The Klingon home planet is called Qo'noS (pronounced Kronos), but it's also been referred to as Klin and Kling.

In Star Trek (the movies), the Federation has a space dock for its ships. Where do the Klingons and Romulans keep their spaceships? Presumably in a spacedock of their own?

The Klingon Homeworld is Qo'nos. (Pronounced Ko-noas... think "toast" without a t, the s is elongated slightly) Yes, the Romulans inhabit Romulus, because we're going to ignore the silliness that is destroying their world with a surprise supernova. Though they've never shown spacedocks, I would imagine that a D'deridex (the Romulan Warbird to us Terrans) would need similar facilities solely because of its size. And while a B'rel (the small Klingon Bird of Prey) could certainlyland (and did, in STIII and IV), I'd have serious doubts about a K'tinga (cruiser), and I'd entirely rule out the possibility of a Vorcha class attack cruiser safely landing, so Klingons almost certainly have spacedocks too.

I just love this forum. I feel all warm and fuzzy with my fellow Trekkers.

Klingons have and use starbases just like the Federation. It's just that they haven't appeared on screen in the shows or movies. There are several mentions of Klingon starbases in Deep Space Nine, which also give an example of a non-starbase dock for starships (the station itself is Cardassian, run by the Federation, and virtually every kind of ship known was seen to dock there at some point). It's reasonable to presume that Romulans also maintain starbases although no direct mention is made of them.
And just to geek out completely, a space dock and a starbase aren't the same thing. A space dock is the starship equivalent to a dry dock, and is specifically for repairing ships, where a starbase is a space station. For example, the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on and near Mars comprises several space docks and space stations, in addition to the ground facilities.

I have a lovely pair of brown high-heeled shoes that I would love to wear with my (several) brown or green skirts. The problem? I can only wear said shoes with socks or tights, otherwise they give me blisters. I vastly prefer socks or thigh-highs, and despise panty-hose. I only have black socks and tights (50% of my wardrobe is black...). This looks stupid to me, so I don't end up wearing my brown shoes, and only wear said skirts with my brown boots, where this isn't a problem.
So, if you were wearing brown shoes and a brown or green longish skirt (below the knee to mid-calf) what color socks or tights would you wear? White is too jarring. I hate taupe or nude pantyhose.
Help?
P.S. Yeah, I know, really dumb.

This is very much not a dumb question.
First off recognize that black and brown are both neutrals so you can wear black tights with brown shoes. navy is also a neutral, although with a black skirt and brown shoes it could get way too colorful... in a neutral kinda way ???
Burgundy or wine tights, or brown tights could look lovely though, as could a light brown/dark tan pair of tights (not unlike pantyhose in color but not sheer or prone to runs like hose).
If you are dressing in all dark neutrals, you could also use your tights as a 'pop of color' and go for red or yellow or a bright blue. This could also work if you are going for a color blocking look (coordinate your tights with your top color in that case).
