    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Potentially suspect to whom? Somebody who is "butt simple"?

    How Are You Shopping for Christmas This Year (and What are you Buying?)

    You could send Christmas cards early with a note that in order to live within your means, you aren't buying Christmas gifts for anyone but your baby. Anyone with a smidgen of maturity will understand. As for the rest...well, you can't please everyone.

    Black Christmas cards

    No, it's consistent.

    Looking to move

    Sonia, if you make six more posts (to bring it to 15), we can PM each other. But I don't think the bartenders will mind us talking here about moving to a mid-century house, especially since this thread won't likely need a lot of moderating. I'll send a PM to Joie--she and her husband were...

    How Are You Shopping for Christmas This Year (and What are you Buying?)

    My country, cowboy dad likes shaving balm, but he'd never go into a cosmetics store to buy it.

    How Are You Shopping for Christmas This Year (and What are you Buying?)

    Thanks! :o It finally feels like it's Christmas again instead of just winter. I like your suggestions for the stocking stuffers, too.

    Looking to move

    Those houses are more turn-of-the century, give or take. Most of the mid-century houses (1940s through 1960s) are south of Hampden, west of Federal, and east of University. I don't know where the line is on the north.

    Looking to move

    Well, Denver has low humidity (usually), over 300 sunny days a year and four seasons. I can't say it has no humidity, though--you might have to move to Arizona or Nevada for that. Most of the time, the winters are mild--more tan than white. And I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble finding a...

    I just found some gloves at Lands' End Overstocks. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

    The perfect movie

    Rear Window. No great leaps of logic or suspension of disbelief required. The snappy dialogue actually makes sense. Likable, believable main characters we're afraid for. Humor breaks the tension. Grace Kelly in beautiful vintage dresses. I can't say more without spoiling the movie for...

    How Are You Shopping for Christmas This Year (and What are you Buying?)

    Need Good Quality Warm Gloves My list of people to shop for was down to my parents this year. My best friend and I no longer shop for each other, my favorite brother and sister are gone, and I don't shop for my coworkers, nieces or nephews. Since my parents and I don't need a thing, we decided...

    How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World

    The book The Consolations of Philosophy by Alain de Botton has a guide to thinking for yourself, based on the Socratic method (p. 24 in the chapter "Consolation for Unpopularity." I’ve made up an example (in italics) to illustrate. It goes like this: 1. Locate a statement commonly described as...

    How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World

    I used to visit Wendy Shalit's website. (Shalit wrote the book Return to Modesty.) What turned me off about that site and a few others promoting more modesty and less raunch was the assumption that getting married and making babies was the only way for a woman to be fulfilled. Both of those...

    Who are your Role Models?

    I don't mind if people say they don't have role models. There's more than one way to find direction.

    It would scare me off, too.

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    I use "thee" when I talk to my dog. "Pumpkin pie is OK for me, but not for thee."

    How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World

    Maybe the fact that the author and her friends see porn and raunchiness as part of the furniture is a sign that they're awash in both. Were they to shut it all off as much as possible for a month or two, they might have a different perspective. It's like people who never turn down the volume on...

    The Lost Art of Manliness

    Good point--my idea of manliness, for what it's worth, has nothing to do with attracting women like flies. It's kind of funny, though, when the type you describe acts like he's hot stuff around women who can read him like a bad novel.

    Who are your Role Models?

    I've read that Doyle based Holmes on a real person he knew.
