full speed to get to the dog inside (she%26#039;d never had a back door before) and her attacking a vibrating back massager and then totally freaking out when she accidentally turned it on.
Reply:My 2 boxers and I live in a home with a small, fenced backyard. My dogs can escape out through a hole, but they never run away. Every time they escape, they run around to the front door.

It took me forever to figure out what happened.

Whats the song called on the Jordan shoe commercial where the home team looses due to a last second slam dunk?
In the commercial, the team wearing the white uniforms is the home team and the team wearing the black uniforms is the away team. The home team is winning but then the away team takes the ball and with just seconds left in the game and loosing by only 1 point, he jumps and poses like Jordan as he goes in for a slam dunk, thus winning the basketball game for the away team and breaking the hearts of the home team. The song is sort of a chant. Not sure how to describe it. If anybody can help me out in letting me know this, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

What should I do about 11 year old who lies for fun and/or to get out of chores?
Stepdaughter is 11. She’s been told that from now on she’s to get her clothes out the night before school b/c she has difficulties in the mornings like most kids. Last night she was watching a movie when I told her to go get her clothes ready. She argues. I say OK then go to bed right now so you will have time in the AM. She says she%26#039;ll get her clothes. She pulls out the first thing she sees. A white dress she wore as a flower girl to a wedding. I%26#039;ve been advised by others to not debate with her over clothes/hair choices as she%26#039;s old enough to decide and face feel the consequences of her choices. I say OK, find the dress shoes. She complains but finds them and resumes watching TV. Next AM she marches past the dress without blinking an eye and goes to find some clothes. She almost missed her bus. I told her that I think she knew she wasn%26#039;t going to wear that dress and lied to me. She got quiet. How to prevent this behavior in the future please?
What should I do about 11 year old who lies for fun and/or to get out of chores?
The TV need to go. Kids are very dependent on TV these days and taking it away is like taking drugs away from an addict. A night or two without the tube will get some results.
Reply:Don%26#039;t let her control you!! Lay down the law! She is not old enough to decide, but she is old enough for the consequences.Until she can accept responsibility for what she is going to wear, YOU must tell her what she will wear, and don%26#039;t let her change your mind.
Reply:What works in my house is to go through with her the Sunday before school and have my 6 year old to pick all the outfits she wants to wear and put them on hangers with labels with the day on it and the shoes under them that go with that outfit. That way she knows exactly what to wear and what day to wear it. That way she has the confidence to wear her clothes and she can still tell everyone that SHE picked the outfit. And I guarantee your little one is out of the house faster. The lieing thing I was much meaner if that even is a word. Blatenly lie to her a few times. If she askes for a treat after dinner say yes and don%26#039;t give it to her until she askes again where it is and then say,%26quot;oops I lied.%26quot; Then talk to her about how dissapointing it feels to have someone lie to you. Then the next time she lies remind her of that feeling and ask her again for the truth, let her know that its ok to tell you without punishment of that truth. When she does tell the truth reward her for that and lots of praises and talk about what would happen next time she lies or does what ever she lied about. Alway thank her for telling the truth no matter what happened because after all its the lie that makes us upset over the misdeed. I had to do this with my 2 year old who blames everything on her father. He goes into her room while she is sleeping and messes it up apparently and tells her not to brush her teeth. And if that doesn%26#039;t work just remind her that santa and grandma knows when they are bad. lol.
Reply:I think that the Tv can be removed from the home...that is what my parents did and I finally did my homework and got up in time etc. ...because that is what I wanted to earn back. Let her think that she has some rewards for doing the right thing and that she is in control...it is up to her...not you....and then she will take responsibility.
Reply:i would make her wear a uniform to school
that should help
Reply:you need to let her know you are the parents and she wont watch TV until you see her clothes for school the next morning and if you don%26#039;t like the clothes she picked out send her back into the room and find something else.
Reply:ok i was the same way and if didnt do what i was told i was told that i would be sent to some bording school or i would be grounded for a year and dont let her change your mind dont fall victim of an 11 yr old and just tell her and she doesnt make somthing up that will make her do it
Reply:I would just start telling her to pull out the clothes she is going to wear or you are going to start treating her like she is in preschool and pull them out for her....DO NOT DO THIS ...........M make her little butt go to bed at 8 for about a week and then when she decides that this is not fair then tell her to go get her clothes out for school and whatever she pulls out is what she IS wearing.....Hopefully this helps.It is going to get easier but not for a few more years. GOOD LUCK
Reply:No TV till she wears that dress for school! She%26#039;ll learn... It%26#039;s up to her whether she learns it the easy way or the hard way!
Reply:dont let her whatch tv before she has got her clothes out ready
Reply:Why hasn%26#039;t her dad stepped up to the plate in all this?
What I do with my nephew who lives with me is this. bedtime is at 8, nightly routine begins at 7. That means the TV goes off.
Shower, teeth brushing, lay out clothes for the next day and if there is time, he can read until 8pm.
He complained and acted bratty about it, but it has worked.
Reply:I agree with some of the answers above me. I can%26#039;t say that I would take the t.v. out, but limit it. If that%26#039;s part of what%26#039;s holding her back from doing her responsibilites, then when she doesn%26#039;t do what she%26#039;s suppose to, let her know that she%26#039;s not going to be able to watch tv that afternoon. Good luck!
Reply:Wow, I have the exact same problems with my 11 year old son...I thought it was just me, lol. Here is what we do and it makes life much easier, I make him shut the TV while he is getting everything ready for school the next day. When he has it all together, I check it before he turns the tv back on. If he chooses not to wear it the next day and gives me trouble, I remind him that %26quot;he%26quot; chose the items and also that if he does not put them on, he will lose his tv for that evening. I have only had to do this once, when he realized I wasn%26#039;t kidding...He now gets his things ready and chooses what he will %26quot;really%26quot; wear in the morning.
Reply:My daughter is 10 and pulls the same thing from time to time. She is grounded right now for lying about homework being done. Actually I think she just forgot 1 assignment but that really doesn%26#039;t matter.
Here are our rules:
1. The before bed routine MUST be done. (check out flylady.net) If she has her evening routine done (including picking out clothes) by 8:30 then she may have until 9 to read and settle down in her room before lights out.
2. If she isn%26#039;t done, then she loses the free time, finishes what she didn%26#039;t do, and lights out right then.
3. TV is THE FIRST to go. She isn%26#039;t allowed to watch more than a 1/2 hour on the weekdays.
4. NO changing the clothes laid out the night before, unless the weather changes it for her.
A violation like your daughter did would earn her a week of no tv, no phone except to family, no playing with friends. Further breaches of rules during her grounding removes her CD player, her gameboy, and taking baths (showers only, and my daughter loves baths) one by one. Then it%26#039;s on to more extra chores, but usually she is smart enough not to do that.
She knows the rules, and she usually follows them. Remember that your step-daughter is learning, she is only 11, and you should be worried if she didn%26#039;t do this. I think more structure and consistency will help her. Have a meeting about the rules, write them down and post them, and ask her to tell you what she thinks a fair punishment for breaking them would be (when she is not in trouble)
Good luck.
Reply:You are the adult and you need to show her that. She is 11 years old so when you tell her to do something and she refuses,take away the things she really likes. If she is watching t.v and you tell her to do something cut the t.v off until it is done,right. As goes her dressing make sure she is decent. If you don%26#039;t want to control to much what she wears, just make sure its something she %26#039;should%26#039; wear. And stepdaughter or not she still represents you and your husband and what she does reflects on you. Lying should never be permitted and if it has to come to this in situations like that you should have made her wear the dress. What could she do but admit the truth and face the consequences. It is merely cause and effect. Considering all this which one will have the upper-hand from now on, you or a 11 year old?
Reply:I have a 10 year old daughter, and she does things like that too. I think its the age. However, she should be punished for not telling the truth. maybe the TV should go off a 1/2 hour earlier tonight, so she will have plenty of time. this means that others in the house will have to suffer by having the TV off too, but so be it.
Reply:train this child with love and patience.
If he doesn´t obey, try to be closed to him/her
till you find out what she really likes and wishes.
Give this to her and try to make a deal as a friend not as a commander.Treat him/her as a friend. It will work.
Reply:make a deal with her
take away something she likes such as the tv,if she does not do wat she should do
grounding might help
no tv no com no music
but it might also back fire
so good luck

