Thin ties...any thoughts?
I like that, and I am instantly seeing that with a light green shirt, a purple or dark blue narrow lapel suit, and a straw stingy. And Ronsir Shurons. A silver ring on the finger and a silver tie bar. Green socks. I'm not sure about the shoes, though.- Dr Doran

ANZAC Day - 25th April
Whilst in Turkey I visited the Gallipoli museum. Wonderful. On the walls were photographs of a reunion of Turkish and Australian soldiers which occurred at some point in the last 20 years. They were very old men, shaking hands and smiling. The tour guide, one Nursel Demirdelen, sang Waltzing... -
LEATHER RESTORATION
No, this isn't about The Village People. Rather, about restoring leather in bags, shoes, and such. I was inspired by the Exotic Boots thread, but that is about exotics and we need to know about cowhide. I've looked for other threads on this topic but only found small references hither and yon. I...- Dr Doran

Or just put the list up on the fridge, and mention that this is the serious cleaning period of the year, and say that you'll be working on it and if she feels like it she can help you. Work hard on these things, show her you are earnest, and if she wants to help, let her ... and if she wants to...- Dr Doran

Yeah, but that has been frowned upon after 1618 or so.- Dr Doran

Very smart. Very, very smart. Now tell us how you eat on $25 a week on that other thread and my already high impression of you will rise far into the ionosphere.- Dr Doran

Excellent points, Joie, and a very important distinction that you are making! That's why the stern staredown routine might work better than the faking-being-perfect routine.- Dr Doran

No, I find you quite brilliant. As for people bursting in, or breaking any other rule. The thing to do is to have a very serious (not aggressive, just somber) chat with them in which you explain to them the HORRIBLE THING that happened which has caused you yourself to follow that rule and...- Dr Doran

And things are about to get worse with my in-laws. Due to an event less than two years ago, I stopped any involvement with religion and ralized that I was, in fact, an atheist and that I had been mentally bending over backwards to fit this fact into a position acceptable to the orthodoxy -- but...- Dr Doran

This is a bigger issue -- some people just don't understand others' desire to be alone and independent. They feel that it is necessary to form a social bond as intensely as possible. By keeping at most 6 feet from you at all times. Often they come from countries where this is more the practice...- Dr Doran

Sorry, I cannot resist. I know this terrain. This is a tough time. In my case, my mother in law is wonderful, my father in law a raging freak. An alcoholic religious fanatic with graduate degrees in 1.) business, 2.) theology, and 3.) psychology -- so as a result he is an 1) overly...- Dr Doran

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Big Man, Dr Quest, good points. I did get the "important" comment last semester. I had been auditing Intro to Demography (fine fine class -- really makes history, economics, policy, morality, and the world in general more comprehensible, highly recommended). About 5 weeks in, as the... -
The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Very good. My latest: whilst in the Japanese Tea Garden at Golden Gate Park (SF) on Saturday, my wife was assisting our toddler to ascend a large (at least 10-12 feet high) arch-shaped climbing-bridge and she was climbing it herself. I stood on the ground in case either started to fall. Some... -

What age should a guy stop wearing a bike jacket without a bike?
My formula gives 91, but probably it's similar to yours. We can split the diff. And mine is proprietary as well, before anyone asks; I'll take it (and my bike jacket) to my grave.- Dr Doran
