Any writers?
Ugh, big slow down. I've been really busy the last three weeks. I wrote that Textile Compendium for the Lounge two weeks ago. I started on tearing apart, cleaning and sewing back together some hats last week. And I'm trying to slog my way through some ammo reloading this weeks (with 3 different...- Undertow

Very Very Short Stories
The Stain With hesitation and deliberate care, Lola had sewn the pattern for her red and white polka dot dress just days before. So much pride, so much toil, lost. The stain seeped through the fabric like slow moving thunder heads of a darkening summer day. Her skin grew pale, her eyes glazed...- Undertow

Tragic dimensions to what we do?
I think it depends on the town, the folks that have been there all their lives, the region, etc. There are some small towns in Iowa so backwards, it hurts to bend over because they're so far twisted around. On the other hand, there are some small towns that are as accepting and open as any...- Undertow

Would you, if you could?
Call centers ARE very much the modern day factory. You're underpaid as a rule with a small range of imporvement. You have a convulted hierarchy of supervisors, team leads, group leads, etc. set in place to act as a deterrent (in more ways than one). You're chances of receiving a raise are...- Undertow

To Enjoy Champagne, Treat It Like Beer
Do the French not pour down the side of the glass? And what training would waiters need? I'm not trying to call you out, I'm just interested in this statement. First, I agree with Yeps in that red wine can be poured straight down and into a nice big glass (big = broad). Helps mellow the...- Undertow

Unpopular movie opinions...
I will give you that. The first was the better of the three, although there were still spots that grated against my nerves terribly. The Nazgul and the Balrog were well portrayed, regardless of CGI, and there was a theme that was much more palpable than the other two movies. Liv Tyler...- Undertow

Mystery Shirts
I'll hazard some educated guesses on the second shirt. If that is corduroy (as it appears to be), and it's used in shirting, it's either going to be silk, cotton, wool or a blend. I doubt very much that it's silk - silk corduroy would not be an economical or practical material for shirting. I...- Undertow

do you have many friends?
I have to agree. I've never joined Facebook, nor will I. I despise it. I am on Myspace, but when I joined, no one I knew was on it. I originally intended it to be a "Author Profile" of sorts that was free until I realized it was more of a social networking site. I think I joined myspace in 2004...- Undertow

Unpopular movie opinions...
Argh! I failed to mention one of my ultimate hatreds! :mad: Pick a Lord of the Rings movie, any one... Now promptly flush it down the toilet. They were worse than garbage. I don't care how popular they were, or how many people were turned on to Tolkien, or how cool the crap effects...- Undertow

STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
First, we need to determine from which fabrics the various pieces are made. Let's assume you're hat is a modern (1980's-current) model. 1. Chances are the Ribbon is either cotton, or as others have mentioned, cotton/rayon. Tonyb has provided a helpful solution, which I have also tested and... -

No, no, I'm sorry. After rereading my response, I think the medium skewed the tone I had in my head. :eusa_doh: I equated your reaction to Eddie Izzard (whom I enjoy thoroughly) and I think it's funny when the English and Americans go back and forth with our differences. Sorry about that...- Undertow

The Proper Way to Wear Cufflinks?
I have to agree on this, although I understand if this situation presents a strange look. Convertible cuffs are an odd little invention that I'm not particularly fond of, but I think they have their utility. You should wear the cuffs as they would normally be worn in each case (button vs. link)...- Undertow
