When the weather permits, how many of you like to go barefoot when you can?

I enjoy walking barefoot in our garden and in the yard, feeling the earth and grass, but some people won't go outside unless wearing shoes.

How do you stand on this vital issue?

I'm a footwear kind of guy... but I can go outside barefoot... as long as I don't have to walk on the street or on rocks

If I am because I think, then, if I talk without thinking, I'm not really talking! Am I?

i always go outside with my shoes on... my feet are very sensetive and tend to get cut up easily. i dont like to go barefoot, it says too much about your character to me... (i relate regular barefootedness with hippies for some reason, sorry!)

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.


What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

I'm a shoes type myself. I simply will not subject the masses to my bare feet. They are both visually and olfactoraly unappealing. Not to mention most varieties of grass are sensative to fungus. And I like my lawn!

My Mom tells me I've been shunning footwear since I was a babe! She couldn't keep the things on me. I was barefoot any chance I could get, even in stores (until everyone started the "no shirt, no shoes" stuff. Nowadays, I go to work with shoes on, I WON'T walk in a nasty parking lot without SOMETHING on my feet, nor will I walk around in a strange yard (never know what's in there, wot?)

But I DO go without foot apparel absolutely every single second I can get away with it!

Like any other Israely who respects himself (hehe!) I always walks barefoot in me house and in the garden and a bit outside of the house...though if I work in the garden then I prefer to wear shoes.
Hmmm....I just like the cold nice feelin' the floor gives to me pair 'o legs...'specially on warm days (99% of the time 'round here!)..it's even better than air conditionair (sp?)! LOL! :0)

I go barefoot around the house usually unless it's really cold. But when it's nice enough to go w/o footwear outside, the sandburs are everywhere, otherwise I would outside also.
