    The Holiday Dress Dilemma

    Go to Ross or a thrift store. I found a great cocktail dress at Ross a few years ago for $9.

    Ladies and Gents, A dating issue/question

    Since this isn't a thread about marriage, I'll keep my comment brief. Not getting married is fine--after all, I'm not married. But if a woman wants to have kids, is religious, or is financially or emotionally dependent on her mate, she's probably better off with a legal commitment.

    Ladies and Gents, A dating issue/question

    On the one hand, if his worst faults are stinginess with compliments and not wanting to get his hands dirty, and he's otherwise a good person and treats you with love and respect, I don't think it's worth breaking up over. Make sure that you're showing appreciation for him. :) And make sure...

    Revitalization of Towns?

    Here's an article from City Journal about failed attempts to revitalize Buffalo, New York.

    Revitalization of Towns?

    Atomic Glee said: One prominent local family took a look at downtown Fort Worth, and saw not urban decay, but possibilities. They had the vision to see downtown, not as it was, but reborn as what it could be. So, in 1979 Bass Brothers Enterprises started buying land downtown - lot by lot...

    Swingin' on Nothin'

    There's a reason it's called social dancing: it's supposed to be a social experience, not just canoodling with your sweetie.

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    Several years ago, Oprah Winfrey showed her audience a shirt that one of her personal shoppers had bought for her. It was a $1,500 blouse. She told them to return it because to her, no blouse was worth $1,500. Unless the shirt is an artifact, it's just clothing.

    Revitalization of Towns?

    Englewood, the suburb of Denver where I live, started to do this about 10 years ago, and I think they're doing a good job. What was once the largest shopping mall in the world went defunct. It was torn down and government buildings, retail, and condos were built in its place. One of the...

    Kicking the Coke Habit: Hello, Clear Skin

    My heartbreak diet was a daily bagel and a Coke. I don't remember what state my skin was in, but everybody told me how great I looked since I lost weight. Gee, I hadn't thought I looked that bad before. :(

    Kicking the Coke Habit: Hello, Clear Skin

    Corn syrup, fructose, glucose, honey, cane sugar, etc., it's all sugar.

    Best hairpsray ?

    KMS. It's expensive, but it works where others have failed for me. It held up during a very hot summer when Aussie hairspray just wilted. I get it at Ulta salon.

    Kicking the Coke Habit: Hello, Clear Skin

    I went cold turkey. After a few days of cold turkey, I got a stomach ache, a headache, I was tired, and couldn't concentrate. Therefore, I recommend weaning yourself off of it gradually. Lately, I've been reading on stock investing, and products that have a franchise value (meaning, there's...

    Kicking the Coke Habit: Hello, Clear Skin

    Tea tree oil is a natural disinfectant. If it helps you, antibiotics might work for you as well without drying your skin.

    Is it just me ?

    If it makes you feel any better, most athletes, I believe, don't hang on to their millions. They spend it all, get too old to play, and then have to get a real job. And just having money won't get them on the social register.

    Kicking the Coke Habit: Hello, Clear Skin

    Deciding several years ago to eat a lot less gluten (read: wheat) made a big difference, too, but didn't get rid of my skin problems entirely. I've read that sugar isn't very good for your skin. All I'm drinking now is water and herbal tea, and an occasional soda (about one a week). I...

    Kicking the Coke Habit: Hello, Clear Skin

    I stopped drinking Coke a few months ago and my acne is gone. I didn't make any other significant changes in my diet or medications.

    Well, it's over.

    Richard, I've never been married, so take this suggestion for whatever you think it's worth. You say you've been running the household and sleeping on the couch and your wife doesn't appreciate you. I don't think it's right for her to ask you to leave, but if you do get your own place, she...

    Looking for old 1930s-40s vintage garage door plans! (or garage plans w/doors??)

    Is there a Tuff Shed store where you live? They'll build it any way you want it. They could probably build it with doors that open overhead, but have the windows and wood work that you want. My garage used to have those old doors that opened out--I don't recommend them. They sag, they're hard to...
