    Living in America: The BEST place to live and work?

    I like Denver: low taxes, low humidity, few bugs, lots of jobs, lots of swing dancing. The climate is good for gardening, as long as you don't insist on growing woodland plants. Oh, and bars and restaurants are non-smoking. It's pretty clean, too: there's a $500 fine for littering. Winters...

    Wearing a hat at the office

    SP, I get the feeling that your mind was made up on this matter before you ever started this thread. If that's the case, why are you asking for input?

    Wearing a hat at the office

    Until hats do come back, they're sartorially quirky. A government office isn't really the place to make a splash, and as we've seen here, fedoras worn indoors doesn't sit well with everyone. Customers who are put off by it probably won't say anything, though. ETA: All those bad dressers we...

    Wearing a hat at the office

    I don't think a fedora looks right indoors unless it's worn by a professional musician at a gig. Maybe it's my military background. Additionally, anyone who is from the South may find it odd as well. Genteel Southerners--and even some not-so-genteel ones--pride themselves on good manners...

    Call or e-mail the DJ or band.

    Hair cut: Layers

    I agree with getting your hair layered, especially if it's thick. If I didn't have layers, my pincurls would never even get dry.

    Cellulite - the dreaded.

    I'm pretty lean and fit and even my thighs have a little...bumpiness. I just cover it up. However, when I started lifting weights and doing step aerobics about five years ago, a LOT of that hail damage disappeared.

    Uptempo?

    I've always liked a mix of tempos, but yes, it can't be fast enough for some people. [huh]

    Uptempo?

    Try Benny Goodman and some other stuff from the 30s. Also, Roy Eldridge, Woody Herman, Harry James. Some recommended songs: Minor Swing (Django Reinhart), Flying Home (Lionel Hampton), Jumpin' at the Woodside (can't remember who played it). Even Glenn Miller did some songs that were more hot...

    1920's - 40's Halloween music, input please

    I missed this thread--I wish I'd suggested "The Walls Keep Talking" by Gene Krupa and Roy Eldridge.

    :offtopic: Thanks. I couldn't find my old avatar. This photo makes my eyes look brown (or red), though.

    And it's all because "Joe's all alone and he wants to be kissed..." (from "Shout, shout, knock yourself out")

    Someone with a full name very similar to mine got offed by Mack the Knife.

    Didn't Cab Calloway sing "Heidi Heidi Heidi Hi" in "Minnie the Moocher"? (OK, that's a stretch)

    On a different note... ...there's "Work with Me Annie" by The Royals.

    What Songs Have Your Name in Them?

    Only one has mine: "My True Story" by the Jive Five, a song about Earl, Lori, Sue, and a lot of crying.

    Could you be more specific? Are you a DJ? Band leader? Are you playing for dancers or listeners?

    10 overrated classics

    Cream or soft yellow homes anyone?? SOS!

    My house used to be that color, but it faded badly in the Colorado sun. I think you need more of a pure, lemony yellow than you might imagine, rather than ivory.
