Ditto TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I got some black tights that are made from bamboo fibers at TJ Maxx in October. They are not control top. They''re fabulous. They are the best tights I''ve ever owned. I really like the bamboo fibers....they''re warm and soft. |

Well, I did order the Lady Day coat in Citron last week when it was on sale. I received it yesterday...and was sorely disappointed that it isn''t going to work for me. The waist band is too high for my busty shape. It makes me look shorter and wider. I really LOVE the color s... |

So, the Lady coat is now down to $250 with an extra 30% off making it $175. Would now be the time to jump on it or should I wait until Black Friday? |

First--I''m sorry about your family loss. 2nd. A few years ago, my first husband passed away. There was a lovely funeral and lots of people gave flowers and plants which was very nice at the funeral and viewing. However, it was a nightmare for me afterward. For those of you w... |

white gold hoop earrings
I''d like to get some white gold hoop earrings. Just plain & simple, maybe 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" diameter. I prefer the rounded hoop look over the ones that are made with square tubing. Any suggestions beyond Blue Nile? |

There are a lot of vacation rentals on St. John too. If you don''t have to have a resort, you can get some very nice accomodations. Many of them have private pools as well. Check out vbro.com & homeaway.com. |

I''ve lived in a few houses with these. I love the heat that they give off. It''s warm & toasty without the constant blower like forced air heat. They are slow to adjust though so if you want to get warm quickly you can''t...nor can you make the house cooler quickly...hot water... |

How do I go about getting on their email list? I would have thought since I''ve bought stuff and given them my email address for a login that they''d be sending me things, but I''ve never received a single email from them. Can my 11 year old son use his student ID to order stuff? |

Disregarding the color issue, the 2nd stone seems to have more "life" to it. I see some dead looking spots on the picture of the first. It really depends on your GF. Personally, I''d rather have a livelier stone even if it is slightly smaller. Have you seen these in person? ... |

I live in Indiana. Taxes on $160,000 house are around $1,200 but schools are lousy and I pay $3K more to send my son to a Blue Ribbon private school. So, I guess taxes are really $4,200 if I add in school. But considering I need to stay in the area for now, I love where I live and ... |

What color shoes with navy pants?
What do you think of navy dress pants? Are they too "old fashioned" looking? I actually look much better in navy than black and am considering getting a navy pants suit. But I don''t want to look to "IBM" either. I like the stretch wool pants from JCrew (I just got them in bl... |

Thanks. I think I''ll resist ordering the coat at the current $300 price and wait until December to see where the price goes. I''m hoping most people don''t like the citron color. I know it''s really bright and strange which I''m hoping would work out to my benefit. I saw they Jcre... |

JCrew Lady Day coat
I''ve been lusting after a new winter coat and the JCrew Lady Day coat has caught my eye. I especially love the citron color which I know is weird but I like it because it''s bright and fun. I have a blazer in a similar color that every time I wear it people comment on how good I look in... |

Thanks for the responses and PennQ thanks for the details. I have a rather strangely shaped kitchen. It's long and narrow. 18.5 feet long and 8' wide at the narrowest and 9.5 feet wide at the widest. Most all the cabinets, sink, stove need to go on a wall that has a slight L of 4' ... |

I don't think I've ever had a job where there is not some amount of this. Some places are worse than others. I used to think that workplaces ought to be "fair" and base project assignments, promotions etc. on people's actual abilitities and hard work. But that just doesn't seem to ... |

One of the best things you can do for dry hair is to wash is less frequently. Most people wash their hair way too often and the natural oils don''t have a chance to actually reach much of the length. Try going one more day than you normally would...so if you wash every other day, wash ev... |

Wow, thanks for the responses. I had no idea that the granite would damage my knives (although I''m not sure I care if I would have to replace my $2.99 IKEA knives once a year). I did know it could stain easily. I am not against cutting boards entirely, just want to know if they wo... |
