    I bet the weight will provide good momentum and balance.

    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    I tend to attract guys who are involved with someone else. I agree--they're looking for what they are missing in the relationship they have.

    Do You Ever Get Tired of Compliments?

    There's a saxophone player where I go dancing who tells me, every time he sees me, that I have the best looking legs in the place. I like this compliment. He's sincere, and he isn't trying to pick me up. It's compliments that are overwrought, dramatic, soliciting something in return (like...

    Tear-Jerker Flicks

    I saw a wonderful movie last weekend on DVD: The Story of the Weeping Camel. A Mongolian family helps one of its camels through a difficult birth, but the mother rejects her calf. A musician helps them perform a ceremony to try to bring the camel and her baby together. The movie was...

    Do You Ever Get Tired of Compliments?

    A misunderstood child has a charm that a doting mother cannot give her.

    Clothing/attire tips for short men

    OK. I thought the boys department carried clothes for boys well into their teens, some of whom are fairly big.

    Do You Ever Get Tired of Compliments?

    I didn't mean to sound like I get so many compliments that I get bored with them. It's more the way some of them are delivered, or what someone is commenting on. Today, someone effusively complimented my black, white and burgundy jacket, saying that was the best combination for burgundy. My...

    Clothing/attire tips for short men

    Avoid too-large clothes; they just make you look smaller. If you have a short neck, avoid high and button-down collars. What's wrong with jeans? Maybe the boys department would carry clothes that would fit you better than those in the men's section. Don't leave your shirttail out if...

    Do You Ever Get Tired of Compliments?

    Everyone is supposed to like a compliment, but do you think there is a limit? A single compliment now and then, based on something you appreciate, is nice. But it's possible to go overboard with effusive attention. It comes across to me as unwanted attention. It's in the same category as...

    Special Delivery

    In her 1940 edition of "Ettiquette," Emily Post wrote that if you are having a lousy time as a weekend (or longer-term) guest at someone's house, you can send yourself a telegram and bail out. I guess you'd leave yourself a message on your cell phone now. Does anyone even stay at someone's house...

    Too Much Class?

    There are people who can be kind, impartial and gracious under trying circumstances, which means that they are good people. But the same people can feel uncomfortable among those who are richer, more educated or more sophisticated, or they may even take "pride" in being "common as an old shoe."...

    Fellas living with froufrou?

    I've won a fair amount of pink and white bric-a-brac with rose motifs at rose shows. Most of that stuff stays in a drawer. I didn't like pink frou-frou even when I was a little girl, so I can understand a grown man not really liking it.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    Director's Cut! Same thing. Most movies need to be edited, not expanded.

    I need your help....yes, you.

    I just bought a copy in downtown Denver, store #402128, front row men's section.

    Too Much Class?

    The incident at the pizza place sounds like reverse snobbery, which is just as bad as the regular kind. If it were an isolated incident at a restaurant I liked, I'd complain to the manager. Otherwise, I'd take my business somewhere else.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    A little off topic but in the same vein, let's retire the DVD covers with butts, boobs and spraddled legs. I was in the video store the other day and half the comedies had that kind of cover (as do most suspense movies). What's funny or scary about some girl's rear end? One more reason to go...

    Too Much Class?

    3 Different Situations You don't want to go to a fine restaurant or lounge because you're in the mood for loud or silly fun. Even the Park Avenue residents used to jazz it up in Harlem nightclubs. You don't want to go to an upscale place because you feel too humble. Maybe nobody there is...

    Overdressed for a funeral

    Seems like there used to be a collection every other month at work: someone getting married, having a baby, graduating, etc. I've never liked the practice.

    Let's also put to bed the Christmas special where a character sees the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

    Blue Jeans and Neckties?

    Back in the 50s, my grandfather saw my brother in patched jeans and he said to my mother, "Doesn't he have a better pair of pants?" At the time, my family was made of poor country folk.
