Is there a line and, if so, how/where do you draw it?
It depends on what's driving it. Possession acquisition/purchases and substance abuse can both be maladaptive behaviors if done in excess. There are many others, but what they all fail to do is deal with the root cause of the problem. Many profoundly unhappy people, rather than put in the...- skydog757

Terms Which Have Disappeared
My older (70+) relatives use "loud" quite often. They have a lot of ways to refer to something that they don't like.- skydog757

I read, but never hear, the term "sporting" anymore. As in "He was sporting a particularly loud tie" or "sporting a fresh black eye".- skydog757

Movies that had Great Initial Success and, then, Chirp, Chirp, Chirp
I knew even before I posted that that would most likely be your response, Ms. Maine. That's why I tried to qualify my statement as much as I could. I, as always, respect your opinion greatly but Moon really was one of the first films that I remember being over-hyped. The whole real-life...- skydog757

Movies that had Great Initial Success and, then, Chirp, Chirp, Chirp
Anyone watched Paper Moon lately? I would watch Madeline Kahn in anything, and I enjoyed her in Moon, but I thought that there was entirely too much fuss about about the film at the time. That would include Tatum O'Neil winning an Oscar. A nice period piece; that was about it for me. A good...- skydog757

Remember watching the Colorado Rockies play during a snowstorm? And Joe Madden wearing a Rays ball cap with earflaps? And all of the players who wear balaclava hoods when the temps drop to . . .; well, I was going to say unseasonable lows but they are pretty much what you would expect for...- skydog757

Terms Which Have Disappeared
I know some older sports fans that insist that basketball games are divided into "periods", not "quarters". I think both are acceptable these days, but I do remember when it was always a period in basketball and a quarter in football. I'm not talking about men's college basketball which is...- skydog757

It was also sometimes preceded by "ya lousy . ." Funny that "gumshoe" is usually associated with a private investigator; probably because stealth is key in that line of work.- skydog757

Brown Bomber Jacket/Patches/Men's XL
It looks there are varying shades of brown that complement each other by design (the back panel, waist trim, cuffs and pocket flaps). Is that the case or just a trick of the light?- skydog757

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Hate it when the gas station lets the fluid in the windshield washer container/bucket run dry (especially all of them at once). Also when the squeegee's sponge is completely gone and all you have is the nylon netting, which makes it pretty much useless. Some stations never seem to replace...- skydog757

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
I've grown used to seeing political campaigns sling mud and fan the flames of fear, but I've never seen it devolve to the pits of this cycle. Can you imagine Lincoln and Douglas debating on the size of the other's "hands"? I wouldn't vote for any major party candidate for my local school...- skydog757
