    What do you want out of life?

    On the other hand, my wife and I both plan on retiring this coming Jan. 1 and I have quite a backlog of things to keep me busy. House and yard projects. Travel. Way too many hobbies I don't get much time for now. Fishing. Some good years to enjoy it all is really all I want.

    Old Hollywood Charm School & Voice Lessons?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with your voice. But I do think you could benefit from a different microphone and better EQ as well as a less echo-y recording environment than what I heard.

    Maui Jim is it a good Sunglasses brand ?

    I had a pair of Ray Ban Aviators (more like today's Outdoorsman) that I'd had for over 20 years and I broke the frames at the nose. Completely my fault. I wrote Ray Ban, explained the situation and that I had some attachment to these glasses and asked if they could be repaired. They said send...

    Bad Table Manners

    My wife (and obviously her family) are Chinese and yes, Chinese table manners are quite different. Practical requirements for eating with chopsticks dictate. For dishes with small cut up pieces, no problems. But noodles - you have no choice but to bring the bowl to your mouth, dig in and do...

    Don't text during a movie at the Alamo, or else...

    It is a rather pathetic bid for attention, isn't it?

    Don't text during a movie at the Alamo, or else...

    ^ Not if any of the cell phone conversations I've been forced to overhear are any indication.

    Forbidden items in my home...

    No illegal substances. No rap. No salesmen. No proselytizers. No uninvited critters - any number of legs. Smoking outside only.

    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    Occasionally. Belts, wallets, checkbook covers, etc. Made a couple of custom holsters in the past year. Most of what you need for what you are talking about doing you should be able to get from Tandy.

    Is chivalry dead?

    Waffle House waitresses are notorious for that. I still can't get my 30 year old son into a Waffle House since a waitress call him "Hon" when he was about 13. :eek:

    To Feather or Not to Feather?

    Never. Just don't care for them.

    Is chivalry dead?

    My take on today's level of swearing may be a little different. Leaving media out of it for the moment I believe it's all about peer group conformity. Like many here I was raised not to swear and didn't - when in high school. When I first got out of high school I went to work for a while...

    Is chivalry dead?

    Libber, "Don't you think I can open that door myself?" Me (continuing to hold door and smiling), "Yes." I was raised to open doors, walk on the street side, open the car door and all those things that used to be considered part and parcel of being a mannerly man. I still do them and I always...

    Reshaping a straw Open Road--can it be done?

    I just got a Shantung Open Road about a month back. It's stiff as a board and looks too water proof (to my eye) for even steam to do much to. It looks like it's been coated in something to keep it stiff and waterproof. I'd be very afraid it would snap and crack if I attempted to modify its...

    Windows, Mac, or Linux?

    I started with DOS 1.1 and have run every OS Microsoft has ever put out. Currently I have pc's at home running everything from XP to Windows 7 as well as SUSE Linus. I'd love to switch from Windows to Linux, but for my purposes Linus still doesn't have acceptable alternatives to the...

    Belly bumps. Not new - I know.

    Akubra Campdraft

    I wish it worked that way. She reserves the WGG for me. :eek: If and when this hat ever arrives I fully expect to be on the receiving end again. "You've only got one head, why do you need so many hats?? Yada, Yada. :p
