    Jewellery, gents?

    Does a gun count for jewelry?;) If, so I wear that. Watch, always. Rings, never, not even my wedding ring. I have several rings, they have all sat in a drawer for years and years. Cufflinks, not as often as I used to, but every once in a while I put the french cuffs on again.

    What do you look like?

    1976 actually. It was originally the Pietro Beretta. I have one. They are nice enough weapons, but I never would enjoy carrying one. They are quite large and bulky. They are reliable until a couple thousand rounds have gone through them then the slide stop has a tendency to break, not a...

    Death

    Sometimes just writing it or talking about it makes one feel better. Death certainly does not discriminate, it cares not your status in life. The one thing death should not do is make walking dead of the still living. I've seen it happen as have some others through their shared stories here...

    Death

    Hondo, I pray for you for strength. I can sympathize more than I would wish to be able. My grandmother is dying now. I have been to see her a couple of times this week in the hospital. she has a chance, but it grows smaller each day. She is 94 and has a had a good,long life. I had my...

    Feathers in your hatbands?

    I don't think any of my hats have feathers any more. I just don't like the look with them on me.

    Moderators not doing their jobs...

    Goes back to that adage, don't type something that you wouldn't say directly to their face if you were sitting at a table with them. Now for me I can be abrasive anyway and and probably tell people like I see it more than I ought. But I do try on most occasions not to allow myself to get into...

    Was wool felt even used...?

    All i can say is we had sheep while i was growing up and they all got rained on and every last one of them kept their shape and none of them died from the water. And they seemed to live just as long as the rabbits, badgers and beavers with fur. Hmmmm.

    Yes it certainly does. How can that be? It's wool.

    30's Barbering

    Caponio, any chance you or someone else here post some pics showing the different styles and saying how they are cut like that , the terms I mean. I just recently grew my hair out after shaving it for 7 or 8 years. I'd like to have some styles to show pics to my barber. He'd know how if I...

    Show Us Your Handwriting - Vintage Penmanship!

    They say you can tell a lot about one's personality by their penmanship. Not sure how to do that, but I have heard it a number of times.

    Memories of Chile

    My college roommate's family lived outside Filadelphia, Paraguay after escaping Germany. They left there and went to the US some years later. I flew a very old DC3 there once. Beautiful place. Flew a smaller plane out. They were going to use it for some commercial purpose. It was my...

    Show Us Your Handwriting - Vintage Penmanship!

    Ah, mine is shamefully too monstrously appalling to post. Arthritis from broken fingers has completely ruined my penmanship. It does remind me of a story however. Of sitting in a tobacco shop smoking a pipe and talking writing with Shelby Foote. He wrote all of his books by each day...

    Memories of Chile

    Ah yes, pisco. Had some just the other day and thought of old times. Me and my friend Huck walking and talking economics in gardens with our friend Augusto.

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    Oh I forgot to add on that Sangria recipe, you can eat the fruit afterwards. However, be warned, it is some potentate stuff. It'll stay good for several days in the fridge, and after several days that fruit is 'ripe'. A straw hat, my guayaberra, a nice cigar, Cuban music and sangria or...

    Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

    I am primarily a beer man. All kinds of beer, though I really like dark beers. In the summer though, the crisp cold beer hits the spot. For martinis I prefer gin, though I don't often drink mixed drinks anymore. For Tennessee whiskey I prefer George Dickel. Bourbons and scotches I usually...

    Refused Service (formerly "Politics")

    It was only the flag for one group of the southern armies. There are actually numerous battle flags and state confederacy flags. Unfortunately it was adopted by the Klan and then many proud southerners tried to take it as their own, but it will always have that taint attached to it I'm afraid.