What should I do about 11 year old who lies for fun and/or to get out of chores?
The TV need to go. Kids are very dependent on TV these days and taking it away is like taking drugs away from an addict. A night or two without the tube will get some results.
Reply:Don%26#039;t let her control you!! Lay down the law! She is not old enough to decide, but she is old enough for the consequences.Until she can accept responsibility for what she is going to wear, YOU must tell her what she will wear, and don%26#039;t let her change your mind.
Reply:What works in my house is to go through with her the Sunday before school and have my 6 year old to pick all the outfits she wants to wear and put them on hangers with labels with the day on it and the shoes under them that go with that outfit. That way she knows exactly what to wear and what day to wear it. That way she has the confidence to wear her clothes and she can still tell everyone that SHE picked the outfit. And I guarantee your little one is out of the house faster. The lieing thing I was much meaner if that even is a word. Blatenly lie to her a few times. If she askes for a treat after dinner say yes and don%26#039;t give it to her until she askes again where it is and then say,%26quot;oops I lied.%26quot; Then talk to her about how dissapointing it feels to have someone lie to you. Then the next time she lies remind her of that feeling and ask her again for the truth, let her know that its ok to tell you without punishment of that truth. When she does tell the truth reward her for that and lots of praises and talk about what would happen next time she lies or does what ever she lied about. Alway thank her for telling the truth no matter what happened because after all its the lie that makes us upset over the misdeed. I had to do this with my 2 year old who blames everything on her father. He goes into her room while she is sleeping and messes it up apparently and tells her not to brush her teeth. And if that doesn%26#039;t work just remind her that santa and grandma knows when they are bad. lol.
Reply:I think that the Tv can be removed from the home...that is what my parents did and I finally did my homework and got up in time etc. ...because that is what I wanted to earn back. Let her think that she has some rewards for doing the right thing and that she is in control...it is up to her...not you....and then she will take responsibility.
Reply:i would make her wear a uniform to school
that should help
Reply:you need to let her know you are the parents and she wont watch TV until you see her clothes for school the next morning and if you don%26#039;t like the clothes she picked out send her back into the room and find something else.
Reply:ok i was the same way and if didnt do what i was told i was told that i would be sent to some bording school or i would be grounded for a year and dont let her change your mind dont fall victim of an 11 yr old and just tell her and she doesnt make somthing up that will make her do it
Reply:I would just start telling her to pull out the clothes she is going to wear or you are going to start treating her like she is in preschool and pull them out for her....DO NOT DO THIS ...........M make her little butt go to bed at 8 for about a week and then when she decides that this is not fair then tell her to go get her clothes out for school and whatever she pulls out is what she IS wearing.....Hopefully this helps.It is going to get easier but not for a few more years. GOOD LUCK
Reply:No TV till she wears that dress for school! She%26#039;ll learn... It%26#039;s up to her whether she learns it the easy way or the hard way!
Reply:dont let her whatch tv before she has got her clothes out ready
Reply:Why hasn%26#039;t her dad stepped up to the plate in all this?
What I do with my nephew who lives with me is this. bedtime is at 8, nightly routine begins at 7. That means the TV goes off.
Shower, teeth brushing, lay out clothes for the next day and if there is time, he can read until 8pm.
He complained and acted bratty about it, but it has worked.
Reply:I agree with some of the answers above me. I can%26#039;t say that I would take the t.v. out, but limit it. If that%26#039;s part of what%26#039;s holding her back from doing her responsibilites, then when she doesn%26#039;t do what she%26#039;s suppose to, let her know that she%26#039;s not going to be able to watch tv that afternoon. Good luck!

Am I the only person who thinks it is disgusting to wear shoes inside the house?
This is a follow up to my last question regarding in-laws who will not remove their shoes in my house.
Is it only me who thinks it is disrespectful and unsanitary to wear shoes inside the house?
It skeeves me just to think of how filthy a house may be when people track their dirty shoes in and out. I mean seriously... What if someone stepped in dog feces and then rubbed it in on the carpet where your kids play?
Am I the only person who thinks it is disgusting to wear shoes inside the house?
Ugh. I am right there with you. I%26#039;ll make exceptions once in a blue moon - I%26#039;m not obsessive about it - but I have new carpet. If you look at the floor right in front of the front door where I have people take their shoes off, and compare it to the floor in the rest of the house, you will immediately see why I have a no-shoes policy. I mean, I don%26#039;t have kids playing on the carpet and I don%26#039;t really see it as disrespectful (unless the person knows you have that rule and chooses to disobey it), but it%26#039;s common sense. I%26#039;m essentially lazy, I don%26#039;t want to spend my time steam-cleaning my floors, and even if I did, sand from shoes can cut up the fibers in carpet so that even after it%26#039;s clean it still looks bad.
Reply:What if - what if....
I play the what if game a lot. But I don%26#039;t worry much about germs and dirt. I grew up in a pretty messy house and played in a fenced-in, dirt front yard. I was rarely sick as a child and that still holds true today. My boyfriend was a first born - and his mother sterilized everything - including the floors - and he was very sick as a child.
As humans - I don%26#039;t think we were meant to be so sterile. While playing in dog feces is not a pleasant thought - you seem to be thinking about it a lot more than the average person.
I LIVE in my living room. I think that%26#039;s how it got it%26#039;s name. That means - shoes on if I want - and sitting and lying on the furniture - and eating wherever I want.
If you want to have a rule of no shoes - you should provide those little over-the-shoe slippers that the realtors provide at open houses. It%26#039;s kind of rude to ask people to take off their shoes. Maybe they have a hole in their sock or something.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s %26quot;disgusting%26quot; or %26quot;disrespectful%26quot; at all, except in a case like yours where the owner of the house does not want you to.
I usually wear my shoes into the house...though I take them off pretty quickly as a matter of comfort.
Edit: I should also add that I don%26#039;t have kids.
Reply:if someone steps in dog feces they should take their shoes off regardless of where they are lol. i only take my shoes off in my house because its comfortable. think about all the people will smelly feet? u want them to take their shoes off in your home? doubt it. i think this whole topic is a little bit on the OCD side if u ask me.
Reply:I agree with you: No shoes in the house. I like to walk around in my socks, and I prefer clean floors underfoot. It%26#039;s amazing how much cleaner things have been since I%26#039;ve stopped wearing shoes in the house.
Reply:I can%26#039;t stand wearing shoes in the house. Think of all the nasty things you step in. I don%26#039;t want that on my floors, especially with my son crawling around.
Reply:I don%26#039;t wear my shoes in the house but I realize that others are not the same as I. So I give them a pass. And you should see my Father In law%26#039;s shoe%26#039;s sometimes. I swear, I am a saint! LOL ;)
Reply:No, I think it%26#039;s sick too. If your feet is that gross, wear socks, but don%26#039;t drag that dirt and filth onto my carpet.
Reply:It%26#039;s disgusting inside %26amp; outside too.
Reply:i am completely with you. you track dirt and evrything when you were them inside.
Reply:i know it is sooo gross...........no you are NOT the only one esp. w/ kids and dirt and germs GROSS
Reply:To be honest, the human body is designed to cope with a significant amount of germs. As one of these answers points out, her boyfriend was brought up in a sterile house and got sick lots. My boyfriend%26#039;s cousins live in a very sterile household, and the amount of vomiting/cold incidents I hear about them is just unbelievable. They are lovely but incredibly sickly children. Now me on the other hand, I was brought up in a house of cats and germs. And even now I get ill so very very rarely. I haven%26#039;t had a proper cold in about 3 years!
Having said all that, I do have OCD and, like you, recoil at the horror that could be walked through my lovely safe little house when people come in shoes. But I am trying to come to terms with this one because I know it will not harm me. I insist people check their shoes before coming in, because if there is anything unpleasant (animal substances or otherwise), I do not want that in my house. I always insist on shoe removal when I%26#039;ve been on a night out in town because there%26#039;s ALWAYS blood on the floor or vomit or whatever, so I insist on a mass shoe removal and I disinfect the soles in the morning.
I%26#039;m guessing that if you%26#039;re funny about shoes, you don%26#039;t have a pet yourself? I can%26#039;t remember the statistics but it%26#039;s been discovered that a large proportion of dogs have fecal matter on their hind legs. But people don%26#039;t bathe them before letting them back in the house if they%26#039;ve just been for a normal urban walk. And cats, they trot in and out as they please, after walking through the same streets people%26#039;s shoes have walked.
I think it%26#039;s a matter of perspective. Yes, it%26#039;s an unpleasant thought but if you clean floors regularly, it shouldn%26#039;t cause a large problem.

