    Favorite Movies

    I am a hopeless romantic, so I'm a little surprised that no "romantic" movies came to mind when I read the OP. I think my two favorite movies right now are: Safety Not Guaranteed and The Breakfast Club.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Well, I ended up getting the BlackHawk tactical handbag. Yes, it is a man-purse. However, I like it that it isn't too tactical. I think that if it was too tactical, I would probably get too much attention. I'm going for the whole Gray-Man thing. I know, dressing the way I do makes me stand...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Good point Stearman, I figure if it's under ten pounds, it isn't a dog, it's a rat.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    How about if you call it a haversack? I hate to admit it, but I'm looking for an every day carry bag that isn't too big. The bigger it is, like a messenger bag, the more stuff I'll put into it. I really can't afford anything "nice" right now, and I don't want anything that looks...

    Lounge member help requested

    Hi All, I have a request, but it doesn't really fall into the Golden Era. My Great-Great-Grandfather (actually both) fought in the American "War Between the States" or the American "War of Northern Aggression" or the "American Civil War" or by what ever name you want to call it. I have...

    Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

    I too was raised in the South. I had ancestors on my mother's side who lived and fought in an Alabama unit. On my father's side, I have two relatives, one fought for the 5th Tx Calvary, and another who was with Gen. Hood. They were brothers, and their sister married a man by the family name...

    A commercial that promotes the worst of today

    Well, that was depressing. All I can say is that I hope no real bathrooms were hurt during the filming of that commercial. :-(

    Deodorant Question

    I heard it was the aluminum in the anti-perspirat, not the deodorant that makes the yellow. I use Speed Stick regular deodorant.

    The Choice of the Orthodox

    Hi Dopey, We could use "Frum" too; also colloquial and imprecise yet most people in the tribe will know what you are talking about if you use the term.

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    I'm not sure what the best grind would be. It seems like when drip coffee makers just came out, they had coffee that was ground specifically for them. But, when I look at the regular coffee in places like Target, there are no specifics as to what type of coffee maker they are to be used in...

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    HERITAGE grade Akubra Campdraft in Silver Belly Campaign

    Well, I got mine in about a week ago, and only began to shape it last night (long story). Anyway, it is more "tan" than what I would consider silverbelly. But it does look more silverbelly outside and from a distance. I can't say that I would call it silverbelly though. However, I really do...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    That Sir, is a might fine hat. You look like a true southern gentleman with that. I grew up in Houston, but I moved away probably about the time you were born.

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    I remember my mom sewing patches on my jeans in the 1970's, when I was in primary/elementary school. I also remember some fabric glue she had and, when she had little time (she was a single mom), she would try to glue them on. My wife knows how to sew, and has offered to sew stuff up for me (a...

    Interesting Old Photos

    Hi All, I was just looking up some of my old ancestors and doin some genealogy tonight. Anyway, I think my GG-grandfather may have died near a place called Buena Vista, AL, around 1906. So I looked it up. Well, it isn't really a town. So I started to surf some websites of near by towns. Then...
