I\'d like to hope you wouldn\'t see then any night, but it is what it is. I agree with both you and jocelyn; they do good work some times, but the organization could definetly be run better.

Drew, tell your mom thanks for the info, but I\'ll take a rain check on the presentation ;)

Here are a couple of charities that I hold near and dear to me...

Children\'s Hunger Fund http://childrenshungerfund.org/ I have two friends who work there and I\'ve taken part in their Holiday Toy Wrap. What an amazing event.

And then a local-to-CA charity is the Valley Trauma Center http://www.valleytraumacenter.org/ They deal with Sexual Assault and Crisis Intervention. I\'m currently in training to become a Rape Crisis Advocate with them. They have an event called Walk A Mile In Her Shoes http://walkamileinhershoes.org/ where men walk for one mile in women\'s high heel shoes to both raise money and awareness. I took part in it two years ago and it\'s a powerful event. I believe there is one in CT raising money for a local organization similar to the VTC.

:lol: so true!  I can\'t wear them for an entire night and usually end up barefoot at some point!  There is a purpose for them, however - they slenderize the leg by adding length and also make the ass appear more curved and lifted, which some women do need help with! ;)

Long term regular use also causes a shortening of the calf muscle which causes problems down the road.

It\'s treating me as well as it can. We had a dry winter, so fire season may be interesting. I got one of those "We haven\'t heard from you in forever, please stop by" emails a week or so ago and decided to check this site out again. Prior to the other night I hadn\'t been on since 2005. Whoops. I also refused to get internet for a year, but now I need it for work.

As for the comments about the shoes...yeah, I wear heels to work and take them off. I walk around my office barefoot most of the time. Luckily I haven\'t hit a staple yet.

"Walk A Mile..." is a great event and a lot of fun watching the guys try to walk in 4 inch heels. Several guys came up to me and said they respect me more because it sucked and they were in pain.

The guy I dragged into it bought his own shoes and they were wedges, so he kind of cheated. He was skipping down the road enjoying himself.

Hope you\'re well, Paul.
