I'm looking to other sites to see if I can get it.<BR/><BR/>After we get this down, can we just knit away for a bunch of rows?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657949678045458231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-80121044878897641282009-02-06T10:20:00.000-06:002009-02-06T10:20:00.000-06:00I pluck my toe hairs with tweezers.

Their products are awesome, it can be done entirely on line and you have no worries except promoting it on your blog etc. I am a sales agent and I am giving my commission to the MOD. I would be willing to donate to your cause as well by donating a portion of my commission to your Team in Training. Check out the products. www.janice.lovablelabels.ca<BR/>Let me know if you are interested in setting up a fundraiser. <BR/>jtakade2008 at yahoo dot comJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692668817237974079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-80602362068879670872009-02-04T19:21:00.000-06:002009-02-04T19:21:00.000-06:00I will totally admit to shaving my toes (just the ...I will totally admit to shaving my toes (just the big ones) and the top area of my foot that is directly behind the big toe. I thought this was a normal thing??? Maybe I am the strange one? I do know I suck at knitting. I had such high hopes, but I can't even cast on. I am waving my white yarn in defeat!!! Which is o.k. because I have about 8,000 other projects to accomplish before baby #4 makes their appearance. <BR/><BR/>Kelly(Houston)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-19808255314388899012009-02-03T23:14:00.000-06:002009-02-03T23:14:00.000-06:00I don't even know if I could run a mile.

Actually, I do know that I am in no way physically fit enough to run a mile. <BR/><BR/>But, the way you worded the beginning of your post - about Deana and Raymond and all the others - just about had me thinking about signing up for a Marathon.<BR/><BR/>Instead, I think I'll just try and raise all that I can for our local children's hospital. Baby steps. <BR/><BR/>I hope maybe you'll put some form of paypal donation on your blog so we can chip in towards your goal?Classy Fab Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657528206098219881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-46063150408511207242009-02-03T14:17:00.000-06:002009-02-03T14:17:00.000-06:00When I was preggo, my feet were not only huge (puf...When I was preggo, my feet were not only huge (puffy) but you know... there's some hair (I can't believe I'm writing this!).

That would be great if you made it out >> we'd LOVE to see you!! The Lilly of the Nile and Jacaranda trees will be in full bloom! <BR/><BR/>Anne: A doll scarf would only require ~3 stitches with the bulk yarn and gauge needles I'm using. But if you went with a smaller needle and thinner yarn, you'd probably want at least 10 stitches. Sorry about the hairy toe distraction with the tutorial. Sometimes, my mind goes in odd directions.The Amazing Tripshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13761348688069779544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-86194823565088811132009-02-03T10:54:00.000-06:002009-02-03T10:54:00.000-06:00wHEN IS THIS MARITHON???

Than...I think I can give this knitting thing a try! Thanks for the tutorials. I think I'll start with a feeble attempt at a doll scarf so I have even fewer stitches to deal with.<BR/><BR/>And I shave my toes and feet. Not every time I shave my legs, since my hair is light and sparse on my feet, but I try to do it often enough that I don't end up with crazy long hairs. <BR/><BR/>I wish more people would notice the hair on their feet. I've seen some LOOONG dark toe hair on women and it grosses me out. There's something strange about seeing a woman with shaved legs and pits and having hair on her feet that you could probably braid.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I don't know if I appreciate or dislike all the comments mixed in with the knitting instructions...more reading for me to read what I'm doing when I attempt the whole knitting thing, but funny to read!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657949678045458231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-873008585004067322009-02-03T09:23:00.000-06:002009-02-03T09:23:00.000-06:00My teenagers enlightened me to shaving toes a few ...My teenagers enlightened me to shaving toes a few years ago.

You are hilarious. Please let us know if you ever find out why your feet fall asleep when you run. I have the same problem and it drives me nuts so nuts I don't run/walk for exercise any longer along with a long list of other reasons but the feet falling asleep is so annoying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-6234804977099544842009-02-03T06:50:00.000-06:002009-02-03T06:50:00.000-06:00Okay!

Then I said outloud to my son "I can only run 5 miles! Sometimes 6 -- we have to run, walk, crawl 20.2 more miles! How can "we" do that?" Crazy thoughts... Where's the chocolate? <BR/><BR/>Then my dear father, your uncle; who isn't feeling well due to lots of chemo said "If I can make it dear... your Mother and I are coming to San Diego with you. I'd love to watch you two". Next thought..."Damn that Jen - God love her but how does she talk me into these things??!!" ;-) <BR/><BR/>Wake me when this over! ;-) <BR/>Love, Marg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
