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.

HA!

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.

flea, I may have (but I definitely posted it in LJ this AM) But for those who missed it the first time around, it's here [link] with YouTube links to each of the moments.

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.

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.

Today is like getting stuck behind a frail elderly woman in an airport with a freshly deplaned horde passing by you with their rolly-bags, and you're doing this slow mincing shuffle, occasionally darting sideways in an attempt to pass, but frail elderly woman is frail and you're afraid that you'll accidentally step on her heels and knock her down and break her hip or something, but OH MY GOD, if you move any slower you will DIE.
