    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    also worthy of note, that in the 40s women held MEN's jobs, even the dangerous ones. like the WASP pilots, they taught, they tested planes after repair, they pulled "trailers" so that the troops could have target practice... never mind the ground-based factory workers, welders, etc so no...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    well certainly don't take her for granted. but if you have such high standards for her, why don't you live up to them yourself? not taking care of oneself is a big turn-off, and thinking that one doesn't have to try as hard as the other does is deplorable. are you really saying that it's a...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    if she can look good for you, then you need to look good for her. if you have such high expectations of a woman, I do hope that you hold yourself to those same high expectations. really, if she is willing to put forth that much effort, why should she not get the same in return from you? just...

    Trader Joe's anything is the bomb, I love that place. good, really good stuff for cheap! I am so unfortunate as to live nowhere near one, so I have my friend in Seattle send me vanilla and vitamins. I may have to have her send some of their sunblock to see if it will work for me

    So, do you wear Sunscreen?

    I can't use a lot of sunscreens because they make the acne worse but I recently found this one, which doesn't break me out, thankfully http://www.aveeno.com/suncare/cp/lotion/spf70

    Pomade in men's hair, ladies?

    if it's well done it does look nice but I wouldn't want to get anywhere near it. really though whatever looks best on the guy, long, short, military buzz, it's fine with me. but if there's hair, I do prefer clean. I don't gunk up my own very often either, so when I had the victory rolls done...

    The only real Diner in Denmark

    KBH is one of my favorite cities... and yes the Danes are wonderful w/o being nauseatingly phony-nice. my friend Charlotte's mother made me a nice birthday cake w/ Danish flags, they owned (maybe still own?) a nice store in Stroeget called 12eren... *sniff* I miss Denmark!

    Wojtek the Soldier Bear

    I'm not exactly an expert on these sorts of things but I think it's more impressive to get a WILD animal to do tricks if you will than a very trainable domesticated animal... poor Wojtek!
