    20 Things You Should NEVER Buy Used

    A damp tissue couldn't have been that old. It might have been put there by a store customer.

    OT: My parents

    My parents are both around 80 and have serious health problems. A few months ago, my mother was in a nursing home with a broken leg. I cooked up a strategy to get my father to take better care of himself so he could take better care of my mother, but he just wouldn't do anything for his health...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I gave up trying to wear short hair. I'm pleased to see so many people have kicked the sugar habit.

    Learning to Dance

    Good leading is like speaking. Sometimes, what's needed isn't more volume, but better enunciation. In other words, it's important to use the proper motions when leading. If you're using sufficient leverage to get a good swingout, you don't need more leverage. And the lead shouldn't directly...

    20 Things You Should NEVER Buy Used

    I generally don't buy used shirts. I'm not opposed to it, it's just hard to find them without stains.

    The Return of the Lady's Lady????

    I've been watching The X Files on Netflix and was struck by how ladylike Agent Scully is. I like that she looks professional, she has dignity, speaks in measured terms, and shows loyalty to her partner. She's also courageous, thinks for herself and doesn't chase everything in a pair of pants...

    Learning to Dance

    Generally, it's not good to give unsolicited advice to others. But if someone is causing you pain, there's nothing wrong saying something like "Your leading is too firm for me and it's making my shoulder hurt." Someone more advanced might give specific advice on leading more gently if he seems...

    Roadtrip

    That was my dad's solution, too. Dad didn't have a head of long, thick hair to comb out after a day of that. My solution is to fly.

    20 Things You Should NEVER Buy Used

    Unless there's a serious safety or sanitation concern involved, isn't price the main consideration? Would you go that wrong with a $10 vacuum cleaner from a garage sale if you tested it first? And even if there is a safety concern, isn't it better to, say, replace your bald tires with some...

    Coming this fall...Secretariat!!!

    So it is with humans, too. It's also the portions you have of various muscle fibers--fast twitch (speed) and slow-twitch (endurance). I would guess that Secretariat was born with a lot of high-twitch muscle, as well as a very large heart.

    Ladies...

    I don't know anything about your hat (can't see the photos), but it helps to have a more descriptive thread title, like "What kid of ladies' hat is this?" As to the maker, have you done a Google search of the Fedora Lounge?

    weight gain options, yes you read it right

    Eggs have quite a bit of cholesterol. But you're right that they aren't unhealthy (unless you're allergic to them). The fat and cholesterol you ingest don't automatically turn into body fat or clog your arteries. Newer theories of heart disease involve inflammation rather than fat or...

    Ice Cream !!!!

    There's a product here called Carb Smart that's made by Breyers. The package doesn't actually say "ice cream." It's tasty and has only 5g net carb. The vanilla is good with root beer or chocolate-hazel nut tea.

    I liked The Untouchables and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, too.

    weight gain options, yes you read it right

    The lipid hypothesis is a very common belief. However, according to a report on the Framingham Study, With one exception there was no discernible association between reported diet intake and serum cholesterol level in the Framingham Diet Study Group. The one exception was a weak negative...

    What's that saying--"If you remember the 60, you probably weren't there"?

    weight gain options, yes you read it right

    Ask ten different health professionals about weight, and they'll suggest ten different things. But basically, there are two major theories of weight gain: calories in, calories out; and endocrinology 101. CICO states that, basically, if you eat fewer calories, or burn more calories, you'll lose...

    Show Us Your Aprons!

    My father and his father both wore aprons, and all their paternal ancestors probably did, too--leather ones. They were blacksmiths and welders. I usually wear a full, plain cloth one.

    1957-1965 (or 1963)

    I'm thinking of the Kramdens on The Honeymooners. Ralph always said to his wife, "Someday, pow, to the moon!" Everybody knew it was never going to happen.

    ...and those songs have been played, and played, and played ever since. Apparently, you had to be there to appreciate it.