How can I save money and shop, and have some to spend, when I need to,lets say just for fun?
Okay%26#039; I make $7.00 an hour,working 9hrs a day also getting 1-2 days off aweek. I get paid avery 2 weeks. I want to save a good amount to buy a car by this summer. For now $20.00 is in my bank. I love to shop and then have some money to kinda last,just in my pocket for a week. Yes%26#039; Im a female. And I need some good tips and a math blaster to help me%26#039; with this one. p.s- I would spend all my money/ cheak on shoes and clothes and all that nice stuff but, what I really want is a hot ride for this summer. Please%26#039; help my sorry victoria%26#039;s sercet cass. Is it possible?
How can I save money and shop, and have some to spend, when I need to,lets say just for fun?
You need to budget your money and get a mind-set to allow yourself only so much per account.
Example: $250 net income/week
$100 car
$100 food, gas, laundry, etc
$50 spending money
Budget will be tight, but very satisfying when you make your goal. Also, try not to loan out money you may not get back, or will be slow being repaid. Another thing that can make money disappear quickly is taking others out to eat as %26quot;your treat%26quot;
Good luck!!

Do soft shoes help your feet from callousing (sorry if that's not a word) during Irish Dancing?
I just started beginner%26#039;s lessons last night. My feet are killing me where I have callouses on my toes and the balls of my feet. Yikes! Will buying the shoes help? Also: if I am a US women%26#039;s 10, what%26#039;s my UK/Irish size??
Do soft shoes help your feet from callousing (sorry if that%26#039;s not a word) during Irish Dancing?
shoes are way better than bare fett or just socked feet i must say
also an at home pedicure can do wonders
starting off dancing your gonna wreck your feet up quite a feet
after a while you%26#039;ll most likely develop dancers feet [that what me and my friends call it] its basically when your foot looks kinda jacked up but it at least wont hurt anymore...the padding on your feet though is going to get pretty rough and that wont go away until you stop dancing completly
but i def. would say to get the shoes
also talk to your dance instructor they can help you find your perfect fit of a shoe
oh and honestly dont waste money on a doctor
i did that and it really didnt help
hope i helped
Reply:Your size would be a 40 or maybe a 41. I wear a 7 and a half or a 37 or 38 depending on the shoes. Shoe brands vary in sizing.
This is a difficult call if you already had callouses. I suggest you consult a foot doctor to resolve the callous problem before you do a lot of dancing. Dance catalogs have various things to protect your feet to prevent callouses, but if you already have them, I think, you should go to the foot doctor first. Do this soon. You don%26#039;t want to damage your feet more and have problems as you get old. Dancing will cause you feet to develop hard callouses and get blisters is this isn%26#039;t resolved. Sorry , honey, but you need a doctor before you continue dancing. Hopefully, he can help you.

You don%26#039;t want to damage your feet more and have problems as you get old. Dancing will cause you feet to develop hard callouses and get blisters is this isn%26#039;t resolved. Sorry , honey, but you need a doctor before you continue dancing. Hopefully, he can help you.

Camcorder Audio Experts Help! My camcorder has no jack or shoe! What can I do?
Last year, I purchased a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD108. I started making movies and really need a microphone. However, the camera has no external mic jack or interlace shoe. Is there anything I can do. Adapters or separate mics etc. Please help!
Camcorder Audio Experts Help! My camcorder has no jack or shoe! What can I do?
Zoom, M-Audio, Edirol, Marantz and others make %26quot;field recorders%26quot;. When you edit the video, import this audio and replace the audio that came in with the video. When the echo stops, everything is in sync.
Reply:That camera doesn%26#039;t have any audio inputs (according to it%26#039;s specs on sony). If you import the video to your computer you could add audio from a different device. If you burn straight to dvd you are out of luck.
If it were me, I would try an ipod with a mic.

Maybe not that one in particular, but it is the right idea.

LOOKING FOR THE WORLDS PERFECT SHOE. Not boot, shoe, help please! :)?
Hi, hmmm..
well I enjoy being fashionable.. and shoes are pretty much one of THE most important investments a girl can make.
So tell me, what should I invest in at the moment?
I currently own ONE pair of purple auede ankle boots (look way cuter than they sound) and black scrunched suede knee length boots. both heeled.
I also own tennis shoes.. but ALL of my trusty ballet flats have finally given up the ghost (I wear them through EVERYTHING and today i finally walked a hole in my last pair.. sigh)
So tell me ladies, and gentlemen! What should I buy next, I want something long lasting, versatile, and attractive!
COST ISNT AN ISSUE!
thankyou!♥

Shoe Signature?!?!?
Ok, so I went to this awesome concert last night. I was looking at the bassist%26#039;s shoes and we had on the same shoes, so after the show he signed the rubber part of my vans. He signed it with a fabric pen and I was wondering if there was anyway that I could write over it or something so it would be permanent.
I want to keep it on my shoes... forever
Shoe Signature?!?!?
i would try clear nail polish. to seal it in.
Reply:Dont try clear nail polish I did that once and it smeared the entire signature ^^^
Try Hodge Podge at your local discount retailer Walmart will have it. This will seal in the marker. Let dry for 24 hrs. (cost less than $5)
Good Luck : )
Reply:%26quot;SHARPIES%26quot; and other permanent are NOT permanent!! at least not on some materials (like shoes)
i think clear nail polish would work too, but just be careful u dont use anything that has the false advertisement as being %26quot;permanent%26quot;

My shoes are just a little too big... help?
I just got new shoes last night. Problem is, my heals slip out of them every once in a while. The 8 was just too small and the 8.5 is just a little too big... but i got the 8.5 -- is there an insert that might help them fit just a little bit more snug?
My shoes are just a little too big... help?
Yes. There is a heel insert that fits around the back portion of the shoe so that when you insert your foot, it keeps your foot in the shoe by taking up that extra space in the back. There are also whole sole inserts that will fill in the extra space inside your shoe. They can be purchased at the shoe store or go to TARGET and get them cheaper.
Reply:Put Tissue in the front bit of the shoe, or wear some in soles to help them stabelled...
Reply:In a pinch I%26#039;ve shoved plastic grocery bags in the toes...Yeah it%26#039;s ghetto fabulous but it works.

