    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I have a shoe basket by the door with a carpet in front. I don't want to track dirt/bacteria/salt/mud in on my carpet, since I am not physically able to shampoo it as often as I'd like to. That said, I never ask visitors to remove their shoes. Sometimes they are nice and ask if I want them to...

    That makes absolutely no sense. I'd hang up on them.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Had that happen yesterday because we were swamped and I had a minor medical issue that needed immediate attention. I could not get any coworkers to pay attention to me because they all had customers. I abandoned any hope of anyone covering my station, went to deal with my situation, and left...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I guess I can finally join this thread. I haven't worn hats since the '80s but recently made 2 cloches, one with an enormous flower on the side. People I don't know stare and sometimes smile, though I have seen other ladies wearing more refined cloches. My friends upon seeing them for the...

    Ask a question, get an answer [general attire edition]

    I'd rather wear t-straps or flats year-round, but it's cold here and I literally have to walk in snow drifts on the way to and from work. I wear riding boots nearly every day all winter. I wear skirts often, but on the occasion I wear pants I tuck them in because my winter pants have slim legs...

    I wholeheartedly agree. It will never be ok, but the way you responded shows great character. You have my deep respect, ChiTown.

    When was 911 introduced as the emergency #?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I'm looking for riding boots that color because it goes with everything. You can pair it with a brown, black, or grey palette.

    Glad you don't have to deal with it as much as I do. I often wonder why I moved from SoCal to Wisconsin. Stupid, I guess.

    Simon's cat is the best. When I discovered them I binge-watched all I could find.

    Your face says it all. You must be miserable!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thank you! That is the highest compliment. It's what I'm going for. I used to like the early '70s fashions and now I realize that's because they were reviving the '20s/'30s.

    I made another one and accented with my grandmother's scarf:

    chrisbfu, that is my favorite cap style. moehawk, that is a beautiful shade of green.

    I decided to use some leftover yarn in order to figure out a crochet method. The brim rolls up more than I'd like and it's not quite snug enough, but it's a first attempt.

    I made a cloche the other day. Can I post that since it's not vintage?

    I've been there. It's awesome, so funny. They really are very nice, but great at acting. They sing on the bar, too, if I remember correctly.

    your favourite popcorn

    Does it count if I like mine made into meal, flattened into disks, and fried in coconut oil with cheese in between? No? (I'm not a fan of popcorn because I've had to scoop aproximately 18547487504983508 bags of it at this point. But I do like corn overall.)

    Tell that to my dad. He's 77. I think in Wisconsin they just put their coats on in November and don't take them off until May.
