My wife got me this in the sometime in the 90's... No need to change at my age....

Had been away from the site for awhile, but since returning, I find it often freezes with half a page unloaded, or completely locks up with no response short of closing entire tab / sometimes rebooting completely. Posting photos was - for me - a difficult task. The ads are a distraction /...

Maddie... She was a chocolate lab/pit mix. My soul dog...my shadow. Got her when she was 4 months and I was 65...my first dog ever. We did just about everything together...we were seldom apart for her 10 years on earth. She had many quirks, one being that she wanted a long walk every morning...

A new Stetson Whippet in Tawny. Never heard of them before I was searching for info about my new rescued pup, 5 5 year old Whippet/Lab mix saved from euthanasia. A google link led me here to a thread about Whippet hats. Figured the only correct way to walk my whippet was to be wearing a...

Hard to choose a favorite as I love sandwiches and would be very happy to live on them. 1.- Fresh picked beefsteak tomato from my garden, Hellman's Mayo, and salt on white bread. 2.- Taylor ham, mayo on fresh hard roll. (First had these in late 60's at a deli in River Edge, NJ.) 3.- Pulled pork...

Morning coffee and some Lane TK-6 cherry blend in a Dr. Grabow Royalton Rustic quarter bent.

Is it just me, or does the NEW hat he took off the dead guy look too small for his head? Bring back his old hat!

That's a great story, Chief. I'm too new here to hijack a thread, and I retired only as a Detective Sergeant, but I'll bet if one of the "Senior Officers" here started a "Detective's War Story" thread.....we could fill it with laughs a-plenty!

I was a Detective and Detective Supervisor from 1983 until I retired in 2001. Never wore a fedora, but always wore suits and ties. Wish I had gotten into fedoras back then. When I became a Sergeant, I made sure my guys responded to any call out in a jacket & tie, regardless of the hour. An old...

I hope someone can help me with some information. I've read descriptions of the Iconoclast, and know it has a 2 5/8 brim, but can someone tell me the height of the crown? I remember someone on this board passed on it because the crown was too low? Seems like a great price for a fur felt...

Fletch.....like Baby Face Nelson being shot at Little Bohemia and dying before Dillinger..... ..and as I sit here, I realize I wouldn't mind seeing this flick again....

I saw it at the 10:30 AM showing in Middletown, NY. There was a decent sized audience for a Wednesday morning. I enjoyed the movie, but I think I was expecting a bit more. It was beautifully filmed....captured the texture of the times...but there were some liberties taken with the history...

Nice look, Dinerman...I'm interested to know about the eyeglass / sunglass frames as I'm looking for something like them. regards / Mike

I purchased a fawn Banjo in April. It's my first "real" hat so to speak, and it seems to be the one that ends up on my head each morning as I leave he house for work....regardless of which hat I think I'm reaching for!! It gets softer and better fitting each day with normal wear...

I know I'm rather new here, but my wife and I liked Australia. Bought our own copy, actually... Last movie watched was Curious Case of Benjamin Button when we bought the BluRay. Really love that movie. What did everyone think of Doubt?.....
