    What star's hairstyle do you think could suit me?

    I think bangs and a shoulder-length hairstyle would suit you better. You have a high forehead and bangs would give your face a more oval proportion. A shoulder-length style would fit your youthful character better than the femme fatale look.

    A horrible hat experience.

    I'm sorry about your hat. If you lose your temper, though, you'll end up looking like Frank Burns on M*A*S*H. Remember all the practical jokes he went through? If he'd been able to shrug it off, it wouldn't have been any fun for the jokers and they would have stopped. Of course, some people...

    Fashion Rules of the Past

    I thought it was just shoes. Long ago, they probably got muddy and stained from being worn in mud or snow. As for a white bag, if I go anyplace where I'd have to set it on the floor or ground or other dusty place, it stays home.

    How Vintage Do You Go? -merged thread-

    Re: video games--I feel the same way about the TV. Unless it's a party based on what's on TV (like a Superbowl party), I think it's a lot easier to visit if it's off.

    Fashion Rules of the Past

    At the office... Short or pinned-up hair. No trousers. The rest of the office rules (moderate make-up, no sexy clothes) still apply.

    Vintage "What Not To Wear" (Don't do it girl....)

    I don't like very full trousers on men. It reminds me of a skirt.

    Depression Era Frugality

    Never tried it. I have eaten lamb's quarters, though. It's a weed that grows out West, and it's not bad. My father ate that, too, during the Depression. Do nasturtiums grow in Arizona as prolifically as they do in California? You can eat those...as well as dandelions, raspberry leaves...

    Depression Era Frugality

    My dad used to make his own bullets, too. He also reloaded brass. When he was a kid, he overhead a conversation between his father and another man making a swap. The man said, "Don't tell your kids it's horse meat."

    How Vintage Do You Go? -merged thread-

    I do without most of the aforementioned stuff. But I do like the microwave: it's faster and uses less energy than the stove. It definitely doesn't heat up the kitchen in the summer. And it's not that modern: the first microwave went on the market in 1947.

    Event Prep

    I'd do something fun the night before to relax, but not stay up too late.

    Vintage Etiquette

    I have the 1940 edition of Emily Post's Etiquette at home. If anyone has a burning need to find something out about manners of that era, I'll look it up.

    Home Economics

    I pack my lunch almost every day, too. I stopped buying Ziploc bags and started using plastic containers.

    A youngers man's Classic Style and women

    I don't think the problem is that friends can't become lovers--it does happen. Rather, if someone isn't into you, you'll know sooner if you ask her on a date instead of some friendly, daytime, Dutch treat outing.

    Some weeks are better than others. I hope it saves you some money--and I have no doubt you'll easily wrap your brain around it.

    Home Economics

    I shop at two stores: Sunflower Market, which has great produce and meat and low prices, and King Soopers, where I buy most other groceries. The grocery game covers Kings, but not Sunflower. I'll give you about a month's worth of results for King's: April 22: saved 42%, or $7.76. April 29...

    Home Economics

    If you go to the bottom of the page, you'll see where you can get a 4-week trial for $1. I cut out coupons and put them in a coupon book by category--I don't like to hang on to newspapers. The list is in a table form that shows regular price, sales price, and any coupon info. If you can read...

    Home Economics

    I've used thegrocerygame.com for years, and it's a rare week that I don't save at least $1.25. They list dozens of items and whether it's the store's best price or just a semi-sale price, and whether there's a coupon.

    Home Economics

    My tips: Shop on the perimeter of the store, away from all the expensive processed stuff. Use thegrocerygame.com to see what's on sale and whether there's a coupon for it. It's $1.25 per week, with a free trial. Don't let food sit out--it will go bad faster if you do. Wrap it up and put...

    Let's Retire These Movie/TV Plots!

    2) May I suggest Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett, and Masterpiece Theater?

    Helpless women always manage to find men. If they don't find you, they'll find someone else. I don't think your suits have much to do with your attracting helpless women.
