    Show Us Your Purchases....GUYS !

    At the Outlets a couple weeks ago, doing "back to school" shopping for my wife (teacher) I found these at the Allen Edmonds outlet... $375 retail, I think $129 in the outlet... Normally these are a plain leather sole, but this pair was a special order with a rubber overlay (still leather sole...

    Quality shoes for women

    Hi Ladies! Something that comes up from time to time between my wife and I. I tend to like spending a lot of $ ($100-300) on a pair of quality shoes that I expect to last a lifetime, look great and be comfortable. Allen Edmonds is my "go to" for USA made, recraftable, and comfort, but I...

    Glasses for scotch and other obscure barware

    Hello all! Wondering if anyone has recommendations on classy, yet not outrageously priced scotch glasses. I haven't had much luck looking them up online. Is it called something other than a scotch glass? Also, does anyone know of a complete list of what type of glass goes with various...

    I really do hate tomatoes... fortunately they're relatively soft when thrown. It's a pain cleaning them out of my hat though.

    Not a Lady A fan at all... if they come on the radio I switch channels. Not that I think they're bad musicians, just don't care for the music. Miranda seems to be the real deal for sure.

    AJ is another of the "good ones". Garth is a mixed bag.. As far as newer, I like a lot of Brad Paisley, and oddly enough Taylor Swift, though I think she's more pop than country. Miranda Lambert is pretty decent too.

    Hat protection

    Indeed. My mother in law to be is Italian, very sensitive, and has the maiden name "Gambino" keeps one on their toes.

    Hat protection

    Well, therein lies the problem. My current umbrella was a gift from my soon to be parents-in-law, and was supposed to be "a really nice one". I'm sure I'll get over it eventually, but I'd feel bad replacing it.

    Yea, I really don't like "pop" country... Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, etc. I'm a big fan of the Outlaw variety (Cash, Jennings, Jr., DAC, etc), and Western. Plus the sub-genre "Texas" country (Pat Green, Ray Willie Hubbard (the wiley llama), Gary P Nunn, Jerry Jeff Walker, etc)

    Well I just moved to the area. I listened to a bit of his music last night after reading this and... not really my style. I'm more of a Johnny Cash guy. Though I'll often be found cruising a long with some Sinatra, Armstrong, Fitzgerald, Charlotte Church, AC/DC, there's really no telling...

    Hat protection

    Bingo! The problem I have with umbrellas is... I don't have a great one. If there's any wind at all it just flips inside out, plus I have to figure out what to do with it when I go inside somewhere. I usually don't feel the need for any hat protection, especially in snow etc, I usually wear...

    While I admit it's not disimilar, I hardly think of him as the archetype of a country singer... Besides the fact that I *LIKE* country music, and I've never heard of him. This is more my view of country singer
