    Irony that the "best" training is in a suboptimal technique.

    Now that's what I call irony!

    To Enjoy Champagne, Treat It Like Beer

    Treat it like beer? Should I drink it by the pint?

    Minneapolis remodelers turn up old hoard of hooch

    Unlike ancient bottles of wine that have been found, this stuff is probably pretty good.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    The size depends on the fabric you are using. Needles are pretty universal as far as matching needle to machine. If my 60 year old Singer can use the same needle as a new Bernina, I'm pretty sure your Tivax also uses a universal.

    The Retronym Game

    This is so. "ink pen" is almost only found in regions where the "pin/pen" merger has completed - which is mostly the American South and parts of the lower Midlands.

    Bed Bugs and Safe Collecting

    There sure are some ridiculously hardy critters out there. Bedbugs were mostly eradicated in the US during the initial "spray DDT everywhere" years, but even before DDT was banned the remaining bugs developed resistance to it. It's practically useless against bedbugs now.

    What's a good entry-level single malt?

    To each his own... I like Scotch and I love bourbon but I've never met an Irish whisky that I like. [huh]

    dear new neighbor

    Or you can report smelling marijuana smoke. That'll get the cops out faster than a murder.

    dear new neighbor

    Even better: "What are you yelling at ME for? You're the one who ran over my nail and beer bottle collection that I was airing out on my lawn!"

    Have any other men noticed this?

    And this is why I still rarely buy clothes without trying them on. LL Bean and Lands End have been pretty good about accurate measurements, though. I taped myself and ordered that size and they fit.

    1912 Gem Razor in bakelite box. Care?

    I can't think of any other plastics that were in common use at that time. Also, I think that Bakelite came in lots of colors, some light.

    Wearing a tie in a company that does NOT embrace ties?

    Oh I know. I guess I got spoiled working union jobs where the boss had to have an actual reason to fire you, beyond "I don't like the way you look".
