My feet are bony and ugly, with loooooooooooong toes and a space big enough to fit a whole other toe. When I see others feet, they ALWAYS look WAY more attractive than mine, sooooooooooo, in general, most peoples feet are attractive, cute and sexy.
haha...this is a HUGE running joke for us with the Australians. None of them can get over how beautiful my feet are....they comment on it ALOT....it's creepy. The only thing we can work out is that australians where flip flops or go barefoot year round, so their feet get pretty ragged. mine were relatively protected til i moved here, so they look great in comparison....whatever. you see alot of feet here in OZ, i have to say....i'm pretty down with it.
Some have cute feet and some don't. Men generally have not so cute feet though because they're hairy and hairiness grosses me out. Some girls have cute feet though, I guess.
Three questions: Are we talking about hygiene or looks? Men's feet or women's? And are you arguing with a man or woman?
Looks: Most of men's look gross; women's are about half and half (have you ever been getting a pedicure and looked around at the other feet? Wow. I could never have that job).
Hygiene: Gross all around. Nail fungus, plantar warts, athlete's foot, sweat (and the bacteria that loves the sweat and makes them stinky)...
Perspective: Women are more likely to think they are gross. But I know lots of guys with a "thing" for feet. I even know guys who are distracted by "toe cleavage" because it reminds them of the other kind of cleavage (toe cleavage is when your shoe doesn't cover all the way to the end of your toes and you can see a little bit of the crack between your big toe the next one).
Let me add this: Rom. 10:15 - "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" So I guess it depends on whether you are preaching the gospel or not. :)
Men's feet--- generally gross. Old people feet----generally gross with thick yellow toenails. Women's feet--- usually okay, especially if they get pedicures. Baby feet-----gorgeous. I am not grossed out by feet but neither would I want a job handling them all the time. Ha!
Sounds great. :o) Glad to know you are working on it, too. The kids complain a LOT about the memorizing, but I have gotten so many great benefits out of it that I want them to see that side of it. I wish I had started sooner!
I don't remember if I have asked you this before or not... but, why do you start from the end?
generally i would not call adult feet cute, or attractive, though i am not of the opinion that they are utterly heinous looking either. and some people do have nice feet, so i'd lean more towards the fan of feet side.
but unless i'm remembering all wrong, i think you once told me that you love pictures of feet, so i'd guess you're a fan, too.
either way, i'm not in the state to claim the meal the question is riding on, so....no worries if i'm wrong.
Depends on the feet. Baby feet are always attractive and cute. My dh thinks I have cute feet. I happen to like his feet. This doesn't help you at all. I'll take the next question, please. :)
haha! it seems that we are very opinionated on the highly important topic of feet! hairy feet are disgusting. baby feet are kissable and pure sweetness. some women have sexy feet if they are well kept. but, if we are trying to make a generalization, i would say that feet are generally unattractive. most men have gross feet. lots of women do not keep neat feet. most old feet are not pleasant. all babies have wonderful feet. maybe you need a vinn diagram.
hi, how are jenna, lucy, andrew, and brady? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooxxoxoxoyddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyydddddddddddddddddddddddddddllllllllkujhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tonight is a night of feeling things. The joy in the house was popping from room to room and child to child as Todd put up our outside white lights. The kids were running around like giddy school girls in the yard, passing him things, offering help. Even Jenna grabbed a random grocery sack and slung it over her arm, declaring "I'm helping Daddy, Mama. I help." What she doesn't know won't hurt her. We finally got smart and replaced the 6 year old lights that caused weeping and gnashing of teeth each year. Strangely enough, the new ones went up in less than an hour without any consternation. At the end of the process, Brady declared them "very, very beautiful." And Christmas has come to the Snapp house.
