plz. help me to write the main idea of this article in the NY Times. in two pages.?

“>

I really thought about helping you out here, just because it would be fun to write. Then I looked at your profile and see that:

1. You answer other people’s questions so obviously without care and thought and apparently just for points so you can go ask more questions.

and

2. The people that are gracious enough to assist you or answer your questions most of the time don’t even recieve the courtesy of you selecting the "best answer" but they are instead selected by voters.

So instead I decide that if you are not interested in doing the right, then why in the world should anyone be interested in helping you?

How would you handle a situation that you never came across before? It involves my 6 year old granddaughter?

“>

My wife and I took our 6 year old granddaughter out last Friday night to the local mall to find her some new shoes for spring. As we were walking around, she spotted a big dog with it’s owner and we could tell that this woman was blind. She did have another human companion with her for support also. My granddaughter yelled and pointed, "oh look at the dog!!" and started running up to it. I quickly grabbed her and said, "sweetie, you can’t pet this dog". Well, she started to cry because she loves animals and could not understand why should could not pet this one. We found a place to sit and tried our best to explain to her about these dogs that they are "working" and can’t be distracted. It was very difficult and my wife and I tried our best and we hope we did ok. Our granddaughter said that she understood, but we are not too sure. Would you have done the same thing? Thank you very much.
Edit*** Thanks you guys! I didn’t expect all this. Now you make it so hard for me to pick a best answer. lol….if you know me, you know how I feel about picking. I wish I could take you all out to lunch to give my thanks.
Edit*** I let my wife read all the truly nice opinions you all wrote and she ended up in tears. All of you really made us feel much better about it. Thank you so very much.
Edit*** DR W…..I found the film on Amazon.com. I appreciated that so much. Planning on getting it.

You did the right thing, but more than that, the dog in question was "working" but the child should NOT run up to any animal ! I taught my kids to never approach a strange animal, dog, horse, whatever. So many children are hurt every year by dog attacks and charging at the dog could very well put it in a defensive mode.

I hope you will talk to your granddaughters parents about this, its very dangerous for her to be doing this !

I’ll bet there are childrens books about seeing eye dogs and other working dogs !

How do I kill athlete’s foot – causing bacteria in my leather shoes?

“>

I’ve been wearing these shoes all summer without socks and have recently developed athlete’s foot. I am using some topical medication to get rid of it but it keeps coming back because (I’m pretty sure) I keep using these shoes, without socks. They’re my favorite shoes and I don’t want to toss them! How can I get rid of the bacteria?

Put the shoes away and swap with another pair for a while! invest in some breathable cotton socks and wear them with your shoes. Keep your feet clean and dry and try not to wear shoes all the time.

What is the best way to remove the smell in work shoes? I cleared up the Athlete’s foot but shoes still smell

“>

I’ve tried all the powders and sprays, even tried freezing the shoes. I pay for good shoes and the smell comes back every time. Any tried and true solutions?

First of all, you need leather shoes, not vinyl. If vinyl, throw them out. Second of all, keep your feet and WHITE cotton socks clean, and don’t walk around in your socks then put on your shoes, you pick up all the bacteria that may be causing the odor. Put foot powder in your shoes daily or throw in some baking soda or cornstarch. Whenever your shoes are very sweaty, place them by a window or outside to air out. Lastly….wash feet daily with Safeguard or an antibacterial soap, or spray white vinegar on feet after you wash, then dry well and change your socks everyday, do not wear socks more than once. Practice good foot hygiene!!

What is a good Transition Sentence?

What is a good transition sentence for this…
1st Supporting Para.:
First of all, just getting to the theater presents difficulties. Leaving a home equipped with a TV and a video recorder isn’t an attractive idea on a humid, cold, or rainy night. Even if the weather cooperates, there is still a thirty-minute drive to the theater down a congested highway, followed by the hassle of looking for a parking space. And then there are the lines. After hooking yourself to the end of a human chain, you worry about whether there will be enough tickets, whether you will get seats together, and whether many people will sneak into the line ahead of you.

(I need to add a Transition Sentence to the end of this paragraph but I cant fix anything except for add the sentence)

2nd Supporting Paragraph:
Once you have made it to the box office and gotten your tickets, you are confronted with the problems of the theater itself. If you are in one of the run-down older theaters, you must adjust to the musty smell of seldom-cleaned carpets. Escaped springs lurk in the faded plush or cracked leather seats, and half the seats you sit in seem loose or tilted so that you sit at a strange angle. The newer twin and quad theaters offer their own problems. Sitting in an area only one-quarter the size of a regular theater, moviegoers often have to put up with the sound of the movie next door. This is especially jarring when the other movie involves racing cars or a karate war and you are trying to enjoy a quiet love story. And whether the theater is old or new, it will have floors that seem to be coated with rubber cement. By the end of a movie, shoes almost have to be pried off the floor because they have become sealed to a deadly compound of spilled soda, hardening bubble gum, and crushed Ju-Jubes.

Thank You to the people(s) who have answered it/good.

Even if the weather cooperates, there is still a thirty-minute drive to the theater down a congested highway. It will be followed by the hassle of looking for a parking space and the lines before really parking. After hooking yourself to the end of a human chain, you worry about whether there will be enough tickets, whether you will get seats together and whether many people will sneak into the line ahead of you. We wait and stand in the line, praying silently that you will have a ticket and to get inside.

What’s funny is racists will always try to find a way to downplay a black person’s invention or they’ll say that they stole it from a white man.

Hey everyone I have a question about my foot.I have athletes foot from walking on wrestling mats with no shoes

I wrestle and I walk around on the mats with no shoes. Now my foot has like a flakie part on it. It itches. I have been puttig some cream on it and it is not seaming to work.

Athletes foot cannot thrive if there is no darkness and moisture. If you went barefoot 24/7 I guarantee you would not have it

Anyone think Adidas should go back to making signature shoes?

Does anyone out there think they should go back to doing signature shoes for the basketball athletes? I like all the ts shoes and all, but I liked the signature models better. I’ve had almost every pair of t-mac’s and I wanna continue it with a pair of t-mac 7’s lol.

well depends on the t-mac 7’s. they better come in size 10 and lighter than 16 pounds.ts light speed gave me speed but i

are North Star shoes from Athletes World a good brand ?

No i strongly do not recomend them…horrible traction and after a month of having them they had a hole in them

I am a high-school track-and-field athlete. What shoes would allow maximum performance for sprints AND jumps?

I triple jump, run short sprints, and long jump.
Since I don’t have the budget for multiple pairs of shoes, nor do I know that it would actually be the most economic use of my resources, what type of shoes should I buy? Sprint shoes or jump shoes? And what features should I be looking for in either/both?

I would try New Balance or asics.
