Big City, Small Town


About a year ago I decided to treat myself to lunch at Naidre's--a fabulous coffee shop that is not in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. I'd been there a handful of times over the past couple of years since it's not far from my kids' school, but not enough to be known by the people working there. I was just another stranger heading in for a bite.

It was one of the first great springy days of the year and so I'd grabbed a lighter jacket than the wintry one I'd been slogging around in for months. Switching coats, bags, or tampering with anything for that matter is a dangerous thing for me and even though I'm forty-one, I refuse to remember how forgetful I am. I stuff money in coat pockets, or maybe a credit card'll end up there if I've pumped gas recently and have had to separate one out from my wallet for a period of time longer than just a regular swipe. And then of course I do something silly like wear a raincoat, or no coat, or decide at the last minute to carry a different bag than my regular one...and I have that terrible moment where I realize I have no money too late.

That's what happened at Naidre's that day. I ordered a big cup of Rosy Earl Grey tea with milk, and some exciting sandwich. And as they passed the goods to me I dug around in my pockets and soon realized I was completely penniless. I was flooded with the familiar feeling of having failed at being a grownup, yet again. **The familiar feeling of failure is my new favorite concept, poached from the new novel Four Wives, by Wendy Walker where it's mentioned in a lovely passage about a woman who nurses her fussy child in the middle of the night, simultaneously calming him down AND destroying all of her sleep-training efforts. I've found this ffof applies to many aspects of my life.

'I have no money,' I announced, with startled unhappy eyes. There was half of an uncomfortable moment, and then I ventured 'could I bring you the money later today?'

While I don't try this kind of thing often, I'm always surprised when perfect strangers trust me. I have this wide open honest midwestern face that seems to invite conversation from all kinds of people in all kinds of places, but I also tend to dress wayyy down and often feel like retailers think I'm going to shoplift. This paranoia, no doubt, stems from my early days in high-end retail. On days off (which were never weekend days) I'd refuse to put any effort into my appearance and I'd do my own shopping. I always thought it ironic that nervous eyes that would flicker at me as I'd pad around a store in my oversized sweater and birkenstocks with socks, since only the day before I was the fanciest girl in the world personal shopping with people like Phyllis George and the Sultan of Brunei. So used to being considered a shoplifter am I that these little moments of trust--this counter girl in one of the biggest cities in the world trusts that I'll bring her the $7 I owe her!--shock me. Still, I threw it out there as a possibility. Hoping that open honest face would trump slovenly con-lady appearance.

Sure enough the woman shrugged and said 'yeah okay, that'd be fine.'

'Really?' I nearly ruined the moment, starting to feel even more like a loser. Of course I was good for it, I'd bring the money later, I'd make a special trip from home to do it, etc. But this just seemed so much to ask.

'Sure, no problem' she said, pushing my food towards me. 'Enjoy.'

And enjoy I did. Nothing like a bit of reading material, some hot tea, and a good sandwich. I took my time, soaking up the experience. An hour later I pushed away from the table, bussed my own stuff, and went to leave.

'Thanks,' I said, approaching the counter on my way out. 'I'll be back later, what time do you close?'

'Oh!' she said, looking confused. 'Didn't anyone tell you? The lady behind you in line paid for you.'

'Someone paid for me?' I asked, searching the room, trying to place which 'lady' might have done this.

'Yeah, she heard you saying you didn't have your money and she told me she wanted to pay for you, said she tried to do a good deed every day. But she left already.'

'She...' I started, craning my neck to the sidewalk in front, still thinking I could find her somewhere. This wasn't computing. Try as I might I couldn't even remember anyone being in line after me. I settled on a simple 'wow.'

The counter lady winked at me, appreciating my befuddlement. 'Pay it forward,' she suggested, smiling.

I left Naidre's feeling light as air. Smiling giddily at the next thousand strangers I saw might not have been the right way to pay it forward but I couldn't help myself. The glow of this stranger's good deed stayed with me all afternoon, all week, and can still rise up and make me happy whenever I remember to remember it.

