    My Search for a Mate is Confined to my Sock Drawer

    I've been involved with three heartbreakers and now I find myself jaded and bitter about the entire mess. I certainly don't plan to enter another relationship for some time. I was talking to a friend recently about my inability to maintain a steady relationship. She told me I'm too nice. I...

    Hand gun ownership in the U.S.

    :eusa_clap Agreed in full. It used to be taught in schools during gym class. Kids need to have an understanding of one of the more prolific tools known to humankind, even if they will never come into contact with a firearm. I know how to drive a manual, but I don't own one nor does anyone I...

    What good is a hat?

    Wasps (among other creatures) are also atrracted to white clothing, or light clothing. That is one thing that may have saved the rest of your body! And it is also something I used to my advantage when, after having been stung over 30 times by yellow jacket wasps last year while mowing, I...

    I do agree with this. Good distinction!

    The Vintage Suitor

    I have a certain problem with spending way too much money on my girlfriends. They know I'm a pretty frugal guy with everything else BUT them. I take them out to great restaurants, unique entertainment opportunities, nice gifts, etc. But if it's just a date, especially a first date, I go dutch...

    Hand gun ownership in the U.S.

    Fortunately, Fletch, the majority of those points did not apply to me save number 2. I believe Carebear's refutation suffices for my opinion so I won't repeat anything in that regard. Fletch, I will assume you're creating discussion, and even if not, you're at least not without an opinion...

    make your own cuff links

    Thank you very much for those links! The first one is especially helpful and I imagine I may try my hand at making some cufflinks. I don't know that we have any jewelry outlets in my town but we do have flea markets. I could probably pick up quite a few sets of earrings which might look nice...

    The Vintage Suitor

    The following may seem "mean" or a little too "up front" but I certainly have learned the hard way and this is the advice given from other women. These are here to add to the list: 1. Take a compliment well with a smile and a "Thank You". If you chose to remark on her compliment (i.e...

    Stock Market Roller Coaster

    Gazprom would be a great example of a company to have invested in recently. They still may be a good idea. I would also consider investing in a Brazilian bio-fuel company as well. How does one invest in foreign businesses?

    Hand gun ownership in the U.S.

    I agree. Given a Taurus, a Ruger and a Smith, I would pick Smith overall. Every single Smith I've fired has been relatively well balanced, seamless and accurate. I like the way they look and feel much more than others. And I agree about all the points you listed. I've never been able to get...

    Hand gun ownership in the U.S.

    Personally...buying a Taurus is like buying a wool felt hat. They're just fine and do the job like they're supposed to. However, like a wool felt, you and anyone else that knows guns will see that it's not a good choice in the long run. Taurus is cheap, sometimes a bit shoddy. I've fired a...

    What a deal

    Darnit, I wish I could have picked one of these up before I purchased a few others. Thanks for the link though! What do you suppose the weave counts are on these $25 dollar hats? 130? More?

    Wait, so let me get this straight, you spot cleaned with mild dish soap AND immersed the tie overnight?

    suit button question

    Wow, how weird, I was just going to post a thread about buttons. I guess I'll ask the question here instead. I recently purchased a black worsted wool suit on the bay. It's not the greatest quality but I'm more interested in owning a black suit for funerals (as some of you may recall, the...

    What Started It All

    I've always owned and worn a ton of hats, varying from huge Russian rabbit-fur hats down to the old fez. However, a love for the 30's and 40's brought me to try fedoras and everything ballooned from there. What particular event or image brought me up to speed? I regularly attend performances...

    n00b breaking into hats - any advice?

    Try vintage first because quality counts in the long run. Scout around some of your local thrift stores, antique shops, eBay, etc. You'd probably be amazed at the great quality you'll run into for pennies. Anyway, vintage hats are far better than newer ones. Some vintage to look for (as...
