| | | Walking Shoes | | Quite often our feet get quite ignored until they start to give us a bit of pain or discomfort, but a lot of foot problems could be well avoided with the correct walking shoes. In fact it doesn't matter whether you're standing, walking or running, as 'all' of your body weight falls directly onto the bottom of your feet. Therefore, support is vital, especially if you are someone who's always on the go.Despite all the research and analysis done on foot care over the years, many of us still place style and design over quality, fitting, and comfort and this is especially the case amongst woman. When you think about it, it's quite often the women folk who come how after a long day and drop their knackered feet into a bowl of warm water for a good relaxing soak. But if they thought a little more carefully about the type of shoes they walked in before purchase, they wouldn't have such aches and pains in the first place.Footwear has indeed come a long way in recent years which means it's possible to not only have shoes that are practical to walk in, but fashionable too. Having said this, many of us only have one pair of 'best' shoes and we often buy all the others as kind of... | |

| | A trip down memory lane!! | | Under age 40?
You won't understand!
You could hardly see for all the snow, Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set, "Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet." My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning. My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli. Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then. The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system. We all took gym, not PE...and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. Flunking gym was not an option...even for stupid kids!... | |

| | What is the best place to buy athletic shoes? | | Where do you shop for your athletic shoes? I'm looking for a new pair for the summer and would like to know where the best deals are. I found a great pair of Nikes at Shoe Carnival last night, but they did not have my size. Now I'm searching again! What is your favorite place to shop? Either online or traditional store is fine! | |
| | When to buy the brand names vs. knockoffs | | Saving money is always a good thing. There is nothing wrong with being financially conscientious at times and buying second-tier or discounted items rather than big-name brands. As with most things, however, some exceptions do exist; in certain cases, brand names are definitely your best bet. Find out which products are worth big bucks and which ones aren’t.Bottled water
Among man’s most basic needs, water is a very common supermarket purchase. The bottled water industry is so lucrative today that more brands and variations of the stuff exist than ever before. As long as it does not appear tinted or impure when you grab it from the shelf, go for the generic brand; it can add up to a surprising savings each month. Milk
There isn’t a huge difference between brand names such as McArthur or store versions for a lesser price. The USDA regulates the homogenizing process necessary to bottle and sell milk, so there is no reason why you shouldn’t save a few bucks by opting for the store brand.Knives
