Hi Tom
I'd suggest this: A- Because I do not want to lie with my feet towards my grandfather's photograph.
Now could you explain your sentence a bit further? Is doing something like that a cultural no-no in Pakistan? Or is it the case that you simply don't want your toes to block your view of the picture? :D . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

No, dear--it was out of sheer respect for the guy! :shock:
But, Amy can you please tell me of some verb for this situation? Or it's not very common? If I had to advise someone:

. Well, it sounds to me as if this may indeed be a cultural issue, Tom.
I can imagine someone telling you not to tread on the Holy Bible, but I honestly can't imagine someone telling you that shouldn't point your feet in its direction. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
