    Do you "Adopt" discarded Golden Era Items?

    Bedbugs If you like to salvage furniture from the dump or the curbside or alley, be careful about picking up upholstered items. There has been a resurgence of bedbugs.

    Ettiquete: Men and Bridal Showers.

    Strictly speaking, you shouldn't back out of something at the last minute unless you're in the emergency room. Guests backing out at the last minute--or just not showing up--is one reason some of us rarely entertain. If you don't want to attend something, just say that you're sorry, but you...

    Do you "Adopt" discarded Golden Era Items?

    Not me. I can't tolerate clutter. ETA: I have a low threshold of "clutter." If I don't use it, it has to go.

    Summer Fashion

    I don't bother with pantyhose except at work. As for tanner, there are one or two threads in praise of women of palor. Pale is the new tan, I say.

    Why does this look wrong to me? (Cary Grant Picture)

    For the reasons I just stated, that was how it struck me at first glance. If you want to state all the reasons it isn't, that's fine, but don't do so for my benefit.

    Why does this look wrong to me? (Cary Grant Picture)

    My take on this To my untrained eye, his suit is cut like a gangster's: double breasted and narrow at the waist. Grant nearly always played more upstanding characters.

    TCM showed "The Seven Samurai" the other night. That's a little off the beaten path.

    How Vintage Do You Go? -merged thread-

    OTOH, Eastern medicine hasn't changed much since the 50s, and it can be very effective. My dog had cancer and couldn't stand chemo and antiinflammatories. I put him on a regimen of herbs instead. My vet was skepitical and the oncologist said he'd live about 2 months without treatment. In fact...

    Am I Alone on this one ???

    I've never done this, although I usually wear a hat outside and have for years. However, I go to take off my glasses when they're already off, or try to put on sunglasses over my regular glasses.

    Manners/Etiquette

    Working with the Public Several years ago, I was a temp taking incoming calls. I found a few things helpful: If you or your company is wrong, admit it. Make any apology in a businesslike manner. For some reason, an apologetic tone seems to be an invitation for further criticism. Ask...
