Do your running shoes have adequate arch support? I always have to add arch support to my running shoes so my ankles can stay stable. Also when I used to run long distance my coach made me do ankle strengthening exercises. It consisted of lifting a paint can full of sand up and down with my foot by flexing and pointing my toes a bit.

I thought they did--they're really nice NewBalances, but I could probably do with extra support. I'll grab some arch insoles from a drugstore and see how that works for me.

I hope that helps. :D

I agree - this made a world of difference in my gym shoes.

My dad has said repeatedly that the research he's seen shows that giving antidepressants to children can have terrible effects on their development, and it is theorized that it will make life all the more difficult to handle when they are adults because they never learn coping methods.

What I really don't get is why people wouldn't just stop and realize that the term "terrible twos" exists for a reason, and one should expect tantrums from toddlers, because they get frustrated at not understanding their feelings or being able to fully communicate their emotional needs.

I suppose that I would not be very good at Nyotaimori, because the idea of meat (or fish) touching my torso is really squicky. I could see the dress was thinly cut, but it still must have weighed quite a lot. Ew.

I really liked the first link in the post a lot. Thanks for sharing! :)

Every time I read about kids being given these drugs, it makes me want to vomit.

Re: Lady Gaga's unusual sartorial choice -

I sent the link to John Scalzi, the SF writer who put bacon on his cat a few years ago. ;)

And as for the best gay characters - it's a nice list, but omitting the entire cast of Dykes to Watch Out For was criminal. Ditto Hothead Paisan!

I, too, wondered where Hothead Paisan was!

I had to put my cat on Prozac recently too and it made her much shyer and spacier. The vet said it was ok to cut the dosage to every other day and it's changed her to a lot closer to her old self. Only without the pissing on my stuff.
