    Well, it's over.

    I agree with others who have said to be civil. I sometimes work on divorce cases (I work at a CPA firm). Being vindictive, trying to wring out every last nickel you can, will only enrich your lawyers and accountants (and impoverish you). I've seen divorce cases drag on for years. Fighting with...

    Fake Melons

    This made me think of a woman I saw at the bus stop several months ago. She was around 55 or 60, wearing a miniskirt and a sweater that stretched over a figure that was sitting there like the Rocky Mountains. Looking back on this reminds me that dignity is an underrated quality in women.

    The smaller you are, the less there is to sag. :) My fat is on my face. I don't think I could ever drown.

    Fake Melons

    Have you thought of weight training? It'll help lift and firm everything, and it's good for your bones and your strength as well. I've been lifting weights for years--PM me if you're interested.

    Gentlemen's Clubs

    Traditionally, I believe you had to be recommended by a member and then voted on by the other members. Once you were in, you paid a substantial amount of money to belong.

    Fake Melons

    Big, small, natural or not, I just wish women wouldn't wear skin-tight shirts and low-cut blouses, especially in the office. I don't normally pay much attention to people's figures, but some people make it hard not to look. :o

    Thank you! It's off to Joie DeVive now.

    Classic education

    Charm and etiquette aren't the same as a classical education. They both have their value, though. If a woman's education, along with her character and abilities, are a stone, charm school is the buffer that gives it a smooth finish. (I'm sure you've heard of a diamond in the rough.) Although it...

    Classic education

    Agreed. Not sure what charm schools and women working outside the home have to do with a classical education.

    Classic education

    About six months ago, I had a thread called "My classical education," or something like that. My degree is in mechanical engineering (talk about having doubts about the value of a degree), so I didn't learn much of the classics. The Teaching Company has a large selection of lectures by top...

    Ready to Date Again

    A lot of people where I go swing dancing marry each other. It's mostly people in their 20s, but all ages go there. The rule I follow when chatting with someone online is to avoid saying anything I wouldn't say in person. When I tried online dating, the men who responded to my profile...

    Vintage Dance Clothing

    My swing dance uniform is an A-line or otherwise fullish skirt and a t-shirt.

    Ready to Date Again

    Well, a few months ago, a college sophomore said he wanted to go out with me. I told him I was 38...he said it didn't matter. You're only as old as you look and feel.

    Carrie Bradshaw style

    I don't understand the whole stapless wedding gown craze. First, pretty much only fit young women look good in them, and many of today's brides aren't so fit, aren't so young, or have tattoos that just don't look very bridal. Second, it doesn't meet the dress code of some churches or religions...

    The Strangest Thing

    The examples you give are of highly unprofessional and unethical behavior. But they don't involve tearing down coworkers (as far as I can discern).

    The Strangest Thing

    This is why I'm glad every day that I work with a group of winners. Losers--especially women--will tear you down.

    Ladies Globe Trotting Hat?

    I'll try little jaw clips; they work well for my hair.

    Is vintage clothing collecting GENETIC?

    My brother restored old John Deere tractors and loved antique mechanical things. My mother and aunt have kept housewares from their ancestors; my aunt, for the sentimental value; my mom, mostly because she can't throw anything away. I can't think of anyone else besides me and my brother who like...

    My First Vintage Automobile

    Are you going to use the car as a daily driver or just as a hobby car? If you are looking for a daily driver, my suggestion would be to get an older Toyota or Honda that doesn't need any mechanical work, and have a mechanic (perhaps your father) inspect it before buying it. I say this as...
