    Foods that shouldn't be allowed in your house because you will eat it all

    Dried apricots, and black sesame crackers (they're Chinese, and I don't know what they're called in English)

    Those collars suit you very well!

    Old Dutch Chases Dirt - But Do You? How?

    This is my mother's strategy as well :-) I too, find I do best when I have routine for cleaning. Now if only I could settle my life down enough to have routines for anything...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    He addresses that point somewhat in the articles. The mega-grocery chains have the price advantage due to economy of scale, but that's primarily a function of purchasing. By creating corner grocers that are essentially a distribution point for the same company, the price advantage can be largely...

    1. Watched Over-The-Air television? No reception where I live. 2. Used a Rotary Phone? Never, but I have two I'm trying to fix up. 3. Listened to AM radio? Saturday morning, waiting for a weather report. 4. Drank soda from a glass bottle? About a month ago. 5. Opened a can -- any...

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    Portland is pretty good, I agree. I can only imagine what it must have been like with the old streetcar lines. And instead, we agonize over installing MAX service...bloody shortsighted of us. Or on the sidewalk, what's worse. Using Germany as an example again, there are some significant...

    Prioritizing the basics

    I don't mind modern items that look classic. Everything I'm wearing in the second picture is modern. It was also painfully expensive, although part of that may simply be my having to adjust my notion of what things should cost. I like the blazer suggestion, and having a third jacket will...

    And what, if you please, is the most effective manner? ;)

    Travel in style (Sucess on the horizon...?)

    I hear you there. I found some nicely priced trousers only to discover that the length I need starts at a 34" waist, in which I would swim.

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    And that, unfortunately, seems to result in a social stigma against public transit.

    The lack of Pedestrian culture in America

    Here are three articles by the same author I found very interesting. Freedom from the automobile is one of the things about living in Germany that I miss the most. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

    Ideas for free and inexpensive dates.

    I take as many female friends to the range as will let me, so I hardly consider it a date! ;)

    Ideas for free and inexpensive dates.

    My first date with my girlfriend was going to the park with a Mad Greek Sandwich and a chessboard. We didn't have this problem, but we decided later that it pauses in the conversation could be easily absorbed by staring at the chess game.

    "Aviator" shirts

    That picture causes me to wonder...is there such a thing as a double-breasted shirt?

    Prioritizing the basics

    Success, I hope! One other reason I was frustrated with ebay was that there are webfilters at work, and I generally wound up missing things by several hours. Thank you, Marc Chevalier, for mentioning esnipe in your Classic Style article. It sure makes ebay a lot easier. These should polish...

    Pre-soiled hats... heheheh

    I will laugh if I ever run across a distressed gun or wristwatch. Don't most of us buy equipment to be used? And if we enjoy using it, wouldn't that be the most fun way to achieve a "distressed finish?" By golly, if I want my boots to look beaten-up, I'm going to wear them somewhere fun!

    I felt skinny this morning.

    Shoe Care / Shoe Shine

    What have you tried? I'd start by immersing your hand in warm, soapy water and scrubbing your hand with the brush.

    Prioritizing the basics

    Thank you for the store suggestions, Cacklewack. I think I'm better off sticking with brick-and-mortar places for now, as I'm not sure enough about sizing to feel good about ordering online yet.