Later that day I tried to tell the story to my husband, but found that no actual telling could recapture the shiny specialness of the feeling of finding out that someone who didn't know me had decided to make my day (and it didn't help that there was a bit of 'you forgot your money?' incredulousness from him which kind of ruins all the good feeling of the story). Of all the choices that woman had to make in that moment--judge me, hate me, ignore me, she chose to settle my tab for me. Anonymously. Ignoring me would have been anonymous too.

Another small town story from big city Brooklyn. Of course a story like this could happen anywhere. `But the fact that things like this do happen here is something I love. I love this place.

Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt discount shoes[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]mbt sandals[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]MBT shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] closer look at these special shoes.

The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt shoes review[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]mbt shoes review[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] work for some people.

More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt shoes review[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]mbt sandals[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]MBT shoes[/U] on your lower joints.


Overall owners of the MBT shoe really like the results. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] It is typical that if you walk for three or four miles at a time for several times [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] per week you will experience some weight loss. Some people are using them for every day [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] use and find that this helps to keep their legs toned and looking nice. These are just walking [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] shoes you really do not want to use them for running. It is recommended that you go to a store and try them on, as you [B]mbt shoes review[/B] want to make sure the heel is snug and fits correctly. If the shoes fit correctly they should feel snug and it should [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] feel as though you are walking on stilts when you walk in [U]mbt sandals[/U] them.

If you are an avid fitness walker or have been looking for [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] different weight loss methods, than I am sure you have heard of MBT shoes. Also known [B]mbt sandals[/B] as the anti-shoe, it is a range of footwear that helps improve posture, work [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] a lot of different muscle groups, and aids in burning more calories. But the biggest stumbling block [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] for most people when deciding to buy these shoes has [U][B]mbt shoes best prices[/U][/B] been its price tag of $255. Until recently, only the [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] affluent and wealthy could afford these sneakers. Now days though, you [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] can get the same quality styles for more than 40% of what people paid for [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] them just a year ago.

Buying MBT shoes on clearance is a great way [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] to save a bunch of money. Just because they are sold at [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] a discount does not mean it is an imitation or a damaged style. Most of the [U]MBT[/U] models available at clearance prices are [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] just discontinued types that retailers have an abundance of, and are reasonably priced.

Receiving the anti-shoe at discounted prices is not something that takes very [B]mbt shoes clearance[/B] long. However, one must implement some simple steps that will help you pinpoint your [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] selections. One thing you should do first and foremost is [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] to know your foot size. Go to any retailer and they will properly measure your width and length for [U]mbt discount shoes[/U] you or just use the chart yourself.

After you know your size, start looking on [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] line for some of the best places to buy MBT shoes on the Internet. On the first [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt discount shoes[/URL][/B] couple pages of Google, you'll find the best on line retailers that sell the anti-shoe, but try adding the words [B]MBT[/B] clearance, discount, on sale to your normal search of "MBT shoes."


They keep their prices for the anti-shoe low year [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] round for discontinued styles. This helps get them more [B]MBT shoes[/B] customers introduced to this beneficial footwear. Another great way to get MBT shoes clearance prices is to take [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] advantage of the several shopping search engines out there. Most of them have at [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] least a few providers selling the anti-shoe at discounted prices, some even [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] offer free shipping as an added incentive.

do i take a car insurance firm to small claims court? The insurance company declined my claim, (I would take the responsible driver to small claims however I've no address to serve them or send a requirement letter). The additional driver was at fault however their insurer says there can be a difference in this statements to make sure they have to use the word of their insured vs. my word. I do think they acted in negative faith and did not execute a proper investigation would this manifest as a valid claim in small claims court? I wish to consider the responsible drivers insurance company (not my own) to small claims for your damages to my car.

Luckily, there are many methods in safely removing
unwanted hair. My hair doesn't always look good when I'm going to
attend openings and red carpet events. When one thinks of fungus, they don't generally associate it with the head or scalp, but the itching, burning scalp, rash or pimples on the scalp could very well be caused by a fungus, requiring antifungal shampoo to provide well needed relief to the symptoms.

Candles are always an interesting interior design choice, because not only are they available in different sizes, colors and scents, but they also create a softer mood and

The elegant glass wear filled with colourful candy accessorised to accompany your chosen wedding palette, a
sweet alternative to wedding favours. Blood punch,

that you could save money to use on other things.
