    One reason why I would never buy from LOST WORLDS..

    I'm from a family of the sort of people LW seems to admire: my father was a bull rider, my brother was a heavy equipment operator at one time, my sister was a biker. Nearly everyone in my family knows how to make, grow or fix things. Those who are the real deal don't shout it from the rooftops...

    Redyeing Denim? Can it be done?

    You could try Mrs. Stewart's Bluing. Use it in the wash or rinse. It makes whites whiter and blues bluer. It won't get rid of the white spots, but may make them less prominent without damaging the jacket.

    Bad Table Manners

    I'm not sure if my comment belongs here or in the annoying phrase thread, but it annoys me when my mother says, "Pardon my boardinghouse reach." If you know it's bad manners, why not say, "Pass the salt."

    It's the summer of 39....

    I saw Gone with the Wind in the theater several years ago when it was restored. It's worth seeing on the big screen.

    Bad Table Manners

    No, they didn't. One Thanksgiving when I was 12, I threw a piece of turkey at my sister and it landed in her wine glass. Now, I sit down and eat properly, linen napkins and all (thanks to Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, 1st ed.) even though I live alone. Miss Manners...

    Homeownership and Foreclosures, 1910-1960

    An article by Steven Malanga in City Journal, Spring 2009 edition, discusses homeownership and foreclosures in the 20th century and today. Here's an excerpt from "Obsessive Housing Disorder": We’ve largely forgotten that Herbert Hoover, as secretary of commerce, initiated the first major...

    Whatever happened to "coat and tie required"?

    :offtopic: I'm trying to imagine the club manager telling a plumber that he has to run home and change before he can fix their backed up sewer line. :rolleyes:

    Whatever happened to "coat and tie required"?

    I imagine it's losing business, not a lawsuit, that caused restaurants to modify their dress codes. I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that sweatsuit wearers aren't a protected class.

    Summer hat suggestions?

    Geesie, the vintage women's hats I've seen are more decorative than shading. Here are some Tilley hats to consider. They're made in Canada, guaranteed for life, and provide excellent sun protection. Unlike most women's hats, they come in different sizes...

    Whatever happened to "coat and tie required"?

    The only problem is that it varies from place to place and with socioeconomic levels. If you want to fit in, the best thing to do is ask the host or restaurant manager what most people wear.

    Whatever happened to "coat and tie required"?

    I think the University Club in Denver requires a coat and tie. You have to be a member or a guest, though.