What could numbeness in foot be caused from?
For the last week, I have had off and on numbness(more so a tingling feeling) on my left foot located right under my big toe. I noticed after wearing my shoes at work. the tingling feeling comes and goes but i am just wondering what could be causing this. I have been on a diet and losing weight and working out a lot and i stand on my feet a lot at work and i wear safety shoes.
What could numbeness in foot be caused from?
I would see a doctor sooner rather than later. Foot numbness can be caused by a multitude of things including diabetes and poor blood circulation. No one can accurately answer that question here. You need to examined by a doctor.
Reply:Diabetes?

Long lasting shoes?
I wanna get a pair of new shoes(covered) that can last more than a month. Most of my shoes give way after four weeks. So are Clarks, everbest, doc marts %26amp; BATA good brands? I dun mind splurging SGD 150 on them as long as they last me at least around a year. I walk/tread around A LOT. I need something equivalent to a G Shock but in this case it%26#039;s a pair of shoes instead.
Long lasting shoes?
well i have had my Nike shocks for a year now and there have held up very well they have a Little damage but that could have been avoided they are a good indoor outdoor shoe they should work for you. you can get them at most any normal shoe store/%26#039;/
Reply:doc martens last VERY long. i used to love mine when i was a little girl a long time ago. hehe. i would run around in them and evrything and they still lasted me a VERY long time! more than 3 years i think. when i gave them away, they were still in good condition!
i dont wear doc martens anymore though. but they are good. good for your feet too.
i dont know about clarks, everbest or bata. never had them

Accessory nevicular bones! what should i do? Anyone else have them? What did you do?
I have accessory nevicular bones. They really bug me and hurt me, especially when I%26#039;m playing soccer which is how I spend most of my time. I can%26#039;t decide if I should get it over with and get them removed or not. I have tried the orthodic shoe inserts made for my feet and last year I was in casts for 6 weeks because the accessory nevicular bones were damaging my other bones. Is it worth the surgery and the 4 weeks of recovery afterwards+ the year of physical therapy after that?
Accessory nevicular bones! what should i do? Anyone else have them? What did you do?
this is personal advice, not medical advice
yes. in your case, you have tried the inserts, and they did not bring enough relief. if you want to be active, and have tried orthotic arch supports, then i don%26#039;t know of any other options.
however, you can be walking in about two weeks or so, and the cast is usually off in about 6 weeks total (although you will probably have to use an ankle brace for a couple of months or so)
while this is NOT a medical opinion, if it were me i would get the surgery

Tennis shoes with brass knuckles on them?
okso, i tried on this pair of shoes last night at tj maxx and i really liked them, but i need a smaller size. unfortunately, i forgot to look at who made them :[

What footwear should I wear with mens skinny(ish) black/v.dark blue jeans?
I bought some jeans from Zara last week that are quite skinny fit.
I need some shoes to wear with them, and cant decide what would go best.
should I go for a slim-fitting black shoe (maybe pointy toed), or slim fitting white trainers, or a converse chuck style shoe?

Reply:By skinny fitting do you mean tight around the ankle if so then your best kind of footwear would be a chelsea type boot ( one which covers the ankle) this allows the bottom of the jeans to sit snugly around the outside of the boot, wearing shoes with tight fitting jeans will give the appearance of having feet much larger than you actually have because of the way that tight jeans sit on the shoe, pointy toes will squash your feet and make them ache and unless you intend to go jogging in your new jeans what%26#039;s the point of wearing trainers

Reply:Depends where you are going! The shoes sound great if you are doing the more dressy thing, Converse are more casual. Both are good in my book.
If you are going to a club/pub where the floor will be swimming with beer after a couple of hours, go for the shoes, that stuff never comes out of white trainers or Cons, seriously, I know from experience!

Should I be allowed to break dress code at work due to a pregnancy related issue?
I%26#039;m 38 weeks pregnant....this upcoming Friday is my last day at work (baby is being born next Wednesday) and this week my ankles are to the point of being so swollen, not one pair of sandals or shoes fit, except flip-flops. I work for an Engineering Firm in the Legal department and of course, working in that department, the dress code is nicer. More on the business side. Since this is my last week, I wore flip-flops today (it%26#039;s my only option!) but my boss still hasn%26#039;t noticed. Should I be allowed to do this or will it be necessary for me to go out and buy a whole new pair of sandals for work this last few days? What do you think about this?
Should I be allowed to break dress code at work due to a pregnancy related issue?
It%26#039;s ridiculous to buy another pair of shoes! I had the same problem when I was pregnant, and I wore the same shoes for the last 2 month of my pregnancy cause I was soo swollen.
Your pregnant and you have other things to buy than another pair of shoes...I would just keep wearing the flip flops and if someone says something...tell them it%26#039;s the only pair of shoes that fit you due to you being swelled.
Besides, for medical reasons, you should be able to get away with it.
Reply:You should be at home with your feet up.
Reply:I am pretty sure that legally, even dress codes are included in where employers must make accomodations for medical reasons. Never mind what jerks woudl they be to make you get a new pair for 4 days? Just stay at your desk maybe they wont see lol
Reply:I probably would have asked my boss if I could bend the dress code and not just hoped he/she wouldn%26#039;t notice. I think it shouldn%26#039;t be a problem, especially if you sit at a desk all day long. If you interact with customers, you might want to go out and buy a pair of cheap slides or mules that you can wear the next few days.
Reply:My work said %26quot;wear whatever you want...we are just happy you are here!%26quot;. Just talk to your boss and tell them you don%26#039;t want to go buy new stuff for a few days so can you please just do what you can? Good luck!
Reply:I don%26#039;t see why it should be a problem. I would still talk to him and explain why, and hopefully he/she will be understanding.
Reply:since day 1 of pregnancy my boss has allowed me to break the dress code in order to be comfy...he knows clothes are expensive and didnt want me to spend alot on work clothes alone...it got the point i was wearing yoga pants or capris tee shirts and sandals....so i think your boss should def allow you to be comfy especially on your last few weeks

Reply:If I were you, I would just wear the flip flops since you say Friday is the last day. If you were like me that still has 2 more months to go, then yes I would tell you to go buy a new pair of nice sandals. Its only from now till Friday, these days are going to fly by and Im sure your boss will understand. Your stomach must look like its ready to pop and I doubt your boss is thinking of what shoes you are wearing. Like I said, me myself, I still have 2 more months and Im scared to wear even SANDALS! ( I wear really comfortable low heels). But at my last week, especially just 3 more days, DONT WORRY! Go barefoot if you want! lol just kidding..lol! Youll be okay, Im sure he wont mind, Friday is like literally right around the corner! I look up to women like you that work till there almost about to pop! Goodluck and congrats!

Reply:You should have an alternate dress code at work for pregnancy related issues and if you don%26#039;t, go talk to your HR representative instead of your boss, because your boss has bosses he has to report to while the HR department usually can override that sort of thing.

Also, you already have plenty of bonus points built up just for hanging in there for this long. Trust me, your boss is worried that your water will break any minute and would be more than happy to give you the rest of the week off if you asked. He is impressed that you are still around and will allow you any license you need with the dress code.
Good luck with everything!
Reply:Why don%26#039;t you talk to your boss, explain to him you can%26#039;t afford a new pair of shoes and that your feet are only comfortable in flip flops right now. I%26#039;m sure he/she will understand. If you try to hide it then the boss could get mad, if your honest...it%26#039;s better.

