    Can I taste that again?

    I first learned about bitter melon at a little place called Pete's Diner on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. I probably had it before but never thought too much about what "that bitter taste" in my food was. The owner is Chinese (from Malaysia) and every day she serves a vegetarian plate. So...

    Hair cuts

    I went to the barbershop today and and asked for a medium pompadour, part on the left, tapered in the back and pointed sideburns. I'm quite happy with the results - I'll get a photo up tomorrow when I have some better lighting. It came out something like #33 in this thread (the nice guy haircut).

    Special Delivery

    My former place of employment displayed a number of Depression-era murals. Visitors and family members of staff loved to come and look at them. Additionally, an area in which I routinely worked was lit with lamps designed (I believe) by Carl Paul Jennewein. It was probably one of the most...

    Need Barber advice for a New Haircut Style

    I would like something like this myself. Lately, I've been getting a taper cut. I'm going on brief trip south and I think I have found the right barber to go to - provided he's still cutting hair. There was an article in the Virginian Pilot about him four years ago (March 13, 2003): "A...

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    Years ago when I lived in Boston my dad was in town on business. We went out to dinner at a stodgy restaurant on Winter or Summer street in Boston, can't remember which. I was burning up in my blazer and without really thinking started to remove it. One of the waiter's assistants immediately...

    Basic Training (Boot Camp) During WWII

    Some of these threads bring back neat memories for me. Years later...my father was at Fort Ord in the mid-fifties. I think he was in the Transportation Corps. I don't remember too many stories. He did tell me about "WPLJ" (white port / lemon juice :confused: ) though. It was a drink so...

    Help with strange phone calls

    Does Caller-ID remove/strip the country and zone codes of international phone calls? If so, that might explain the odd hours of the phone calls and the six digit number.

    Nutrition and exercise!

    That's amazing! Congrats! It sure feels good, doesn't it? I feel so much better having lost all that weight. Once I started to crack some of my old bad eating habits it started to get easier but that took a long time to do. I really don't have the urge to pick up bad food or beverages in the...

    Nutrition and exercise!

    So true... I bought a spinning bike. In addition to working out in a gym I spin 3x a week to the "fitness series" set of videos called Spinervals. The competition series videos are designed for triathletes. I use a heart rate monitor and try to keep focused. The hardest part for me was...

    Comfort and dress shoes

    Can you opt for AE's $100 charge to get them "custom" ordered? It might not be necessary or worth it for a 1/2 size difference. I try to get the word out about this because not everyone knows - I sure didn't when I first had my issues. I wear a D on the right and a EEE on the left (leg brace...

    Comfort and dress shoes

    Thanks - I'll give that a shot. I guess I learned how to tie mine the wrong way somehow - they're constantly coming untied or getting loose. Barry

    Apple iPhone

    I might go for it - my current wireless contract expires in a couple of months. It would be nice to have something that can actually sync with my Mac Mini :) . Is it true that for first 30 days or so sales will be limited to customers with *existing* Cingular/AT&T qualified service plans...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    I bought from Optics Planet. They have 52mm, 55mm and 57mm and lots of options to pick from within each size. I selected amber lenses, polarized and the bayonet temple. The 52mm are a tiny bit big on me, I think. The frames and lenses are lightweight. I'm not sure how much knocking around...
