Exactly right. You have to lead or follow in partner dance, and how that's done isn't obvious from just watching other people. My little experience in the ballroom scene is that people there really expect you to have some idea what you're doing instead of faking it.
You should take a Latin or ballroom class to learn the steps and how to lead. You could also learn balboa to dance smoothly to fast music. If you want to be graceful, take a class in solo moves, like jazz or ballet.
Good swing dancers don't flail or bounce wildly. There's a gentle bounce...
Bonnie & Clyde
Some observations from Manolo the Shoeblogger about the real Bonnie & Clyde vs. the actors who portrayed them:
These photos are also striking because the take us beyond the differences in clothing and physical beauty, (Faye Dunaway is indisputably beautiful, and...
The machine just doesn't understand me
I don't mind answering systems that make you push buttons--that's how I like to pay my credit card bill. What I hate are the ones that try to recognize what you say. For some reason, those often don't understand me.
My mom used to have a glass tea kettle; I don't remember if it was Pyrex. She put a wire trivet under it to use on the stove top. I don't know whether it could have been used with a gas range.
According to the article linked to above, modern Pyrex is tempered, just not highly tempered like windshield glass, which breaks into small, rounded pieces.
How materials are treated when formed definitely affects their properties.
I have some Pyrex glass baking pans and generic glass lids that I've used for over 10 years or so. I admit they're a little scratched and chipped, but I've never had a problem with them.
I did pour hot water into a glass cup once and it shattered. :eusa_doh: Shoulda known better.
Safety Instructions from the Pyrex Website
PYREX GLASS BAKEWARE SAFETY AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
NEVER use on top of the stove, under a broiler, in a toaster oven, or place over oven vent or pilot light.
AVOID severe hot to cold temperature changes, including:
DO NOT add liquid to hot...
I think you can have long hair at any age, but past a certain stage in life, it looks a lot better when it's trimmed and styled.
I've noticed for a long time that women tend to cut their hair when they get pregnant--and it's usually not a flattering cut. I don't get it.
I just read the whole article. Except for Ms. Collins placing the blame for slipping standards mostly on clothing designers, she didn't make one point that I haven't seen 100 times at the Fedora Lounge. Who knows--maybe she's a member.
Had an idiot in the office. The sort of idiot who makes you wonder if they can possibly be that dumb, or if they are just trying to get out of working.
I had a coworker who would say, "Hows come?" (That's not a typo.)
Also, she'd call our Houston office and say (every time, I think), "Houston, we have a problem. Hahahahahaha!"
Then there's "nother." As in, "a whole nother ballgame." The word is other as in an other.

What's worse is getting invites from relatives you never hear from unless they are graduating, getting married or having a baby. All my relatives and your chaps and chapettes should get stuff for each other.
Maybe your mother means "no gifts necessary." It's hard to imagine she'd be upset over getting coffee, scones and bathrobes from her daughter.
In any event, gifts shouldn't be brought to a wedding. I believe they are properly given to the bride or sent to her house before the wedding.
