But you're right, they'd try to sell it! I love your idea of exploring the 'community ads' to find great gear and new adventures... that's something of how it feels to wander around the internet, too ... only, just a bit less of that healthy Yoga activity when you're parked in a chair and web surfing... ;) @LA, soft-serve with fries – yuk!

I'm sure they'd try and up-sell you to some fries with that anyway. One thing I thought of from my recent experience of having no internet access at my home office for 2 weeks (and having to travel to the local library to use theirs) is 'reading the local commumity ads' that appear in the library...I now have a new Yoga Class to attend and my printer is sitting on a gorgeous 2nd hand bamboo table...all from those wonderful ads. lol…the cheapest thing on the menu at McDonalds in Australia are the 30c Soft Serve Cones…they’re yet to put a price on smiles here Down Under.

Then hopping on one leg back to the car after work. Nice idea on coming up with something new to do each day. I don't think I could order a smile at McDonald's. Strangely, I don't think I have the guts to do that. Isn't that wild? How about walking backwards into work tomorrow. Then hopping on one leg back to the car after work.

So... how about... New Thing: start a petition demanding that your gym start offering Wii classes. Or get on the treadmill (or exercise bike) and text everyone you know with the play-by-play on how hard you're working out.

So far so good. And I'll confess, it's as painful as it is amusing. ;) I’ve made a commitment to go to the gym every, single day. So far so good.

New Thing: Find a flower in someone's garden that you like and don't know the name of and then go about determining what it is and planting it at your home. (Of course the weather would have to warm up first and flowers would have to bloom) New Thing: Walk with your mailman/woman as they deliver mail on your street and have a conversation to get to know them.