How can I get my kids to watch TV?
they are the very active type. every second of the day, they have to be up and going (and going and going and going). Sometimes, like once a week, i just need them to sit down all at once and be quiet and watch TV. None of them can seem to do this. They hate TV. The middle aged ones like Disney Channel and all those movies and shoes (Hannah Montana, High School Musical) but the others, forget it. Is there anything I can do to get them to settle down and watch it every now and then?
and I%26#039;m sorry about repeating this question, I%26#039;m just trying to get more answers. The last time i asked this, i didn%26#039;t get very many good ones.
How can I get my kids to watch TV?
Hon tell them there is to be %26quot;quiet time%26quot; for one hour whenever and schedule it in. They can read a book, go play a video game or do a puzzle or watch tv. When I raised my nephews from 1pm-2pm they had quiet time they had to read a book or just be in their rooms by themselves doing something that wasnt overly noisy. Sometimes they watched tv sometimes they laid on the bed and slept many times they read a book or comic
By the way you dont want them watching to much TV I have a 7yr old SD and that is all she does she%26#039;s either watching TV or on the computer she wont go outside she wont do sports and she is obese as a result of her inactivity but her mom uses TV as a baby sitter and my sd says %26quot;it keeps me entertained%26quot;
*EDIT* I just read your profile 14 kids! No wonder you need quiet time. Boys seem to be more active and you have 8 of them! My son is more active at 16 months then my daughter was, my 2 nephews that I raised were more active then their sister. The older ones can understand you need quiet time and though I am not a big promoter of older kids helping to care for younger maybe if you talk w your older ones they can maybe take the younger outside so that you have a break? I wish you all the luck in the world being a single parent isnt easy but its worth it.
Reply:Why not just tell them you want some quiet time. Get them involved in a game or playing in their rooms or something. Why do they have to watch TV?
Reply:I very much appreciate wanting them to have some quiet time (for your own sanity!) but you are fortunate that your kids aren%26#039;t TV zombies.
Maybe you can just set a time every week that is designated for that -- Wednesdays between 4 and 6 p.m. or whatever -- when they can watch TV or do anything, but it has to be quiet. Instead of trying to define the activity to occupy the time, define the time and let them choose the activity that occupies it.
Reply:Once a week, have a family movie night. Go rent some movies together, and pick out snacks and popcorn. That night after dinner play a board game or another game together and then have some snuggle up on the couch time for the movie. Younger kids may like to pretend you are at the movie theater and make little tickets and pretend to sell the popcorn to people. Hopefully then you can have two hours where everyone is sitting together and relaxing and you can discuss your opinions about the movie when it is over.
Reply:If your goal is to have them in a safe place without direct supervision, then why not ask them to play quietly in their rooms. If they would rather be in your sight, then put them at the table with play-doh, modeling clay, coloring books, or puzzles. Quiet time does not have to be in front of the tv. I don%26#039;t know if anyone will give you ways to get children to watch tv, most are trying to get their children away from the tv or other electronics.
Reply:Wow, this is not a question that is asked usually people would want to know how to stop them from watching.
The only suggestion I would have is to take them to the video store and let them pick out a good movie preferably a movie that is based on some type of cartoon, or tv show, that way if they like the movie they will want to watch the tv show/cartoon more often. With the movie either get them some popcorn or pizza something that they will actually sit, that way they can get their attention to the tv since they are sitting to eat. Of course you don%26#039;t want them to get in the habit of eating and watching tv so don%26#039;t get them pizza or popcorn every time. I hope I was able to help, and good luck

We forbid our daughter to watch tv during weekdays except on Tues when her favorite show is on for an hour. Otherwise she is restricted to watching tv only on Friday to Sunday (hours restricted). We rather she goes out to play with the neighbours kids then lost in her world of tv.
In my family, i am the one who wld hardly watch tv. It is not easy to get me to sit down and watch a movie... lol
Reply:My child is the exact same way, always wanting to go, go, go. I bought the nintendo wii game for the tv with the kung-fu/ karate game and the dance mat game... It is interactive, where my child has to get up and do karate moves and or do dance moves, depending on what game that is played. It has been keeping my child entertained for a few hours a week.
The game was costly, but worth it to me to have just a little time to myself!!!!
Reply:i think if your kids would rather be active then sit and watch tv, you are lucky. if you need them to be quiet, well send them in the yard to play or something. arrange a quiet time in the house where they can read books or color...if they dont wanna be sucked into the TV world, dont force them
Reply:You can try board games, puzzles, legos, coloring books, or other alternatives.
Try taking them to a park where you can watch them yet have some quiet time.
If not you have to find a show that intrest them.
Reply:How old are your kids? I have 3 toddlers and I understand what you mean by needing them to settle down every now and then. My kids seem to enjoy watching PBS sprout (I know it%26#039;s offered on Direct TV and some comcast customers.) They are too young to get into other channels such as Disney, Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. Some of the %26quot;stupidest%26quot; shows grab their attention and they sit quietly and watch the episodes. WE all watch Noddy and Jakers Piggly Winks (actually a top rated kids show), but they love to also watch Angelina Ballerina, Kipper (why???)...but they will sit down and watch anything on that network. If you don%26#039;t have cable, these shows are offered in the mornings on PBS, maybe u could record them for those emergency situations when you need quiet time.
The 2 and 3 yr old watch tv w/us for a little bit at night, but that usually doesn%26#039;t last long.
Do your kids like movies? My son would insist on watching Finding NEmo, Shark Tale and the Incredibles OVER AND OVER. My second is into Barney..the 3rd is quiet, but she%26#039;s only 11 months old.
I%26#039;m sure threatening to change the channel isn%26#039;t the best parenting advice, but that works for me sometimes. They usually go sit quietly and continue watching their show.
I wish u luck.
Reply:The key would be finding something that interests all of them, unless you have more than one tv and want to split them up. You don%26#039;t say what their ages are so it%26#039;s hard to answer specifically. You could offer them a reward. Tell them if they will sit still and watch one show or one movie then you%26#039;ll take them to the park or do something they want to do. Tell them if they get up and move around or make a lot of noise they won%26#039;t get the reward. It%26#039;s pretty funny that some people offer tv as a reward and you might need to reward them for watching. Some of the PBS shows are good for kids of various ages. Mine like Curious George, Cyber Chase (yours might like this since they are active), Arthur, etc.
Reply:I think you should try to find something else that they enjoy doing. Maybe drawing or making crafts (most kids like to cut and glue stuff) or playing in a sand box where you can monitor them. Try not to encourage them to do anything competitive because it won%26#039;t be a break for you..you%26#039;ll be refereeing.

What should I give for my aunt who is about to graduate college ?
She is 33 year-old. Can you suggest me of anything inexpensive yet would give her a long lasting memory ? I%26#039;m thinking of an actual gift so don%26#039;t suggest to take her out for a dinner or gift card please. She doesn%26#039;t like fancy jewelry cosmetics or fancy shoes. A gift of around $30 is affordable to me. Any suggestions ?

Will The Following Get Me In Shape and How?
I%26#039;m an 18 yr old male, weighs 127.4 lbs and am 5 foot 6 inches. I%26#039;m considered skinny by others.
I want to get in shape, build muscle, etc....but all i have to use are the following at home.
1. Exersice Big Yoga Ball
2. 2 Dumbells
3. Running Shoes
4. Boxing Gloves and Punching Bag
5. Whey Protein Mix
6. ....and my cousin who lives a few blocks away has a bench to lift weights.
Can all this help me out? And how so?
(This is my 1st attempt to get in shape and am clueless)
How intense should my workouts be? How long should my workouts last? How long till i see results?
Will I have to change my life upsidedown?
Will The Following Get Me In Shape and How?
to build muscle you need to do weight training. when doing weight training dumbells and benching will work just fine. when working out you need to change up the routine a bit. meaning one day do heavy lifting with small reps, another day do light weight with many reps, and another day do medium weight until burnout. burnout meaning you can do another rep of the weight. you need to make sure you take in at least 130g of protein a day in which ways of the whey protein, chicken, tuna, steak, peanut butter, ect. when working out work out time should be anywhere from half hour to one and a half hours. i prefer about an hour. you need to make sure when working out you are only working out certain muscles on certain days meaning like chest and tris on day, bis and sholders another and legs another. workout no more than 3 days a week. remember that your body will repair itself on days that you dont work out so lots of rest is a must. doing it the natural way should take about 4-7 weeks to see results. ive been working out and doing research for nearly 7 years...hope that helps

