    Formerly known as "slumming"?

    Instant nausea inducement

    Parents who think a military experience will make their child grow up should send him or her to a military school on their own nickel. IME, though, even real military service doesn't necessarily make people mature. It certainly won't make them less cocky. Mountain Man and the wolf t-shirt...

    ...Because they'd be such valuable assets to the military, but wouldn't join on their own? I guess I don't get it.

    Shutter Island (2009)

    I was really drawn into this film when I watched it last night. I ended up wondering if the truth was (A), (B), or both. This story probably couldn't have been set in a contemporary period. Teddy's background was important, and the mental health care system is much changed since 1954...

    I thought we left Mountain Man and wolf t-shirts in the 90s.

    Vintage Coffee Makers

    The coffee make I just bought at an antique store looks just like this one. (I didn't pay anywhere close to $165 for it, though.) http://www.vintageswank.com/miva/merchant.mv?Category_Code=&Product_Code=212306&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=VS Any thoughts on whether it's a 1930s model?

    Favorite Summer Drink

    Sounds like chocolate cake for breakfast, a la Bill Cosby.

    "Hardcore Tweedists"

    How about a tweed shower cap? Like a big, poofy newsboy in plastic with an elastic edge. All tweed, all the time!

    "Hardcore Tweedists"

    My year-round tweed clothes aren't made of wool; they're cotton or rayon blends. This is the only case I know of where women's clothes are better than men's.

    "Hardcore Tweedists"

    "All the time" as in every day? I have some tweed separates I wear once a week each, if that counts. Why? Tweeds are easy to mix with other separates, and I just like the look.

    Help me accessorize this Outfit!

    I like the gold shoes, too. Your leg in the gold shoe looks longer than the one in the red.

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    If we're talking about fully-functioning adults sharing a house and helping each other out, in a situation that's beneficial for everyone involved, I don't see this as a failure. My best friend lives in such a situation. But she's the only one I know.

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    My ex-boyfriend's mother started charging him rent when he was 16. He moved out--and why not?

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    I've known a few middle-aged people who lived with relatives and helped out with elderly parents or disabled family members. But most people I've known who were middle-aged and living at home didn't want to leave an entry-level job or couldn't keep an entry-level job. I guess I've never seen...

    What we've lost since the Golden Era

    I have nieces and nephews who are nearly 40 years old and still living off their parents. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife..." Gen. 2:24 "Life is difficult and there are those who cannot adjust themselves to it." From a tablet...
