    The 80s, myth and reality?

    I'm impressed by so many things right now. Thank you Edward. [thumbs up icon]

    Yeah I can hear it in your posts. You sound like a badass. :p

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    There it is. The top of my "yet it really ticks you off" list. NONSENSE. Closely followed by ignorance.

    Ah!

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Exactly. They sell us "convenience," but it's not really about convenience. There are ulterior motives. NY Transit has been pushing everyone for a while to swipe their way into the system with their phone or watch instead of the plastic subway pass. They've been advertising the hell out of this...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks Sunset. I have two different colors of a pretty nice Merino scarf, not real thick or anything. That ought to solve any winter wind issues right there. [We should have access to a "thumbs up" emoji option.]

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hey thanks for the feedback on that bi-swing back. I'm glad it's not just me... uh, I guess (?) This sold as a chest size, not S/M/L. I bought it to be sure I could squeeze a hoodie under there, but it would need to be pretty darn cold to layer that much! Trying to figure out how I'll wear a...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Wow, I can only talk late 70s early 80s myself. I don't even recognize these gurls, but the interwebs tell me this is from 2023. Will have to listen after work. Thanks for the lead.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Brown Schott 141 with my new harness boots. This is the jacket with the zip-out lining. My dad used to tell me if you wear a jacket like that without the lining it'll fit too loose on you. I've worn it without the lining once, but this is heavy stiff leather, bulletproof. I still think I need...

    You look like a model in that vest shot. You look like the professor/hero in a movie.

    Just another excuse to take a 15 minute walk in your favorite jacket. :D

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I'm still trying to figure this out. It used to be - "Hey, not enough cash on hand? Use this plastic! It's more convenient and you can borrow what you need, short term." And loads of people floated a balance for a bit and paid outrageous interest, and that's the obvious use for the credit card -...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    I never would have imagined I would find so many Adam Ant fans in one place. Each one a bigger fan than I've ever met before. Not to sound dramatic, but this to me is like Twilight Zone material.
