VERBS, VERBS, VERBS
What verbs can you think of to replace these?

Susanna got me thinking that we should work on a dictionary of words to use instead of the stale ones we tend to fall back on.
So, I'm going to start the list and see what you can contribute. Susanna seems to have exhausted the "said" choices so what else can we work with?
What can we use instead of the following: WALK, TALK, ENTERED, LEFT, or any other static verb.
Put the static verb in capitals and equal sign and then a replacement.
