Not sure about Muslims, but I have an Orthodox Jewish co-worker, and he has similar concepts of modesty. He has said he does not expect non-Jews to conform to his standards of modesty. It may be the same for Muslims.
So I have flat feet and am a severe overpronater. I usually have to use motion control shoes when I run. I started out in Asics, and moved on to Brooks for more support. I decided to try something different, based on multiple recommendations.
I got a pair of Nike Free 3.0 v2. These have very thin, flexible soles-pretty much the opposite of my stiff MC shoes.
So far I am loving them! My legs are definitely sore the day after a run, due to my using muscles I haven't worked in a while.
I would recommend these shoes to someone who likes the concepts of barefoot or minimalist running, but aren't quite there. These shoes pretty much force me to not heel strike.
What running shoes do you prefer?
I am concerned that no one has pointed out the Africa isn't a country to a few of the earlier posters...
:tongue_smilie:
But that irritation was erased by somebody else posting a West Wing reference...that made me happy again.
Next week we will be traveling in Texas, and we are going to rent a car. My two older girls are in Graco High Back Turbo Booster seats, and the newborn is in a Graco Snugride 22.
Do you know if these would fit in either a Chevy Impala, or a Buick Lucerne? Or are we better off with the Caravan? And how is the trunk size? Thanks in advance!
Nice. We just got a refurbed Nook Color from Overstock last week for $179...still a good deal though.
And not to start a political discussion, but I like buying from Overstock because I like the politics of the CEO. :tongue_smilie: Lame reason I know, but I figure if people buy from companies that somehow represent their values, then so can I!
To me, yes, it is worse if it is a woman. I am not sure why I feel this way.
LOL :D
And just to clarify, in the OP, I wasn't listing choices, I was just listing my feelings on the subject. Not really sure why I numbered the list.
Try Target, they have jeans and pants in multiple styles or fits for each size. For example, you could get 8short, 8medium, or 8long, each in Fit 1, Fit 2, Fit 3, Fit 4, etc.
What are your thoughts on profanity?
Me:
1. They are just words. Words have appropriate and inappropriate times and places to be used. Using an expletive in a situation that warrants it is ok. Riddling your speech with it shows ignorance to me.
2. IMO, that time and place is not around children, and generally not around ladies. And it bugs me when others use it in those situations.
3. A female that uses excessive profanity isn't classy, or "lady-like" to me.
4. Heck, crap, darn, etc don't really count in my view. I do understand why some have a problem with them.
5. The only word that offends me is G**d***, unless used in a literal sense of eternal ****ation.
A GOP Presidential debate is on tonight, 8pm ET on MSNBC.
It could be a fun experience watching with your children, you could teach them about the primary process.
