I stepped in dog poop last year dropping off my kiddies for the first day of school and was disgusted and threw out my sneakers instead of cleaning them off. So glad I wasn't wearing flip flops:wah:

I grew up on a farm. We learned to watch where we stepped at an early age.

John Lennon's song "Imagine" always stirs me

And so does our National Anthem.

I am as soppy as they come and cry over everything.

Last time was saturday on the X-Factor.

Guy in his late 30's auditioned, told the story of his wife dying after giving birth to his 11 month baby daughter, the lump in my throat was huge, tears flowing like a river, upset me for the next half hour.

I have been know to cry on adverts, if someone I know cries in front of me, I cry..I cant help it, iv'e tried to hold it in but end up with huge snot bubbles:D

I've posted this here before, but this song has an effect on me still today.

John Michael Montgomery did a song called "The Little Girl". Back when this song first came out, a girl was reported missing from the local mall. A few days later, her body was found at the local garbage dump. She was very tiny for her age and severely malnourished. The truth came out that the parents used the missing from the mall story and dumped her body in the dump. Great people huh? As he imposed his sentence, the judge referred to the little girl, Tasha Lantham, as "The Little Girl". Her life was as sad as the life that girl in the song's was. From the day of the sentencing on, I cannot listen to that song without crying. It can be quite embarrassing when you hear it out in public.

I also hate it when Im walking alomg minding my own business and some other guy is walking towards me.

WTF ?

At what point am I supposed to acknowledge him ?

Do I look off like something interesting is happening over there ?

Or do I look down pretending hes not even there ?

If I do look up and hes pretending to look at something interesting elsewhere do I act superior as if to say "Im the man" ?

What kind of greeting ?

The nod, the slight flip of the head, what if its dead noon and I cant pull off good morning ? I refuse to say good afternoon, too gay.

I cant handle it, way too much pressure.

There is this Christmas song every year that plays...it's called "Christmas Shoes" it really tugs at the heart strings. This gives the lyrics and will even play the song.

I heard this song today and it made me cry!

I Saw God Today!

Just walked down the street to the coffee shop

Had to take a break

I'd been by her side for 18 hours straight

Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk

Pushin' up through the concrete

Like it was planted right there for me to see

The flashin' lights

The honkin' horns

All seemed to fade away

In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08

I saw God today

I've been to church

I've read the book

I know he's here

But I don't look

Near as often as I should

Yeah, I know I should

His fingerprints are everywhere

I just slowed down to stop and stare

Opened my eyes and man I swear

I saw God today

Saw a couple walkin' by they were holdin' hands

Man she had that glow

Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was startin' to show

Stood there for a minute takin' in the sky

Lost in that sunset

Splash of amber melted in the shades of red

I've been to church

I've read the book

I know he's here

But I don't look

Near as often as I should

Yeah, I know I should

His fingerprints are everywhere

I just slowed down to stop and stare

Opened my eyes and man I swear

I saw God today

Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass

She's sleepin' like a rock

My name on her wrist

Wearin' tiny pink socks

She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes

My brand new baby girl

She's a miracle

I saw God today

Not an awful lot, tbh. Not film-wise anyway. I think the last one that made me cry was Watership down and I was about five.

However, I did honk while watching Hostel. It was the eye and blowtorch that did it. *shudder*

I watched "What a Girl Wants" last night and the ending always makes me boo hoo and it's cause dad finally gets it and bonds with his daughter. Oh, I think I'm going to cry again

i can't even count how many times i've seen it, and it makes me cry every time!

it got so bad, my husband would come in and see me watching it and he would change the channel on me, he would say, you don't need to be watching that you know it's to upsetting to you! :wah:

I think all movies should have a happy ending. I feel so unsatisfied when it doesn't happen that way. Thats' why I love foot ball movies. The team always wins in the big game at the end. In the rare case that they don't, they have gained something more important than winning. Mateship, or courage, or something, and they are better off for losing. Football movies satisfy me!
