    While I've done the same thing avoiding "chain" eateries I've found some pretty dismal independents out there too which have poor service, less actual food and dingy atmospheres. One thing chains learned is cleanliness, quick service and a variety of dishes. I'm not talking McDonalds but true...

    Sartorial Objections

    Look dress is all relative to the venue and the date in time. Who puts on the Ritz to go to a crappy Cine-16 with cracker box "theaters" these days? Seeing Phantom at the vintage Pantages Theater in Hollywood brings out people dressed appropriately. Going to the matinee at the Budget-Cinema...

    HELP: Seasons in Southern California

    In So. Cal. the rules are different. The weather can be unseasonable warm relative to the rest of the country at any time and most folks wear what they want. I am involved in the classic car scene and am happy to say that many guys wear Panamas and other straws in the warm summer. They...

    A treasure restored...

    It appears to be all there so restoration will be less troublesome than it would with the need to hunt for pieces. There are lots or original, unmolested cars out there at very reasonable prices to be had. One thing to keep in mind if you contemplate restoring a car is its ultimate value...

    King Kong:reviews

    There's almost nothing that hasn't been done before. We simply see a director or producer's slant on a familiar subject. Sometimes their version is impactful and other times it is weak. As a young fan of the old time horror movies and sci-fi genre The old Dracula and Frankenstein, Day the...

    Conversation: A Lost Art

    I recall Ian Fleming once saying how he would rather mingle and converse with common folks at a pub instead of more upper classers. He mentioned that in England one might need years to break down the veneer of the stodgy, reserved seemingly uninteresting person to find out that they're true...

    Do You Get Easily Obsessed?

    Rosie said it for me. I get interested in a subject or pursuit and think of nothing else for a while but then sort of burn out on it.[huh]

    Things I'm Sick of Hearing at Job Interviews...

    For the majority of people we could sum it up as "work sucks, then you retire and/or die." :(

    Kinda like TVs being put back into furniture along with the associated cost.

    Conversation: A Lost Art

    Seems to me conversing is at some kind of all time high with texting, cells and email in constant use. I never see people sitting together in silence either. They're quacking it up.

    Funeral arrangements

    I am a donor also, forgot to mention. Nice to see how many have thought about that. My step Dad left his body to a university. Took nearly 2 years before they sent Mom the cremated remains. No cost fact there. When it was Mom's time it was $2000 for cremation and mortuary services required...

    Science: The Mystery of Consciousness

    Shows the brain is still a largely unknown, huh? For me its boils down to the fact that an animal knows things but he doesn't know he knows them as humans do.[huh]

    Bindi Irwin

    We don't get that much exposure in the States. There are plenty of other jamokes we see way too frequently however so I understand the sentiment. The Irwins are passionate people about animal conservation. Not a bad thing. It is doubtful that Terri would ever NEED to work again...

    Things I'm Sick of Hearing at Job Interviews...

    On the other side of the desk, much of the problem lies with the interviewer. I once worked for Snelling & Snelling placement services and learned taht beyond the slick resume the interviewer should have proper training in interview technique. With many smaller firms this is lacking and it...

    260 Details - What Are Yours?

    Forget the superfluous stuff. The most interesting folks I've met in life probably didn't have any fashion sense at all but they had PERSONALITIES! This along with good manners and the ability to listen makes the person. I've come across way to many abrasive jerks dressed well who I wouldn't...

    Funeral arrangements

    Ok so what are your wishes when that time comes? Cremation? Standard casket? Neptune Society ashes at sea? Wanna have your ashes kept on the mantle or spread somewhere? I'm opting for cremation and have one of my daughters spread half from atop the Mayan pyramid at Palenque Mexico and the...
