    You Know you have been on Fedora Lounge too long when:

    I thought I would leave off the radio back and keep it away from the wall, near a cool air source... you're right though, they don't call 'em "MacToasters" for nothin'! ;)

    Long house dress/dressing gown

    I saw a Chinese button-up (with the frog closings as Jitterbugdoll describes) lounging robe/gown in a Chinatown store once that was patterned silk on the outside, lined with flannel inside, for winter wear... maybe something like that?

    Backpack wearing eejits

    I think one of the Pub. Trans. systems actually had ads showing some poor fellow getting shoved in the face with another's ungainly backpack, urging people to remove them on crowded buses...but that worked about as well as the equally fruitless suggestions to make Mom-zillas fold up their...

    What type of knot do you tie?

    http://www.tie-a-tie.net/ has diagrams/pictures and videos too, I think, for all tie types. Even I can tie one thanks to them. (I do have some short vintage wool ties that I wear once in a while for the ever-fashionable girl-reporter look and a Pratt is the only one that doesn't make a knot...

    You Know you have been on Fedora Lounge too long when:

    The first Apple I prototype that Wozniak built had a wooden case. There are some online vendors that sell wooden PC cabinets that would probably come up with a google search. Actually it would probably not be hard to build such a thing if you can put a box together. Or you could do what I always...

    Another Fountain pens post

    I don't have a Waterman but might the pen be leaking from the area between the grip and where the nib is "set in" (I don't know the right terms for that...) Maybe it needs to be tightened? Doesn't Waterman have a pretty good/lifetime warranty? Best case, you should be able to send the pen to...

    Help for picking fountain pens

    Ha ha! Besides, the aesthetic consideration is most important: you must agree that glass bottles of ink look *much* cooler on your desk than blister packs of plastic cartridges! ;) ..(I get a nice sepia from Pelikan Brown mixed with a little Sheaffer gray)

    Q for ladies who shampoo less than daily

    Is your hair very long and thick? I noticed my hair seems to take longer to dry in pincurls than in rollers (I guess because the roller formation allows more air to circulate and the strands are more spread out). Maybe try damp not wet hair when putting in the pincurls, or try rollers? (I have a...

    Hepster Dictionary

    Oooh... you *need* to look up (the writings that is) Mezz Mezzrow. Apparently he was the one who came up with all the rhyming and "viper" slang (which is why the good smokin' stuff was called "the mighty Mezz"..If you've heard the song "When you're a viper"--most popular by some girl singer...

    Help for picking fountain pens

    Aw, you don't want to want to go really "historical" and use a nice brown sepia-toned ink? ;)

    Diamonds aren't (always) a girl's best friend...

    :eusa_clap What did Holly say in Breakfast at Tiffany's? "But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty; and even that's risky. They only look right on the really old girls...Wrinkles and bones, white hair and diamonds." I also have gotten "into" brooches and pearls...and for your second...

    What Are You Reading

    I heard "Salt" was actually extremely fascinating...seriously! I am reading Anita Loos' memoir about the Talmadge sisters (the silent screen actresses), a book of food-related essays by M.F.K. Fisher, and reading Reading Jazz (compendium of jazz reviews, interviews, criticism, etc. from 1910s...

    RI Last State Still Marking V-J Day

    If we apply *that* logic, I guess we should drop July Fourth and Thanksgiving as holidays as well, since no-one is around to remember them! :eusa_doh:

    Silver Anniversay of Reaganomics

    (bit OT) Hi jamespowers, have you ever picked up The American Conservative magazine? Some of the best political writing I've seen published and their editorial bent seems right up your alley. (am a subscriber but no other affiliation with said magazine)

    $5 Words

    Ah yes! One of my fave U.S. political footnotes, that anti-Claude Pepper pamphlet distributed to Florida near-illiterates that also alleged Pepper engaged in "nepotism" with his sister-in-law and "practiced celibacy" before marriage...!! Anyway, I like "scrofulous". Not only does it sound...

    Do You Consider Yourself To Be An Artist?

    I like that--and it even rhymes! (No artist here, but you might say I have raised nitpicking and pedantry to a fine art...) lol

    Most important freedom

    Not to be flippant... ...the most important freedom is freedom from government! ;)
