    I'm going clothes shopping, what do you suggest?

    Thanks, but that's The Powder Room for women. As a guy I'm not concerned about blouses, evening gowns and such. I'm not necessarily looking for a specific era look, just something more stylish than blue jeans and sweatshirts.

    I'm going clothes shopping, what do you suggest?

    Until I found this forum I never gave a thought to style, I went for practical, which meant a couple pairs of jeans and some golf and sweatshirts. I still need to be practical, but I would like to get into something a little more stylish. It also needs to be stuff I can get locally at...

    Were you a sharp-dressed kid?

    No suit or hat, just an overcoat, and only because Mom dressed me (I'm on the left in front). More interesting is Grandpa's hat, looks like a bowler.

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    I've always wondered about the apostrophe too, so I looked it up. Here's the explanation per Wikipedia. Not surprisingly, it's because of legal technicalities: The chain was founded by the late Ruth Fertel, a single mother of two, in 1965, after she bought the existing Chris Steak House...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Found this at a "barn sale" about a month ago. Before and after pics. "Citrate of Magnesia" is/was a laxative. I carefully opened it after I bought it with a pair of pliers I had in my car and emptied out the contents. It cleaned up very well by hand with just regular dish soap. It has a...

    Matching your partner?

    I don't have a lady friend at the moment, so I don't worry about if I "match", except that I'll make some effort to look neat and groomed if going out as a group with friends, e.g. shoes polished, hair neet, shaved, showered, collared shirt (tucked, no t's or sweatshirts) and at least a clean...

    What are you listening to?

    I should be in bed but I had to listen to one of my favorite tunes while surfing: Duke Ellington - Rent Party Blues

    old time radio online

    I thought I posted this, maybe I posted in a similar thread somewhere, but I don't see it here. I listen to 1920s Radio Network. I use iRadio 1.5 to download the music. iRadio is free, easy to use, but has a couple bugs. I've learned to work around them. There is no support for it because...

    Antisocial.....is this normal?

    ???? I don't get it. If all they do is gossip and bad mouth your BF in front of you (incredibly rude, ill-mannered, and disrespectful!), why would you want to submit yourself to that? First off, you're normal. I'm old enough to remember complaints from folks of the "greatest generation"...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Can you give some specific examples of who is doing what wrong for the edification of us newbies? All the hats in the above pics look fine to me, but what do I know? I only just bought my first hat a week or so ago.

    How about a hat cartoon? Bugs and Thugs

    Things you'd find in a cellar in 1940 for $500, Alex.

    Family skeletons? Crazy Uncle?

    movie hats that inspired you...

    Awesome! Thanks for the movie references, I love gangster movies. I've seen Miller's Crossing, a great movie that got little notice for some reason, but I haven't seen the others. I added them to my que at Blockbuster By Mail.

    Nobody Can Insult Someone Like....

    A quick check of the Quotations website suggests you're right, I can't find it. I'll have to come up with something else.

    What do you look like?

    That's actually a very nice shot for a webcam.

    I Was Howling By The End Of This....

    Yes, you did, thank you. Now, if I were president, and you were my advisor, would you be able to instruct me on what the definition of is, is?

    I tried on a few hats.

    Glad y'all like it. Now I can get rid of those awful other pics, particularly the stingy brim shots (with apologies to all those who like stingy brims). I guess now I need to find a hat rack. I was used to just throwing my BB cap on the shelf in the hall closet. It occurred to me that...
