  1. I would look at

     

    https://www.healthyfeetstore.com/

     

    You can use the search feature to look for exactly the kind of shoe you are looking for. They have categories for plantar fasciitis, diabetes, arch support....etc. Try narrowing the search to find exactly what you are looking for.

     

    My son has serious foot and ankle problems, and we have started using this website for all of his shoe needs and have been happy.

     

    Yes its helpful I also found orthofeet.com for the shoes that I want and other suggestion are helpful as well but I guess I must visit a store with Father to buy orthopedic shoes so that salesperson can guide us more well rather then we just offer it online and don't get the product we actually want.

     

    Thanks to all for valuable suggestion

  2. My father is a diabetic patient and his doctor suggested him to exercise daily specially jogging in park or any good relaxing environment. Recently my father diagnosed with plantar fasciitis problem and simple running shoes is creating pain while jogging. We asked for doctor, he recommended to buy orthopedic shoes for plantar fasciitis that have specially created for diabetic patients that have orthotic insoles with good cushioning support.

    I am looking for suggestions from where I can buy this type shoes or which one is good for him.

  3. Spaghetti and eggs. I cook spaghetti noodles (Or plunge leftover spaghetti into boiling water for a minute to reheat), toss it into a frying pan that has some melted butter, then beat some eggs (I usually do two per adult serving and one per kid serving) and toss in with the spaghetti. Cook until eggs are done, and sprinkle parmesan on top if I'm feeling fancy. Other wise just salt and pepper and eat. 

    It's our standard 'just got home from a trip or a long day' meal because we always have eggs and spaghetti noodles in the house. 

     

    It sounds gross but it's really good. My daughter throws in some frozen peas at the end and has been known to add diced ham and stuff but I'm a purist. 

    Thanks for sharing such a recipe. Although how was the taste of it.

  4. Yep, we have used them several times.  That's how I manage to see dd at all.  :-)

     

    In addition to carrying on something **small** that will stow under your seat (a purse or *small* backpack/laptop case), you can purchase ($) a full size carry-on or  a checked bag at the time you book your flights, so it's not that you *can't* take luggage.  (If you add luggage later, after buying your ticket, the price per item ($$) goes up, and even more ($$$) if you decide to check something last minute at the airport.)

     

    The biggest changes for us were 1) no assigned seats unless you buy them, 2) no food or bev service at all, and 3) the seats don't recline at all.

     

    That said, I'm sending four family members on Spirit for my dd's wedding weekend half a continent away.  I purchased a checked bag for each (due to tux rentals and formal gowns) and an assigned seat so they could all sit together, and it was still $150 cheaper per person than the nearest competitor.

     

    hth!

     

    Thanks for sharing your personal experience dear. I will try it soon for my next visit. :)

  5. Octavia Butler is on my list for later this year, for sure: I've read a number of her novels over the years, but plan to re-read/pre-read a bunch of them for our Dystopian Lit class. Right now, I'm stalled in the vanilla-flavored feminist dystopias of the 70s and 80s. I've found these to be rather hit-and-miss, but I am currently enjoying the second of Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue series, The Judas Rose. It's about a future where women (in the 80s) were stripped of their adult rights and made permanent second-class citizens. It's also about a group of linguist families that facilitate human interaction with alien species by interfacing with aliens from birth, thus becoming native speakers of alien languages, something no other under humans can do. I studied psycholinguistics in my past, so it's interesting to me from that POV, as well as the dystopian/feminist aspect. 

     

    I'm also reading Cane River, by Lalita Tademy - a fascinating exploration of the author's ancestresses, beginning with a mulatto slave in Louisiana and continuing to the author's own mother. It's a fictionalized account of 4 generations of women, very fascinating, well-researched and well-written. Reminds me a bit of Homegoing, but less brutal/gritty, and real, in the sense that the author is imagining the stories of the women who she has extensively researched and has many photos, documents, etc. about. 

     

    I just finished Drown by Junot Diaz. His stories are largely autobiographical, about his family, his childhood in the Dominican Republic, his move to New Jersey and his teen years there. This is the second book of his stories I've read - I read This Is How You Lose Her several years ago, which is about his "character" Yunior's adult life and relationships with women. In both cases the stories are brutal, gritty, but just stellarly written. One of the purposes of reading is to live lives utterly foreign to your own, and this writer gives me the opportunity to inhabit a reality that is - thankfully - quite foreign to my own experience. I like how his stories embrace a shifting cast of interrelated characters, and how some of them take alternate points of view on similar events. These stories aren't for the faint-hearted, and they are rather depressing, but broadening, too.

     

    Also finished this week: Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan, which I didn't much care for, Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which I loved, and Jim Butcher's Storm Front, a mildly entertaining story about a wizard detective I read because dd did.

    Thanks for the detailed reply. Its worth it.

  6. That is the beauty of Facebook. I have moved, not that much, but enough, and others have moved and without it my past as a married woman would be a black hole, because I would never keep up with people snail mail. 

    I second him, That Facebook has their own policy related to managing people and their relation.
