Ahh, that's your problem. You're buying the super thin cheapo tights. I avoid those like the plague because they never, ever last. Buy the Hue brand or buy Target's Merona line. Those will last you a whole lot longer.

High socks can be folded down. I wear high socks with my knee high boots and they're always too high for the tops of the boots. I fold them down so I don't rip my tights.

"In American English, the difference between pantyhose and tights is determined in the weight of the yarn used and the thickness to which the garment is knitted."

So basically, tights are usually thicker than pantyhose and are usually more opaque. Part of it is a generational association. I never wore pantyhose because it was something I associated with my mom and grandma, but I wore tights, which was fine because other girls my age wore them too.

Are you sure you're not wearing a type of pantyhose that's just a little thicker? My tights generally develop holes, not runs (so there wouldn't be any need for nail polish), and don't really need to be handwashed. I've been tossing mine into the washing machine for years because they're durable and they seem to retain their elasticity better.

I wear boots a lot and they don't usually catch on tights. Try wearing a pair of high socks with them. Even if you have to fold them down, they'll provide a buffer between your legs and the boot edge or zipper.

It probably depends on what you're wearing. In the winter, I wear a lot of boots and I'll wear tights with them because they allow me to keep my legs warm and still wear skirts and dresses. When I'm wearing a dress or skirt without boots (like with just regular heels or flats) I'll still wear tights that are a little more sheer, but never pantyhose (unflattering, too thin, tear too easily, don't keep my legs warm at all).

Are you not wearing tights properly to only get two or three wears? I have cheap tights from Target that I've had for years. None of them have holes, either.

I used to have a boss who wore white pantyhose. And my grandma used to wear pantyhose all the time. Nowadays, women wear tights. Different colors, opacity, and patterns make it a lot easier to cover your legs without looking frumpy.

Starbucks Thinks You Might Prefer Blondes, Debuts New Lighter Roast

I tried it this morning and wasn't impressed. I don't want burnt-tasting coffee, but the blonde roast had a weird tangy taste to it.

You took a comment that had nothing to do with homeless people and made it about homeless people.Yes, we should all help those in need. But this article isn't about that. Many of us are fortunate to have jobs. That doesn't mean we're insensitive to the need of those less fortunate; it means that we're in a better position to afford the basic human needs for health, like adequate shelter and nutritious food.

V..C..R...

Step into the light. We usually have two shows recording and run into trouble when we're watching live sports, too. Being able to record more than two shows at once would be pretty helpful. I hope TiVo will offer that eventually.
