LOL, we used to go downtown to Minute Man because they had that "Radar Range" that they used S
for their apple pies. We were thrilled at the notion. Nobody had ever heard of a microwave before.
The biggest treat to us was getting to go out for a burger, the Radar Range was just a bonus!
Walking
Your probably right, I need to get out of this chair and go outside and walk.
just walking away
I am not gonna sit here and aruge with a batch of idiots about wanting to stay home and raise my kids, and maybe try to make some money while I do that.
ROTFLMAO - NO! I would not be seen walking my cat in this - but then again
I don't buy my dog Christmas presents either. Year-round rawhides, but no Christmas, Valentines, etc. So you would never see me walking a kitty in a stroller!
Walking 30 minutes per day sm
with the dogs (all 160 pounds worth!) has my back and the leg cramps have nearly disappeared as well as the lower leg edema. I can actually sit longer now and don't need so much in the way of pain meds and no heating pad for the leg cramps. And other benefits too, lost 5 pounds, concentrate better, sleep better, fresh air.
let ur fingers do the walking
No....but I transcribed asleep once. I was working 3rd shift and dozed off. I don't know how I managed to work the foot pedal and my C-phone and go through several reports. Luckily for me I woke up and realized what I had done. I scrambled to put my last several reports on hold to check them before the doctor received them who was one hallway over. It scared me so bad I wasn't sleepy for the rest of the night. I've never let myself sit there that sleepy anymore either. I get up and walk around to get myself more alert. Funny thing was I was not transcribing what the doctor was saying. I was using some of their phrases. I guess I would hear a word and it would trigger my memory and I would type a regular phrase. Scared the bejeebers outta me that is for sure!
Keep walking. Best thing for you!
Get a pedometer, pick up the pace and the distance after a bit and keep it up. I lost 20 lbs. walking and I felt so much better.
Don't get discouraged. It might take a few months, but keep it up and you'll be happy you did.
And drink lots of water too.
Good luck!!!
You act like all women are walking wombs..SM
just existing until we do the greatest of all things, BEAR A CHILD. No thanks lady. You have 'em. I don't need to have a child to validate myself in the world.
Just some daily walking would probably shake it for you, too. nm

You sound VERY down, which is why kids are walking all over you..
If mine don't do what is expected of them, they don't get what is expected of me. All 3 of mine know that if their clothes don't find their way into the laundry room, I don't wash them. If they don't bring their clean folded clothes up from the laundry each day, I bring it up and deliver it via "air mail" which means I carry them up and toss them 3 feet into the air and let them rain down onto the floor of their rooms. If they don't care, neither do I. They can let their rooms be pig pens all week long, but then they will spent hours cleaning it up on the weekend including changing sheets and vacuuming the carpet, OR, they can keep it neat, put some clean sheets on once a week, and be on their way. You gotta be stronger and tougher than them, otherwise they're walking all over you.
like walking into a room for something but forgetting what it was !
And I always thought the idea of walking the dog was for exercise! - nm

Walking will not only improve your physical health
but probably your mental health too. You'll get fresh air, take time to smell the roses, meet your neighbors, etc.
Unfortunately I live in the county and we are 8+ miles from anything.
I would agree with the walking. And drink lots of
water.
I actually lost 20 lbs. after I started to work at home. No pastries, donuts, pies and candy in the break room anymore. :) And I've had time to walk and I drink water instead of tons of coffee with cream and sugar. Of course I still have my one cup in the morning so I won't yell at the kids. :)
Truth is, as an MT, I can't afford pastries or gourmet coffee. The water comes out of the faucet and the exercise membership, i.e. walking the dog around the neighborhood is free!
Worked for me. Give it a month. You'll not only lose the 10 lbs., you'll really feel great.
Oh, but I miss walking over the train tracks! sm
It's Christmas, my youngest is 21 and God how I miss stepping over the trains! He had to have a new one every year and I stepped over them all year long! Miss the kids when they were young! You guessed right, no grandkids yet and am patiently waiting.... I do have a granddog though and he comes over to play.....LOL
Watching CNN - New Orleans. See people walking through water (sm)
A thought comes to mind. I would be afraid to just walk around in the water. Isn't there a chance that either sharks or gators could have come inland with the water?

You have to schedule a time for 1/2 hr of walking or aerobic exercise once a day. It's the

Try shopping around
There are a lot of lenders out there that will finance less than perfect credit. There is a lender who can probably give you a higher interest rate, then within the next couple years, get your credit score cleaned up (there are lots of tips on how to do that on the internet) and refinance to get a better rate as soon as you can get your score up. Be careful paying anything off that is on your credit report if it is getting ready to come off. That will leave it on there for a longer time. Get on the internet and read about your credit score and what you can do.
Sorry, that should be: No shopping FOR me, but....

