    Entering Day Two without sleep, or how I learned to hate being post grad

    Ah, the stresses of transitioning to a "real job": Up at 6, in at 8, done at 5. :D

    Non-traditional engagement rings

    Actually, diamond engagement rings have been in vogue only since the 1940s. Before that, all sorts of gems were used. If one wants a conflict-free stone, a Montana saphire would be a good choice.

    Help me pick a party dress!

    If it were me, I'd make something I would wear again and again. I think burgundy is more your color than red or black.

    Even in Nebraska

    Well said. While shootings are frightening and horrible, we're all far more likely to die early due to unhealthy lifestyle choices or a car wreck.

    Stinky Vacation

    I'm going to spend one of my floating holidays this year having my bathroom tiled (and the day before getting ready for the tile setter). Yea! :D Beautiful new bathroom is coming up!

    I am sorry. I hope nobody you know was among them.

    Even in Nebraska

    I stopped feeling insulated when they shot up Columbine. It really can happen anywhere.

    Stinky Vacation

    In 2005, I took off two days to paint my house, and it rained. I don't have much PDO left now because I use it all up on appointments.

    Vintage dressing for... the lesser endowed lady

    I suggest avoiding any details around the hip area, like pocket flaps or trim. It will just call attention to the hips. Avoid tight-fitting pants, too; anything tight will make you look bigger.

    Classy bars...

    It's a shame that these rules apply only to high-end bars. A friend of mine from Brooklyn, born c. 1930, said that it used to be that you wouldn't even hear foul language in a nice neighborhood bar. But in recent years, both he and my father have advised me not to try to meet men in bars...

    Fast Cooking

    I like to use a pressure cooker: it's fast, clean, efficient, and...did I mention fast? It's great for soup and beans. Not sure why more people don't use one. Anyone care to share recipes or tips? I'll get out my pressure cooker cookbook and post my faves.

    Vintage dressing for... the lesser endowed lady

    Someone else who has a 13-year-old gymnast figure is one of my dance teachers, Tiffiny Wine. She doesn't wear much vintage anymore, mostly jeans and form-fitting tops now, but she always looks good. Here are some YouTube videos of her; you can see what she wears.

    Vintage dressing for... the lesser endowed lady

    Some vintage clothes just have to be tried on to see if they fit. I think I have a pretty good eye for knowing whether something will fit, but vintage can fool me, too.

    Vintage dressing for... the lesser endowed lady

    Your sister sounds like she has the same kind of build I have: that of a 13-year-old gymnast. I think of it as sleek and athletic. Start with a good bra. If I don't wear an underwire bra, I look totally flat. A bit of padding is good too (especially with t-shirts). She should wear a...

    'Tis the season for dry hands and feet!

    True. If you don't exfoliate, you're just putting moisturizer on a layer of dead skin. I don't think it penetrates. Besides a scrub, I use a metal tool with a handle and a slightly rough metal surface to take off the dead skin.

    Would You Squeal?

    Having worked on occasional embezzlement cases at a CPA firm, I've heard the old "stealing for my kids" line. In one case I recall, the woman was really stealing to fund vacations and automobiles. How does that relate to stealing baby formula? It's probably easier than stealing cigarettes...

    Drunk at the Christmas Party Warning!

    A lot of these stories show an unfortunate fact of many businesses: the management cares about everything but working and making money.
