Show us your photography
Some very nice photographs here! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap My home computer is down at the moment, so I don't have access to most of my digital or digitized photographs. Here is one I took recently that I'm fairly pleased with. Our granddaughter, Bella, was watching the birds at the bird feeders...- Tango Yankee

When Is Your Birthday?
Yeps, you may add my wife to the list of those who share your birthday. My birthday (along with my sister-in-law, a doctor I see, and many others I've met) is Veteran's Day. This year it's on 11-11-11. :-) A while back I started musing about how many people I've met with birthdays around mine...- Tango Yankee

The general decline in standards today
The writer's strike a few years ago didn't help, either. The writers had a good reason and a good cause, but the unintended consequence was the expansion of "reality TV" and other "unscripted" shows. Once the TV people figured out that those cost a lot less to do and they didn't need those pesky...- Tango Yankee

What? You're not going to change the feedback after she said "Sorry" and even "Please"? What a heartless cad you must be! lol But now I am curious... what did she say when you first received it and reported the problem to her?- Tango Yankee

My Hat Helped "Sell" My New Glasses
:arated: I recently got tired of the cheap sunglass route and went back to Ray Ban, buying a pair of NOS Clubmasters on eBay. (Yes, I know they're available new as well.) I bought the tortoiseshell model. I have to agree, I think they go great with hats (I've worn mine with fedoras, a homburg...- Tango Yankee

Ralph Lauren's idiotic PRE-DISTRESSED fedora
I thought it was, only they were once called "used". Lately the term is "Pre-owned." ;) Cheers, Tom- Tango Yankee

why I like fedoras now
Then you've never been on the receiving end of a TI or DI's hat! ;) They do use the hat to intimidate, and do so very effectively most of the time. It was another tool in their kit to use. I did see one exception when it backfired, though. A TI from another flight was screaming at our flight...- Tango Yankee

Adjusting to small town life.
Welcome to the Lounge, SR! I see from your location that you are in Long Beach. I lived there in the late '70s through mid-1980, down on Sixth Street between Alomitos Ave and Cerritos Ave. The last time I was out there I went by the old place; across the street from where I lived is now a...- Tango Yankee

Adjusting to small town life.
As I've said elsewhere in the Lounge, I grew up in a small town of about (at the time) 52,000 people. The town is South Gate, a suburb of Los Angeles. Of course, I didn't have anything to compare it to but it seemed like it was pretty small town in a lot of ways. The first street we lived on we...- Tango Yankee

The Good News Thread
Twelve days and no additions to this thread? We've gotta keep it at the top of the Observation Bar list. A couple of weeks ago I was picking up our granddaughter (the one we have custody of, six years old) from daycare. I stepped out onto the porch after signing her out, to be faced with a...- Tango Yankee

Sweet catch, Kkaderly! I know of at least two others... I kinda overcompensated after losing that one! :D Unfortunately, they're not in as good a condition as that one was before DHL got their hands on it. :mad:- Tango Yankee

I kinda did. DHL's customer service got an earful. Might be why DHL didn't last long in the stateside home delivery business. The box it arrived in didn't have my address on it; just the delivery label DHL had created and stuck on it. The seller described the box she used, and it wasn't even...- Tango Yankee

Dang, Randooch, that just gave me flashbacks! A few years ago I won this: And received this: It wasn't the seller's fault. The box it arrived in wasn't damaged. Turned out that DHL had destroyed the box it was in along with the contents, so they'd grabbed a Frito-Lay box out of the...- Tango Yankee

The Button Tucked Tie
Widebrim, I can't speak to the Golden Era, but I can say that in the USAF the long-sleeve shirt with tie and without the uniform jacket was an approved uniform combo in 1980 when I joined. You could not/cannot wear the long-sleeve shirt without a tie, in fact. At my first duty station (HQ SAC)...- Tango Yankee

What color ink do I need?
I've never heard that term before; had to look it up since I often write with different shades of green (and a variety of other colors, as well). Well, since I hardly ever write threatening or abusive letters to anyone, let alone those in the public eye, I don't fit the full criteria. I do find...- Tango Yankee
