    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    Sounds like the movie Picnic. A nice, attractive girl runs off with a hobo she's known for, oh, three hours. :rolleyes: But I did read a book kind of like that: The Lost Diary of Don Juan. However, he was quite energetic and skilled in his previous career as a burglar and in his, uh...

    so disappointed...

    I was doing my parents' taxes when my father got a call from a telemarketer. To get him off the phone, my father said, "I can't talk, I've got a guy here doing my taxes." Thanks, Dad.

    Show us your Vintage Rucksacks!

    I have a Duluth Pack canvas backpack that's the size of an ordinary backpack. I'm not sure if they make them anymore, though. I'd call them and see if they do. A few years ago I searched high and low for a nice looking backpack and it's all I came up with.

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    They still do that, just a little differently: a stacked, 24-year-old lawyer goes to a Beverly Hills house to settle a multi-million dollar divorce and finds dead bodies. Then there's a scene where she talks to an equally stacked law enforcement officer and bland middle aged man she's crazy...

    No Applause?

    lol I'm torn about inserting the applauding emoticon here.

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Lay off anything with wheat in it--that's what works for me.

    No Applause?

    That's what I've always thought. I applaud musicians and actors, but not their recorded performances. I don't give myself a hand, either. Why should I--for buying a ticket?

    4/40, 9/80?

    I did the 9/80 a few years ago. I liked having Friday afternoons off. Nine-hour days never felt any longer to me than 8-hour days.

    Sinatra CD at Target

    And there's a slew of them used for less than that. I've had good results buying used books and CDs through Amazon.

    What art is in your home?

    Summer, 1909, by Frank W. Benson. A Monet print; I don't know the title. A few of my own photos and paintings and some decorative panels. Mostly, the walls in my house are bare.

    Who wrote the book on motherhood?

    Isn't there a show like that with teenagers called The Baby Borrowers?

    That rings a bell, now that you mention it.

    The pocket flaps look western. At least, I've never seen flaps like that on anything that wasn't.

    Who wrote the book on motherhood?

    I'm 39 and haven't changed my tune. I'm more Baroness Shraeder than Fraulein Maria: motherhood isn't up my alley.

    Make Do and Mend

    I was thinking about getting a stand for my free weights. But I have a maple desk I don't use--I can put them on that. I've thought about making something to set on top of the weights that will look nice and that I can easily remove. I'll put my new treadmill where the desk is now. I found a...

    Who wrote the book on motherhood?

    Just for laughs, you might want to read Mommy Knows Worst by Jim Lileks. It's full of Golden Era advice on parenthood: Don't hold the baby too much Put oil on the baby and set her in the sun

    Advice needed: Navy sport coat with Black pants

    Marc C. started a thread on how oxblood shoes go with practically everything. I bought a pair--and sure enough, they go with all my work clothes, which are all in men's suiting colors.

    Ettiquete: Men and Bridal Showers.

    Respectfully, all of this was known when the last-minute invitation was accepted. Suppose several people backed out: the hosts are left with food and drink they might not have bought, besides an underpopulated party that they might well have cancelled. However, last-minute invitations and...

    You Look It, But Do You Act It?

    My only "crystal ball" is observing how individuals have acted in the past. People tend to do the same things again and again. A friend of mine, for example, has a 20-something year history of dating quirky, unserious men who don't appreciate her. Life isn't full of that many coincidences--the...
