What happened to the joke forum?
When she left me she took some of my personal things with her, like my mood ring. I'm not sure how I feel about that.- Monte.C

Wise words to live by (jacket related)
Thanks a lot for that. Oh I'm with you - I wish a bunch of us could do this over a beer or a coffee. Some people won't like the sound of this, but I identify very strongly with how they describe sigma males. Maybe a lot of us do. I honestly don't care about a hierarchy in the traditional sense...- Monte.C

Wise words to live by (jacket related)
I would have to say that's the goal of men's fashion. To carve your place in the hierarchy. To impress the women and to impress the other men. To have impact and influence and even to suggest dominance. Sure, we'll say it's to impress ourselves - as a personal expression - but that idea isn't at...- Monte.C

Wise words to live by (jacket related)
Yup it's all good. With all due respect, I thought it might be a bit of a language gap. At the risk of sounding argumentative: Vanity: inflated pride in oneself or one's appearance. Conceit. (From Merriam-Webster.) Pride is another one. We use the word as if it were a positive, but for someone...- Monte.C

"Vanity" is still a dirty word. I prefer self respect, self esteem, dignity.- Monte.C

Wise words to live by (jacket related)
I like that. We're thinking along the same lines. I started to lose a bunch of weight. Got tired of feeling like a slob, with nothing but more slob to look forward to in the future. Changed a bunch of things in my life and I continue to trim up. The problem is you start feeling really, really...- Monte.C

Explain the 3-Sphere to me.
Yes. It's just like divining. Like divining for water or minerals. It is 100% valid. However, there are many "magician" types who don't believe in it one bit, but manage to convince some people that they can do it. Then there are many who do believe they can do it, when in fact they can't really...- Monte.C

Explain the 3-Sphere to me.
This conversation will continue to be dangerous, like politics or religion, in that most of us are likely to be firmly entrenched in our own specific set of beliefs. Myself, I'm absolutely certain of my deeply held understanding of radical subjectivity/a consciousness-based reality. But I've...- Monte.C

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
I love that about it. It's a real head-turner, in subtle ways. They say that the clothes don't make the man, but someone here said recently that the clothes are a reflection of the man's character. I love the kinds of attention this gets, the aura it gives off. It's just so much fun. Being the...- Monte.C

Kind of amazing when you think about it. It's a position one might consider kind of mundane, not highly skilled or anything, not requiring a certification or degree. But then Gail. There's a person who fit so perfectly in the position she held that one couldn't even imagine someone better. A...- Monte.C

Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear
Why is the Schott 141 in brown look so black? I asked Google but it linked to the Schott forum, so it's a dead link. Then I again discussed THAT problem with Denise over there. She doesn't seem to care. So why is the brown Schott 141 so black? Will it break in toward brown, I hope?- Monte.C

"Good morning Denise. I'm still running Google searches for bits of Schott info that I know used to be here on the forum.

Besides leather jackets - and denim I suppose - what else improves with age, increases in value with more break-in/wear? I'm having trouble thinking of anything. A good wok. A cast iron frying pan. What else?- Monte.C

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Pretty darn cold this morning. Magnoli U-boat jacket. It has belted sleeve cuffs and a belted back. I love this jacket. I have a friend from Ukraine, he looks like a USSR propaganda poster, like 6'2" and carved from granite. He said in his home town if you saw a guy looking like this you...- Monte.C
