    Tattoo Help?

    Step 1: Find a good shop and artist in Manchester (assuming that's still your location). Many shops have portfolios online so you can look to see who's a good artist that works in a style you like. Step 2: Tell him/her what you just posted.

    Any ladies here shave 'vintage'?

    Following the lead of many of the other gentlemen around here, I switched to a double-edge razor early this year. I have been quite satisfied with that choice - no more razor burn, no more absurdly expensive cartridges, a much more aesthetically pleasing shaving implement. So on a whim I got...

    Silly but needed ?

    The forums are readable to not only members, but anyone who has an internet connection. I have no qualms about posting in those forums or reading them - I do have a wife, after all. And anyone who shows up saying something like "Hay girls show me your VINTAGE PANTIES" would probably be...

    Yes, but many HR departments skip that process and require the college degree to be on that resume in order to get the interview. Time is money and if, say, 60% of college graduates are qualified vs 40% of high school only, that makes it a lot faster to get to the qualified people. Does it...

    Well it certainly puts them above those who can't. So what is your opinion on why college degrees have been the ticket to better-paying jobs and better job security for the past few decades?

    Look at it this way: You're hiring new workers. You have two applicants fresh out of school. One has a high school diploma the other has a college degree. The one with the diploma may think that college is a waste of money. He may be able to do better in college than the degree guy if he...

    Yes, I did see that date on the chart. However, as unemployment has risen it has continued along those lines. The numbers are higher but relative to each other they haven't changed much. The more education you have, the less likely you are to lose your job and the more money you are likely to...

    It's gonna be worthwhile because In less than 3 years that college degree will have paid for itself. And check those unemployment rates, too.

    Stocking the Home Bar

    The essentials I always have stocked: - 1.75 mixing bourbon (Jim Beam) - 1.75 mixing vodka (usually Stolichnaya) - 1.75 mixing gin (usually Seagrams, Bombay or Beefeater if on sale) - Fifth rum - Sweet vermouth - Dry vermouth - At least one "sipping" liquor (small batch bourbon, single...

    Do you freeze your vodka?

    Hm. I spent time in Russia and I never had vodka chilled much less frozen (except by transport from point of purchase to point of consumption). It's not like you need to kill the taste when $15 in Russia will get you far better vodka than that overpriced French stuff. Also, when it comes to...

    I, for one, could never have predicted that a thread complaining about an entire generation would have provoked strong reaction.

    I can't figure out if this is satire or what.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Trying to look cool by emulating what is "evil" or "dangerous"? Well I never!

    Smoking old cigarettes and other kinds of tobacco products

    I haven't smoked REALLY old tobacco products but given my habits a pack of cigarettes can last me two years. And my pipe tobacco I keep sealed so it doesn't seem to dry out much.

    Sorry. Didn't mean to be that harsh there. And I do often forget that it's not just optimizing a schedule for kids' learning, but also needing to take working parents into account. But I do think that the education professionals should be working on solutions especially if the body of...

    God forbid that modern studies and better understanding of physiology make life better and learning more efficient for subsequent generations. The education system was perfected in 1945 and any changes are nonsense! :rolleyes:

    Why are kids getting up early for a job? Aren't they supposed to be in school? Unless you mean later when they're adults. Which is not relevant to the studies indicating hormonally induced changes during the teenage years that affect sleep patterns in teenagers not adults. Yeah, who needs...