But on the other hand, I have the very pervasive feeling that I will soon be saluting my very ancient, very honorable, very loved grandfather one final time. He fell yesterday morning at 3 a.m. while getting up to use the restroom. That fall caused him to break his arm just below the shoulder socket in a very nasty way. And he laid there for 10 hours until another very ancient man sent someone to his room, because he hadn't shown up for breakfast or lunch. That part of the story makes me as sad as anything. That he laid there for 10 hours unable to move and not quite lucid enough to yank the cord in his bathroom that would bring him some help. He's having surgery tomorrow, which the doctors do not want to do and don't think he's up for. But the other option is to live in extreme discomfort for a long time and lose the use of that arm. This is aging. You don't make it to 94 without some stumbling, I suppose. He's ready to go. He hasn't been truly in this world since my grandmother passed nearly 2 years ago.
So for now, we will look with joy on our lights, and wait anxiously to see what the next week holds. Family comes on Monday night, which is very good.
And through it all, I think to myself: There just aren't enough hours in the day for holiday Hallmark movies. Man.
That is so sad. He's such a good man. I'm praying for him. I fear that will happen to my dad one day since he lives alone and refuses to wear one of those medical alert things. Hopefully not. I know a woman that fell and laid in her house for a day and 1/2 before she was found. She's OK now and living in a nursing home.
I am very sorry and feel terrible that he did lay there not knowing if someone was going to come. I sure hope the surgery goes well and he will heal, will keep your family in my thoughts. Thankful for that other person that came.
I love Christmas lights but we didn't put any up at our house, in fact we didn't even get a Christmas tree, I figured why spend the money and go to the trouble if we'll be in FL...I'll just enjoy my moms Christmas decorations instead.
I'm sorry about your grandpa, it's hard to know what to pray for sometimes when they get to that point, I will be praying for him though and all of you guys.
I never watched holiday movies as a kid. We watched the half hour kiddie specials, but never the full feature films that many of you rave about. I have never seen White Christmas. I only saw It's a Wonderful Life by accident as a high school student because I was sick in bed. I'm the one that told the rest of my family about it and they had never heard of it. Maybe people didn't watch as much tv back then. Not sure. Maybe we just were in a cave. Either way, I'd like to ramp up now and see some good holiday movies.
Tell me:
What's your all time favorite holiday movie and why?
Which ones would be good for family viewing (kids are small...) and which are over their heads?
I'd like to have a Top Ten MUST See list.
Thanks.
Not on the list:
The Dora episode with the Coqui Frog. I am about ready to take a shovel to my head...or Dora's.
My kids laugh at me because I can't stand most of the kiddie holiday movies - because I don't like claymation or the stop motion animation. Those little felt people bother me! They also think I am nuts because I can't stand movies with dwarfs or people wearing ape suits (Planet of the Apes). Probably more info than you really needed.
As for favorite Christmas movies - White Christmas. I love Bing Crosby! A Charlie Brown Christmas is also a favorite.
There are several versions of A Christmas Carol. I've heard the one that is out now is not really for children, but there are others more appropriate. This is a classic theme they should know about.
As far as kiddie christmas, my very favorite was Rudolph. I related to the misfit toys, I think. We all love Charlie Brown, good music, too.
I'm a little twisted, so I like Christmas Vacation. I also like Christmas with the Kranks and Elf and A Christmas Story. I wouldn't recommend any for young kids. The Santa Clause had some cute elements, but it is always about divorced parents - why are they always about divorced parents? White Christmas and another similar one is good, but your kids might not sit and watch it unless they enjoy random singing of old corny tunes.
A Muppet Christmas Carol, for sure. Nightmare before Christmas (good for Christmas OR Halloween). And I have always thought of While You Were Sleeping as a Christmas movie because it is set during Christmas...but I watch that one several times a year, year round. :)
I'll shout out a warning regarding A Christmas Story. It has been awhile since I'd seen it and we were watching it through Netflix. Mistake! It had a lot of cursing in just the first 10 minutes. If you have the tv guardian you could pull it off. It's a funny movie.
