In conclusion: don't stand so close to me.

Someone should write a song or something...

I actually don't think that supination is all that uncommon. I have high arches and I supinate. I ended up getting orthotics for running shoes which corrected the problem.

Well, it's much less common than the other two types (neutral and people that overpronate) and I find that when I go into most sneaker/sports stores, they don't really know what to give me.

I poked around online but wasn't convinced that I was getting something for my foot. In fact, I thought it was specifically on the New Balance fitting site that the links for over- and under-pronation led you to the same shoes. Now that I've gone directly there though, I don't see what I looked at yesterday.

Anyway, mostly I was looking for a personal rec from a buffista that had the same issues. I'm walking a lot and I want to find something that is comfortable and reasonable enough that I can replace them as often as I need to.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GC!!!!

megan, I don't have any dedicated walking shoes, but I have the same type of foot you do, and I can rec Saucony's comfort and durability as far as running shoes go. They do make a walking shoe: [link]

I watched Big Bird learn that Mr. Hooper was never coming back and cried and cried in my office,

I'm getting a little teary thinking of it, and I haven't seen it in 20 years.

Happy Birthday Glamcookie!

Juliana, I am seeing Kirsten today (finally!) and was wondering about tipping. Normally, one doesn't tip the owner of a salon, but I'm not sure that applies here.

Me too. I don't know if I want to see that again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A prime example of how the housing market got so fucked up.

The comments on that were very informative.

She's the only one there, so I always tip her. I don't know what Perkins and Lee do, but I think they tip her, too.

This, like discussion of Jim Henson's death, always makes me choke up.
