Anybody else walk daily?

I AM hot, but not looking for a new GF.
And you would not have liked the smell of my feet, after 10 hours in a pair of work boots. (OR 5 minutes in a sneaker, during the summer)
And according to my GF, I have beautiful feet. They are just a little dirty before my evening shower.
Is black, a little dirty?

I didn't mean physically, you nerd and that's why you'd leave your shoes outside/on the porch with some odor eaters and immediately wash you feet/take a shower. That way, no smell

Phantom, hope you feel better soon! I never had bronchitis but I once pulled a muscle under my ribcage and I soon learned to dread every sneeze, cough and laugh. Even breathing deeply hurt but sneezes were the absolute worst!! I feel your pain!

Thanks, Dy . Yeah, I am also Asthmatic these days so a.t.m., I can only breathe at the expense of great pain. A lot of folk take it for granted that they can actually breathe without discomfort and without thinking about it .
Pneumonia has been abating, so looks like I'll live through this one. Still not too chipper, a.t.m.

I detest Flip-Flops, too - for the following reasons:- (1) Uncomfortable to wear, even more so to walk in; (2) They always hurt/chaff in between my big-toe and under the straps, (I have typical tissue thin English skin); (3)They flick sand and crap all over my back and in my hair, especially when running; (4) Speaking of running - just DON'T in Flip-Flops; (4) Slippery and dangerous when wet; (5) Any broken glass, thorns, etc. just go straight through the, (pathetic) soles and into my feet; (6) They look tramp(ish), untidy and common; (7) They expose the feet to sun and dangerous U.V. rays, (significant in Aust. and my Lilly white feet, LoL!).

I could go on, but you get the drift that I dislike the wretched torture devices.

(1) I don't wear them for real walking, just instead of putting on shoes, because I am barefoot, 99% of the time in the summer, at home.(2) wussy (3) read (2) and I don't run. Haven't since I was in the service. (4)read (3) You have two 4's? But I agree 100% with that one. (5) True on the glass, our thorns are smaller and read (1) (6)Now you're talking my style (7) I've never tanned well and never tried to, just started wearing shorts again, the last couple of years. I always hated showing those pale things. They are deathly white. My arms are barely tanned at the end of a summer and I go out a lot. But I always go barefoot as often as possible, around the house. Already tough enough to walk the small gravel on the road out front. :D
And truthfully, thongs are the crappiest footwear, imaginable, but I am lazy.
I don't like sneakers, without socks. And it's too much work.

Ah yeah, two number fours - I guess that means both points are related, (yeah, yeah, I should have made a (4a) and a (4b). That's my, (feeble) excuse), besides it was nearly 1:30 a.m., local time when made that post.

I use slippers to perform most of the tasks you ascribe to Flip-flops, (yup, I am a (old)Nerd!). Flip-flops are evil incarnate, pure evil, i.m.o.

No, that would be tomatoes or as I frequently call them "the spawn of satan"

I try and walk as much as possible these days, in work as I now work behind a desk for most of the day I do walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator, I could do with loosing a few lb but not much, more 2 or 3lb as I'm getting flabby around the midrift!

Diabetes does suck and while I'm not diabetic I do work at times in that field of ophthalmology as its one of the research areas I deal with, so I know its effects and overweight is one such effect that can cause massive diabatic issues in cholesterol and vision problems.

Yeah diabetes is no fun. My GF has Type II. Can't get her to walk, but I am slowly getting her diet changed. Of course, that means I have to put on my Iron Chef apron, more often.
She's loosing weight, just to prove to me, she doesn't need to walk.
Walking seems to be big in my immediate neighborhood. Seems at least 50% of the folks, along this section of the lake, walk their dogs, jog, strool, or power walk (one lady I call, the ski lady, because she power walks with ski poles, or hiking staffs. And one hot blonde jogs by every day then comes back later with two kids in a stroller and one walking with her )