We all enjoy The Muppet Christmas Carol. I personally love White Christmas.
We watch It's a wonderful Life every year and I cry every time when the old drunk druggist hits the little boy(George) and he begs "Please don't hit my sore ear again!" And at the end when people rally around to help George when he's in trouble. There are so many lessons to be learned from this story. I love Elf. The "How the Grinch stole Christmas" (cartoon version) is also good.
Miracle on 34th St. (1947) I love the remastered, color version Amazon has now for $7.99.
Anthony can't live without Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, (2000). This is Jim Carrey's version, and though I don't much like most of his films, this one is pretty funny. There is one scene you'll probably want to ff through... where the Grinch has the mayor - while sleeping - kiss his dog's rear end.
The Muppet Christmas Carol--a yearly favorite, great for the whole family.
Holiday Inn--Bing Crosby yumminess....whole family
White Christmas--Nothing is better...whole family
Little Women (the one w, Winona Rider)...whole family
The Polar Express....whole family
Elf....we watched this with the kids and did not find it problematic, but we have looser boundaries than some.
A Christmas Story.....love it, language is an issue, but themes are terribly funny!
It's A Wonderful Life, sweet for the whole family
It's a Wonderful Life (OUR VERY VERY FAVORITE)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original cartoon)
Home Alone (one and two)
I personally really, really HATE a Christmas Story. I don't think there is anything funny about that bratty kid and the gross humor and bad language.
Hmm. Now I remember why I shouldn't recommend movies or books. We certainly had the edited version of A Christmas Story or we never would have watched it or let the kids watch it.
Elf is funny, White Christmas and Holiday Inn are classic! I like the Grinch too. Just watched It's a Wonderful Life and it wasn't near as painful as I remembered. I thought it was like 3 hours -- maybe this was the TV version?
Oh man, how can that be??? Growing up it was always, Holiday Inn, White Christmas, The Bishops wife (remake was The Preacher's Wife with Denzel Washington), Miracle on 34th St. with Natalie Wood, It's A Wonderful Life, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, The Grinch and Frosty the Snowman. No peticular order. EVERY year, always those.
I have always loved the Little House on the Prairie show, and there are two Christmas episodes that always get to me. One is from the very beginning of the series (with Mr. Edwards), and another involves Laura and her horse (love this one). Ever seen these?
Elf, The Grinch (Jim Carey version), White Christmas, miracle on 34th street, and Polar Express. - my whole family enjoys all of these! We laugh the hardest in Elf. And if you want to cry, watch Little Women. We do watch these on our clear play, but I think several of them don't need it. Check out the reviews on screenit.com I know the grinch has a very brief boobie scene I'm NOT fond of that I think the clearplay doesn't cut out. Happy holiday movie watching!!!
I choose to forget incidents like finding the open-capped Sharpie pen and the path of destruction created by permanent ink and a wily 20-month-old. I do still remember this, as it happened Thursday, but I hope I never forget the really glorious moments. Here's a clip from almost 3 years ago. I truly had forgotten how adorable Brady's voice was at age 2. He does a bang-up British accent, too.
Mmm.
We all need a pause button!!!! They grow to fast:( Sweet babies.
yes, they are pretty good buds! They are 18 months apart- how close are your girls? I'm glad to hear you say it keeps getting better- the first 8 months or so were TOUGH!!
oh he is soooo cute. gotta love those sharpies! i keep mine way up high but an occasional determined child who'd like a beating sometimes gets to one....
ahhhhh, he is precious and so is jenna bouncing and talking in her jumper!!! ack! what in the world did you do? paint? the precious moments definitely make up for the yucky ones...i think? i'm really not sure because Saturday we had a long lost cousin come for a surprise visit and while he was here mattiejo took off her diaper, pooped, and then proceeded to smear it all over her clean sheets, her brand new handmade by my mother quilt, and herself (including IN her mouth). y u c k. hmmmm...maybe it might make me feel better to see sharpie on your walls? a sharpie video? hmmmm?
