I Killed An Ant

I don't deserve to wear these flowers anymore.

I picked 2 lilies from my garden to wear in my hair. Knocked off several ants & an earwig. Thought I had them all clean.

On the drive in to work, I saw an ant running frantically around my passenger seat, near the lilies. Missed one!

I refused to use my finger to pick it up. And when the one tool I had didn't work quickly & easily to pick it up & throw it out the window with, I smashed it.

I refused to let it live in a place where it might pop out of hiding one day and bite me.

I killed an ant because it might bite me one day. As if that would be the end of the world.

For crying out loud, I probably get bitten by a single ant several times a summer in circumstances I can't control as easily.

I have so much work to do on respecting animals' lives.

I'm going to wear the flowers, but I don't deserve it.

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]buy mbt shoes[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]MBT shoes[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]buy mbt shoes[/B] more remarkable.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]MBT shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]MBT shoes[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]MBT shoes[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt sandals[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]mbt shoes review[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt sandals[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT shoes[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.


As to the question of whether they [B]mbt shoes review[/B] are worth the money I suppose this has to be a personal judgement. If [U][B]mbt shoes cheap[/U][/B] you spend long periods of time on your feet then you may [U]mbt sandals[/U] benefit from them. However, if you are someone [U]MBT shoes[/U] who just goes for gentle walks to keep fit then perhaps a [U]mbt shoes review[/U] good pair of conventional trainers at [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] half the price will be fine.
