    Hand gun ownership in the U.S.

    Hey HoosierDaddy your stories are on target, as it were. 1st I wonder why people going out in the sticks don't take their firearms. Do they not realize they are farther from law enforcement assistance than when they are home? In fact there is probably no way to contact law enforcement in many...

    Old smells, that immeditately transport you back in time?

    There exists an "old car" smell that is present in original vehicles up to the early 1950s. I have no idea what ingredients of the interior materials combine to make it but my 1950 Packard has it and people at car shows actually stick their heads in the open window in order to inhale the...

    Mythology: Greek & Others

    I would like to add that many myths and folktales have ultimately been found to stem from actual happenings. Ancient writings that were written as narratives at the time when they occurred are often dismissed by modern scientificos as fairytales because they don't fit into the pre-conceived...

    Weird Food Combinations

    Relating to . . . Nothing in Particular.

    There are devotees of both the Isetta and the Amphicar. Good examples of each go for about $10,000.

    Buying a Lemon

    Well Lincsong thank California and its uber-strict consumer laws for the fact that it is diclosed. Think of how many cars were pulled out of the water in the Katrina aftermath that will be re-titled in different states and sold as nice used cars.:o

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    I think the "classy restaurant" topic has a direct parallel with a thread about "loss of occassion" discussing how people no longer dress appropriately for a wedding, funeral, graduation etc. Seems the same goes for eating out. The grand occassion of eating out is less of a big deal these...

    Do You Still Play 78 rpm Records?

    Is this for real?

    Auctions, whether Ebay, Barrett-Jackson or Christie's have the same ingredients- an item and people who desire that item. As I've seen with many non-hat items people simple want a certain "thing" and are willing to pay whatever it takes to get it. They will bid up something far beyond its...

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    Napthali actually hit the target best back on page 1. It's not so much all the repetitive plotlines but the quality of the writing.

    Hand gun ownership in the U.S.

    Happily I fall into the more than 11 category. Actually I never purposely count exactly how many I own. It's not important really. I own less long guns anymore.

    Photographing your hat - How to do it well?

    Yep it seems all the pics I've seen of appearance vs. stated color have been done in by the flash. I'd agree that the flash is the main cause of color changes. The illustrations of the variance of a black hat still make it look black in any format. I mean I'd say it was black in any picture...

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    As a writer of mostly all non-fiction historical subject matter I have seen storylines repeated or basically plagurized since I was a kid watching TV. There are fewer and fewer programs that I can't figure out who did what because so many are parallels of older TV plots! There are so may...

    The final Episode: Sopranos -Spoilers Everywhere!

    There were far to many events, characters and relationships that unfolded over several years for any resolution to be had in one script. The way the camera shot certain people in the restaurant that Tony was alegedly looking at was done many times before in other episodes as well as other...

    Hey Senator Jack the real estate loan establishments will not finance a property for more than its value after appraisal.[huh]