You have a low body fat percentage, so when you build the muscle, you will look cut! And yes you must change your life upside down! You will not regret it! Freakin do it! Now! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
As far as excersizes, start low. You will be sore as hell, but it will be good. Gradually build up. Get a book or something. Do a search on routines. !!!!!!!
Reply:Well it comes down to you...
Whey protein is excellent but only if your working it hard can you even build up the muscle. So here is what I suggest.
Start slowly by running with your 2 dumbells and pump your arms when you run. Get some music going that gets you pumped, I prefer Eminem, for some reason his words and beat is great when I run.
Each day run a little farther or get bigger dumbells. You will just feel your arms, chest and legs tightening up and guess what that is the areas that are gonna make you look BUFF.
I would keep your routine simple and not complicated or you are less likely to do it. Eat allot of chicken, meat fish and veggies for the protein you will need. Don%26#039;t over due carbs (sugars and Starches) because they in an abundant quantity will hold you back.
And most of all enjoy yourself and push it when you feel like it when your running... keep your work out enjoyable...

How to prevent running injuries?
I started running track last semester, only about 2-3 miles a day, but then i got plantar fasciitis in my feet over the summer so i stopped running for more than 2 months. schools about to start and i%26#039;m a little worried whether I can start running again. My feet feel better, but they still feel kinda strained and I don%26#039;t want this to develop into something worse. my ankles and my toes crack a lot too. I recently got 2 new pairs of shoes : ASic%26#039;s gel 1110 with super feet and nike free because thats supposed to make your feet stronger and prevent injuries. which one should i use? what kind of stretches should i do before and after running?
How to prevent running injuries?
I have plantar fasciitis too and the doctor had to make inserts for my shoes. Before running, you should do various leg stretches. I wish I knew how to describe the leg stretches, but I really can%26#039;t . One of the big ones is the butterfly and you want to do other excercises that will stretch both the inside and the outside of your legs.
Reply:I need to know too! Im starting to run every other day...

I just moved to Florida and we have TONS of sandburs in our yard. How do I get rid of them?????
I have read that pulling them up would help but I have NO idea what the weed looks like to pull it up. Our yard was obviously not very well maintained by the people who lived here last. We only rent so I am not putting the $ into having the yard redone. Is there anything I can maybe mix with a grass seed and lay grass and %26quot;it%26quot; down together?
Any help would be appriciated. We have to put shoes on to walk to the hose!!!
Thanks all!
I just moved to Florida and we have TONS of sandburs in our yard. How do I get rid of them?????
I won%26#039;t repeat the other good advice here, but we also had alot of success from hanging an old sack behind the mower and dragging it as we cut the grass. It picks up alot of the sand spurs and helps give a little relief while the sprays and mowing are doing their work. Good Luck with it:)
Reply:Allow them to begin to go to seed. It%26#039;s the females you want to target, the base of their stems are slightly purple. They grow radially out from the mother plant. When you can see the seeds, gently pull the runners up toward the center of the plant, from seed head toward stem - they break easily, and root along the ground, a preservation of species thing. When you have all the runners up and locate the main root mass, pull out. Takes time, but because of their radial growth habit you%26#039;ll find there are less to pull than you first thought.
Mowing is NoT the solution, they%26#039;re perennials and will continue to come back. Weed killer will only cause them to produce an overabundance of seeds in order to procreate the species. Pulling is the best way. I can walk barefoot in my front yard now, took 2 seasons, but it can be done.
Here%26#039;s a visual, not the greatest, but you%26#039;ll get the idea:

Reply:Pulling plants out by hand will work but is too tedious for most people. Stripping off or rototilling under heavily infested areas and replacing them with fresh sod is another way to take care of the problem. But the new sod will have to be maintained well to prevent burs from coming in again.
Reply:Most broad leaf sprays or grannuals will do the trick used a couple times a year.The burs your walking on now are last years crop..that tells you how long it%26#039;s going to take to totally get rid of them.

Reply:1. in February or march out out a pre-emergence treatment, this will help keep seeds from germinating.
2. Treat with MSMA when you see sand burs coming up
3. Keep mowed short don%26#039;t let them go to seed
4. Build up your soil with good compost, sand burs like soils that are in poor condition.

I won%26#039;t repeat the other good advice here, but we also had alot of success from hanging an old sack behind the mower and dragging it as we cut the grass. It picks up alot of the sand spurs and helps give a little relief while the sprays and mowing are doing their work. Good Luck with it:)
Reply:Allow them to begin to go to seed. It%26#039;s the females you want to target, the base of their stems are slightly purple. They grow radially out from the mother plant. When you can see the seeds, gently pull the runners up toward the center of the plant, from seed head toward stem - they break easily, and root along the ground, a preservation of species thing. When you have all the runners up and locate the main root mass, pull out. Takes time, but because of their radial growth habit you%26#039;ll find there are less to pull than you first thought.
Mowing is NoT the solution, they%26#039;re perennials and will continue to come back. Weed killer will only cause them to produce an overabundance of seeds in order to procreate the species. Pulling is the best way. I can walk barefoot in my front yard now, took 2 seasons, but it can be done.
Here%26#039;s a visual, not the greatest, but you%26#039;ll get the idea:

Reply:Pulling plants out by hand will work but is too tedious for most people. Stripping off or rototilling under heavily infested areas and replacing them with fresh sod is another way to take care of the problem. But the new sod will have to be maintained well to prevent burs from coming in again.
Reply:Most broad leaf sprays or grannuals will do the trick used a couple times a year.The burs your walking on now are last years crop..that tells you how long it%26#039;s going to take to totally get rid of them.
luck
Reply:1. in February or march out out a pre-emergence treatment, this will help keep seeds from germinating.
2. Treat with MSMA when you see sand burs coming up
3. Keep mowed short don%26#039;t let them go to seed
4. Build up your soil with good compost, sand burs like soils that are in poor condition.

What is the problem with the brakes?
I own a Maruti 800. Its done about 37000 kms. The brakes are not that great. I%26#039;m not at all cofident especially when 4 people are sitting and i%26#039;m going at speeds more than 80. I%26#039;ve taken it to many mechanics and they all say that its fine. I%26#039;ve to put my hand brakes to the last notch. And I find some black coloured oil deposits on the front right wheel of my car.
What is the cost of a new set of brake pads and shoes?
What is the problem with the brakes?
You describe a leaking brake cylinder. The oil then gets on the brake linings and reduces the friction during braking.. Friction is braking so in essence you have little or no braking on that wheel. Also depending on the leak you would not be able to build good hydraulic pressure to the other brakes if you have one leaking.
You need to get those brakes checked and repaired !!!!!!
I am not familuar with your type of car, but it can%26#039;t be all that exspensive.
Reply:You have a leak in the front brake. Take it to the shop and they will be able to fix it. Since it is leaking the brake fluid is lubricating the brake shoes and they are not grabbing, thats why your brakes arent working so good. Either the caliper, if you have disc, or brake seals are leaking in the drum.
Reply:I loved The Brakes first album but after the guitarist left things have gone down hill.
Reply:The oil deposits may be from a split CV boot on your right front wheel drive axle. If the car doesn%26#039;t stop like it did when you bought it, besides having the brakes checked as you did for wear, it%26#039;s possible that the rear brakes aren%26#039;t doing their share of the braking because the hydraulic pressure regulator to the rear brakes isn%26#039;t working right. I would have a knowledgeable technician check the rear brake line pressures.
Reply:It%26#039;s most likely hydraulic fluide not oil, and if thats the cas then your brakes are leeking wich will cose lost of pressure to the pistons pushing the brake caliber. In another case it can also be oil leeking from your lubricant hose or your engine has a small leek from the headers. I recomend you bring in your car to a certified technician in the brand of your car.

