    The Yoga Pants trend

    Hi I make a valiant attempt to NEVER need any form of service when in an airport. I park the car, check my luggage (nothing that's not disposable), get searched, set down and read. Get on the plane, read more, get somewhere, pick up the luggage, pick up a car, and get the heck out. I can eat...

    Oklahoma City Suggestions

    Hi What streets would border the area you're talking about? I've only been on the South side and came back to Wichita through Edmund. Thanks

    NPR: What Killed Men's Hats?

    Hi I'm not sure that this helps or proves your hypothesis, but... My father, a WW2 Veteran of the South Pacific, wore hats until sometime in the 1960's when his mother-in-law said his hat looked stupid. He wasn't bald in 1942, but was pretty much bald in 1945. He said that the comb-over...

    Oklahoma City Suggestions

    Hi One thing I noticed in looking around OKC is that most of the apartments were built in the 1980's. Thinking about it, same here in Wichita, there are several complexes within a mile of where we live, ONE is less than 10 years old. I'll probably get an apartment and start looking for a...

    Brim Curls: Kettles, Pencill, etc.

    Hi Check out Jimmy Stewart's hat in Cheyenne Autumn: Love it, but I"m getting kind of overwhelmed in Sunbody hats anyway. later

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Hi Hatman Jack MIGHT be willing to order one for you, but since he's in the blocking and shaping business... Um why? Being in Kansas, you should stop by Hatman Jack's anyway, he's put ribbons etc on all four of my Sunbody hats, and a Resistol. Later

    NPR: What Killed Men's Hats?

    Hi I think air conditioning is partly to blame. Thanks to that, you can stand to stay inside, in Alabama and Arizona in the middle of summer. You don't need the hat to shield your ears anymore. A second concept to blame is the hat-check girl. $0.25 a meal daily for a $10.00 hat gets pretty...

    Oklahoma City Suggestions

    Hi Right now, I'm looking for apartments. I'm more of a redneck than a city slicker even though a great uncle used to run a bar in downtown OKC somewhere back during prohibition. The kids are out of the house, and I'm not looking for another house to buy until I decide where I want to retire...

    Oklahoma City Suggestions

    Hi I just went to Oklahoma City for the day to search for a new place to live. My job is taking me to the South Side of Tinker AFB and I need a nice safe and inexpensive place to live with my stuff. The last time I lived in an apartment, I had new crappy furniture, no firearms, no tools, and...

    Heart attack {Chief000731 Carl}

    Hi Chief Welome home, take your time getting better and don't give up. Your chest will EVENTUALLY feel a lot better, but my Dad NEVER pushed a mower again. Everything else, sawing, etc, just not mowing, I guess it was the vibration, and the neighborhood kids needing a job. Later

    The jazz thread

    Hi, I played Trumpet in Marching band, Concert Band, and Pep Band in High School. I was technically good, but not an improvisor. I was fortunate enough to see Maynard Ferguson and Chuck Mangione live. Liked them both pretty well. Our high school band had 110 of 300 kids in the school, now...

    What Are You Reading

    Hi I'm reading trash, Dave Barry's I'll Mature When I'm Dead. It's a great book, I like his views on men versus women and their DNA. It all makes sense, which is of course bad since he's a journalist not a doctor. This is deep stuff, the chapter is called the Elephant and the Dandelion. Men...

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    Hi Going back to the original title of the thread, Customer Service. The REAL Customer Service DEPARTMENT is essentially the complaint department. I remember seeing joke on the order of, "No little boys and girls stay up at night dreaming of being in Customer Service." Yep, that's no joke...

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    Hi That reminds me of my late Dad. When gas prices went up last year, he said, "I need to get the good more expensive gas, while they still have it." Being a retired Math Teacher with a masters degree, people looked at him weird because I know a few of them thought he was serious. You...

    The Olympic torch relay it was all Adolf Hitler's flaming idea

    Ah yes the 2012 Olympic games. I target shoot, and am on several forums. One in particular goes crazy every two years because no one watches the shooting sports. I compete which is a blast, but watching other people shoot is like watching paint dry. They also don't like my ideas to make the...

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    Hi, fortunately he's not TOO disillusioned, he's working at a bank and trying to finish out an accounting degree and eventually a CPA, but one of his fellow high school grads earned her Bachelor's in Psychology and is working as a bank teller. We are agreeing in principle again. The...

    A Hat for Camp

    Hi Johnny Stratton hats makes hats in all sizes including long oval and round oval. They're very stiff, but can be re-shaped. I picked up a factory second or third at Levine's in StL, but it was a round oval and I eventually just gave it do a round headed dude a saw at a huge January campout...

    The Olympic torch relay it was all Adolf Hitler's flaming idea

    Yep, best uniform, worst people in them. Bummer it was a great design, great color scheme, etc. Looked it up, the Pet Rock was invented and marketed by Gary Dahl, but he doesn't appear old enough to have been with "those" marketers. Gary isn't a particularly Germanic name anyway. Later

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    Hi Edward I agree with you in principle, but not economically. I can afford to pay say $5,000 a year for a "worthless" liberal arts degree so that my offspring will be well-rounded etc. The problem here in the US, is that there are few if any Universities and/or Colleges that offer a degree...
