I discovered this about 20 years ago and it is a great trick. I used to wear pantyhose and heels to the office but I commuted in the same pair of flats every day and after a few weeks of summer wear in Washington DC they got pretty skanky. Put some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and sprayed them inside every night…

The cake thing is gross when brides and grooms do it. Frankly I hate it (and Mr. Hon and I didn't do it). The only thing that redeemed that moment for me TV-wise was that this was the first openly gay player ever drafted into the NFL. I'm prepared to cut him quite a lot of slack.

My SIL reads my niece's texts, email, etc. and my niece accepts it unquestioningly as just the price of being a kid. I would have hated it but this is why I never kept a diary, because I know my mother would have read that, and there's no way I could ever have written anything real in it.

When I was 11 I told my mother I did not want to have children. She told me I would change my mind someday. 47 years later I'm still good with it, and was fortunate to marry a man who was OK with it too.

Yeah, well, I'm mostly just a walker, but I recently bought a pair of Hoka One Ones, and my knees have never been happier. I still prefer the looks of my Nikes and can wear them much of the time, but on days when I am really covering miles I love those Hoka One Ones.

If USATF had made this deal with Adidas or Asics or any other shoe company you could make all of the same points about the difficulty of individual athletes' getting sponsored by other brands. This is the value of sponsorship: exclusivity. No matter who is writing the checks.

My mom died on January 27, 2013.

Publix birthday cakes. The best supermarket sheet cakes EVER.

I have flat feet so I like the CNX footbed more than the Newport footbed (less likely to give me arch blisters). But yes! Toe bumper is the best. I am also prone to ingrown toenails.

Keens are AWESOME. The "Kaci" style is the most comfortable non-sneaker I have ever worn in my life, and it's kinda cute too.

Oh, that's just mean. He's much smarter than some Ravens I can think of. But the facial hair was so bad.

People like that CAN be redeemed. Murderers can be redeemed. But it takes more than 42 days in the slammer to do it.

The "Clueless" jokes just write themselves.

This is pretty bad. It reminds me of the dress code at my junior high school about 45 years ago, which expressly forbade "Beatles haircuts" but only for boys.

I don't like raw tomatoes. Do you think I can offer them $75?

One of them was probably my BF from grade school. She has been a cast member at Colonial Williamsburg for 40 years. It was her dream job.

I can't believe they gave the line "all men are created equal" to a woman.

Back in the days of the late lamented ABL, I saw a bunch of rescue dogs playing flyball during halftime of a Portland Power game.

I love the bit where she tries to make up her mind about whether or not to take a piece of candy out of the dish. Perfect.

Mark Ruffalo is infinitely sexier than Adam Levine. That is all.
