| | | Outside running and music
Ok, I am one of those people who are deathly afraid of getting jumped, raped, kidnapped, etc. while running outside. Therefore, I do not listen to music or anything. I feel safer if I can hear the sounds around me and know when a car is coming or what not.
For those of you who run outside, what say you? |

| | I wish I had a running partner, but I don't. I DO have a walking partner, but I dont' get to do that much right now, as I am at the barn so much.  |

| | | Sorry if this sounds rude but is Unitarian Universalist one of those religions where everyone sings or is it more in a homily format.
We dont have Unitarian Universalist over here. |

And no, it doesn't bother me to listen with only 1 ear. I actually have a very difficult time doing only one thing at a time. I also do not like my senses to be overwhelmed to where I can't hear other things. Living in an apartment complex really bothers me because I can't identify the sounds I hear. When I live in a house I always know where everyone is by the sounds and steps and such. | I'm sorry to hear about your separation.  Must be hard with a little one.
What version of windows...I have XP.
As far as the sounds, yeah, I can imagine living in an apt would be different. I never have lived in an apt, but I can't say I would like to, either. LOL I'll keep my house, thanks. LOL  |

I was Catholic for several years and I've also been other....well, I've been Episcopalian and am currently Congregational. Both churches I have been to have used "homily" and "sermon" interchangibly.

| | | I like to run with music anytime I'm running. It helps me keep my mind off of how tired I am. If I were running at night, or in a city, I'd be afraid too but since I run in a neighborhood with a bunch of children and old people and nice parents, that isn't a concern. |

Music is the way to go. Without it, I don't think I would last more than 5 minutes because it would be so boring...No offense to Mother Nature  |

It's what I prefer, really, but I want to be able to hear if someone is slowing down and getting ready to grab me. LOL
Der, free place to live...who wouldn't like that! And it's always good to be around family. I'm in close proximity to my husband's family and I love it.  |

But then again, it's a great way to meditate and think through problems and pray. | | |
