    You can't. But you can say, "I'm sorry, but I don't discuss that" if they ask you about your money.

    fireworks and pets

    Fireworks and the vacuum cleaner don't bother my dog at all. I have to tell her to move when I'm vacuuming. I don't know anything about her previous owners, but I wonder if she had some lessons or experience as a hunting dog. She loves to flush out birds--I have to dig my heels in to keep her...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Yes, I used to have a pair of those pants. Weren't the Marines wearing those for decades before the Air Force adopted them? I have a pair of pants with adjustable tabs that I adjusted when I lost weight. :) I'll buy the idea that certain clothing styles are enabling to weight gain, kind...

    New study- men enjoy their grooming time

    Say What? I wish the article gave a link to the study and said how often men spend $121 on grooming products. This article in the Daily Mail says both men and women spend around 302 pounds a year on them. That's around $460. It also says men spend 83 minutes a day preparing to go out. I spend...

    These weren't button holes, they were loops of fabric, and I don't have a button hook.

    Eddie Bauer

    I just had a strange experience with an order from EB. I ordered two pairs of jeans exactly alike except for the color. One pair of jeans was about a size bigger than the other. The tags say they're the same size. Regardless of manufacturer, that's why some things go on sale: they're mis-sized...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Re: loose clothes and weight, I wear tailored clothes every day. It's a long story, but I gained 20 pounds in three years eating pretty much the same diet and having the same workout routine that I'd lost weight on before. I was aware I was gaining weight. Frustrating? Yes! Re: Air Force...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    First of all, congratulations on losing 20 pounds and seeking to dress better. I too recently lost 20 pounds. I looked nice in pants the next size up--so that wasn't the issue. I think the best reality checks are the scale and the mirror. I don't think it's the role of clothing designers...

    My Vintage Like Cosmetics

    In the blue bar near the top of the screen is the word "Search." You can also do an advanced Google search. Go to Google and click on Advanced Search. Fill in the blanks where necessary. I think there's a sticky about this in the Observation Bar.

    It's not just you, Melanie, this happens about once a week. It's just easier to have ~one thread on a subject than 500 with a couple of posts.

    Your Favorite Documentaries

    A few years ago, I saw a PBS documentary on meth. Suddenly, a lot of things were explained about someone I used to know. On a happier note, National Geographic produced a docudrama called The Story of the Weeping Camel. After a difficult birth, a camel rejects her calf. The Mongolian family...

    "Even those who want to dig deeper have to start with the surface." -Miss Manners. Yes, the battle cry is "Comfort!" but some of the clothes don't look that comfortable to me. A lot of shoes look like they'd fall off your foot if you weren't careful--and I see a lot of blisters from not...

    HUMIDITY!!!

    I use Paul Mitchell hair paste. My hair is thick and straight, and this product holds it back even in humid weather. A good haircut is important, too. Tell your barber about your problem, and he should be able to help. My hairstylist texturizes my hair now and then to give it a better hold...

    There's a store in Denver that's full of that kind of overpriced stuff. I don't know how they sell anything.

    Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!

    I used to be a professional photographer. Taking catalog-quality photographs takes some fairly expensive equipment, lots of practice, and an eye for lighting and composition. Again, there's quite a bit of time, effort, knowledge and skill involved in being a middle-man.
