    Born in a suit?

    Exactly! And that's why I'm wondering what direction JW would like to take this. Take some pitiful bum off the street who's shopped at Wal-Mart his whole life and thinks slacks are like-minded coworkers, dressed in sweat pants, crocs and mustard stained A-shirt.... Give him a sharp...

    still wearing fur felt in late June

    Yeah, my nicest straw lasted ONE summer - and shrank from a 7 1/2 down to a 7 1/4. Now my dad wears it. :eusa_doh: I have another straw but it's shrank one size and never looked good enough to bother stretching.

    Show us your Guns!

    I couldn't find anything (because I'm probably blind), but does anyone have experience with the S&W Model 19 .357? Pictures would be nice, but I need first-hand experiences! Any help is much appreciated.

    Do You Feel Old, CNN Article

    I've always believed our current society (US, UK, Western) walks the edge of a razor. If this is our future, how terrible it would be for technology to come crashing down! :eek:

    Born in a suit?

    Not trying to be smart here (god knows that), but I think BK basically summed it up in the very first response on this thread. [huh] I don't think it's quite fair to deride someone for appearing as if they weren't "born in a suit" on one particular day, or during one particular week. Sure...

    Vintage Ventilation

    Wasn't there a thread that detailed how to do your own ventilation? Perhaps with grommets?

    still wearing fur felt in late June

    I often wear my mid-weight felt out in the sauna-hot Iowa summer weather. I used to have some Panamas, but they've shrunk and I've grown. And I'll be damned if I leave the house without a hat...[bad]

    men who write in or keep journals

    Unfortunately, this has changed. "Daily life" has been lost/destroyed. I continue to detail "Great Thoughts" in my other, leatherbound journal.

    Bread, the staff of life...

    I make my own bread on occasion. About a year ago, I was making two 2lb loaves a week. I've slowed down to one every 4 months. I plan to ramp it up again soon. I love the stuff!

    Any writers?

    Thanks! The "impersonator's" name is Rod "The Rocket" Williams, a bloated, surly shadow of his previous self. He can't sing like he used to, and no one - not even his ex-wife who was suing him - believes it's actually him. Instead of chapters, I'm writing each chapter in "episodes", as if his...

    Born in a suit?

    :eusa_doh: I was afraid of that. When I was visiting Chicago for a week about 4 years ago, I wanted to stop into a Younkers, Sears or Macy's. Oh, we went shopping, but the gal I had with me would not step foot into a store we already had in IA. Although I appreciated her perspective, I sorely...

    Shaving brush

    They must mean because badger is softer, it's necessarily more pliable and less like a toothbrush against your skin. [huh] I prefer badger over boar, and I do own both. Badger is softer, and if you're doing it right, the stiffness shouldn't necessarily be an issue so much as water retention...

    Any writers?

    Haha, I have to follow suit. I'm a scatterbrained writer. I have three irons in the fire at all times, and when I'm in a certain mood I'll go back to whichever feels right. (BTW - no one steal the following ideas! lol :rolleyes: ) Currently, I am nearly 1/2 through a novel set in a small...

    How to inccrease the pinch on a fedora

    Wow, good catch!! :eek: Definitely call the hat maker up and chew the fat for a while. He/she may even be able to do it for free? [huh]

    Any writers?

    Wow, thanks alot Amateis; that's a good read! I especially liked #3: "Myth: Publishing your writing is a good way to make money. Truth: You can make more money doing almost anything else" lol :eusa_clap

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Exactly. In fact, Jack's first post was quite descriptive of this. I don't know how everyone else does it, but I typically read the first three pages just to get caught up on what's going on before I post. [huh]

    Do You Feel Old, CNN Article

    lol :eusa_clap I had a really good laugh at this. I'm most definitely in the same boat.

    Born in a suit?

    I've been wondering about this situation for some time. The only local shop I can find decent, well-made clothing is a place called Von Maur (they're regional only, I believe). On the other hand, places like Sears, Younkers and JC are pitiful and bland. In fact, all of my local Sears stores...
