    Tragic dimensions to what we do?

    I agree with this, I just think there is not an easy word for this concept, and people like easy words and so misuse 'acceptance' a lot. Granted, not everyone who says 'acceptance' means the 'respect for differences' side of it.....but I know at least some do.

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    as a vague comparison... I am at -4.0 and I have 20/400 vision....and in the US....if that level cannot be corrected (obviously mine can), it is legally blind.

    Decline in hat sales

    You all enjoy and value hats.....someone else enjoys and values designer clothes... I somehow -doubt- there is a group of designer clothes lovers out there on a message board knocking hat wearers who spend too much on hats. So why waste your time worrying and complaining about what...

    Monograms

    Traditionally.... A traditional 3-letter monogram has the initial of the individual's last name (surname) set larger, or with some special treatment in the center, while the first name initial appears to the left of it and the middle name initial appears to the right of it. For example, if...

    Fountain pens - ostentatious?

    I use a fountain pen daily as well. And I know there is at least one other person in the office who does. That said....there are ostentatious and pretentious pens...and then there are pens that really don't draw much attention unless the user makes a giant rigamarole out of the whole...

    How was music "mixed" back then?

    I recorded several times in studios with concert and jazz bands as late as 1988 or so and we did multiple takes til we got it right, etc. Obviously electrical so they could shift the balance etc....but the music all still had to be there at the same time...

    This generation of kids...

    Heh.. :offtopic: I went to a state school that decided to invest its sports funding where it would be the most use. Rather then continue to fund a mediocre football squad, they discontinued it in 1992 and invested in other sports that more of the very beach oriented students would excel at...

    CUPCAKES!!

    and those of us with no willpower and no desire to bake, might sort of like being able to go get -one- treat and not have a dozen or so in the house expanding our waistlines... Yet have them be adult cake type flavours. lol

    Spelling

    Ah....but that is an entirely different matter. The Dialect of American English happens to spell those words that way. British English does not. Neither is incorrect for their dialect. Trying to imply one dialect cannot change vs another is rather pointless. If it was a valid...

    dear new neighbor

    I would also discuss with your landlord, some method of temporary fencing... Your landlord should want to protect their investment in their yard, and if you pose it to them that way, rather then your personal annoyance, they may at least put up something across most of the gap that would help...
