    Which glasses for me?

    The first pair looks like goggles on you. The second pair would look good as sunglasses. Unless you're going for the arty urban intellectual look, I second Miss N's suggestion about getting something subtler for your regular glasses.

    A Gentleman's Grooming Question: The Proper Style for Thick, Frizzy Hair?

    You may know this already, but your hair shouldn't be squeaky clean after you wash it. A good conditioner might help smooth it out, too.

    A Gentleman's Grooming Question: The Proper Style for Thick, Frizzy Hair?

    A friend of mine whose hair is frizzy does this--and it straightens it out pretty well.

    A Gentleman's Grooming Question: The Proper Style for Thick, Frizzy Hair?

    Maybe a barber who has a large clientele of African descent would be worth a try.

    UK anti-vintage rules (well, kinda)

    The law firm is doing the right thing for the wrong reason. A baggy sweatsuit wouldn't be a distraction at all--but it wouldn't be appropriate, either.

    Skin problems from stomach problems :(

    Naama, are you eating a lot refined foods (like white bread, bagels, chips, junk food) to make your stomach feel better? Those foods can cause bloating. The gluten in them can also make some people break out. When my dog had stomach problems, my vet recommended a diet of white rice and...

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    The young girls nearly popping out of their dresses and guzzling from bottles are bad. The sour, middle-aged women trying hard to look 18 are worse. What's worse than that? The Bachelor, a show in which a gaggle of women compete to marry some dude. To me, it just says "desperate, no boundaries...

    Curling irons

    My hair is naturally very straight and smooth. I use hair gel on the hair around my face and elastic hair paste (by Paul Mitchell) along the hairline to force it back, since it grows forward. After my hair is dry, I just use a curling iron. I curl my hair under or towards my face at the top, and...

    VALU maybe, but I'd wait for it to have a bad day.

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    I'm sorry it sounded that way. I've known really sharp people who never went to college--or finished high school. :offtopic: Yes, I'm really happy with COH (Coach stock). The more research I did on the company, and on Warren Buffett's investing methods, the better the company looked.

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    Really? I haven't found that college graduates can follow directions any better than less-educated people.

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    This is why I get paid so well to do secretarial work: it's rare to find anyone with good spelling and punctuation. Yet some of the young staff people here (where I work) think they know more about English than I, the other word processor (who has a bachelor of arts in English), and the people...

    Dueling phrases

    I don't think these are showdowns (except for soda v. pop), but rather British v. American English.

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    I read about a mother and young daughter who were on a trip when they took a wrong turn and ended up in a seedy part of Amsterdam. The little girl saw a prostitute and said, "Mommy, she's so pretty, she looks just like a Bratz doll."

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    That hasn't worked in my yard. You can spray aphids with soapy water. Again, if you aren't sure how the plant will react to soapy water, spray a few leaves and wait for a day. You can also buy a bag of ladybugs or lacewings.

    Best way to clean a glass bottle

    If it's hard water deposits, fill the bottle with plain vinegar and let it sit overnight. I've gotten heavily crusted faucets clean using vinegar.

    Bad Ju Ju associated with vintage jewelry?

    Slightly off topic, but in the same vein, I'm wearing a co-worker's shoes today. (I wear a 70-year-old jacket and two-year-old shoes, and which one breaks?) Despite the 3-inch stiletto heels, I feel like running frenetically around the office, just like she does.

    The Evidence of Old Lovers - Keep or Destroy?

    If a letter could lead to much embarassment (or worse), it should be burned. A good rule for writing letters is to avoid writing anything you'd regret seeing printed in a newspaper above your name. I think that still leaves room for writing affectionate letters.
