Best Birthday Ever: You should have seen the look on his face 'COLUMBIA, WHERE GREAT PEOPLE STILL EXIST' - When her son, Jimmy George, begged for a bike for his birthday, Jean George was determined to find one, even though finances for the nine-member family - seven children, mother and father - would be stretched to buy any bike. She did not even hint that she expected even a used bike as a gift - only to find where she could buy a used bike she could afford. She never expected the response. But five people called before noon, Sunday morning to pledge offers to buy a new bike and a sixth called wanting to chip in. All they asked was to remain anonymous. The offer, from Campbell County, TN, fulfilled his pledge. The second offerer, from Columbia, bought the helmet - though he, too, would have gotten the bike for the child's birthday. Click on headline to read her gracious letter of thanks to all By Jean George I wanted to write and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all the help getting our little boy his bike. He was so happy when he saw it and rode it the whole time we were at the fairgrounds. He said this was his best birthday ever. I wish you all could've seen the look on his little face.

Walking Adair County (Columbia) KY: A personal metric Walking: It doesn't necessarily take a lot of money to the health benefits you want. In fact, not spending is a parallel goal in my experiment. Might even look for a paying job where 10,000 strides, spread over an eight hour shift, is part of the work. Don't guess many waitresses or waiters, walking mailmen, neighborhood police on foot patrol, or Amazon pickers have a single concern about getting their 10,000 strides in. They're getting paid to get healthy. Ed Waggener There have been no posts during the period 5:30amCT-6:17amCT this Labor Day. The time was used to test a way to get in the 10,000 steps I've taking each day as a health regimen. I reached 5,100 of the strides, all indoors, in three rooms, but mostly around a small kitchen island. It took me 47 minutes to get half of the goal completed, or to be precise, 5,100 strides Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-09-07 06:42:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Healthy Lifestlyes by Kelli Bonifer