shopping
Don't you always have that ONE gift that you have to search high and low for? Well, that's me today! An oriental rug (with particular colors of course!) for my brother's new house! Especially here in Texas where is it 68 degrees, it's hard to get in the spirit!
SUV shopping
We are going to start shopping for a used SUV, less than 20K, probably 2003 to 2005 depending on model. Leaning towards Ford or GM models, mid size, but right now open to most anything.
Can any of you who own SUVs comment on what you own and what you like/dislike about it? TIA :)
Shopping around...
Hi Everyone...I am new to this board and would like some advice from experienced MT's out there! I have been working for a company for the past three years and things aren't quite panning out to my satifaction lately. I'm thinking of applying for other jobs with more benefits. Here's my question - What do you guys do when you aren't happy with your present employment? Do you list your current employer on your resume? Okay....What I'm getting at is this >>>>Will my present employer be contacted for a reference check, etc. should I be considered for another job?
Any help would be appreciated...Thanks!
Shopping for my home.
Need some bargains that end of summer brings.
school shopping w/my 14 YOD
I think I'd rather be working!!!  this is me at the mall w/her!!! Looking at the same pair of jeans for the 100th time, trying to decide if she likes them!!!
shopping at Wal-Mart
Our Wal-Mart Superstore is supposed to be ready by October and it is only 20 blocks from my house. It has been open for about five years and now they are turning it into a superstore. Im ready. I know some of my political friends ask how could I shop there as they dont have benefits for their employees, LOLOLOL, heck, my trans company does not provide me with any benefits either..so, sure I feel the employees pain but I need to provide for my family and that comes first..I cant wait till Wal-Mart Superstore opens, then I can do my grocery and department store shopping all at once while my car is being serviced in their automotive area.
Thanks! I do most of my Christmas shopping
Love the fact that I can work and shop at the same time! And it's all delivered to me!
on-line shopping
Just curious about on-line shopping. What are the best on-line stores to shop in -- any opinions? I'm talking clothes for teenagers, accessories, books, DVDs, etc.
Internet shopping
I have to rank in the top ten of Internet shoppers. I have bought more at Amazon.com than most people buy at Wal-Mart. My credit card company sends an end-of-year statement that looks like a booklet! I have never had any problems with Amazon.com. I've bought, books, DVDs, videos, appliances, toys, furniture, you name it. I've never had a shipping problem, and if I had to return anything there were no problems. The only things I haven't bought at Amazon is clothes and perishable items. I have bought clothing and things from Eddie Bauer with no problems.... And then there's all those specialty shops! Bath and Body Works has finally gone to internet shopping! Anyway, you get the idea. Happy clicking!
No shopping but me, but did you see the lady with the wig?
NM :)
DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

secret shopping
Have you found any shops that will pay you more than $10.00 or less? I haven't!
My husband usually does the shopping
I do remember from several years back that local grocery stores would not allow their employees to accept tips because they were paid at least minimum wage already. This seemed unusual to me as I grew up in a military household, and on base (Eglin A.F.B.), the baggers there worked for tips only.
mortgage shopping
Hi, this board is so helpful regarding so many different things, I thought I'd ask about my current dilema. Just sold my home in SE New Mexico, moving to Albuquerque. Obviously a site built home is the easiest one to get a mortgage for at low interest rates (I have excellent credit), but because of the cost I'm also looking at manufactured/mobile homes on their own land and in a park. This is just for me and my dog, so I don't need anything large anyway. Does anyone have any advice regarding buying a modular/mobile home as I have never owned one before? Thank you for any thoughts you might have regarding this.
Shopping for new carpet but not sure
I have 4 animals so it would have to be durable. My budget does not allow for anything but carpet and the one I have has had it.
Can anyone suggest an attractive yet durable carpet? I also wonder about the glue and will there be fumes?
Thank you for your time.
One Word - SHOPPING!!!!!
An when the weather permits - beachin' it!  Luvin' that IC status, or take a PTO day just for sanity to rejuv and get in a new groove!  Spring is here! Have some friends over, let your hair down...  You'll be surprised how great you feel! JMO. 
My best friend and I are going Christmas shopping....
I'm getting as many gifts as I can put on layaway this weekend. I am determined to finish early this year so I can enjoy the holiday. After shopping, we are going to dinner and mabye a movie. 
Who had fun shopping on "Black Friday"? - I did - sm
but I go without a "toy" agenda (did my toy shopping Monday and Tuesday so I had everything I wanted already), just go to get my kids and husband clothes mainly at great prices and to have fun with the kids--continuing the "tradition" that I had with my mom. Got myself a 1 GB Verbatin "Store 'n Go" since my zip disks are dying, $40 (reg. price $90), another great deal! I bought my DH 4 good dress shirts normally $136, for $62, can't beat that. Kohl's was packed so unfortunately did not get anything there like I would have liked to, the line was halfway to the back of the store but Sears and Penney's were fine, stood in line for 10 minutes tops, can live with that. Well off to do some work now......luckily not too tired to bang out 40 minutes or so. Have a good weekend! 
Shopping - yes, making gifts - no
I still have pictures to frame and pillows to finish sewing and stuffing.
Absolutely not. I took today off so I can get my shopping done.
It's also been 50 degrees here with no snow and no money, so I'm not in the mood for Christmas. We've all got viral respiratory infections. I had maybe three hours of sleep last night. I have no idea what anybody wants or needs. Time to go spend my stash of gift cards and coupons on people. Next year, I'm going to do it right. Are you sorry you asked? ;D
Just found out they are here local! Going shopping nt

what is a "hacker-free" shopping site? nm

a shopping site free of hackers maybe?
Okay shopping for a house and I found new construction.
The name of the street is Wild Turkey Walk. I refuse to buy a house on Wild Turkey Walk. Another street is Squirrel Run. How does a person come up with these names? I want the job of naming streets in new subdivisions. Has anyone been shopping for houses, new or old, and refused to live on a silly named street?
I agree - no shopping for me on BF. I will go next week or 2 or on line. nm