How long do shoes last?
It depends on what kind, what brand, and how often you wear them.
How long do shoes last?
I wear Checkered Vans Slip Ons.
I have had them since I was 16 years old.
I am now 23 and I still wear em. Holes and all.
They have lasted a LONG time.
They are soooooooo comfty LOL
I assume Dancing shoes would last just as long.
Reply:I have 2 pairs for each style of Ballroom - a competition pair, that looks new and pretty, and a practice pair that used to be my competition pair but now is a bit dirty. They last about 10 months in each role.
Reply:I%26#039;ve used pointe shoes in one day. My new shoes though I%26#039;ve been using for a few months and are still strong.
Ballet flats can last up to a year. My character and tap shoes are still going strong for three years.
It all depends on how long you dance and how well you take care of your shoes and what type of material makes them.
Reply:Depends on how much you wear them and the quality of the shoe!
Reply:u need 2 keep them clean and don%26#039;t bend them the wrong way.
Reply:That depends on how many miles you walk on/in them and how you take care of them. Also, the material they are made of.
Reply:that depends on how often you wear them. I demolish my shoes because there%26#039;s some days that i don%26#039;t really take them off. ballet shoes should last you at least a year though. pointe shoes only have an 8 hour life span so those are different. taps will last you awhile, jazz are just like ballet shoes so they should last you awhile, but again it all depends on how often you use them.
Reply:tap shoes usually last until you outgrow them or until the screws are falling off and that will prolly take like eh...say maybe 3 years w/o out growing them?? maybe 2. ya thats right. mine usually only last a year cuz my feet grow every year. jazz shoes last until they get holes in them like in the toe. and until you outgrow them. like a year and a half depending on the brand and style..im talking about capezio brand shoes that are like the jazz boot style. ballet shoes are the same way as jazz. pointe shoes last until they are too small or the toes give out and the wood inside breaks...about 3 years w/o feet growing. lyrical foot paws last until the bottoms break which is about 2 years to 4 years tops. HOPE THIS HELPS! remember all this depends on the brand, style, and type or shoe.
Reply:It depends on what kind of shoes. Tap shoes and ballet slippers you can wear them until they%26#039;re worn out:) Pointe shoes on the other hand has a shorter shelf life. It could be a few months or a few weeks depending on how your dance schedule is.
Reply:Depends on how old you are if your feet are still growing, how much you walk in them, how well you take care of them
Reply:It depends on what type of shoes you are wearing. It also depends on the duration you wear them and how strong your feet are. For instance, if you are talking about pointe shoes and you have cvery strong feet and arches then your point shoes won%26#039;t last you nearly as long as someone whose feet are more weak than yours. Hope this helps.

How to heal a rolled ankle quickly?
I have rolled my ankles many times but they were and shoes and they healed quickly. This one i had flip flops on and my ankle gave out. It happened last night and i have school tomarrow and i can barely walk. I dont know how im going to be able to walk 3 flights of stairs when i cant walk. Is there a quick way to help it heal just so i can walk. No RICE method because it takes too long.
How to heal a rolled ankle quickly?
Foot in the air. Ice for 30 minutes. Warm for 40 minutes. Stay off it tonight, and wrap with a tensor or ace bandage tomorrow. When you wrap your ankle, make sure that the bandage goes under your foot and then around your ankle, hold your ankle in the flexed position while you wrap. Stay off it as much as possible. Unwrap, rub thoroughly but gently, and rewrap every four hours to maintain circulation.
Sadly, there is no other way to cure it.

What do you think of a guy in his 20s owning 19 ties?
I am 21 years old and have 19 ties already.
I admit I am probably the biggest straight male shopaholic in the world so I am not shocked. Also I do dress up a lot because I like to dress nice and I worked in an office last summer. I get them at places like Macys and Express.
So are ties to me like shoes are to some girls?
What do you think of a guy in his 20s owning 19 ties?
That is really good that you can admit you like shopping. I mean most girls would admire that...lol. But yes that is a really good thing...ties on young guys can be HOOTT!! So expecting you have good style sense keep buyiing more because their hottt..
Reply:There is nothing wrong with you having 19 ties especially if you work in an office and if your career is going to require you to wear a tie and suit...you go! my cousin has over 150 ties and i have no problem with that! your tie obsession is like my handbag obsession....but only the best!
Reply:there is nothing hotter than a man who dresses like that its so sophisticated. go head boy......
Reply:Hi there u shouldnt worry bout what other ppl think. If u like the ties keep the ties. But wear them cos u like them not cos ur trying to impress or be more mature. The important thing is do what u want not what other ppl want u o do.
Reply:definitely! You go boy!
Reply:Hot. As long as they%26#039;re good ties. Otherwise, thats weird to own 19 ugly-*** ties no matter how old you are.
Reply:haha my teacher had like 200 ties never wore the same one in a school year
Reply:it depends on your occupation. If you work at like Mc Donalds, then thats kinda odd. But if you wotk at abig corperation or a fancy resturant than thats ok
Reply:I have a lot of ties also so I am going to be biased in telling you its totally fine. It may be comparable to girls with their shoes, but one obvious difference there is ties take up a fraction of the space that shoes take up and they also tend to be a lot cheaper. So I wouldn%26#039;t even say its an over excessive amount of ties.
1) It is good to have a choice of tie to go with different shirts
2) If wearing ties often you don%26#039;t want to be seen always wearing the same tie
I think it is refreshing to see that a young person is wearing ties, it seems to have been a dying fashion this last decade. In fact I say 19 ties is not enough, get shopping for more :)
Reply:I think you don%26#039;t need 19 ties.
Reply:I would say yes. I just sold ten pairs of shoes, threw away three pairs, and still own about 15 pairs, and I%26#039;m 25. At least you have a job. =)
Reply:If ties to you are like shoes to me, hun you are doing GREAT!!!
Hi, my name is Susan and I have a shoe addiction. lol
At the ripe age of 15 I owned well over 100 pairs of shoes. Not exaggerating one bit. I know, I know, that%26#039;s horrible. But I did have my own little job and I did support my own habit.
Back to the ties...that is wonderful. I obviously don%26#039;t wear ties but found myself fighting the urge to buy one myself just the other day. It was Sponge Bob...don%26#039;t ask. lol So I can easily see where it would be easy to accumulate a small collection.
I think ties are attractive. It shows a mature side. Keep buyin%26#039; baby.
Reply:go get some more! 19 ties is enough but if you really wanna stand out make sure you dont repeat wearing in 2 mos!
Reply:Apparently. I collect even more earrings than shoes - I have well over a hundred pairs of earrings!
Now, you must do inventory.
1] how many of each color ties do you have?
brown
red
maroon
orange
yellow
green
blue
navy
purple
gray
black
multicolor
2] Are any of them obscene? Throw it out!
Light up? - hide it
Ragged - get rid of it, or re-cycle it
3] Do you have any interesting ties? Any with something besides solids and stripes? Any for holidays [ gotta have a Christmas tie! ]
Make sure you get some special interest ties - like fishing, golfing, martinis, whatever you like. Girls like guys with ties - it gives them something to talk about.
My husband has 50+ ties [ when he left the military in %26#039;94, he had 4 ties! ]
My Dad had a rack that held 12 DOZEN TIES! Completely full, mind you. You have about 30 years to catch up with him.
Reply:Yes I think so. There is nothing wrong with having variety. That%26#039;s why I have about 70 pairs of shoes...lol But, I think you need 21 ties to make things right!