Her name is Abbey Saxton. She lives in Lithia. She did Maleia and Malachi's birth pictures. She is amazing. She didn't do the retreat pictures from last year but she was supposed to do them this year. She is now a good friend of ours and we are working on her coming to church soon. She is due with her first baby next month and her and her husband are looking for a church. She is going to slow down on the photography when her daughter arrives. Anyway, we love her and love her work!
of course it's lucy - i just didn't take the time to do the math...too busy cleaning up poop and such, i guess! ;-) regardless, it's very nice to know that she outgrew the nasty habit and that my child is not the only one who has ever done that. ugh!
Hey I need to find out when Aldi brings in its produce and stuff like that---I hear that it is great tho--i have been there did not buy--but not impressed but when you are used to publix then it is a HUGE diff. but hey--I tell my self why be so narrow minded--I want to get a fruit/veggie co=op going. and then there are some co-ops that buy a side of a cow and then devide it it is to be cheaper--just ideas!
Here's a note from the father of Josh McBryde. If you have a few extra bucks, this is a worthy cause. If not, don't sweat it. More soon from Indian Shores, FL.
To all those concerned:
I would like to extend my greatest and deepest appreciation for your caring thoughts and prayers at the recent loss of my son. Such a great loss is eased by such love and concern. My heart is lightened by your readiness to be moved so deeply and words cannot express how thankful I am, how humbled I am by your reaching out to me.
Josh did not take to flowers so much, so in lieu of flowers and because of the unexpected nature of the circumstances, a memorial fund has been established to help offset the funeral expenses. Donations may be made at any Alarion Bank or mailed to
Alarion Bank
2510 SE Maricamp Rd
Ocala, FL 34471
Checks should be made payable to Heather McBryde. Please denote account #130001142 or "Joshua McBryde memorial Fund" in the memo. If you need additional information, please contact Dalila @ Alarion Bank (352-547-1242).
My son's widow, Heather McBryde, also extends her deepest thanks and appreciation for your thoughtfulness and concern. Her own personal address is 5340 SE 108th Place in Belleview, FL 34420.
Thank you again for your effort and prayers put forth in reaching out to us during this time. Our hearts are truly touched. Many thanks and God bless.
With Deepest Sincerity,
Randall McBryde
We went to the service tonight. It was a very touching and well thought out. There were a lot of people there and a lot of friends and classmates of Josh's and Heather's. Randy made sure to announce at the end of the service that everyone who was in the area on Sunday was invited back to worship services. It just goes to show how sincere he really is in all he says.
No, I don't know Heather. I'm really not sure how he met Heather. I'm thinking they may have met after he got back from his tours in Iraq. One of the speakers talked about how he wrote letters home while he was gone and they talked about his love for God, family and friends. He didn't mention Heather, so I kind of thought maybe they met afterwards. But, I'm not sure. We only got to see all the family from a distance. We didn't make it to the viewing before hand. But at the service as they all walked in, they appeared to be handling it. I saw Jamie and I think I saw Brittany, but not certain. I feel like she was, but that I might havve just overlooked her...I haven't seen her in a while. Anyway, I saw some tears from them during the service, but afterwards as we were leaving they were sitting there talking to family and appeared to be managing. I wanted to speak to them, but there just really wasn't an opportunity. From the number of people that were at the service, I know the family is being well taken care of during this VERY difficult time.

2. ugly

and 4th stinky!
I do appreciate you being specific about it being ADULT and not childrens feet, or elderly feet.
I don't remember if I have asked you this before or not... but, why do you start from the end?
but unless i'm remembering all wrong, i think you once told me that you love pictures of feet, so i'd guess you're a fan, too.
either way, i'm not in the state to claim the meal the question is riding on, so....no worries if i'm wrong.
