New To Fedora :)
Welcome! I remember my first day here like it was yesterday. I was searching for hat and suit information, and WHAM, this place hit me like a ton of bricks! I hope you have the same wonderful experience, and the same fun, we all have had over these years being at the Lounge. :D- Undertow

Night Owls only
YES! :eusa_clap My feelings exactly! I go mad when someone interupts me in the flow of writing. I had an ex-gf who once likened my reaction to Jack Nicholson's in The Shining. I guess that's one reason we're not still together. :o I am so much more creative at night and I truly miss...- Undertow

Night Owls only
Unfortunately, if left to my own devices, I'm strictly nocturnal. I say unfortunately, because I work a 9-5 which has me scraping myself out of bed each morning and driving to work. Ever since I was a child, probably around the age of 4 or 5, I've been unable to flop down in bed and shut my...- Undertow

Retro-extremists? What are we called?
I think I struggle with this quite a bit because I'm neither vintage, nor modern, or anything specifically other than plain old-fashioned. I'm afraid to speak up because I'm not consciously choosing to LIVE vintage, but I'm such a vintage person, with so many vintage habits, that it's hard to...- Undertow

The Hero of Times Square - "Wore a white fedora"
I wonder what kind of hat that actually is. Is that a cotton, a straw, or felt? If it's felt, is it wool or cotton? [huh] Personally, I think it looks kinda like a straw, but I suppose this time of year in NY, it might be a cotton. Any thoughts? [*edit: I said "anything thoughts?"...- Undertow

Spare a dime for a famous millionaire actor?
Wow, that is really sad and unfortunate. I'm sure it doesn't happen every time, but I hope it isn't something the Charities just budget for. :(- Undertow

Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Different from Wolverine 1000-Mile Boot?
I like the Wolverines a little better as far as style. Unfortunately, the Red Wings don't come in my size (14's) and due to inconsistent sizing, I would have to try ANY pair of boots on - in person - before making a purchase like that. I have a pair of Carolina Loggers that I've been quite...- Undertow

Not quite sure, although I presume it had something to do with "hunting" and "range shooting" being outdoor activities. [huh] I believe that logic should naturally bring the "Show Us Your Vehicles" thread over here as well, but I digress. ;)- Undertow

Spare a dime for a famous millionaire actor?
Oh, I can believe it. People do all sorts of things either out of generosity, or plain ignorance. I've seen it many times. In fact, here in Des Moines, some of our panhandlers are so well kept, you might not know they were homeless. I've been leaned up against a rail reading a newspaper and...- Undertow

Show us your Guns!
Haha, it's funny you mention that because when I finished reloading a bunch of .30-06, I thought, "Huh, I need a trickler," but I haven't gone out to pick one up yet. I've been using the Lee series of equipment, and after some fiddling with powder graphite, I was able to get the powder...- Undertow

What do you do for Living?
Wow, how so many things can change in as little as five years... When this was originally posted, I had not yet joined the Lounge. I was employed as a defacto Assitant Manager at a Wine & Spirits shop locally, with a brief moonlight as a W&S Distributor (for a private company, not the state)...- Undertow

Show us your Guns!
I know we hesitate to discuss laws (as it strays in to politics) but this California thing is new to me. So there is still an assault weapons law in CA that states rifles cannot have pistol grips? Is there anything else like that in other states?- Undertow

Show us your Guns!
Yikes! I didn't think you could build/purchase a rifle over .50 due to "destructive materials" laws. Apparently, I have much to learn here. That sounds like a beast of beasts. Fill me in on any laws I'm missing here. I wonder if this was an attempt to offer the shooter a more...- Undertow

No Mail on Saturdays
I agree here as well. I realize many people sneer and say, "Ah, how often has that really happened?" Let me tell you, I've gotten myself out of a few jams because I had paper receipts and postal confirmations backing me up. I've also had an incident where my bank forgot to enter a deposit I'd...- Undertow

"Oldies" radio stations
So I was eating at a local family restaurant a couple weeks ago (when the weather first got nice here in Des Moines) and I decided to sit in the patio section. After dinner, I commented to my waitress, "I noticed you're playing all oldies tonight; I've really missed them since [my local oldies...- Undertow

Guns and shooting advice?
Too true! I'm so fortunate I happened to pick up target shooting with a .22LR before trying my .30-06. I would have been pretty sore and possibly lost interest had I not first understood the mechanics of aiming on an easier gun. Speaking of which, I just sighted in my Burris scope on my...- Undertow

I don't believe owning a computer should be required in order to maintain a functional life in society. In fact, I believe that sort of talk is a little near sighted. Consider how many elderly, impoverished, disabled and unlucky people there are in society who either don't have access to this...- Undertow
