    Would you attend an event or dinner alone?

    Hi I travel a little, and I just moved to a new state so I eat out quite a bit by myself. I'd rather be out of the apartment then cook for myself. I do try to avoid restaurants during their more crowded times. I don't commonly go to movies by myself, or concerts, but a 60 year old guy I work...

    When did city slickers start wearing jeans?

    Hi The comments on wearing dress pants and shirt while doing yard work always cracks me up. We were at one of the better restaurants in a nice neighborhood for an early nice dinner for our anniversary (say 5:30 PM). A fifty year old guy was drinking his post yard mowing single malt Scotch...

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi I remember when a 16 ounce Pepsi was a LARGE, now a small is 24 ounce and a medium is a quart with free refills. I'd hate to work out how many calories that was. It's too bad that the real sugar cane drinks are so expensive. Later

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi GAWD that brings back memories. I graduated from HS before 1980, we had a calm, quiet, NICE graduation ceremony. No cheering, no high fives, no doing the wave, etc. For one thing, it was too hot in the gym. The NEXT graduation I attended was in 1998 for a nephew. Before the ceremony...

    Heel Height: Packer vs standard work /chucka height??? 2" vs 1"

    Thanks, good explanation of heel height etc. I knew that the heels were to catch the stirrup, but hadn't considered the other stuff. I wear ropers at work (in Oklahoma in an office) but most of my better (and much older) boots are 2 inch riding heels with cricket cruncher toes. Later

    Too short a brim or am I overthinking it?

    Hi Tony Gawd, I can't hardly stand exactly 2.5 inch brims. A lot of my fedoras are closer to three inches than 2.5. On the other hand, Both hats look good on the good counselor. IFFFFF you really don't like the Falcon Park, then sell it, but I wouldn't take a huge hit on the price. It looks...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    Hi I remember seeing a picture of one of Rusty's hats with a small brass horse head attached the the ribbon. I wasn't just seeing things was I? I don't ride horses, and I sure don't own one. Did you know that the darn things eat and process a LOT of food every day whether you ride them or...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    Hi I distress my hats on my own. The day after picking up my John Wayne hat, I walked Shiloh Military Park. When I got as far away from the car as was possible and still be in the park, it started raining. The hat was TOTALLY soaked, still looks new now though. I also wore it hiking in the...

    Acrylic "Crackle" paint, anyone tried it on patch?

    Hi Crackle paint is used to make new stuff look like the paint is decades old and is flaking off. Just curious, why would you want to use it on a patch? A WW2 jacket during WW2 wouldn't look old. Later

    Question to American teachers

    Hi There probably isn't a word for it in the US, but you can be assured that some doofus will make up a new word for it because they need something to write a thesis on for their PhD in Education. Sorry, my Dad gave me a rundown on his first 20 years of teaching, basically you have two ways...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Oh, I guess I kind of thought that part was obvious. I mean, some people actually drink vodka, not me, but some people. Grapefruit? I did have a girl tell me that the grapefruit juice made the grapefruit and vodka drink have negative calories. I that that was what we refer to as a "missed...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    O.K., my personal opinion is that Perfectly good and Vodka don't belong together. I can't drink the stuff, smells like Kerosene. Gin I can handle. Later

    The general decline in standards today

    Hi My cousin (now deceased) ran a vocational school in Kentucky. He lost his right hand in a corn picker back in the early 1970's and had to shake hands with the left from then on. I'm sure that brought out a lot of confidence in his students. later

    Does anyone else hate the 'Regards' signature

    Hey, "Later" is what I use. Of course I use it because it's somewhat unique, easy to type, and it seems less caring or confrontational than your obedient servant, love, or some other stuff. My favorite is from Animal House: Respectfully Submitted, Douglas C. Neidermeyer Sargent at Arms...
