    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    The last tests you grade get better scores right?? Both parents were teachers, but neither drank. Dad had high blood pressure at my age 50-55, but mine's actually lower now. He probably should have drank more. Later

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Hi I spent a weekend in Chicago during the Winter once. The news said that the wind chill was under -100 Degrees F, but I think that they were exaggerating. It was below 0 degrees F, it was windy, and I was close to the Shedd aquarium. I was wearing an undershirt, a flannel shirt, a...

    Hat prices hurting hat comeback?

    Hi FORTUNATELY, I believe that Nutria are an invasive pest pretty much everywhere that they grow. From my limited knowledge Nutria are open season like Coyotes in many states. Some Louisiana police departments shoot them at night with infrared scopes as practice for their snipers. From...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Hi One Amber Woodchuck Cider, One Rumplemintz in Hot Chocolate, and a Shiner Holiday Cheer. All three were really good. I really like Cinnamon Schnapps in Hot Chocolate, but since this was someone else's party I took Schnapps with no color to it. Later

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hi Our little group from work got together and ate Split Pea Soup (with BACONNNNN) to watch the Exorcist. Great movie. We watched Waiting while we were cleaning up. Later

    Help needed for school farewell

    Hi I'm by no means an expert on how to dress, but the main thing is to keep it simple. The tie and the pocket square are close together and should match exactly or you should loose one. Red and Maroon don't match... I suggest keeping the tie. I would wear the plain black shoes with navy...

    New Bonnie and Clyde mini series on the History Channel

    Hi Tommy guns are pretty much THE machine gun, but I want to shoot the BAR sometime. Dad said that the instructor let them shoot once before they game them the "secrets". Aim at their thigh on your right, caress the trigger and let three or four rounds to off, this should put a few bullets...

    New Bonnie and Clyde mini series on the History Channel

    Hi My Dad shot a Tommy gun before going overseas for WW2 (as a weatherman). He said that they're hard to steer at best. If memory serves, and if the writer was correct, both Bonnie and Clyde were shot in the head by the Frank Hamer using a fairly low powered semi-automatic rifle. A Model 8...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Hi A DOG is man's best friend. Try this experiment to prove it. Put your wife and dog in the trunk of your car. Leave them in there for two hours and let them out. Which one acts glad to see you? The DOG.... :D Therefore the dog is man's best friend. Ahhhhhh

    two questions from a noob

    Hi You should search for the thread on getting a hat through airport security. They mention putting the hat in its own basket and putting a clear plastic bag over it. I've traveled a couple of times with a hat and I pretty much held it or wore it the whole way. Later

    A Day That Will Live In Infamy

    Hi My Dad, and several of his friends like to discuss the war. Dad was a weatherman on the way to the Pacific War. His main topic that he didn't like to discuss was a cocky pilot who wouldn't take an alternate landing sight on New Guinea. He got to Finschhafen at the same time as the storm...

    A Day That Will Live In Infamy

    Thanks Lizzie I thought it would be helpful here to put what appears to be the original quote (from Wikipedia): Originally Stephen Decatur, in an after-dinner toast of 1816–1820: “Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or...

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    Hi This whole thread reminds me of seeing a bunch of kids in Tuxes and dresses for Prom eating beside a bunch of us low lifes who were just going out for Dinner on Saturday night after shopping all day. Not a great restaurant, but not a great comparison either. I sort of felt bad for the...

    pls advise: Home made campaign hat / Montana crease

    Hi What Rusty said, and when you steam the hat to shape it (or wet it) put it on the kid's head and let it dry / cool down. At least that way it will fit his head. For a one day use, you should be o.k. Later

    pls advise: Home made campaign hat / Montana crease

    Hi I own a What Price Glory wool bush hat that I can't wear because it was soaked. I shrunk a lot when it dried, but mainly in the crown. The sweat and stayed ok. I would hesitate to steam much as heat and water shrink wool clothing. I haven't steamed wool hats much. I only owned two. I...
