    The most EFFECTIVE television ads?

    To me, the most INeffective ad campaigns were the anti-drug campaigns. Eggs and brains, drugs and frying pans, what's the difference? :rolleyes:

    The most EFFECTIVE television ads?

    Long ago, I saw an ad that showed a very old woman biting into an apple with her own teeth. She said she used dental floss.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    When I was in high school and college 20 years ago, we were required to take a class in making speeches. Is that not the case anymore?

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I don't know for certain that it would work, but if the paragraph is unfamiliar, they might not understand what they just said. Hearing or seeing a recording of yourself can be eye-opening.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I've noticed that too, and wonder if anyone but their parents and friends can understand them. I'm afraid I don't see how reading good literature would help them enunciate, though. Maybe record themselves reading a paragraph, play it back, and hear how garbled it sounds?

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

    When I was furnishing my house 14 years ago, almost everything came from estate sales. I already had a few pieces. Almost all the appliances came with the house. Then the price of antiques went up: $275 for a small footstool. Four hundred dollars for a simple bookshelf. Something like $10 for...

    Television... who's sick of it? Anyone?

    That's the reason I don't watch many movies made during the past 30 years, especially romantic comedies. Unless it's supposed to be silly (think Carol Burnett), it doesn't work.

    Television... who's sick of it? Anyone?

    I recently tried to listen to a book like that: How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accent, or something like that. Incredibly annoying.

    Television... who's sick of it? Anyone?

    I've been watching a couple of great series via Netflix: Sanctuary and The Lost Room. If you want to watch some smart, unusual dramas, I recommend these. At the same time, I agree with Forgotten Man that mindless, indiscriminate viewing is, indeed, a time vampire.

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    My Pain Relief Blog Why did you start your blog? Because doctors tend not to be of much help if you have pain. I've had several health problems over the past few years, and my family has too, so I've researched ways to help those problems. How did you decide on a topic, find your niche...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    A female friend of a friend told us about something that happened at work. Around closing time, some of the women were picked up by a man with a shaved head (or very short hair) and a goatee and mustache, driving an SUV. At first, she thought it was the same man. It took her a while to realize...

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    There has been a lot of focus on celebrities, costumes and extremes. But one of the most important factors in ordinary people looking good is fit. Fit flopped in the 90s and 2000s. The 90s brought us baggy jeans and boxy shirts. Men's shirt sleeves often started somewhere near the elbow...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    FWIW, I think a man who is going bald looks best if he cuts his hair short, but not stubbly-short. As for the prickly pear look (stubbly hair, two-day growth of beard), I'd run my hands over that...if I needed to exfoliate.

    Your Favorite Big Band

    Technically good, yes, but The Lawrence Welk Show feels to me like fake fun. I just never cared for it. I like Doc Severinson, although I like bands from the 30s and 40s better. Videos of the Tonight Show Band: Stardust...

    Parting Men's Hair: Where Should I Part Mine?

    Your barber should be able to tell you where your cowlick is and where your hair will part better.
