    What Does The FL Think of So-called Black Friday?

    I don't have a problem with people shopping respectfully and responsibly any day of the year. The deals make things perhaps out of reach for some people affordable. There are lots of mom and pop businesses that rely on holiday sales. I'm against the mob mentality and people acting like animals...

    Would you attend an event or dinner alone?

    I attended a concert by myself this past weekend and had a blast! I made new connections and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would do it again!

    Would you attend an event or dinner alone?

    Do you think, though, that if it is a woman who is making chit chat with strangers, male or female, that she would be viewed differently than a man doing the same?

    Would you attend an event or dinner alone?

    There is no longer a golden era stigma of a lady going out "unescorted," however there is a social stigma for both genders now, it seems, for doing certain things alone. If you see someone eating alone in a non-fast food retaurant, the assumption is usually that they don't have friends. (But why...

    "Too good to use..."

    The value in an item is in the heart and mind of the owner. I find value in keeping some things "for good" meaning never. I have my own little private museum collections. They give me joy knowing they are there and when I look at them.

    New Old Stock/With Tags: To Wear or Not to Wear?

    ahaha every fall I look at them and think I should just do it! But I haven't the heart. Then again, I also have a bunch of other vintage jackets/coats (no tags) between me and them. It's a nice problem to have! :o

    New Old Stock/With Tags: To Wear or Not to Wear?

    Just an update: The two coats are still in my closet with the tags!

    "Too good to use..."

    I posted about a similar issue a while back. It's often a dilemma for me: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?38710-New-Old-Stock-With-Tags-To-Wear-or-Not-to-Wear&highlight=new+old+stock

    Blaming the Enforcers?

    I don't understood the use of extreme examples of overreactions to foolish behavior as a means to dismiss or excuse legitimate consequences for illegal behavior. I do, of course agree with you that the examples you gave are gross overreactions by those involved and damaging. I think we need to...

    Blaming the Enforcers?

    The people in question were found guilty and it's not clear their mug shots were posted. The police here don't post each and every one. The issue that stood out for me in the letter was that the father was angry his son and others were arrested for breaking the law.

    Blaming the Enforcers?

    The police mug shot section referenced in the letter is heavily moderated. They often leave abusive comments directed at the police but remove abusive comments directed at others.

    Blaming the Enforcers?

    I saw this in my local paper and it reminded me of the FL because of the discussions we've had on here about a lack of regard for personal responsibility and respect for authority. It's a response to a letter written by a father who is angry that his son was charged with underage drinking...

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    I accomplish good health and stand tall as it collapses around me. The alternative is collapsing with it. But I am not "doing nothing." I'm actually very active with spreading "the word."

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    Thanks. I learned the hard way by imbibing the poison. Never again if I can help it.

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    By not participating, it's possible to replenish and inspire others through example of sound and stylish living. By not fighting, there is energy to create something new outside of the paradigm. By feeling good about life, it makes easy to be friendly and welcoming to those who want to learn a...

    How do you stay inspired during uninspiring times?

    This is why I rarely post here any more. Sanctimonious assumptions and ludicrous condemnations of character are quite a bore.

    I have also been amassing lots of Sinatra. He's my go-to fellah for inspiration.
