    dear new neighbor

    Oh yes, you do. Never second guess yourself. You may as well leave the sign posted until these yahoos move. Along with other signs like, "Owner of this house is insured by Smith&Wesson, carries under $10 in cash, and has a stockpile of ammunition - locked and loaded." My permit-to-carry...

    dear new neighbor

    Which reminds me of a scene in Layer Cake when Colm Meaney tells Daniel Craig, "Listen, if you have to kill someone, never ever tell a living soul." I'm on board with you Diamondback; had I ever gone outside of hypothetical debate and exacted the necessary revenge on someone most deserving, I...

    Question: Tipping in Restaurants, for Services, ??

    Not to pick at a scab or anything, but... "The appropriate tip is 20%...That’s what chefs leave when they eat out, and it’s the amount they think is fair" "An astounding 90% of chefs said it’s fair to penalize bad waiters with a smaller tip."...

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    lol :eusa_clap Well, I'm an abysmal map reader and I have no sense of direction whatsoever; I rely on landmarks and occassionally the sun set (I'm an excellent driver, however, and you can thank years of video games for the hand-eye coordination I've developed). I'm also very emotional...

    Any writers?

    Hey, that sounds like a cool book! Thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed Zen In the Art of Writing. That book really inspired me.

    Vintage Stetson, made in Finland

    I don't know if cowboy hats are very popular in Finland, but you could try a shop that sells those - they typically have a block and steaming area, and shouldn't have much trouble servicing a liner and ribbon. Otherwise, you could always mail away for it. But of course, as you've...

    E-Telegram Service

    This looks kinda cool, but it's too bad it costs so much. You would be nearly as well served with a postcard, should you want to use this service regularly. Still pretty cool, though.

    Silly but needed ?

    Yeah, all the secret handshakes in the world won't hide our shame! lol shhhhhhhh That's it; Feraud, go ahead and let MK know we've established the Official He-Man-Woman-Haters-Club Forum. Ladies, you'll need to avert your eyes. First topic of discussion: the fine art of picking one's nose...

    Sure, some people go to college strictly for an education; that certainly is a path one might take. You can also attend your local library for an education, attend state college lectures without enrolling, do your own interviewing and research, compile your findings into a paper and solicit...

    I believe this statement generally sums up the whole point Lizzie and others (and my own personal opinion) of higher education vs. none. If someone intends to obtain a degree, they should do so in a field that actually requires said knowledge and then they should actively persue a career in...

    Silly but needed ?

    Splendid idea. We'll have a handshake, and a treasure map, and special hats, and an entire day of the week to ourselves where we do unhealthy things including smoking and drinking, and probably gambling... ...and a couch-cushion fort...

    Vintage Stetson, made in Finland

    Regarding care for this hat: Once you've determined the hat's age, you should then determine if you'd like to keep this, or sell it. If you're keeping it, and you don't mind a little investment, you'll need the hat professionally blocked and cleaned. Meanwhile, they will want to replace...

    My first fedora. Some advice and support needed.

    First, welcome to the Lounge! It's great to have you! :eusa_clap If you haven't already had a chance, you should MOST DEFINITELY research this thread: Felt hat basics as well as: Start Here: Links to Important Hat Forum Threads In fact, I would look over all of those threads before...

    Any writers?

    Well, I got the second part done! Unfortunately, I didn't query a single agent. I don't want to say I've already given up, but many of my first choices are shot now. I have a few remaining, but at this point, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be best to wait. Wait for what? I don't know. On the...

    Pin up clothing

    You're allowed in there, but posting is restricted in some cases (check the FAQ). In any case, it's just as well that guys aren't crawling around through those posts. I think it's nice that the ladies have their own place. Look at the HATS forum; sure, ladies can post in there, but how often do...

    I agree, Miss Neecerie; I believe far too much weight is given to college education. College education isn't for everyone, just as construction work isn't for everyone. I also agree that a more positive emphasis should be placed on blue collar workers. But see, this line of discusson is a...

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    I've been on the fence with this issue. In my eyes, where there's money, there's greed. Where there's greed, there are lies. And when people are lying to one another over money, you may as well fill out your own funeral arrangements ahead of time because you'll inevitably be a number on a...
