    Nutrition and exercise!

    I Stopped Eating Wheat and Started Losing Fat I recently found out that I gained 20 pounds since 2005. :eek: I'll make a long story short and just say that I figured out it was mostly because I was eating wheat (and junk food that it gave me cravings for). Since I bought a scale two weeks ago...

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    Good fit is really important if you're heavy. I don't know if men do this, but women sometimes buy clothes too small because they don't want to admit that they're really a larger size. I don't remember if you said you wear suits, but a suit can make you look 15 pounds lighter compared to a knit...

    How old is your waistline?

    I should have said, "The waist, for those who have one..."

    Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?

    Full-on vintage isn't for me. I wear vintage or vintage-inspired pieces, usually with basic pants.

    How old is your waistline?

    Ribs vary. My waist has ribs.

    How old is your waistline?

    The waist (narrowest part of the torso) is pretty close to the elbow (see the arm to the right). The belly button is just below it.

    "Hollywood killed us all."

    As much as I loved to read when I was a kid, I couldn't finish this book. I didn't like Holden and I couldn't find a plot.

    Glamour? Or Down To Earth Reality

    Hello, fellow Denverite! I work downtown, where people dress up a little more than in the suburbs. I live in the old part of Englewood, where full-length mirrors seem to have been banned.

    Glamour? Or Down To Earth Reality

    For daytime, I always fix my hair and put my makeup on, which takes 15 to 20 minutes. I don't wear eye shadow or fake lashes or polish on my fingernails. I put on some simple jewelry and decent clothes (no worn-out jeans, workout clothes, sweat shirts or hoodies or flip-flops). By 40s standards...

    How much of the stuff in your home was bought "new?"

    Beware if you get upholstered furniture used: it could have bedbugs.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    It's annoying to hear the same complaint again and again from the same person: "I'm freezing!" "I'm starving!" Can't these otherwise intelligent people bring a wool sweater or a snack?

    Pretty sad question

    Adrian, I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like you wish you had spent more time with your friend; it's not unusual to feel that way and think, "Why didn't I just..." I have a friend whose mother died last year. This friend got some creative condolences that, I'm sure, didn't come across as...

    Spit and polish

    Some shoes take a shine better than others. My boots from the Air Force would not shine at all. Everybody in my flight had a go at them. Later on, an Air Force Academy cadet tried. After that, a friend tried and succeeded. This friend often complained of a really acid stomach; he may have had...

    Talk about family likeness

    My grandfather was very dark-skinned and had a Roman nose, but had blue eyes and a German surname that signified some kind of shipwright. To me, he looked Afgan. [huh]

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Yes, I'm aware that Lizzie manages young people. I'm not sure that all incoherent young people are aware that they're being unclear. I don't think they'd deliberately be unclear in a business situation.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Ah. Next time I'm trying to conduct a transaction with a young person I can't understand, I'll ask to talk to a grownup. As for non-English speakers...lo siento, no hablo espanol.

    The most EFFECTIVE television ads?

    Most EFFECTIVE anti-drug skit Long ago, back when Saturday Night Live had all or most of its original cast (and the show was still funny), they did a short skit on drugs. I don't remember it exactly, but one of the cast was acting really slow and stupid. Then a caption came on that read, "Why...
