father help running took walked
It walked up to me and I took off running and went and called my father and said you've got to see this and help me.
father talking trying
My father was always talking about God, and I idolized my father, so I'd spend hours trying to have mental telepathy with God.
real father rocks
My father hated rock and roll - hated it. My first real argument with my father was over the Rolling Stones. And he never, ever liked rock and roll. He just liked me.
couple father loss
My father came a couple of times, but he always blamed his hearing loss on my loud amplifiers. So he didn't come anymore, but I had his support.
plato father games
My father was a dreamy fellow - he read Plato and Socrates and watched Phillies games.
beautiful mother father
My father's mother was from Liverpool and she had this very beautiful English china. I only wanted to drink my cocoa out of my grandmother's cup and saucer.
mother father people
My mother and father had so many ups and downs and stayed with each other and helped each other. My mother took in ironing and she was a waitress. My father was working in the factory and he did people's tax returns.
mother father two
I always thought my father [influenced me most] because he was so well read, I tried to model myself on him, but really as I go through life I realise it was my mother who gave me the most valuable instructions. I didn't understand or accept it at the time. She taught me to read and to pray - two things that have really stayed with me.

It would go back and forth between the two of us and then it would go over here and bang its head on the steps trying to break the glass off.
directed life open
As I go through life, I can see why my mother directed me that way, or why my father counseled me in that way. But some things you're open to when you're young, and some things you need to find out for yourself. I think that that's pretty universal.

Employees were moved to want to do something ... and we know our customers felt similarly. We're hoping that by making it easy, people will be encouraged to donate.

We want customers to experience it because we know that once you try it, it changes the way you shop on the site.
deeper helped obama voted
I voted for Obama. I was very happy when he won. But Obama hasn't really been able to effectively do anything that has made me... He hasn't helped the environment. He didn't close Guantanamo Bay. He went deeper into Afghanistan.
benefit determine employees obviously union
We don't see how a union would benefit our employees and customers. But obviously it is up to our employees to determine what is right for them.
