Brenda, Brings back memories for me and most all of us I'm sure. The Mary Jane is the one little girl thing we can continue to do no matter how old we get. This makes it all the more fun. :)

sheilmarie, I love the variety of colors myself. Fun! The current style or fad is to wear shoes that don't match what you're wearing. The bright vibrant colors of the Chinese Mary Jane Ballet Flats are perfect for this. :)K

2uesday, Mary Janes are a shoe that fits into our ever changing lives. I love these Chinese Mary Janes, they are fun, comfy and of amazing quality given you can buy a pair for under $10.00 I'm buying the entire selection of colors for my oldest daughter who loves wearing Mary Jane Ballet Styled Flats. She's so going to love them. Plus, they don't take up much space, you can put up to six pairs in an old shoe box and stow them away in the closet. :)

It'll be 'A Walk in the Woods'. I've got it here to read but haven't pulled it out yet. Your recommendation has me nudging it up the pile. Thanks!

Thank you very much. :)

My sister sent me a copy of Bryson's walk down the Appalachian Trail. Can't remember the title but I loved it!

well done Jo! another milestone crossed

I love Mary Janes. I remember a white patent pair I bought for my daughter when she was about 2 or 3. Little girls are so much fun to dress up.

Thank you very much! And I'm glad it was useful. <3

Congrats, Jo! You really deserve it. It's always an great to read your tips and tricks. It is an inspiration too. All the best for the next 300 !

Very cute shoes, Katie. And they come in so many colors.

What about my eyes. Some people say I have blue eyes, others say green, gray, or hazel (depending on how big my pupil is). They also have a hint of yellow.

Haha, Matt must've known about colour temperature as well as being a well versed hacker!

I never used to bother about all of this, on the basis that I'm immortal and indestructible, and therefore I can abuse my geek body into infinity without a problem. Unfortunately, none of that is probably true.

I came to knowing about protecting your eyes on computers through a really strangled route. Matt from Death Note (the resident nerd) habitually wore orange lens goggles. Someone mentioned to me that it would be to protect his vision, given the amount of computer use he does.

Finally I learned about f.lux (from you) and I was dubious, but tried it. It's really harsh at first, as everything seems too dark. But your eyes soon adjust. It got to the point where I didn't notice it until f.lux was switched off. Then I backed very quickly away from the screen. It was dazzling! I couldn't believe that I used to stare at it for hours!

tl;dr Matt from Death Note does it. You do it. Now I totally do it. f.lux ftw!

Mmmm you're so right about that smell. I've got some good soup on right now
