    Now, most of this, I agree with--particularly that people shouldn't act like slobs. I just put on clothes that look nice and I can move around in and call it good. After all, we don't expect waltzers to put on empire gowns or breeches, or tango enthusiasts to dress like prostitutes or...

    Dry cleaning hair?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I saw some spray-in cleaners on the Sephora website--I think those would be easiest for my mother to use. For some reason, I've never seen these at the beauty supply store I shop at, but then, I never looked for them.

    Dry cleaning hair?

    Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning hair without water? My mother is in the hospital and cannot wash her hair. Thanks!

    I'm going clothes shopping, what do you suggest?

    I agree--get a navy blazer. One of the partners where I work told me just the other day that he'd gotten the same advice from the company. Navy goes with most other suiting colors, plus khaki. I'd add that it should definitely be made of wool. Wool breathes, it sheds dirt pretty well, it doesn't...

    I'm going clothes shopping, what do you suggest?

    One woman's suggestions A few things to consider before you shop: Your build. Lean, fit people can wear knit and slim fitting clothes; a heavy-set person looks better in woven, tailored clothes with a fit that's not too narrow or baggy. Neck. If you have a short neck, a low-collar shirt...

    Out here in flyover country, you're lucky to see anyone outside of a downtown area dressed nicely. I'd be thrilled to see everyone in clothes that fit and covered their midsections.

    I've always said that it's just a matter of time before someone gets hurt doing an aerial. I'm glad she went on to dance again. ;)

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    My employer lets us choose an HSA (health savings account) plan. The premiums are lower, and they pay a greater portion. Part of the reason health care is so expensive is that for years, people didn't pay for routine care and prescriptions out of pocket. It's a little like spending money...

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    I can only add that I've found it a good practice to avoid saying anything online that I wouldn't say in person.

    I like Lincoln's quote that most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.

    Number of handbags and pairs of shoes?

    I hope you aren't avoiding trips to the podiatrist--if you need them. Since you can afford to collect shoes, handbags, etc., I assume that isn't the case.

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    So-called recession proof stocks are for companies that sell staples like toothpaste, pencils and boxes. You might put off a trip to the dentist, but you probably won't stop brushing your teeth. Other stocks that seem to weather recessions well are vice stocks: tobacco, alcohol, etc. My...

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    This is true. If I were in desperate straits, I'd stop buying my prescription medication and eat baking soda like candy. My mother needs about a month in a physical rehabilitation center. If we couldn't afford it once the insurance runs out, she'd simply have to come home, even though she can't...

    Good shoes are cheaper than a trip to the podiatrist.