How do I let go of my past? How can I "fix" my attitude & personality?
Last night I watched a shoe on a local channel, a boy %26amp; a girl (both in their early 20%26#039;s) were talking about such issues as at what age to have sex, or protection, or Baby Mommas, about commitment or being %26quot;stuck%26quot;. Anyway, the girl was just amazing, her opinion was exactly how I felt %26amp; overall she came across as a young woman that knows herself %26amp; that made her very attractive to me (in a non sexual way) I was just like wow she is so awsome! So she talked about her first time %26amp; how she was 18 %26amp; she talked to her Mom about it %26amp; so on %26amp; I started thinking about my train wreck childhood, abut my past, about all the mistakes I made %26amp; how they have contributed to my current state of mind %26amp; life. I was sad because I wish I had a glow like that, I wish I didnt have all this baggage %26amp; this sad traumatic past, I wish I could talk about good things instead of all these sad things I have been through. So do you know how you can become a better person %26amp; build a positive image of an intriguing woman
How do I let go of my past? How can I %26quot;fix%26quot; my attitude %26amp; personality?
You are already on your way. I am a mature fellow, wife, children %26amp; grand children, and I seem to be always on the lookout to %26quot;refine%26quot; myself. (that aging with grace thing). It is a minute by minute, day by day process. It is also a situational process. In other words if you find yourself involved in a challenging social situation and it is one that you have experienced before, you may have not liked your %26quot;reaction%26quot; or %26quot;feelings%26quot; you had the last time. It may be an excellent opportunity to %26quot;redefine yourself%26quot;. Life is filled with those opportunities and that is when you present the %26quot;YOU%26quot; that you wish others to see. Of course, don%26#039;t be surprised if someone else doesn%26#039;t see the you that you are trying to project, (unpredictable human nature), just be patient. As far as your past is concerned, try not to be an %26quot;open book%26quot;. It will always be with you, but, you should control it and not the other way around. I wish I could have been better as a child, but, I wasn%26#039;t. Nobody cares, so I am polite, and as nice as possible without being neurotic. (I hope) I like being like that, my family likes me that way,and they enjoy my company. Actually they think it%26#039;s funny the way I try not being angry. You should read about other peoples lives and it may give you a better understanding of who and why we are in this %26quot;culture%26quot; (there are so many factors). I have a friend who had a %26quot;sad%26quot; childhood. Ignored by his parents, had to be taken in by neighbors on a day by day basis. He mentions it sometimes, but, mostly he talks about how happy he is and how great things are going now that he is close to retirement, ( I really just want to tell him to shut the **** up ), but, he is my freind so I just tell him I%26#039;m happy for him. Bottom line, nobody is perfect. If you want to strive for it that is good, just be realistic if you fall short from time to time,and don%26#039;t be hard on yourself. You can be who ever you choose to be. Just remember, nobody likes a Whiner. Dont%26#039; forget the body language! Good luck!
Reply:You let go of your past by concentrating on the present...and on the many positive things that might be happening in your life. On the many positive values and attitudes you have.
By doing something you love doing. By helping others - only then you might realize just how lucky you are. You are aware of how your past has shaped you, and your present position...but use it to your advantage!
And as far as the show is concerned - they took the girl precisely because of how she appeals to the audience. They even guided her in answering the questions, under the right lighting, with the right make -up.
Even if her life might of been %26quot;easier%26quot; than yours she might be a wreck now. Good memories unfortunately don%26#039;t guarantee a good future.
Reply:To let go of your past: Get a pad of paper and start writing. Acknowledge what happened and how you feel. Give yourself time to processes the facts and the feelings. Accept yourself and your feelings. Then say, OK, it happened. Let%26#039;s move on. Forgive yourself and be gentle with yourself; then make some new choices. Forgiveness means you don%26#039;t bring it up anymore. Once you pour it out on paper, cry about it, acknowledge it, let it go. you can%26#039;t change the past, only your perception of it. Once you acknowledge and feel your own feelings, you will feel like you%26#039;ve lost all your baggage. You just need to take all the time you need to go through this process. When you are done, you will have that glow. I promise.
Reply:First you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and look for ways to overcome your %26quot;poor pitiful me%26quot; attitude. I know very few people that have had a perfect childhood yet they are well balanced and happy. We%26#039;ve all made mistakes so take responsibility for yours and learn from them. Stop placing the blame on anyone but yourself.
Reply:jsut remember this that afetr every dark night there is a shiny clean day.
the same was with me.but i forget my past and i started living with positve attitudes.
remember the winner always has hurddles.
the looser have no hurddle so he loose
so dont be dissapoint

How do I let go of my past? How can I %26quot;fix%26quot; my attitude %26amp; personality?
You are already on your way. I am a mature fellow, wife, children %26amp; grand children, and I seem to be always on the lookout to %26quot;refine%26quot; myself. (that aging with grace thing). It is a minute by minute, day by day process. It is also a situational process. In other words if you find yourself involved in a challenging social situation and it is one that you have experienced before, you may have not liked your %26quot;reaction%26quot; or %26quot;feelings%26quot; you had the last time. It may be an excellent opportunity to %26quot;redefine yourself%26quot;. Life is filled with those opportunities and that is when you present the %26quot;YOU%26quot; that you wish others to see. Of course, don%26#039;t be surprised if someone else doesn%26#039;t see the you that you are trying to project, (unpredictable human nature), just be patient. As far as your past is concerned, try not to be an %26quot;open book%26quot;. It will always be with you, but, you should control it and not the other way around. I wish I could have been better as a child, but, I wasn%26#039;t. Nobody cares, so I am polite, and as nice as possible without being neurotic. (I hope) I like being like that, my family likes me that way,and they enjoy my company. Actually they think it%26#039;s funny the way I try not being angry. You should read about other peoples lives and it may give you a better understanding of who and why we are in this %26quot;culture%26quot; (there are so many factors). I have a friend who had a %26quot;sad%26quot; childhood. Ignored by his parents, had to be taken in by neighbors on a day by day basis. He mentions it sometimes, but, mostly he talks about how happy he is and how great things are going now that he is close to retirement, ( I really just want to tell him to shut the **** up ), but, he is my freind so I just tell him I%26#039;m happy for him. Bottom line, nobody is perfect. If you want to strive for it that is good, just be realistic if you fall short from time to time,and don%26#039;t be hard on yourself. You can be who ever you choose to be. Just remember, nobody likes a Whiner. Dont%26#039; forget the body language! Good luck!
Reply:You let go of your past by concentrating on the present...and on the many positive things that might be happening in your life. On the many positive values and attitudes you have.
By doing something you love doing. By helping others - only then you might realize just how lucky you are. You are aware of how your past has shaped you, and your present position...but use it to your advantage!
And as far as the show is concerned - they took the girl precisely because of how she appeals to the audience. They even guided her in answering the questions, under the right lighting, with the right make -up.
Even if her life might of been %26quot;easier%26quot; than yours she might be a wreck now. Good memories unfortunately don%26#039;t guarantee a good future.
Reply:To let go of your past: Get a pad of paper and start writing. Acknowledge what happened and how you feel. Give yourself time to processes the facts and the feelings. Accept yourself and your feelings. Then say, OK, it happened. Let%26#039;s move on. Forgive yourself and be gentle with yourself; then make some new choices. Forgiveness means you don%26#039;t bring it up anymore. Once you pour it out on paper, cry about it, acknowledge it, let it go. you can%26#039;t change the past, only your perception of it. Once you acknowledge and feel your own feelings, you will feel like you%26#039;ve lost all your baggage. You just need to take all the time you need to go through this process. When you are done, you will have that glow. I promise.
Reply:First you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and look for ways to overcome your %26quot;poor pitiful me%26quot; attitude. I know very few people that have had a perfect childhood yet they are well balanced and happy. We%26#039;ve all made mistakes so take responsibility for yours and learn from them. Stop placing the blame on anyone but yourself.
Reply:jsut remember this that afetr every dark night there is a shiny clean day.
